The answer depends on how many controls a person believes are at God's command. If, for example, a person has a life-saving near-miss occurrence...
Just for the record, by definition, "atheism" is not a religion. I mean, it just isn't. There really isn't any opinion about it. If I think there...
I have said for a while now that terrorism isn't the biggest problem created by Islam. The biggest problem is the bigotry that its tenets level on...

Christianity is in large part responsible for the condemnation of gay marriage and gay right. Please, do not deny that. How many times have I...
