"You can’t make fun of faith"...did Pope just declare war on free speech!?

As frequently as you mention the term "zombie", I am beginning to believe that you have a definite belief in the existence of zombies. You really do seem to have a hang-up (fascination) with them.

 

For someone who advocates "secular thinking" you fall far short of definitive mark of being one who is a secularist.
"secular
adj1. of or relating to worldly as opposed to sacred things; temporal
2. not concerned with or related to religion

3. not within the control of the Church"

 

Sayyidah Aisha said: ‘When a girl is nine years old, she is a woman (meaning, she has attained puberty).’(Tirmidhi, Hadith 1109)

 

I find it disconcerting when one man advocates one freedom ie. belief by destroying another freedom ie. free speech. But when its the pope doing it, I find it strangely expected. I don't think he's declared war on free speech (the bells aren't tolling yet), but it certainly looks like he did what any politician would do; try to kill the debate before its even begun. I don't agree however that faith is not sacred...I find it sacred because it is something that is personally mine; no one else can truly appreciate what I have. But this should in no way impede non-violent, free discourse concerning religion, morality and faith-- if anything it enhances faith and should cause the faithful to introspection about some deeply held (and sometimes disturbing) views.

 

Science does not agree with that statement.

 

The Third Commandment of the Ten Commandments is Exodus 34:18 (MEV) = "18 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the month of Aviv, for in the month of Aviv you came out of Egypt."

The Ten Commandments don't mention blasphemy.

 

All of those religious zombie movies have a sneaky way of brainwashing even the most ardent skeptic. The zombies are looking for Jesus so that they can eat him and be restored to their original living condition but with the added bonus of eternal life. The problem is that they don't know he looks like so they chow down on everyone. They'll going to catch him one day and have a real feast. But they keep forgetting that Jesus is now a zombie himself so they never see him. We haven't either.

 

Wow! You should write a full script for a new movie. Who knows, it might even win an award for the most original fantasy of the year.

The fact that it can happen does not mean that it happened in this one particular case.

 

The evidence disagrees with you.

 

Your best evidence is a book written by tribesmen roughly 1,400 years ago.

 

mocking gay or disable is the strong mock the weak ,it's not moral and not accepted by most people now days ,but it's still free ,if you say no ,that's a kind of dictatorship
but mocking religion is the weak mock the strong ,as history suggests.

 

What difference does the line you draw between strong and weak make?

 

He's wrong.

 

Why are you posting this nonsense? You must know it is untrue. Old maids by age nine? What are you talking about? Bathsheba was already married to a soldier before David even saw her. How could she be six?

 

Oops...

 

That's to be consistent w/Mohammad boinking Aisha at 9-year-old.....can't contradict Mohammad, doncha know.....even if he's a pedophile.
People, you're smart enough to think for yourselves, but you don't quite realize that yet. It's not moral to have sex with kids because of the psychological damage it causes to them. The GUY is happy about the sex, but if one values girls as much as we value guys (Islam does NOT) then Mohammad was wrong to be a role model who had sex with a kid. Value girls as much as guys. Love females, and you'll see that Mohammad got this one wrong....so of course the Qur'an is basically wrong about him.

 

But evil bothers me, so I have no choice but to try to fight evil when I see it.

 

Science does not agree with Mohammad allegedly "splitting the moon", or riding on a flying horse with wings, either, or with Jesus walking on water.

 

How does evil bother you? Evil is a concept. Concepts are thoughts. So your thinking bothers you?

 

Good post. I saw that in a previous post of yours and can't argue against it because the Bible is so screwed up in telling us exactly what "god" said, that we don't know the exact order or content of the "10 Commandments".

My thinking was that "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" was a commandment to not, well, "blaspheme" against the lord, and it's usually (but not always...man the Bible's screwed up!) commandment #3, at least according to the god known as "Wiki": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments

 

If Mohammad didn't have the hots for Aisha, the age of puberty in Islam would have magically been closer to reality. Funny how that works.

 

Folks, see what's really happening here. An intelligent Muslim is making a real concerted effort, over many threads, to defend pedophilia (Mohammad's)....pedophilia. I blame Mohammad.

Obviously the world needs Modern Secular Humanism as much as ever.

Careful about referring to EVIDENCE, as a religious person.

 

Right. 12 yr old is way way better than 9. Wow.
And no one actually knows the ages. They are all made up.
