Reading a work of fiction that portrays a character practicing a religion** shouldn't necesarily be problematic regarding the state establishment of religion. ** Assuming for the sake of argument that the fictional practice of a fictional tradition magic is actually supposed to be, or is, a...

Let's assume for the sake of argument that you are correct and (an incredibly minute percentage of ) Muslims are more likly to respond to US agression and provocation with terrorist attacks here in the States than non-Muslim South Americans and Asians would. That still wouldn't warrent the...

People always say the CIA and our foreign policy is naive and ineffective because it leads to blow back and chaos. Americans don't understand that those are exactly the goals they wish to obtain. Nothing naive or incompetent about it. They are competent butchers.

So basically this is Republican-Democrat Neocon plan: 1. Foster situations conducive to violent terrorist tactics. Examples: Invasions, supporting armed revolutions against states so terrorists can use the chaos to create bases of operation, arm radicals and put an embargo on the regime...

Severity certainly plays a role but I wouldn't underestimate the impact of the media propaganda machine that often works as a mouth piece for Demipublican-Republicrat foreign policy and war objectives either. Just watch FOX news the propaganda about the "Muslim Problem" is literally non stop...

I want you to list actual numbers of Muslim terrorist attacks compared with non-muslim terror attacks. Simply naming off a list of attacks commited by Muslims proves nothing other than the already accepted fact that some terror attacks are commited by Muslims. FBI statistics from 1980-2005*...

I also think it's important to realize that our foreign policy and wars have resulted in a massive body count that can out do any terrorist group like AQ or ISIS hands down. So if you hold terrorism against all Muslims you would also have to apply all those deaths to Americans and Christians...

In some countries that may be true. In others, like the United States for example, it isn't. I've noticed that even the far right pundits on Faux News stopped making that claim because they couldn't defend it. Now they make statements that sound like that but if you listen closely instead...

Don't misunderstand my last two posts as being pro democratic party though. Overall Democratic leadership has been just as violent and destructive in terms of war and foreign policy as the Republican party has. Many of the bloodiest and most unnecessary wars have been started by liberal...

So you are admitting that your last statement was misleading? That the Bible in fact says nothing about Satan using magic to create fossils. Also, the Bible portrays witchcraft as a reality so if magic does work the Biblical authors really weren't hiding the fact that it works. Saying Satan...

What verse can I look to that elaborates on Satan creating fossils to confuse scientists living thousands of years in the future about the age of the earth ? I've never even seen the word "fossil" in the translations I use.

None of the history books I remember in my elementary through high school classes had a section on think tanks as far as I can recall. They didn't mention the partisan ( Heritage Foundation, Center for American Progress, Cato Institute. etc..) or non partisan (CFR, Brookings Institue, etc..)...

As much as I dislike Assad I don't think we should have backed the armed revolt against the regime. I dont beleive that Obama and the other politicians who supported the revolution did so out of any real concern for the people of Syria either. They backed the rebels because they view Iran and...

How wimpy. Trump would not only kill the bad guy but also murder their family to make a point*! Humility and turning the other cheek is unchristian and would make our country look bad. Following Christs actual teaching is not Christian [TM]. * His propsed manner of handling terror suspects...

The state can be run based on a thin view of the good that people of various religious and non religious perspectives will be able to give a thumbs up to. A more thick and detailed view of the good is for the specific religious communities and individuals to develop for themselves but not...

If you are saying only the Christian religion claims that their God was uncreated then you must not have spent much time learning about other religions. According to the Shaktism of Ramakrishna who created or gave birth to Kali? No one. She is called the eternal uncreated Reality. Who do...

They have their magazine, Foreign Affairs, at most every public library. It's not like they are trying to hide their existence.

Are those the only issues the Bible discusses or that the government might legislate about? The Bible never condemns multiple spouses (and since when was legalizing it a plank of the Democratic party for that matter?**). At best the Bible might obliquely reference something pertinent to...

The last guy who played him, Hugh Griffith, was Welsh. He was good actor but I'm almost certain they put a little black face paint on him to make him darker. His color looked fake.

Just because the book of Genesis has a (two actually) creation account doesn't mean the book itself, or the story as we have it now, was actually from that time period and handed down orally for hundreds of thousands of years from the first homosapian to the time of the Israelite authors of...
