I knew it would happen, now we see it in full effect. Total prejudice against people who practice Islam.
The ones making these kinds of threads never have anything good to say about Muslims, they only point out the bad things that are supposedly done in the name of their religion by a small minority of radicals.
Hope you guys are happy following in the footsteps of the likes of Hitler. Hitler hated Jews, you guys hate Muslims.
They're really putting in a lot of work with their propaganda, it seems to be working.

I think the ME will keep the US busy for a while. Sudan or Somalia might be a good bet if they want to expands theaters.
I wonder which helpless country is next on the list....

Freedom of Speech at it's finest... or not. Anyways, it's fortunate for you that you have a safe place online to express your happy thoughts, I mean it's not like you can do so in reality because somethings are better left unsaid.
Just picture you saying that over a lunch break with colleagues or some acquaintances..

I unlike most don't hide behind the internet to express my views....I come for a very large a religiously diverse family and friends....All of which fully know my views....I could care less about anyone else or what they think of me....
And if you're implying that personal harm could come to me in public over my views or personal beliefs....Well I say bring it on. I'm a big boy and more than capable of handling what ever comes my way....
Thanks for your concerns pumpkin.....
The key question, then, is why religious people are generally less intelligent. And the authors did not shy away from the answer, offering three compelling explanations:
(1) Intelligent people are generally more analytical and data-driven; formal religions are the antithesis: they are empirically fluffy and their claims are often in direct contradiction with scientific evidence, unless they are interpreted metaphorically – but maybe intelligent people are not that keen on metaphor. Another way of putting it is that people with a high IQ are more likely to have faith in science, which isn’t religion’s best friends (yes, yes, I do know about Einstein’s quotes).
(2) Intelligent people are less likely to conform, and, in most societies, religiosity is closer to the norm than atheism is. Although this interpretation is based on extrapolation, it still makes sense: first, smarter people tend to be less gullible; second, in most societies religious people outnumber atheists and agnostics - though global levels of religiosity have been declining, and there is substantial cultural variability in religiosity levels.
(3) Intelligence and religiosity are “functionally equivalent”, which means that they fulfil the same psychological role. Although this intriguing argument contradicts points 1 and 2, it deserves serious consideration. Humans will always crave meaning. Religion – like science and logical reasoning – provides them with a comprehensive framework or system to make meaningful interpretations of the world. At times, religion and science are in conflict; but they can also act in concert, complementing each other to answer non-falsifiable and falsifiable questions, respectively. The authors conclude that some people satisfy their desire to find meaning via religion, whereas others do so via logical, analytical, or scientific reasoning – and IQ predicts whether you are in the former or latter group.
It happens now and then, those whom do not know you from adam tell you they know you have never read this or that...yada, yada.....blurp...theres no way you can read all 600 pages.....blurp...seriously, you are speaking on the side of non informed. I have read a lot of books over the years, and this huge book was one of them. If you have any comprehension skills at all, then you should read it as you will speak from a level of insight rather than sound like a fool with a unknowing point of view. I will not entertain your stance, that is yours, but for the record...the Urantia book was the most interesting read on this type of subject....

It's a BOOK. Paper and INK.
It's only EVIL if you CHOOSE to BELIEVE it is evil. It has NO intrinsic power of its own. It is how the words INSIDE of it are USED that make the followers "good or bad".
Seriously. It's a BOOK. What people DO with a book is more important than the ACTUAL book.
