I'm an atheist. I will not begin to discuss religion here, because nothing good will come out of it. Just look at some of the things that have been said already... I respect everyones belief, as long as they respect mine. Religion does not make a person good or bad, his way of life and his intentions do. I know just as many religious people that deserve punishment as I do non-religious! and I agree with Muris on this: "And I honor every man as long as he's modest,fair,decent,honest etc. " Thats basically what i had in plan to say People, please be careful.. i've never seen a thread about politics or religion that havent resulted in fights.

I'm agnostic.
I was born and brought up Catholic from an early age but became an atheist in my teens. As I've grown older I've moved more to a position between the two - and not through growing older or wiser as I'm only older but certainly not wiser. In growing older for me I've perhaps accepted a more open field - for me - and now am happy to both wait and hope to be amazed. (I HOPE to be amazed so maybe I'm moving more towards theism...) Within the scope of moral judgment (which to me is defined by human society, as opposed to ethical - which is given by a divine) - I don't think I'm capable of judging. I certainly can't judge ethics or ethically - that is for a Divine to do (assuming that there is one). I'm flawed in many ways but I do my best - human, all too human - and the best I can offer is to do my best. What we believe and adjudge sacred or profane though is very personal to us all. And I don't think anyone is having a dig at anyone else so far but as Trond suggests let's keep it that way. Respect each other's beliefs Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Tangent @ Muris: You can't call the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay terrorism because by the very definition of terrorism it does not apply. Terrorism is using an act of terror to deliver a desired reaction from a general population to enact a desired policy change out of fear. The detainees in Guantanamo are prisoners of "war" and regardless of how cruel they may be treated, it does not affect mood of the general population. It would be another matter entirely if the US was picking up people at random and subjecting them to that type of treatment, but so far as I know that is not the case. Meanwhile, self detonating in a public market place could most certainly be construed as an act of terror. I'm not saying what takes place there is necessarily a lesser evil than acts of terrorism, but they are certainly different forms, as one act victimizes innocent randoms and the other victimizes someone who is captured on the "battlefield". Of course I'm sure there is a disconnect as I am an aforementioned westerner and certainly my perspective is not as accurate as your own. Either way, I know and work with many Muslims that are of your mindset Muris, and that's great because there's plenty of space in this sandbox we call Earth for everybody Of course,there are some ugly things at Guantanamo but I could have chosen a way better example. Invasion on Irak maybe,IRA.... Anyhow,I'm glad we understand each other. -------------------- Youtube

What is the Big Bang? Billions of years ago, before the universe was even here, there was a small ball of matter floating, eventually it exploded expanding trillions of trillions of light years across creating everything, which is still expanding today. I'm not sure exactly of the theory behind it, here is a link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang -------------------- |
