An eye opener:

The group’s killing of Westerners gets attention. But ISIS has killed far more Muslims, and publicizing that fact would harm it more.
Last Thursday, the United Nations released a report that could provide us with one of the keys to defeating ISIS. Unfortunately, it received almost zero media attention.

What makes this 26-page report (PDF) so powerful is that it describes to us the gruesome circumstances in which ISIS has killed fellow Muslims. We are talking beheadings, killing of women for objecting to ISIS’ policies, and executing Sunni Muslim clerics for refusing to swear allegiance to ISIS.

@bold: Why do you sound like one of the ISIS members? Why should I be happy or sad about my life. Aren't you alive too?

So you think that they don't do it intentionally? LOL!

They send terrorists to other countries and tell them to kill all the people who are walking on the road, travelling in trains. Dn't they think that even Muslims might be travelling in the trains? That's not intentional?

Seriously what has religion got to do with children get beaten by their parents? My grandmother was never beaten up by her atheist parents. My mother was also born to theists but she was never beaten up by them nor was I beaten up by my parents for no reason. When I started playing mischief in school, my mom used to scold me and punish me but that's the parent's right. If they think that their scolding can improve their child, they have a right to punish them before they go on a wrong path.



I really pity you. If you think that all those who believe in God are bad nobody can help you.
 

And others who say evil means religion. I have already mentioned about a person who was an atheist and killed a person for dropping his paint bottle. that might be not considered as evil?

Evil = Religion. Then I hope the atheists who believe in this don't work in offices of theists or have them as neighbors. Why to work or live with evil people.

OK but in this case Badbear may not be removed from the default trust list so here the other negative ratings don't make sense.


Yeah true. Only Badbear can find a connection with the IP addresses and not the others who have left him negative just based on Badbear's trusted feedback as they have no evidence to present here. To me it just appears as trust abuse.

I don't have green energy at my home but my mom's friend was working on a project to generate electricity from sunlight. It's quite expensive though and many have not showed trust in green energy.

At last something positive to hear about the ISIS. It's good that they captured the wife and now the commandos can interrogate her to get more information. Other leaders might take one step behind due to this.

OP received a valid negative feedback from Badbear which is the only feedback anyone should consider bearing in mind that Badbear is the admin. Rest those who left negative feedback don't have any proof/evidence and hence their feedback doesn't make sense.

I don't get if one has already received a negative feedback from the admin or a default trust member, why do other members too join the league? Does it improve or make his trust rating more valuable or trustworthy? I don't think so and find it weird ways of entering the default trust system.

Oh OK. I got the message I sent myself today "You have just been sent a personal message by erikalui on Bitcoin Forum." I already save the messages in my outbox so it's not that useful for me and most probably it's a bug.

I don't know if this issue has been discussed before but today by mistake I sent myself a PM as I quoted a reply from my outbox. I received a notification that I received a pm from "erikalui". I should be getting an error instead that you cannot PM yourself but why is there no error message? I just realized that I can also leave feedback for myself and report myself.

Can't these options for disabled for a user?

I have seen few members who have uploaded their real profile pics but I am not sure if it was in this forum. Nobody is stopped from uploading their real picture and it's their wish if they or they don't.

Also, in the case of FB and Twitter, we mostly connect with users whom we know personally which is not the case on the forum.

Yes. It's a coupon code from gaana.

I have $8.3 in my Skrill account. If you want a 1:1 exchange, let me know.

Then why do they kill people of their own religion? They don't consider them worth enough to exist in this world? Terrorists also kill people who belong to their own religion and call it their religious beliefs and some people who dislike the religion believe in it.

How much can you offer for $4.21 Skrill?

To simply believe something is what theists also believe in. Like some said here, the term religion is grilled in the head of theists and hence they believe in it and same goes for atheists.

I truly agree with @the joint. Atheists believe in science while scientists too make assumptions and their beliefs aren't completely right.

An example: There are natural causes for things that happen in the world around us. For example, if a ball falls to the ground, science assumes that there must be a natural explanation for why the ball moves downward once released. Right now, scientists can describe gravity in great detail, but exactly what gravity is remains elusive. Still, science assumes that there is an explanation for gravity that relies on natural causes, just as there is for everything in nature.

There are many events that happen in life but they have no scientific evidence and hence people don't believe in it.


An excellent argument of science and the beliefs of atheism:


Atheists commonly reject the design argument for God’s existence because of the problem of evil, arguing that a world marred by death, disease, cruelty and suffering cannot be the creation of an infinitely good and powerful Being. This objection, however, though emotionally powerful, is not a logical one because the reality of evil does not cancel out the extensive evidence of intelligent and benevolent design in Nature. To use two analogies: the existence of badly constructed buildings in one particular area does not disprove the existence of competent architects elsewhere, anymore than the existence of hatred within some families disproves the reality of human love in others. What the problem of evil does is to raise challenging questions such as: why does God allow it? What is its origin? What, if anything, has God done about it? It does not obliterate the many traces of His goodness and creativity in the world around us. Furthermore, part of the evidence for God’s existence and goodness is that very moral standard which enables us to detect evil and complain about it! Atheism, by contrast, cannot make sense of the problem of evil because it cannot explain how we can attach any objective significance to our thoughts and values if we are merely accidental by-products of an ultimately random and purposeless universe.


Atheism is not only challenged by the cumulative evidence for intelligent design uncovered by the progress of science; it cannot even answer the most fundamental of all questions: why does anything exist in the first place? Is the universe self-sufficient and self-explanatory or does it require an intelligent cause?

LOL! This is what is the definition of atheism: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods. Older dictionaries define atheism as "a belief that there is no God."

LOL! I guess they might consider their parents as their God. "Oh mum!" "Oh dad"  


I believe in Adam and Eve but I am not talking about the superpowers like since God is unhappy with the world, he causes an earthquake, tsunami and so on.

I believe that he is the creator of humans though. I would like to know what atheists believe about Adam and Eve. Don't they believe that there was first one man and woman created on this earth? How were they created according to science?

I'm a woman and not married. I will turn to my mother as I see God in her as well.

God is the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority. For me this is the definition but I don't believe he has super powers because I haven't seen them nor do I believe in miracles.

I do believe that this earth also is a form of God, rain is a form of God, and the food I eat also is a form of God. I live on this earth, I get water from the rain, I am alive because of the food I eat. They keep me alive and for me, even my books are a form of God as I gain knowledge from them. God doesn't have a face or shape but he is in my heart.

Call my crazy or anything but I believe in God and not his super powers or magical powers.

I don't believe that my God has any kind of super power but I consider him as a spirit who helps me when I feel low.  I don't believe in miracles
