Mohammed has universal regard among all of Islam. The Pope and his lieutenants do not.
Your argument would make sense if that were not the case.
That being said, my argument isn't about the value of Christianity versus other religions. Instead, I was attempting to explain the rationale of the terrorists to the original poster in this thread (which seems to have gotten lost at some point): Al Qaeda crash airplanes in to buildings because we (being citizens of the United States of all faiths, including atheist and agnostic) are not fundamentalist muslims.
They've told us as much.
It doesn't have nearly as much to do with Marxist ideology, the spread of globalism, or whatever else it is people would like to believe.
Atheism legitamizes any action by removing any moral standard but your own. People that do horrible things in the name of the Lord are acting with no others but themselves in mind.
"Moral Atheists" are merely taking lessons without acknowledging the teacher. Why would a rational atheist act in anyone's interest but his or her own? Is peaceful human interaction then reduced to mere diplomacy, appeasing your neighbor for the moment, since you can't get away with crushing his skull, for now? Is all cooperation merely economy -- is sex and marriage a contract for reproduction?
Your world seems awfully desperate.... Unless, of course, you're advocating your own religion, which I'm sure has it's fair share of atrocities, which I'd be happy to point out to you.
Actually, it really isn't. You need to pay more attention to the roots of Islam, particularly in the context of pre-Mohammed religion in the region, and the way "Allah" is treated in the Quran versus the Bible or the Talmud.
Oh yeah, Mohammed was a sick puppy.
"What's the greatest part about having sex with a nine-year-old?"
"I don't know, ask Mohammed."
To bad Ayesha (married at six, consumated at nine) is a matter of historical record. I bet that's one transmission Islam would like to suppress -- much like the horrific treatment of poor young girls in modern "fundamentalist" states.
Taking away the Lord leaves but one moral compass -- looking out for number one. That is the prize of atheism. Those who claim to be moral atheists are merely taking the lesson and ignoring the teacher.
There's no good reason to. Modern operating systems cache recently accessed files in memory. True, there might be some point in precaching files (like with a ram disk), but also, with a ram disk, you can't eject files that never get touched out of your valuable memory space.
That's why installing more memory makes a computer "faster" -- even if your application doesn't use it, it will still be used by the operating system to cache files.
Was I talking about Nixon? I don't think so. I
never liked the man, and I had nothing to do with
his election.
I was simply stating that Clinton's unrepentant
lying and moral depravity is nothing like Bush's
error, for which he paid his debt to society, and
has now abstained from alcohol for 14 years.
Why don't you pull your head out of your ass
before talking again. You might swallow a lot
less shit.
Great. Taking a pistol and murdering my neighbor
is also a choice. Does that make it right?
Of course not.
And don't think, not even for a moment, that I'd
hesitate to gun you down in the street, should
you choose to engage in armed insurrection. Not
even for a moment. Murderer.
My science fair project was a stochastic simulation of the lunchline to determine whether or not a new system (or an additional lunch period) was necessary, given the projected school population increase.
My results proved to be correct, but they were ignored, and I got a B on the project (my physics teacher had no idea what I was doing, and she was the one grading me). I still had a lot of fun, though.

FWIW, IBM hired (through acquisition of Whistle) whole boatload of BSDies. And you won't find a lot of BSDies complaining, because Whistle has contributed a lot back to the community, and IBM (through Whistle) is, in fact, doing exactly the types of things the BSDL is supposed to allow. If BSDies actually wanted a restrictive license like the GPL, they'd use it.
Hey dumbass, those bloodstained hands are the reason you can bitch about anything you want on a giant public network (and I'm talking about folks outside the States, as well).
I'd bet you'd hand over your mother to avoid being 'AK-47 fodder'.
You'd think that, but when I went, nearly half of the people in the theater were children.
Personally, I don't know why people have a problem with this page. It doesn't call for a banning of the movie. It just suggests to parents that they shouldn't take their kids to see the movie (and they shouldn't).
My (anti-Christian) coworkers showed this to me a week ago, and they laughed. But I pointed out to them what the review was (a review with a Christian standpoint), and it tells parents that children shouldn't be watching it.
There are some Christians who use the faith and the word as a bat to enforce their morality, this is no less a sin than a lie. I don't believe this man is guilty (As to whether he is or not is for God alone to decide).
It's not that AIX is unstable, or performs badly, it's that the ODM and the commands to manipulate it are a pain in the ass. When I want to do the same thing on all nodes of an SP, I don't want to have to use SMIT on every last one of them.

The Pope and his lieutenants do not.
That should read "The Pope and his lieutenants do not have universal regard among Christians.".
Bad on me for not proofreading

The difference being this:
1. Catholics do not hold up their priests as prophets.
2. Most Christians in the United States are not Catholic, and do not recognize the sovoreignity of the Papacy.

Right. Their "frustration" is that we all won't be good little subjugates and convert to worshipping their false moon god in the clothing of the Lord.

I think the "teh" is intended to add emphasis, though they overuse the word. Everything else is raw ignorance, though.
... and English illiterate.
They could at least pass it through a spell checker, or something, first. I'd be ashamed to have my name in that cookbook.

Bush hasn't lied about it under oath.

Transit time in California is bad because you have to go far.
Transit time in DC is bad because the traffic FSCKING SUCKS!!!

This is nothing new. I saw an "internet booth" in a truckstop in Spartanburg, SC, for 25 cents/min., in January of this year.
Hee hee. Firecrackers, internet porn, and a Wendy's in one convenient location.
Jerry Falwell doesn't speak for Christianity, nor does he speak for me.
Don't reject salvation because of the inane rants of the wolf in sheeps clothing.

Once you get past that, though, it's just fine.
