yes, and it was very amusing.

i'd say that pretty much sums it up

Wich does bring us to the question "what is murder?" and the answer has changed a lot from age to age and continent to continent (and even nation to nation and village to village i guess).

Global warming will not finish us off, but it will affect us. From decreased farming area, to extreme weather conditions (hurricanes anyone?), and i think everyone can guess where those two could lead to. But that doesn't mean we should not try to lessen the amount of carbage we dump into the enviro...

The main difference between the christian acts, and muslim acts noted, is the time, christians did horrible, unhumane things in the past, some Muslims are doing them now. Being a Muslim, or believing in Allah (God) is not the cause of these acts, altough it is used as such by both sides, the causes ...

hmmm, lot of links, all from one website.
There are lot of "not nice" parts in Quran, and in Islam, so is in the Bible, and in christianity.
This website proves nothing, except that you can take anything out of context if you want.

And even today, it is not so much of "Thou shalt not kill" as more of "Thou shalt not kill (exceptions may apply)", self defense, death sentence, war, etc...
Simply put, even that simple rule is not universal and unviolate, it has exceptions in how it is applied, even today.

Every rule in science is a subject to change, because when more information is made available, the theories are either adjusted, or abolished and replaced with something that works better and/or more accurately. Theory or Relativity has been found imperfect, this is not a surprise, but as long as it...

Can you, using your own common sense, bring yourself to believe that three thousand cases of arson against churches in America in the past decade alone were not, by and large, motivated by hatred and contempt of their faith? Easily, USA is a very large country, with lot of churches, and while some ...

Actually, the major terrorist leaders tend to come from very wealthy and well educated families. Yes, leaders, not the suicide bombers and people actually going to the forefront. To them the religion they claim to follow is just a tool to be used to gain power (atleast to most, and rest are most li...

In almost every forum and bulletin board I'm a member of, from photography to programming, if they have an "off topic" forum, the rules specifically state "No Politics" and "No Religion". There's a reason for that. Unfortunately, as the author of the comics himself insists on bringing both religion...

does this thread miss a post?

and no eating shrimps i believe, or any other seafood but fish

Though there are many prominent scientists who still believe that theory to be true. if you mean ID, then name them, if plsating universe, it is a meaningles question, we can't know about anything before Big Bang, or after the big crunch, so one must have faith, our society does not, and science ev...

Incidentally, there's no proof that anyone executed in the United States for murder was actually innocent. We've never gotten the "wrong man", even with our rusty justice system. So let's just drop that little myth, mmkay? Unless you're a member of the Church of Liberalism. Then I'll let bygones be...

while i'm a bit uncomfortable about death sentence (because, are you really, really sure that you got the right man, yes, well you'd better be), there is no change of getting a wrong man here.

I'm all for death penalty, and hearing about this gives me a farm fuzzy feeling inside (or maybe it's just the cheese i'm eating).

Most of us here tend to agree with a lot of that, and those that don't mostly came to this forum simply to malign him. I take offence on this, i do not agree with Ralph on most issues, but i am not here to be malign the author, i am here to discuss about comic and take part in the debates that go o...

* A man walking down the street, talking to himself. Are you more likely to believe he's talking on a hands-free cellphone, or having a psychotic episode? * A woman lying very still on the grass, her eyes closed. Are you more likely to believe she's sleeping, or brutally murdered? * A man in a whit...

Which actually brings me to a quote I read over lunchtime: Nobody has the freedom to choose to do what's morally wrong. Who decides what is morally wrong? You? And if it is supposed to be self evident then why do so many people get it wrong? I try to do the best i can, but i also admit i might be w...
