  It’s funny because many Christians say the same things.

• This Is Why Alaska Airlines Passengers Will No Longer Get Prayer Cards

  In reply to yanki161.

  I was offended when England was forcing taxes on our colonies without representation in parliament. I could of just found an alternative land to live, but I instead fought to tear away from them.

  Just because you have an alternative doesn’t mean you should just ignore it. You have the right to protest and complain, so it! No one should have anything forced on them, especially something they don’t believe. Ignoring it would be a very un-american way of handling it, I think.

  That’d mean millions more on food stamps, welfare, etc. Thank God 50 some odd million American‘s weren’t born; this place would be in even more trouble than it already is.

• ‘God Is an Imaginary Friend’: Atheist Billboard Ignites Controversy in Colorado

  In reply to Roger Finkelstein.

  The phenomenon of “near death experiences” actually have a logical theory. We have a natural chemical in our brain that causes hallucinations when unregulated, and trauma has potential to release it in unregulated doses in the brain. This of course can cause such hallucinations as “light beyond the tunnel”. Such experiences are very irregular.

  And also, the obvious fact that if you truly died, you’re not “coming back to life”. The heart, the brain, the cells, the organs to not shut off as quickly as a flat line. Even if doctors loose response, you’re body is still technically alive in the sense that cells and organs are still functioning. So many people seem not to understand the true functioning of a body.

  As a post script, a doctor decided to test out such claims, and put pictures on a wall that someone could only see ascending up (those “out of body” experiences some people claim.) No one who has claimed of an experience yet has been able to say what those pictures are, even though they should of easily seen them if they were truly floating in the room.

  Such experiences are the most bogus “proofs” there are to an afterlife when not only has no one died, but the brain is so prone to hallucinations.

  This happened back in 2005, and has been happening for as long as the sun has been formed. There’s nothing “end time” about it.

  A Republican, Lamar Smith, is the sponsor of the bill. Obama’s administration has publicly opposed SOPA and PIPA. How about you do a little research before you open your mouth?

  Obamacare doesn’t even start until 2014. This is standard procedure of private hospitals and donor centers. Be mad at the private sector; politics have nothing to do with it. I‘m so sick of people blaming something that isn’t even enacted yet. Ignorant fools.

• Gay Club’s Condom-Decorated ‘Christmas’ Tree Causes Outrage at Penn. College

  It’s a private college, so no, no tax dollars could be involved.

• Parents Allegedly Enlist Fellow Churchgoer to Violently Beat Their Son

  In reply to SamIamTwo.

  Of course you label ALL Muslims evil because of “bad apples”. But if people use the same logic on religions other than Islam? HEY DON’T JUDGE A WHOLE GROUP OF PEOPLE, THAT’S NOT FAIR.

  Bigots.

  Woah, hang on there cowboy, let’s not be telling lies now!

  “My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.”

  WHO SAID THAT YOU ASK?

  -Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

  To say that Christianity and Judaism have not enabled violence is as ignorant to say that the religion of Islam has not enabled violence.
