I have issues with Islam, yet Sultan says we have been misled. It's confusing.
Is it Islam or is it man? Some of the passages in Islam that I've read encouraged violence. It's hard to believe Islam is peaceful.
It's a bit unfortunate that you now have a prezzy candidate who gets his beliefs from some guy who looked into a stovepipe hat to see the word of God that he promptly lost under questioning.
But what the hell. As long as does no harm to anyone but Americans who might be daft enough to elect him.
Well have you ever noticed every time we are in a war the non-religious call it a religious war? They even claim Hitler was a Christian in which we know he was a Darwin nut and rejected Christianity when he got older. Now 911 is Christians against Muslims. I will bet the Muslims think so to by the liberal media. Heck non-religions don’t go to war which is a lie. I think they cause so much confusion it’s brother against brother. Yes, Islam has some messages in the Quran that teaches either commit to Allah or kill them but they don’t read the whole thing. Some of their teachers because a lot of Muslims can’t read it tell them it is their duty to kill us. We all know it’s going to happen according to the Bible but it’s upsetting to watch.
You seem to favor words like "insane", "lunatics", "needy", etc. to discredit people that believe in God and, as usual, your jump in with both feet into a topic I believe you know little about. Belief in a higher being might be alien to you, because you seem to be closed-minded on the subject. I'm not saying that anything is wrong with a skeptical opinion towards God, after all, we are who we were brought up to be. If you were brought up in an environment that wasn't very religious or may have even shunned religion, it would be natural to follow suit, as the reason and thought of "believing" would be alien to you.
However, to marginalize others for believing in something that you feel the need to ridicule by using terms such as "flying saucepans" and "extra-terrestrial cooking utensils" goes beyond normal ignorance on a subject. It goes deep into disdain, which isn't very logical since the task of disproving the existence of God is just as difficult as proving there is a God.
Are you 100% sure that some sort of "higher being" doesn't exist? I would be surprised if you said "yes", as even the most devoted "believer" could not honestly say they are 100% that God does exist. If they did, they have surpassed logical thought and have dived into pure "faith". So, just as a believer may have "faith" that God does exist, one could say that an atheist has "faith" just as strongly that god does not exist......two side of the same coin.....a coin that is devoid of open-mindedness and logic.
If the atheists are right, nothing good or bad will happen. However, if the believers are right........

You have it in one:
Catholics breed Catholics, Protestants breed Protestants, Muslims breed Muslims, Hindus breed Hindus.If you were brought up in an environment that wasn't very religious or may have even shunned religion, it would be natural to follow suit, as the reason and thought of "believing" would be alien to you.
How is that not insane?
