I mean that when something is wrong, it is the duty of each believer to say publicly that it is, and explain why, using reason. Because truth is also, always rational.

It is a challenge, because...

Here you see the dangers of mixing religion with politics. On the other hand you can also see the dangers of religion ignoring politics in today's west.

The correct way is always in the middle,...

Actually, it is exactly because what we do here influences our outcome in the afterlife, that the Kingdom is not of this world.



This doesn't delete the fact that Mohammed indeed broke his own...

I have been asking one more thing, if you notice: the passage of te Deuteronomy applies to Jews taking a foreign city, not to Jewish cities taken by foreigners. How was Mohammed supposed to apply it...

I do not expect anything of a state. But of religion, on the other hand? That is because the reasons of the body are not those of the spirit.

Since the Banu Qurayza didn't follow their own law...

Indeed, I remember these concepts being used before. Figli della Lupa (Fascist Italian youth movements) promoted health through gymnastics as well...

So we must assume the Banu Qurayza indeed committed mass suicide?

It is an interesting treaty, yet again, the problem remains. It is mercy over justice (justice, perhaps) or justice over mercy?

A society can endure with harsh laws and rigid systems of...

Afraid not. And it is not like something is less wrong because others do it as well.

I hope you understand the paradoxical nature of your answer. God allegedly gives Mohammed a perfect law. He then hands over to Mohammed the enemies of the muslims, who happen to worship Him (because...

There is nothing possibly linking the info you gave to any negative effect. A negative effect can be postulated or imagined, not inferred.

Yes, now I understand what you speak of.

That is the gate of the kingdom of the dead for the Incas. Interestingly enough there are two I Ching exagrams which portray exactly the Inca...

I have no information on this thing you mention: it would be nice if you provided a link, would you be so kind?

Now, that doesn't look convincing. Black holes are not black, by the way.

— Activists intimidate and harass anyone regarded as critical of the President

If I have an idea, and everyone who tries to implement it creates a nightmarish situation of hell on earth, there is a distinct possibility that my idea is diabolic.

Hitler, aside from being a genocidal monster, was quite surely a paranoid, a drug addict (as a consequence of his doctor's "original" therapy for his Parkinson) and a paedophile.



Now, that is...

A lot of damage can be done in a very small time. And money can come from elsewhere. For example, from muslim nations which perceive the west as an enemy.

This is all a bit old to me infact. I...

They had no huge nuke arsenal, though.

If you say so. I never said material advantages are a negative. I said that they are not a boon. More so, if I had to choose between the possibility to learn, and a comfortable life, I would gladly...

If Putin goes on with this, he will cause the death of many millions, but Russia will be destroyed and he will die as well. If he is mad and he cannot see this, we are in a bit of a predicament.

Not really.

But I will not live for my computer, and neither for my beautiful house, or my car. Because indeed, these things are useful. Yet they are not my goal.

I was answering this, obviously.

Perhaps that is what you see.



Indeed, clear cut and precise. How did God answer? Did He appear in the sky and tell: go up against him?



Merely because in Islam Jesus is not the chief...

Quite the opposite. You live in what I would call hell, because you consider material advantages to be a boon.

The fact that the remaining 80% lives in misery, makes your and my privileges, very...

It is indeed interesting how, by Jesus own words, these passages, and all the law of the OT, turn under a new light. It is debateable if these actions are the consequences of the evil nature of God,...

I look around, and I see no paradise.

The sermon of the mount, and the sermon of the plain, are highly interesting stuff. In the sermon of the plain, there's also the famous "can a blind man lead the blind" in reference to Jesus own...

I never have OBEs. I see things, quite interesting things as well, which may symbolically foretell future events, in many different circumstances, but none of these experiences has material...

Well I've heard priests refer to Islam as a scourge sent by God to punish our sins many times. They must have been heretics as well. Too bad they were on official Church radio stations...

I...

The face of God knows many functional disguises, and yet often even those who see such a disguise go mad.

I have seen many translations of that passage, in french, english and italian. Whether they are crap or not, they do exist.

The problem is whether we speak of Jesus. The past, necessarily leads to believe that we are talking of the man(-God) Jesus.

Well, in truth, there's everything you see there is, and as I said in the edit...

Besides:

There is no 11th commandment... Or better, this is incorrect: Jesus said

Love each other as I have loved you.

Those ideas caused in the end, hundreds of millions of dead. And of course, they never worked, even for an instant.

Well you see, the good side of prophecies is that they never mean something precise.

No interpretation ever succeeds, and any interpretation succeeds. The degree of membership of an item to a cathegory is never 0, nor 1. Necessarily, a content which is out of place in a context is...

Have you considered that, from the point of view of someone who doesn't know you or me, we are both "potential" pedophiles? Anyone is. A potential assassin, or thief, as well.

The cathegory is...

If Bush was like Hitler, don't you think we would never have heard anything as such? the truth is, as is evident with Bush, stupidity is not totalitarianism. But stupidity is a great friend of all...
