YES SIR... Christians like to believe that they are monotheists but practically the are polytheist.

If you want to believe ben laden did it, it is up to you, he is just another CIA agent. He is nobody in a Muslim world except for being CIA agent. If you believe that the rest of the world falls for the US govt, Nat geo, disc version of what happened on 9/11 then may SOMETHING help you. ANYWAY I WAS NOT OFFENDED..

Shmuley is a fucking shmuck.

I think Hitchens has no idea how Islam works in a society such as Iran. His take on religion is otherwise beyond great, though. Learn more: /watch?v=TjzBzu3icZE (holy fuck, could that starting music be any more corny? hah)

"Christianity is based a lot on faith but if you believe in God he shows himself to you in a lot of ways." This will work with any other religion. Even one I make up in the next five minutes.

darth it's ok to be judgemental if you think someone else is wrong, everybody does it on some level or other. i do think it is about emotion for believers. from what i have observed they 'feel' connected to god and 'know' without any tangible, testable evidence that god exists and often what he wants! believing first then asking questions later is highly illogical and you know it. saying that everything is 'perfect' when it clearly isn't doesn't really strengthen your case either. clarify!!!

yeah, i'd be happy to talk to you about any of it. i just want you to know i'm not arguing about it or judging anyone, just having a discussion. but, it's not really about emotions, atheist usually speak a lot about logic, i was just saying i think it's more logical to believe in creation. everything is just too perfect to be an accident or by chance. Christianity is based a lot on faith but if you believe in God he shows himself to you in a lot of ways.

BECAUSE of God, the cell physiology functions within the body of Hitchens. Without the spiritual base to his existence, the cells would not function. Sadly, he bought the ILLUSION that scienTISTS proved life is chemical-onlyism. They don't have a clue to LIVING things. Somebody help Christopher. N/C
