    Chinese gov't trying to poison the Dalai Lama

    I highly doubt this. If the Chinese wanted to kill the Dalai Lama, they would have done so 50 years ago before he fled to India. Heck, the old man is almost 80 and they'd be better off waiting until he died from old age, instead of risking an international incident. Funny thing for a...

    No Valuables In Checked Luggage Please

    You mean a thieving spree? Shopping would imply that they are paying for those items.

    Smaller (and often newer) Asian religions

    As far as I'm aware, Legalism and Mohism aren't religions, but rather, philosophies, and are separate schools of thought from Confucianism. They all evolved at the same time as Confucianism, but never developed into full-fledged religions.

    Why is booze called spirits ?

    I always figured that it was called that because it put you in "high spirits" if you had just the right amount.

    Quran’s Resurrection Day and Bible’s second coming

    In Christianity the Day of Judgement and the Second Coming are considered two separate events. The Day of Judgement refers to the final and eternal judgement of all people by God, and takes place after the Resurrection of the Dead and the Second Coming of Christ. Is it the same in Islam?

    What if it were limited so you could only give one negative frubal every 24 hours or something?

    Becoming Jewish

    Good for you. I hear it's not easy to convert to Judaism.

    studying anti-semitism on campus

    I don't agree with this. There are just as many professors overall who are pro-Israel as there are supposedly "against" Israel. Then again, most people are not really against Israel existing, but some of the things Israel does. But in most settings, this is enough to be considered a...

    Your Favorite Jesus Movie

    I liked the Passion of the Christ. It brings out the true magnitude of Jesus' suffering during the last hours of his life. I felt that it was rather faithful to the Gospels as well.

    Why Israel belongs to the Jews

    I would say that sometimes, the attitudes of some Zionists (both Jews and Christian) are more detrimental to Israel than anything else combined. There would probably be more people, even Arabs, who wouldn't mind having an Israel around, if it weren't for such fanatical supporters. I am not...

    Why Israel belongs to the Jews

    Well, on paper it is, anyways. And so is the United States. I believe that in practice, although neither state can be called a theocracy, things are much more complicated.

    Thank You, President Obama

    I have to agree with you on this. I think the birthers or whatever they're called discredit legitimate criticisms against Obama. There should be legitimate critiques of Obama's policies, but trying to prove that he's not a real U.S. citizen is a waste of effort, in my opinion.
