I didn\'t say Buddhists were fanatical. I said that now I know why this group of Muslims are fanatical. The Shi\'ites are the fanatical muslims and the ones us Americans are fighting.

Titan, your last 3 or 4 posts are a summation of all the ignorance of every anti-mormon site on the net. Basically, anything you hear about our church by a n0n-member will be false or have a negative overtone to it.

People act like we are strange and our practices are far out. Go to Barnes and Noble and read some of their "General" religion books, they won\'t mention our church, and if they do, it will be grossly inaccurate or very negative. You have also shown how every anti-mormon acts when we explain when they are wrong.

"I don\'t recall bringing my social studies teacher into this", Iron showed you otherwise and you didn\'t even acknowledge it, you just moved on, which is what they all do, move on to the next thing. And everytime we disprove some idiot, another 8 pop up, it is like some sort of Whack-an-Idiot game.

I did achnoledge it. Read my posts.

Prove that your religion is true with some hard core facts and I\'ll shut up.

This thread is big now. Religon vs science. The history have proven that science sooner or later always proves religion wrong (not everything yet but sooner or later science will). If we could go back in time and have this discussion thing would look pretty funny. The relgious people claiming that the earth is flat and the science people claiming that the world is round. Religious people would claim that the earth is in the center of the universe and the science people saying that the earth is just another planet rotating around the sun.
Look at this thread. The year is 2002 and the religious people are claiming that the earth is just a couple of thousend years old, that God planted Dinousaur bones and other stuff (for reasons unknown?!?) The people here that is not religious belives that the Earth probably is a couple of billion years old.
Well, lets just see who proves who wrong. I really do belive that in the future people will take for granted that the earth is billion of years old , religous or not, it´s just a question of time.

Can we blaim religion for what happened with the WTC?
Can we blaim religion for women in Africa having their clitoris cut away?
Can we blaim religion for people blowing up their self in crowded areas so a lot of people die?
Can we blaim religon for people dying because their religion says that they can´t use certain medicines?
Can we blaim Religion for sciencepeople being killed for their belives and theories?
Can we blaim relgion for the death of thousends of Afhanistan women and children?

IMO HELL YES!!! I hate when people hide their actions behind a book!!!
A week ago a Swedish "A religiousfree-school" was closed because the teachers told the students that cancer only happens too people who lakes fate in God. That is not a Joke. They actually told the students that if you don´t belive in God, you very well can get cancer but if you belive in God that will not happen to you!!!

Can we blaim science for the nuke?
Can we blaim science for weapons?
Can we blaim science for polution?

Hell yes. But Science also brings good things:
Medicin
Internet
Computers
Playstation 2
Books
Understanding  the nature.

The only good thing with religion IMO is that people can find thrust and friendship and a identity for them selfs.

Noone will ever ever convince me that religion is a good thing. Please try if you feel you can convince me.
Just take one week of your life and look at the news on the TV and document all wars, all suicides and every other terrible things you see on TV and try too put those things together with religion, not very hard. Not that religion is the cause for all evil, but you can find religion too often.
You all have the right to belive what you want but for IMO religion is a evil thing that brings out the worst in mankind.
People are actually killing eachother because they belives in different religions!!!! It´s sad, it´s pathetic.
Its a human right to belive whatever you want. But why can´t some religious people understand that!?!? Why do some "free religos schools" in Sweden tell the children that cancer is something you get because you have lake of fate in God? Why??
I cant prove for any of you that the Earth is almost 5 billion years old. It doesn´t matter what kind of evidence I show, because you will still have your book that claimes the opposit.
I can´t prove that religion started because humans didnt know better. We thought that when their was a earthquake a mysterious force had punished the humans. We didn´t know better!! we started to belive their was this superior force a God that caused this.
I can´t prove for you guys that dinousaures lived, I can´t even prove that I exist.

Hey  Bossieman!  What about all those church organizations that help feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and finds homes for the homeless?  That\'s good. . . right?

[Titan]

Bossieman, I was hoping you would reply with your science facts. Your post made the most sense and was the most intelligent (except for the typos ). I agree. Religion can be blamed for quite a bit of the worlds problems. The war in Afghanistan. Bin Laden declared a holy war on the US. Holy war for what? He\'s saying to the bombers that if they kill themselves for this "holy war" that they will go to heaven. Isn\'t that the biggest load of crap. I was flipping trought the book of Genesis. I couldn\'t believe a word that book said. Noah was 500 years old? It is physically impossible. Could Abraham really be a prophet? According to Kafka (sp), Abraham could have just said that so he didn\'t look like an old fool. When Joshua blew down the walls of Jericho (if it was Joshua. Don\'t remember who it was exactly), couldn\'t it just have been an earthquake? I think so. Jericho sits on an earthquake belt.
I still find it amusing that people believe the earth is only a few thousand years old. They are so dumb. There is hardcore scientific evidence that the earth is 4.whatever billion years old.

Um, don\'t you mean "fault line?"  Funny coincidence how there was an earthquake at just the right time for Joshua.

Oh, and I think the Earth is 4 Billion years old too.  But I wouldn\'t say the evidence is "hardcore."  Could be more, could be less, but right around 4 billion years sounds about right.

Why thank you sir.  I\'ve decided to steer clear of the "I made 2000 posts!" thread, and so I\'ll just have to go off topic here to pat myself on the back.

*pat*

So. . continuing the tangent. . . yes, I have gotten the songs, and you\'re right. . . they rock!  (And thanx for the congratz.)

I was watching the international channel, on Monday nights @ 1:00 AM EST they show Japanese music videos.  Got me some more songs from there.
