    All of the above. It's a "religion" that exists to give people an excuse to be selfish assholes.

    Coming from a country where there almost are no religious people (if they are they keep it private) this is interesting.
    When I was small, my parents never talked about religion or politics believing I should form my own opinion. I thought that believing in a god was like believing in santa (no one does past a certain age). So the first time I went to USA I felt really uncomfortable seeing how big religion was. Then I developed a stern anti USA mindset thinking they had retarded politics (still does) attacking random countries for oil didn't help.
    I will probably never really understand how a life where religion plays a big role is.

    So because some guy was a dick to you at one point, you can be a dick to everyone else? Come on man.

    Unless, of course, that is the true morality.

    I hope this is sarcasm.

    I remember when I was a hardcore Atheist and dated a Satanist, I was an asshole.

    This applies to me as well, and if I ever get kids, I'll raise them like this. If they have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them, but I'll always say they should go out and form their own opinions.

    How does that make any sense, though?

    That's just not true.

    I personally still find them intriguing.

    Bye.

    Not some guy, my former priest to be exact. A grade A christian!
    Also, I am not a dick to everyone, everywhere. Only to those who spew nonsense, like saying a book which praises mass murder and slavery is a source for morality. Interestingly enough, even Theology students here in Germany aren't that dumb to assume that. (atleast like 80% of them from my experience on many universities across the country over the years)

    So, your argument is basically that it is moral, because god says so. If thats not what you are saying, explain to me how threatening with endless torture can be moral, I really think no thinking human beeing would come to such a conclussion.

    They got a few different kinds of Satanism, Their's athiestic satanism like LaVeyan which uses Satan as a symbol of all natural human urges.

    Then ya got theistic satanism, Which actually thinks that Satan is a god or spirit type being.

    I was stating my opinion, I wasn't saying that is how it was.
    Charity organizations are also giving away food in these regions. Its not impossible to get food. Yet people are still starving.....
    1.) Start spelling right please.

    2.) I'm not the one spewing shit.
    This has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.
    This does nothing to prevent HIV, did you think you can only contract it through "regular" sex?
    Isn't that something I had said? This proves the Pope cannot be blamed for killing people with AIDS, because these people are sinning and going against the pope by having pre-marital sex anyways. So, actually, if people followed everything the pope said, then HIV infections would be sown significantly, not up. Your argument is invalid because you are saying that everyone follows the pope's laws, yet the quote above contradicts that and now you are saying god and the church tries to prevent pre-marital sex, which would stop the spread of HIV anyways.

    Making your opinion bullcrap, as I said.

    I stated that there is no guarentee for availability, but the chance is there if wanted. So whats your point other than to write shit I allready stated?

    Once you spell everything in German, Polish, Italian, Latin or Ancient Greek right, I will listen to that point. Till then, shove it. I am not here to discuss spelling in my 3rd language with you...

    You actually are....

    Man you are a bright one. No, I don't believe this. Thing is, that you assume, through your wuestion, that condoms are mood, since they just contract it via anal sex. Since every human has anal sex ALL THE TIME. Fact is, anal sex in heterosexual relations, while becoming more popular in western countries, is not practized widely in Islam (it is not even allowed)

    It is not something you have said. The thing that is important in my statement is, that preventing pre-martial sex does not work, not even in the most religious nut case countries there ever was. Condoms do work! (assumed there are no technical malfunctions)
    I don't know how old you are so dont know if you ever experienced it, but the sexual instincts implemented in us through evolution are the most hard to ignore insticts created. And it has a point too. Monogamie is a-natural. It is not helpfull for ensuring that there will be a human race in the future. Now, this point is mood, because we enslaved the planet under our will and there is no risk of us dying out because we don't spread ou genetic code out much. And maybe, in a few million years, this sexual urge is lessened in the race that will come after us.

    He has a (bachelor?) degree in ancient history. It's a huge bonus if you are studying stuff written in greek or latin to you know be able to read them in greek or latin.

    I doubt he is able to though.

    If he was is "great" at Ancient History than why doesn't he have a master's or doctorate?
