It's late-I better stop.

But that is funny. We have a Mormon couple down the street that used to push like that, I know what you mean.
Take a look into it, you'll find that Muslims and Mormons have a LOT more in common than you think.
I think it's funny that you think Habibi dresses up like a woman when he goes to "Sandland". I thought all Canadians dressed up like women. At least that's what BD said.

I wouldn't say I'm "proud" of my Muslim friends, I mean, they choose to committ their lives to a superstition, who am I to poke fun at them? But I do Proud isn't really a word I would use to describe any of my friends who believe in something which doesn't exist.

As far as the 9/11 site, I said in several posts that although they have the 'legal right' to build there, my personal feeling is they should not, and most of my Muslim friends freel the same way, out of 'respect' for the loss of life that occurred there.
Sometimes just because you are technically ' right', doesn't make you right, if that makes any sense.
The thing is, you ban them from building a mosque there, then all of a sudden there's that pesky slippery slope to deal with later.
Who becomes the gate-keeper? What happens when the same people protesting all of a sudden turn to your beliefs because you are black, or gay (like Bucky), or red headed, etc.

I don't hate Christian's, and I don't hate Stealth or Chris or Greener or any of those guys, I hate when they come across with their 'holier than thou" attitude where they think their own pile of poop doesn't have any stench to it, but yet they so freely condemn everyone else who isn't a Christian, there is a difference.

I hate when they behave like big hippocrates, and then hide behind their religion when the going gets tough and claim the rest of us didn't inerpret the bible verse etc....Frank is the king of that trick.

Aside from that, I think they are all good and decent people who wouldn't hurt anyone, and that's the truth.

Sometimes these politics/religious debates can get heated; I hope we're cool.
I think you mean, "you" didn't interpret it correctly. It's not esoteric.

There's a lot of idiocy in this thread.

From those who choose to believe in the Sky Pixies and have imaginary friends and from those who try and convince them otherwise.

I was wondering when Adam would come here and bless us with his non-contributing posts. The Brits are good for something besides bad teeth.

Ah Frank, resorting to ridiculous stereotypes won't help you here. That's not much of a contribution from yourself, is it?

Would you seriously like to debate your imaginary friend? I'm game if you are

Where shall we start?

You, me, and everyone else here knows that we have done that before. You have your beliefs, I have mine. We will both know the truth at the moment of death.

Yes, I suppose we will.

See you on the other side then. Or not, as the case may be.

I noticed my post was deleted. I guess we shouldn't offend the infidels even though they can spit on our laws, blow up our troops, and degrade our religion.

We better go on the offensive against the Muslim religion or find yourself converted at the point of a sword.

Read about the Battle of Lepanto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lepanto and give thanks to brave Christians who wiped out the Muslim navy.

We're the infidels. That's what Muslims call non-Muslims. Not trying to insult you, just a polite correction.

Uh, for centuries, Muslims have often been referred to as infidels by Christians.

Ah, never knew that. I was always under the impression that only Muslims used that term.

Infidel is someone not of your own belief or religeon. So, everyone is an infidel to someone.
