What is that about?
Soldato
people dont need to have kids but they choose to, and just because they are optional doesnt mean they wouldn't care.
mocking beliefs(which is usually something close to ones heart) isn't attacking them ? sure lets see if you can walk into a church/mosque and shout insults at their prohet and see if they agree with you.
Soldato
ok im blind and you're stupid....fair ?
i asked for threads which bash Hindus or Jews in the same way.
The church would ask you to leave. The mosque would probably kill you.

and that has what exactly to do with what i posted ?
im bored so i wanna join in the discussion
Soldato
lol im not sure that would happen but atleast you agree they would be offended.
When the jews or hindus start shouting "death to cartoonists" I'm sure you will find many similar threads.
Soldato
oh geez you are a laugh....you said you are/were Hindu, then wouldn't you know that it was quite common that Hindu women are burned alive when their husbands die ?
talk about throwing stones at peoples houses when living in a glass house

It's funny how offence works really, if you're offending a minorities beliefs then it's A-OK because it's just irrational nonsense you're attacking and it's really funny whereas if I was to post a satirical cartoon involving a naked woman or a swear word then I suspect the post would be swiftly deleted and I'd be banned, because apparently such images and language are 'unsafe' or 'offensive' despite the fact that I'd wager most of the forum would find such an image perfectly safe and inoffensive, and the reasoning behind finding 'swear words' or 'nudity' offensive is just irrational as, say, drawing pictures of Mohammed.

How anyone can believe in any religion confused me - As tempting as it is to believe we're in someway super special, and you gone on after death. It seems clear to me that it's just a culturally lead, self centred, delusional vanity to me...
it can help people make it through another day i guess. just think some poor women in the village works hard all day trying to feed her kids ...some days they eat and some days they dont......one day her daughter gets raped the next her son gets run over and becomes crippled by the rapist.
what words of comfort could you give to her ? especially in some backwards country where money rules all.
convicing her he would serve time in the depths of hell and burn for eternity and that they would make it to heaven if they stay strong and prayed would probably help her stay positive even when all is going wrong.
i do believe religion has its good uses too.....
Get out.
Why?
I think lies can't help. If a loved one dies, trying to suggest a God has done it for some purpose surely can't help the matter?
If anything lies just make life and death more confused.
If you consider my post from last night...
Look at this image again (click me):-
And I explained that basically every single dot there is not a star but indeed an entire other galaxy, made up of billions of other stars.
If you consider a thousand years ago, our knowledge of the universe was very limited, and everything appeared utterly unexplainable. As such belief in God was so much easier. Today, we can explain much of the Universe and see how and why we have come into existance, without a need for a God.
As such, today, we are at a disadvantage - We have less reason to believe than an ancestors 1000 years ago.
And this goes back to me pointing out how unfair the Heaven selection system is. Born today probably means a lesser chance of believing, so a lesser chance of going to Heaven.
Another picture, this time lookling the other way:-
That dot is the furthest picture of earth. I'll quote Carl Sagan at this point:-
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
To me, that suggests life is far more important and prolific than any religious document may suggest. If gives life true importance and true weight.The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
And let us remember, Carl Sagan has gone to hell, as he didn't believe in God. His intelect, the family and the time he was born in, meant his inquisitive nature made him investigate the workings of the universe, which inturn made him realise that a God is not required to explain its existance.
Had Carl been born one or two thousand years earlier, or to a different family, his life would no doubt have been very different and may then have stood a better chance of ending up in Heaven.
How fickle (and unfair) the system that an ultimate being has created, just for us, on this tiny spec in all the universe!

Except that throwing acid on womens faces, and other forms of violence and attacks against women are supported by the taliban, and even by many of the Sharia governments, whereas Hindu women being burned alive when their husbands die is outlawed and extremely rare in current day India.
You fail, get with the times.
By the way, India has also legalised Homosexuality and is a very democratic and free place to live. Women can wear whatever they want, and go clubbing every night and even give a strip tease should they want to without any worry of any kind of religious police finding and stoning them to death for doing that.
Of course, the ever expanding rural and uneducated population is currently Indias largest problem that the goverment has not been able to control. Whereas China were able to implement harsh one child only policies, India has had to cope with free democratic laws which allow women to have as many children as they like, and are having to struggle with incredibly low amounts of financial resources to try to educate people in the the rural areas.
India and Hinduism is not limited or being oppressed by a fanatical poltical movement, their political system is actually very exemplary and modern for that part of the world, however the problem in India is its uncontrollable population growth.

i bet he doesnt even know that it says in the Quran that we can and are allowed to marry people of the Book ie christians and Jews
Why exactly is it reccomended that they do then? What is wrong if they remain christian or Jewish?
Muslims who are ok with marrying non muslim people are a vast tiny minority.
However, regardless of what the koran says about marrying people of other faiths, it definately does prohibit marrying 'unbelievers':
So I were actually right, and people who say that the Koran condones muslims marrying non muslims are liars.
