You could at least share with people which film that brilliant line comes from. For any that are interested it is Clue. Hilarious dark comedy.

It is the way it works when I teach religion. I do not teach one religion as being right and other being wrong. I teach what people believe and, because I find it interesting, I teach how the religions are similar to each other. Now, if you simply disagreed with what people believe then fine...

An education about this subject matter should be to tell children what people believe, from various religions as well as secular. This way the child can learn and make up their own mind as to what they believe. You seem to be preaching the idea to stop teaching religion all together or to teach...

I have not had the same experience with the church as you've had, but I have nonetheless become disillusioned with it. I do not put any faith in the Church as an institution and feel that it is infested with contradictions. It feels it is infallible and therefore can do whatever it pleases. I am...

Of course not all aspects of religion are positive, and therefore have given some people the delusion that they should carry out horrible acts in the name of their religion. However, how can you say 'educate' people when religion is a very good and positive aspect of their lives? The reason you...

Islam accepts Jesus as a prophet, but not as the son of God. If the Qur'an, which is a very different religion, can still accept Jesus as a person who spoke some truth, why is it so hard for people who have nothing to lose of gain from Jesus existing, to accept that the idea of Jesus living...

Personal beliefs are exactly that...personal. To each their own. There is no saying who is right and who is wrong.

Could add: f) because they were brought up to believe g) because it helps guide them through difficult times h) it gives them a sense of purpose i) gives them a guide on how to live their life j) because they feel God has saved them from walking the wrong path k) because they simply choose to...

A couple of things...First, and most important, please do not refer to me as an American or having an American way of thinking. Second, would you not agree that respecting someone would just be a sign of good manners and common decency? I don't agree with what you believe, but that hasn't caused...

Please keep in mind that the Bible was written by people and those people lived in a society very different from our own. People, although can be great beings, can also be purely selfish and greedy. They put their own ideals forward and try to convince everyone else that they are right. I have...

Civilisations older than the Bible had laws, but they were different. Keep in mind that Barabbas was, among other things, a murderer and was released instead of Jesus. Killing was deemed to be wrong in society at that time. I merely pointed out that the Bible made it one of the 10 main laws of...

I do not believe she was raped. The comment was to meant to be as far fetched as the idea of her being a dirty slag. I believe in the immaculate conception and that she gave birth to a boy she named Yeshua, a common Jewish name at the time.

The dates for Christmas and Easter were chosen because they were at the same time as Pagan holidays and the church wanted to make it easier for people to convert to Christianity. 'You can still celebrate this time of year just celebrate this instead of that,' sort of thing. This is why Easter is...

I do not, in any way, believe that Atheists are immoral. Nor am I suggesting that the idea of killing people would have been legal had religions not deemed it wrong. But as you said yourself, it was written down thus taking the need for people to come across the idea themselves out of the...

A dirty slag is a willing participant, if anything Mary the mother was raped, But that is just arguing semantics. I do apologise; I thought you were confusing Mary the mother with Mary Magdalene.

People are to blame for their own acts. A religion gives guidance and helps people find a few answers in their own lives. All the atrocities that have happened in the name of religion re committed by people who are trying to justify their own misdeeds and desires. Religion has also been the base...

I think you are taking two different people named Mary and putting them together.

There is historical evidence that Jesus the man did exist, whether or not he was the son of God is the dispute. I do believe Jesus rose from the dead. What I can't believe is the the day Jesus was killed in such a horrific way is called 'Good' Friday. Sound's like a pretty bad day to me.
