ISIS also believe in one god.. They love people..As you say
Just because someone claims to "believe in God" does not mean he truly believes in God. The bible says, '...by their fruits you shall know them.'Those who truly believe in God will TRULY love His creation. Which is why statistically speaking... Atheists are better people than christians... Look at any comparable statistic, and you will see the truth... don't take my word for it, do your own research I will provide an example... prison populations in USA:   Protestants are 46.5% of the general population, and 35% of the prison population... indicating they are less likely to commit crimes than the average person Catholics are 21% of the general population, but 39% of the prison population... showing they are twice as likely to commit crimes than the average person Muslims are 1% of the general population, yet 7% of the prison population!... They are 7x as likely to be criminals! Mormons are 1.6% of the general population, and only 0.4% of the prison population... indicating they are 1/4th as likely to be criminals Atheists are 3% of the general population, but only 0.2% of the prison population... showing atheists are 1/15th as likely to be a criminal compared to the average person... (all this implies getting caught and going to jail, not "committing crimes", but we don't have statistics on people who didn't get arrested) Statistically speaking... Muslims are 120 times more likely to be criminals than Atheists Catholics are 28 times more likely to be criminals than Atheists Protestants are 11 times more likely to be criminals than Atheists Even Mormons are 3.7 times more likely to be criminals than Atheists! (Mormons are quite good compared to anyone other than Atheists) And there you have it... Atheists are the good guys... "by their fruits shall you know them" |

For security the source code will be held back from the public for approximately one year.
As if... if it was up to date with bitcoin... there would be nothing to worry about security wise... They must not be using any of bitcoins code. The bitcoin license says that anyone using the bitcoin code must have the code open source. I guarantee they are using bitcoin source code illegally Would Jim Blasko care to respond? |

Gods were created by people to explain nature... before science was invented...
Thunder & Lightning, Earthquakes, Tornadoes & Hurricanes, Floods, Drought, Volcanoes, Solar/Lunar Eclipse, Diseases & Pestilence, Locusts, etc, etc, etc...
We still refer to these today as, "acts of God" (though we know better)
God was created to "fill the gaps of knowledge"... anything unknown was the work of a god...
To me, "God" == "Fuck if I know"
"God did it" = "Fuck if I know who did it"

Honestly, I love America but america is fucking stupid is what it really comes down to. The country falls in love with words like Capitalism and acts like any other kind of ism is cheating lol
When our forefathers founded this country they made the rules to be efficient and to encourage individual progress , they weren't written by god and you need to have faith in them they were written by educated people trying to make a country that works. Our country no longer works because we no longer make our rules based on this premise, we are scared of change and we will fall behind because of this.
It's been happening for a long time The religion thing happened because of all the wars... when loved ones get themselves killed, people turn to religion Religious fanaticism got so popular during the 50's, they changed the national motto from E. Pluribus Unum, to In sky-god we trust Printing "In god we trust" on the money is a particular oxymoron... the bible says, "The love of money is the root of all evil" |

Unfortunately... here in 'Murica, anti-socialism is preached in the textbooks in school
Every 'Murican gets told dozens of times by dozens of teachers that Communism is of the devil, and Socialism is Communism
That's pretty much it though... that's all they say... we need to hate those evil Commie bastards...
But, nobody ever explains why... it's all a bunch of "Socialism never works", etc... but there is never any evidence to back up such a statement
It boils down to competition with Russia and China... you gotta hate the competition/enemy and slander them with propaganda, right?
It's basically the definition of bigotry being preached in the public school system for 50 years
as a matter of fact the evidence even points to the contrary, if you look at European countries. Russia's problems do not come from the fact that they have socialized institutions they come from the fact that greedy dictators control those institutions, same with China. Its easy to blame a system, its like having a war on terror. Terror is a feeling, you cant have a war wit ha feeling just like an economic system cant be at fault for the corruption. Its rather the opposite that the corruption is at fault for ruining the system Yes, it's basically a conspiracy (though I hate using that word) The "wealthy elites" that control the country do not want Socialism, because it would tax THEM more... they love Capitalism, where they write the laws and decide their own tax rate Which is why they tell us to hate Socialism... they make it sound evil, and nothing worth investigating, so people don't even bother to research it Bernie Sanders threw a wrench into their mind-control scheme by running for president as a Socialist... he brought Socialism attention in the USA, and had the support of nearly half the country Which is why the elites conspired against him... as expected and evidenced by their actions long before the DNC email leak proved it |

What is the point of this silly currency anyway? Anyone wanting to use a bitcoin currency would just use bitcoin... I need bitcoin to buy VOX anyway... I'm not going to buy BTC, then use that to buy VOX for some game... and neither is the general public... Any reputable game would accept BTC, not VOX (perhaps both, but not just VOX, that would be suicide) Does VOX have any unique features that bitcoin does not have? (spoiler: no) Jim Blasko is the "lead dev", and he doesn't even know how to code... look at his github for UNB, and other coins he tried playing with... the only commits from him are editing a README file! https://github.com/jimblaskoThis joker is not a coder, he does not know how... yet he is the dev of this coin? WTF?!? I guarantee you he is not capable of even updating the code with bugfixes & features from bitcoin core... he could not even merge changes if he wanted to (the real reason he isn't going to release the source code) For security the source code will be held back from the public for approximately one year.

I hate religion because 34 of the 50 states (68%) allow child abuse based upon religious beliefs! Your child can have cancer, and instead of seeking medical treatment, you pray... and the kid dies of cancer... You don't go to jail for child abuse/neglect/endangerment... that's bullshit! Not only is it child abuse... the law is religious in nature... atheists are not protected by these laws, only christians... it is a religious law, pure and simple... the law gives extra rights and privileges only to religious people... this is not supposed to happen in 'Murica... where is the separation of church and state?  |

Because you have been lied to for years... everyone has been lied to by the establishment...
Socialism is a good thing... it is the balance for Capitalism
Capitalism means letting the rich run the country and write all the laws to benefit themselves...
You don't want pure Capitalism... it's basically anarchy where the rich run everything... an Oligarchy of corporations
You do not want an Oligarchy where corporations write the laws (which is currently how America works)... this is bad news... a disaster in the making
One example... Martin Shkreli:
Capitalist greed let him raise the price of HIV meds from $13 to $750/pill... this could not happen with socialist healthcare... there is no profit, or greed...
But, as I said... you have been lied to... you think Capitalism is a good thing, when it is self-destructive... nobody ever told you the truth... you have to do your own research
Capitalism = rich people win (get a job and work for some rich asshole, so he gets richer while you get poorer)
Socialism = everyone is equal (in theory)
You don't know the difference between capitalism and corporatism. Don't feel bad, it's a common error. Troll much? America is the best example we have of "Capitalism"... Capitalism inevitably leads to this situation... it is inevitable Capitalism is based upon greed... the profit motive... capitalism is corporatism... there is no difference You can label things however you want, but I am talking about the situation in America, as I assume everyone is... America is also heavily Socialist... We have the fire department, police department, etc... you don't have to pay the fireman up-front to spray water on your burning house... right? America has "social security", which is a pure socialist policy (and the most popular policy in American history) America is a mixed-bag of many things Part of the problem is the media... you have asshats like Bill O'Reily saying shit like, "Socialist Bernie wants to raise your taxes"... which is not true at all... he wants to raise BILL O'REILY'S taxes!... raising taxes on people making over $1,000,000/year is not "your taxes"... but people don't bother to research, they just assume Bill isn't lying to their face (spoiler: he is) The tax situation in America is because of the rich Oligarchy... rich people pay 5-10% in taxes, and middle-class pays 30-40%+ in taxes (that's more than triple, but who is counting?)... that's Capitalism in a nutshell... rich get richer, poor get taxed to fuck |

The question is, why would anyone lean towards the idea that the earth was much older than 6,000 years? If it is because of what science and the media say, the scientists tell us themselves in their papers that they are not sure. It is the media and the universities that have made up the whole idea of millions or billions of years.
The evidence suggests the Earth is much older than 6,000 years... that's why... it's not someones opinion, it's based on facts and evidence On the subject of certainty... you claim to know for certain the Earth is 6,000 years old, based on no evidence at all... Scientists rarely claim certainty of anything... Scientists present the evidence, and their opinion on what the evidence suggests... and all the evidence suggests an Earth that is billions of years old, not thousands... the evidence for such is overwhelming... you have to intentionally blind yourself from the facts to believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old... period... end of debate The person who claims to be certain, is certainly a liar *cough* BADlogic *cough* Okay, so somebody has interpreted something he/she calls evidence... NO, no... they present the evidence... and it is not "something he calls evidence"... Evidence has a definition... some things count as evidence, like physical evidence... the changing of bone structure through time is a good example... you can clearly see hundreds of thousands of years of human history just by studying skulls and bones of ancient humans and primates... this is evidence which can be shown to anyone (this is one of thousands of examples of acceptable scientific evidence) You have nothing that qualifies as evidence to support your (wrong) opinion of the Earth being 6,000 years old... nothing Testimony, no matter how long ago it was written, is not scientific evidence... we know people lie, and have lied for thousands of years... people make up stories... it is not factual scientific evidence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_evidence |

http://www.thejewishweek.com/editorial-opinion/sabbath-week/was-creation-really-seven-daysThe Bible is not interested in conveying literal and chronological facts in its story of Creation. After all, the sun and the moon were not created until the fourth day, and it is specifically their movements which are the determinants for our 24-hour day. Beyond any doubt, then, “yom” (day) in the context of the seven days of Creation cannot mean a literal 24-hour day.
...
Maimonides, in his “Guide for the Perplexed,” interprets all biblical stories until the advent of Abraham as allegories, whose purpose is to convey moral lessons
...
And this certainly leaves the door open to maintain that “One thousand (or one million) years in Your eyes is like one day” [Psalms 90:4]. Each biblical day in the Creation story may well represent an epoch of thousands or millions or years.
I always liked how God created light on the first day, and the sun and stars (which make the light, and the 24-hr day) on day 4... That's quite a magic trick! I also like how God created the plants on day 3, but the sun on day 4... poor staving plants... God hates figs! (Also read Matthew 21:19... Jesus curses a fig tree) If I were God... I'd probably create the sun, stars and light all at the same time... and then I'd create plants afterwards... but that's just me... perhaps I'm smarter than God... perhaps a 5th grader could tell you that you can't create light before stars... or plants before the sun |

While I understand Christians claim to be monotheistic, their bible does not quite agree 100%... (not that any of them read their bible) Not counting the trinity... 3 gods in 1... there are other passages, such as: God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. If there is a congregation of gods... that implies "God" is not the only god... right? For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods Christians only worship 1 god... well 3 gods in 1... but, their bible claims that other gods exist as well Even the first commandment, "Do not worship other gods before me", implies there are other gods |

I somewhat disagree with the assumption that polytheism doesn't have a dark underbelly as well...
While being indoctrinated into Christianity as a child, I was taught that Rome was very unfriendly to Christians before the conversion ~330AD... the Romans were polytheistic and would supposedly murder Christians on the street, or make them fight gladiators, etc...
The Vikings were polytheistic (Norse)... enough said?
I can't say I have any particular examples of Hindu's murdering other religions, but that could be an exception, not the rule...
I normally say that all theistic religions are evil... this has little to do with their god or gods that they believe in, and more to do with the actions of their followers, which are typically inspired by "holy texts"
Part of the problem lies with "holy texts" which people deem infallible throughout history... both the Christian and Muslim texts say rather awful things, which were common at the time they were written (slavery, homophobia, religious intolerance, etc), but are not allowed today... the texts have failed to keep pace with the changing times

Dont you People think that in Todays World Politics is based on Basically Terriosm Please tell me your opinion on this really Appreciate it
I believe the word you are looking for is, "Terrorism" Terrorism is, in its broadest sense, the use or threatened use of violence (terror) in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim. It is classified as fourth-generation warfare and as a violent crime. In modern times, terrorism is considered a major threat to society and therefore illegal under anti-terrorism laws in most jurisdictions. It is also considered a war crime under the laws of war when used to target non-combatants, such as civilians, neutral military personnel, or enemy prisoners of war Yes and no... America seems to do more terrorism with its drone strikes than ISIS, but it rarely gets mentioned that 90% of drone strike deaths are civilians... .... Well, would you prefer the prior standard, the 500 pound bomb? It was about a million times less precise. It happens that either in the case of the drone missile or the 500 pound ordinance, both are targeted at military targets. By contrast it is the terrorist who specifically targets non military civilians. If they are only targeting military personnel, and have a 90% civilian casualty rate... they fucking suck... The obvious answer is they are targeting civilians and whoever the fuck they want... including American citizens in those countries Oops... our drone accidentally took out another school and another hospital... our bad... promise it wont happen again (bazinga) |
