https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIxeywo8DP4Buddhism is a popular form of demon worship also known as witchcraft. It is a sin. 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.Deuteronomy 18:10-13King James Version (KJV) Then do your Christian duty and murder the witch! (joke, please do not kill anyone) Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them. |

Bahaha... that's stupid... What good would it do Obama? Obama hasn't even bothered to name anyone yet because he knows congress will not confirm the nomination... That makes the nomination available for the next president, whoever that may be (and a 10+ month vacancy in the supreme court) It appears that the Senate is currently in recess, and he has about seven days to ram through a recess appointment. For that, no confirmation is required. Interesting... I didn't expect to learn anything new here Looks like a recess appointment still needs to be confirmed by the end of the year for it to stick... so it would only be temporary |

Iīm not saying that people shouldnīt hate or loath despicable behavior, itīs just that I personally canīt hate people that I donīt know and have never met. Itīs my perception of this hate concept. I think people that start aggressive wars on false pretenses and are guilty of mass murder and war crimes should be hanged or at the very least incarcerated indefinitely. But I donīt hate them.
Some of the hate is about silencing the opposition... A couple recent examples, Saddam Hussein... Osama bin Laden... If you can get America to hate them, nobody cares that they were executed without a trial... (hint: they didn't want anyone to hear what these men had to say) I suppose you could say Saddam got a trial, but I've seen it... it's a sham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCJ8JqtGahQHe knew it was a sham too... he doesn't even refer to himself in the first person... I imagine some Muslim-Americans are feeling the hate right now... |

You might also be surprised that ~40% of the homeless teenagers in America are LGBT... children kicked out of their homes for being gay, or being atheist... I've heard some are 12 or younger...
this is pathetic to hear. kicking kids for being gay or atheist is absurd .i thought people from a country like US and A are more liberal in their thoughts,if thats the case what difference does it make to live in Islamic countries ,oh yeah they would kill them right for being gay. The bible does contain the occasional nugget of wisdom, but this by no means justifies the slavery, homophobia, genocide, et al Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye |

If there is a proof PM me..I want to buy 0.01btc  The proof for the existence of God is shown by combining the 3 scientific laws, cause and effect, complex universe, and universal entropy. You might have to think about it to understand it, but it is free to anyone who takes the time to understand.  BADecker must be the most persistent and definitely the most polite god ranter Iīve encountered so far on the internet. A DICK He enjoys little kids getting beat for not believing in god Really? I find that hard to believe. On the other hand I donīt know the guy at all, itīs just impressions on message boards here. Anyway, itīs impolite to discuss in the third person someone who is present and I apologize for that. Assuming he's a fundamentalist: If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother ... all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. Nothing gets me in the mood for murdering children like that King James Version... You might also be surprised that ~40% of the homeless teenagers in America are LGBT... children kicked out of their homes for being gay, or being atheist... I've heard some are 12 or younger... |

if we can understand what is islam mean we will see islam is a religion of peace.
Yes, Islam is basically a religion of peace but some extremists whose needs are not meant either politically or religiously resort to extreme measures, this is the minority of people I am talking about not all the people of Islam followers. Sorry, but which part of "Submit or die" you don't understand. Islam means "submit to Allah". Jihad is the missionary: "or die" part. To be fair, Christians have the same sort of murderous commands from God in the bible too... Christians also claim to be a religion of peace... Just ignore that 300+ years of dark ages, crusades, inquisition, witch hunts, et al |

The problem I have with these guys is they are not stupid... They are under no illusion that religion is real... they are con artists, plain and simple If they were not preachers, they would be in prison... The saddest part is that some people die from the "healing" these Christian preachers provide. See around 57+ min mark on that video for examples. Robert Tilton was pulling 80M+/yr in his hay days, tax free. Sickening... If I were a greedy sociopath, I'd be a Televangelist too... easy money, no chance of going to prison for being a con artist... You only work 2 hours each week... telling people what to think and collecting millions of dollars... while they practically worship you as a god... who wouldn't want that? I wouldn't lose a night's sleep over the people I killed... because, I'm now a filthy rich sociopath with tons of adoring fans, and plenty of time on my hands... |

Also, are there any buddhist here by any chance? to give out some more info first hand about practising it. :p I'm no expert, but... I'd recommend starting with some basic info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BuddhismThen perhaps moving on to some of the texts of Buddhism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Te_ChingI like the Tao Te Ching myself... definitely better than the bible http://www.taoism.net/ttc/complete.htmHolding a cup and overfilling it
Cannot be as good as stopping short
Pounding a blade and sharpening it
Cannot be kept for long
Gold and jade fill up the room
No one is able to protect them
Wealth and position bring arrogance
And leave disasters upon oneself Much better than "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live"... or, "...the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda..." (the bible has some super boring sections) |

Don't be silly, Bernie already won... lol
#FeelTheBern
But, please do some research on the man and his policies before you make an uniformed judgement...
Socialism is not Communism, and Bernie is a Socialist-leaning Democrat... like FDR, one of our most beloved presidents...
To be honest, most Democrats have very Socialist policies... they just refuse to use the label because the word Socialist has been denigrated in the American education system

Hate is an emotion and atheists hate because they are unable to control their emotions  uhhhh no. Don't generalize people like that, it's stupid. I control my emotions quite well. I've never started a fight, never yell or any other outburst of negative emotions, so your statement is false. Also, as much as I've seen in my life, religious people tend to outburst just like that when you mention something about their religion. That reminds me, I've had a pass time game where I'd go to some muslim website with live support and I'd try to annoy them, troll them if you will, until they start writing incorrect grammar and in all caps. Once I've did it in one "word", if you will, and it was"9/11?". He disconnected immediately. That is what people do when they are backed into a corner... When people have no evidence for what they believe, and you challenge them on their unfounded beliefs... they get angry and blow up a building... (hopefully we don't read about BADecker in the news) |

Topics like "why do atheists hate christians","why do atheists hate religious people", etc.. should stop. I mean, I don't know about the rest of you but topics like these are stupid regarding the religious hate, and people who are seriously starting these, no one really "hates" anyone just because of their religion. I mean, that's my opinion and view on it nad seriously hating someone because of his religion is stupid. There are a lot of muslim guys that I know that are completely ok and some orthodox christians that are on the edge of grabbing a sword and running around killing people. So please, stop with that shitposting.
Bullshit. Question of "why hate" is very basic. Although an atheist, let me remind you that Jesus said "Don't hate." Asking about the meaning, or lack of, of hate is meaning itself. It's a shame the Jesus character contradicts that God guy... who commands you to hate throughout the entire old testament... hate witches, hate gays, hate anyone of a different religion, hate anyone who cuts their sideburns, or eats a bacon cheeseburger ( double whammy... ask any Jew), or wears clothing made from a mix of cotton and wool... serious crimes there man... If it wasn't so funny and silly... It would be sad that 1/3 of the planet believes this crap... no, wait... it's quite sad indeed |

Nope, all lightbulbs are long burned out and there is a half inch of dust that's accumulated on the surface. The power of belief is just incredible. It shuts off all rational thought processes and one's brain becomes steak tartar. I tend to love this stuff too but I only admit it online under the cloak of pseudo-anonymity. It's like masturbating in the bathroom. But I don't do that, I was talking about other people.
I've been trying to come up with a reply for this, but all I can think of is... hahahahahaha |

Much like the flu... children and the elderly are particularly susceptible to religion Children are indoctrinated by their parents, who they trust 100% to tell them the truth (for some strange reason) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoctrination#ReligiousIndoctrination is the process of forcibly inculcating ideas, attitudes, cognitive strategies or a professional methodology (see doctrine) by coercion The elderly are near death, and grasp at any religion which promises of an afterlife |

I'm a Christian and I've got an uncle who is a buddhist I found him always offering some foods the altar of his buddha. But I respect him as what he is doing and he is also respecting my faith. But on my own opinion regarding the topic, Buddha lived like us as a person so we all know that no man must worship a person. No debate here guys just my opinion.
As far as I am aware, Buddhists do not worship Buddha... They might hold him in high regard as a source of wisdom, similar to a Catholic saint, or how a mathematician might hold Pythagorus in high esteem... But, that is a far cry from worshipping the man Then again, everyone is different, so there is likely a small portion who do worship Buddha |

Meditation has been shown to have several health benefits http://liveanddare.com/benefits-of-meditation/http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/features/meditation-heals-body-and-mindIt isn't going to cure your cancer, but neither is prayer... And, while I wouldn't recommend it... I have the utmost respect for anyone willing to light themself on fire in protest of war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thích_Quảng_ĐứcQuảng Đức's last words before his self-immolation were documented in a letter he had left:
Before closing my eyes and moving towards the vision of the Buddha, I respectfully plead to President Ngô Đėnh Diệm to take a mind of compassion towards the people of the nation and implement religious equality to maintain the strength of the homeland eternally. I call the venerables, reverends, members of the sangha and the lay Buddhists to organize in solidarity to make sacrifices to protect Buddhism |
