    Now that's funny. Actually what I meant is why does God allow Saintly people who are highly virtuous to be slandered and calumniated. The answer was that God wants to lessen their pride since humility is a perquisite in Christianity. The more humility, the purer the soul becomes.

    I don't agree with all of the Christianity business (I'm an ex-Christian myself) but that's not important. Now, at least, I understand what you really meant and I'm happy it wasn't what I thought you meant. :nod:

    Sadly, leading by example is not the forte of your deity. I also don't see humility on the Bid Ten List, can't be that important.

    Well, one of those 'fools' stopped human sacrifices, and gave the world its humane laws. That's why we have an AD and BC.

    Take that you fools of misery.
    For we as gods of lofty see,
    are unlike you - such lowly fools
    who follow banal moral rules.

    We make our own, it is our right.
    And why we reign in our great height;
    and not on earth, but in our stead
    of hubris and of bloated head
    - Jeannette

    UH no. Human sacrifices have gone on since men first decided to honor a blood god/gods. Humane laws were not the result of ANY one religion, and religion has caused more insanity to humanity than any other influence not including resources.

    Before Common Era.

    Uhhh, no.

    The Jews go by the year from creation, this being the year 5780.

    For Moslems this is the year 1442 AH.

    For Chinese it is 4716.

    For Buddhists it is 2562.

    According to the Byzantine calendar, this is the year 7528.

    The Ethiopian calendar puts it at 2012.

    *** And about human sacrifice and humane laws .... how do you account for the Inquisition and the Crusades and the KKK and lynching of negroes and slavery and the invasion of Irak and Vietnam and "ethnic cleansing" of Bosnia, "the Holocaust", paedophile priest, most of which were perpetrated in the name of Jesus Christ.

    A similar question was asked of Christianity in France during the "enlightenment" - Christianity survived.

    I think the question is better asked using the term "Islamist" rather than the generic term "Islam". While this ideology should not be able coexist in a society with secular values - people with this ideology are embraced.

    This ideology should not be tolerated in a nation founded on the principle of respect for essential liberty - and the Golden Rule - but this ideology is embraced by many both in France and in the US.

    Belief in the Allah is not the problem here - The problem is wanting to harm others for disagreeing with your particular perspective of Allah.

    Not all adherents to the God of Islam want to force their perspective of Allah on others through physical violence (Law) Sharia in this case.
    Not all adherents to Allah - hate the Golden Rule - and hate themselves accordingly.

    But - all Islamists do want to do this - and we accept these people as legitimate - Britain has accepted Sharia courts - while not actually part of the Law yet - it is as close as you can get without being there - and it is acceptance.

    How can we accept such a thing ? What demon has invaded the brain of one who claims to believe in respect for essential liberty - belief in the founding principle - yet accept those who have no respect for essential liberty - and who are actively working to mess with your liberty - in the name of Allah.

    Why would a Nation founded on respect for essential liberty - allow hoards of people to immigrate who have "I have no respect for essential liberty" stamped on their forehead ?

    Please riddle me this - cause I can not understand.

    I always thought the Byzantine calendar was purely liturgical. I never realized there was such confusion about the dates of creation. I know that before man, the time element was different so what we consider one day, might have been a billion years or so. From the advent of man though, time became as we know it today. What I always wondered though, is if Adam and his descendants could actually live as long as they did - or was time measured differently?

    I'm an advocate of an expanding earth, so could that have something to do with it? I once came across something that said in the Mayan calendar the years at one time had less days. Anyway, I like to keep an open mind about everything.

    Nothing was perpetuated in the name of Jesus Christ other than the Crusades, and they were called to help free the Christian lands and the people from the Seljuk Turks. That's the kind of belief and hatred towards Christianity perpetrated by some, that has caused the genocide of almost 40 million Christians by Bolsheviks in Russia, as well as the cover up by the media of the perpetuators of genocide of Christians these past years, which averaged about 300 a day.

    As for Bosnia, there was no ethnic cleansing. It was another made up story to deceive the American people, and ethnically cleanse and throw a half a million Orthodox Serbs into refugees camps - in favor of course of the former Bosnian and Croatian Nazis. Everything to go against Orthodox Russia. As for the Negroes, they exist and mulattoes exist - but not in the former Ottoman lands, where the babies of black slaves were killed.

    Anyway it's terrible that people could live in a country and not be grateful for what it has given them - as if anyone has an obligation towards anyone. I say that because our country is now going through what Russia went through since the same warped mentality controls it, and like in Russia, it can only lead to enslavement and destruction.

    When it comes to the subjects of the Greeks and religion .... we are NEVER going to come to any sort of agreement.

    Well, it took me a while to get past the saints and other demi-gods walking on water and being human jet ski's. But pretending events that we know did not occur are real while denying actual history usually leads to the dead end of most conversations, the supernatural.

    When mosquitos occasionally take a bite that's one thing but when they start spreading malaria it is time to get rid of the one's you've already got and to put up a net to stop new ones from arriving.
