I've never heard of this story before, but I'm pretty sure it's not the main reason why so many people are against Islam...I think the reason tat Islam gets a lot of haters is because many non Muslims can't separate Islamic extremism from mainstream Islam.
Oh, wow, I really had no idea. Bware is the username I have used for years across various websites since my name is Bill Warner. Sorry for the mistake.
I'm not talking about state side, I'm talking about a combat environment. And when deployed and in "tent city" when not out on patrol, men and women ARE kept apart, they do not share the same the tents/showers/bathrooms. It would be a completly different dynamic if men and women were allowed to...
You would make a good lawyer turk. He's right though. Even though there is nothing in the UCMJ about sexual relationships. However you and I both know that men and women are generally kept apart when deployed for this reason. Commanders do not want the men falling in love when they are there...
Actually it's just as big as an issue fixing planes. I am an ex aircraft mechanic, when a female maintainer got pregnant they would send her to sit and do paperwork and such for nine months. The tools and parts are waaaay to heavy for a pregnant woman to be lifting and the small confined spaces...
Hence the reasons that don't ask don't tell was created in the first place. It was to avoid problems like this and to protect the gay members. Let's face it, there are a lot of homophobic members in the military, it's wrong, but I guarantee you that the gay members will be treated poorly by...
Hey guys, I'm back after more than a year. I have been so busy the last year what with a new baby, new job, new home that I just haven't had time to focus on debates. I'm sure there are a few here who remember me and my arguments with Sandy. Is she still around?
Anyway you guys will be seeing...
I think there is definitely a need for proper translation, it still won't change the bible being more of a historical text in my eyes, but it's important none the less. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the King James Version is regarded as the most accurate translation currently. Well even...
Okay I'm wondering if know you or not? My name is Bill and my Last name starts with a W as well. I have directed a few people to his forum, just curious as to who you might be?
Welcom to the forums! I have been gone for a while, I came back and I have seen several of your posts, and it seems that we share similar views on many things. I look forward to seeing what you have to say about things in the future!
Because in some major religions, many people believe that to speak anything outside of said religion's beliefs is committing blasphemy. It was stated earlier in this thread:
That's where the catch is with this stupid law, technically if it is illegal to blaspheme against a religion and said...
Then why (I'm paraphrasing from memory here) when Jesus is suffering on the cross, he says something to the effect of "Father why hath you forsaken me?" Which to me implys that he is talking to his father (God) and asking why his father (God) abondoned him? Was he delusional and talking to...
Let me rephrase that for you Sandy: "Second being, IN MY OPINION "in His image" just doesn't mean what you think it means. I THINK you are wrong Bware, but I can find no evidence to prove it so I will flood you with circular logic, like I always do.
