Today when I thought I would get soaked walking home from the grocery store but I saw a rainbow instead.
Or perhaps it was the day I stretched a single into a double after making a perfect head first dive for 2nd base.
Or maybe it was the day I made a beautiful young lady in algebra class laugh at my dumb joke.

At Yahoo Answers I answered this question: "Does evolution debunk the entire concept of Christianity?"
"Does evolution debunk the entire concept of Christianity?"
YES for the following reasons:
1. Evolution is the strongest fact of science therefore magical creationism is just a ridiculous myth. The Magic Jeebus Man was a creationist, therefore he was an uneducated moron. Christians worship a dead idiot.
2. Evolution shows that human apes are not a big freaking deal. We are just animals. So there is no reason to pretend only our species magically flies to a magical paradise after dropping dead. Obviously evolution kills the magical heaven fantasy which is the only reason cowardly Christians waste their time in a church.
3. Thanks to evolution we now know the god fairy's magic wand was not required for something as complex as the development of new species so there is no reason pretend the fairy's magical powers were ever necessary for anything else. A god fairy who never had anything to do is a fairy who does not exist.
4. Most Christians are evolution deniers, aka uneducated morons. They think evolution kills their ridiculous death cult. They got that right. Evolution most certainly does kill Christianity. Good riddance.

Stock market investing. Ignore the professional idiots.
After much research I buy only the best Dividend Aristocrats and reinvest all dividends. My goal is to hold for life, never touching the principle, never worrying about market crashes, and have an income that will grow forever even after I retire. I keep it simple and boring, and I ignore virtually all advice from people who call themselves chief investment officers.

At a website infested with liberals I wrote why I'm voting for Trump. The reason is Trump is the only candidate for president who wants to stop letting Muslim scum enter this country.
I know Trump gets things wrong. I don't agree with him about some things, for example the ugly wall by the very scenic Rio Grande River. But I'm still voting for him. I am not a science denier by the way. For example I totally accept the massive evidence for evolution. I know many Trump fans want to throw out scientific facts. I know many of them are uneducated morons.
Why am I voting for Trump? It's because of my extreme contempt for Muslims. A large percent of these people treat women like farm animals. And of course there are the other problems, for example the never ending atrocities.
If we let Muslims come here, eventually the wrong people will get in, and the children or grandchildren of the moderate Muslims could become terrorists after reading the Quran which is full of love for violence. Also there's nothing moderate about belonging to the world's largest terrorist organization which is what Islam is. If these people had any sense of decency they would throw their disgusting cult in the garbage where it belongs. I'm atheist by the way and I think the god-soaked, no matter what cowardly cult they belong to, are insane. But most cults are not infested with countless thousands of terrorist lunatics. Only Islam has this problem. Only Trump has enough common sense to throw out political correctness and tell the truth about these people. We should not let them in. Trump wants this to be temporary. I disagree. We owe these people nothing. I want a permanent ban, until the end of time, or until these people grow up and throw out the stupidity.
Should we suck up to Muslims so they don't kill us? No because that hasn't been working. If you were not allowed to enter another country would you become a terrorist? Of course not. Only Islam has this problem.
Trump will win the nomination and he will win the election. Get used to it.

The other ape species are very intelligent creatures.
Several years ago I was at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo standing next to a huge gorilla who was sitting on a stool. I turned my head to talk to my friends. When I was about to look at the gorilla he threw his entire weight at me. Completely forgetting the thick glass between us I was terrified. Then he smashed into the glass. He planned the whole thing. Best practical joke ever. Perfect timing. It was obvious he was laughing at me. Because of the glass I did not know if this was silent laughing but he was definitely laughing. I learned that day gorillas are very intelligent creatures which makes sense because we share an ancestor with them.

I wrote a comment at The Case of Eric Metaxas or "Evolutionary Theory as Bug Zapper."
http://scienceandcreation.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-case-of-eric-metaxas-or.html
"But here's the problem: We don't have a single example of a mutation resulting in a net gain of information. Not one."
Obviously Mataxas is an evolution denier, aka science denier. I'm not surprised. He recently wrote two ridiculous articles for the Wall Street Journal where he pretends his anti-science fantasies are compatible with science.
Atheist here. I thank the god-soaked uneducated morons who disgrace their religious cults. They are the best possible advertisement for reality, aka atheism.
"The Christian Post has to be one of the most irritating websites I have yet encountered."
I notice the same problems. The people who own that website are obviously not very bright. I'm not surprised. There are intelligent educated Christians like yourself but it seems to me the vast majority of Christians are extremely dense.

Ugly fat Muslim women wear burkas to hide their suicide vests. If you're a Muslim moron get off my planet you stupid fucking asshole.
"A female suicide bomber struck a mosque in northern Nigeria, killing at least 20 people"
"Monday’s attack also followed a string of suicide bomb attacks on Maiduguri on Sunday. Army officials said that at least 14 suicide bombers, all teenage girls, struck the city in quick succession, killing at least 25 people."
In two days 15 women who were probably wearing burkas to hide their suicide vests blew themselves up to murder 45 people. Can anyone guess what moronic barbaric religion these female lunatics belong to? Hint: They were not Christians, Jews, or atheists. Another hint: They call their disgusting cult "The Religion of Peace".
Islam: The belief that you can attain a personal relationship with god through blowing yourself up.
Wimps wonder why I'm voting for Trump.

Babble, bullshit, blasphemy and being. Freedom of speech, freedom from faith.
I'm 100% certain the god fairy is a moronic fantasy for feeble-minded cowards. Same thing for the Easter Bunny. Magic is not real therefore magic fairies and magic rabbits are not real. Period.
Agnostics can't figure it out because they're idiots.

MUSLIM SCUM, DROP DEAD YOU FUCKING COWARDS. What I wrote at the Wall Street Journal:
Trump said we should temporarily not let Muslims enter this country. Trump was wrong. We should never let them in. Muslims must not be allowed to enter America forever, until the end of time.
In Afghanistan a mob of hundreds of cowardly Muslims (they're all cowards) attacked a woman and kicked her to death while police watched and did nothing. The story and the disgusting video is at the New York Times. At least Trump almost got it right. These barbarians must never be allowed to come here again.
Flawed Justice After a Mob Killed an Afghan Woman
At Yahoo Answers I wrote this stuff about Christian scum.
I'm creating a list of things American Christians share with the Islamic State terrorists. See list below. What should I add to the list?
Both Christians and terrorists share a fear of evolution.
They both try to suppress the teaching of evolution.
They both believe in a magical paradise for dead people.
They both share a belief in magical miracles.
They both brainwash children.
They both have ridiculous disgusting holy books.
They both have zero moral values.

You can't grow up and face facts because you're a coward. You're a total waste of time. You will waste your entire pathetic life not knowing what you are or where you came from. That's your problem. Nobody cares.
The Islamic State shares your fear of basic scientific facts and that's not the only thing you have in common with terrorists. You disgrace the human race. You have my contempt.

A bullshit New York Times article called "The Christmas Revolution" is about the Magic Jeebus Man. I copied and pasted a comment written by someone else.
Socrates
Downtown Verona, NJ 6 hours ago
Because the virgin birth fairy tale has been repeated for so long, it’s easy for biblically-concussed Christians to forget that evolution explains everything and that the Earth and its humans are not 6000 years old.
Genetic studies and fossils show that primates diverged from other mammals 85 million years ago.
Humans are closely related to gibbons, apes, orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas.
The earliest documented representative of the genus Homo is Homo habilis, which evolved 2.8 million years ago,.
The brains of these early hominins were about the same size as that of a chimpanzee, but at about that time the human SRGAP2 gene doubled, producing a more rapid wiring of the frontal cortex.
During the next million years a process of rapid encephalization occurred and human cranial capacity doubled.
The human brain grew significantly.
Modern humans evolved in Africa and migrated outward about 50,000 to 100,000 years ago.
Archaic Homo sapiens, the forerunner of anatomically modern humans, evolved between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago.
Behavioral modernity with culture and language, and specialized stone tools happened around 50,000 years ago.
The important point to remember is that the evolutionary increase in the size of the human brain not only helped humans survive better, but it also gave him the dubious ability to make up stories, fables and religious fairly tales.
Welcome to Peter Wehner's religious fantasyland of virgin births, devoid of history and science.

Bullshit from the Wall Street Journal: "The Death of God Is Greatly Exaggerated". I wrote some comments about it but most of these comments were written by other people.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-death-of-god-is-greatly-exaggerated-an-interview-with-eric-metaxas-1450481540
Divinities, all of them, are the product of fears, hopes, ignorance, and more fears... taken to a point where reason is obscured and what makes no rational sense is made to look like it has.
To take divinities out of religions is an enormous struggle.
To build an ethical foundation based on a humanitarian credo, an enlighting trip.
Confusing a humanitarian, moral existence with belief in what we know does not exist is the core source of confusion in the world.... it has always been like that.... but it does have to go on being like that. The start of change is the final termination of gods, all of them.
Jorge Fernandez
-----------------------------------------------
Mr. Metaxas pushes back against what he calls the “lie that faith and science are somehow opposed to each other.” He thinks the two work in tandem. As he wrote last year in these pages: “There are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life—every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart.” In sum: “Can every one of those many parameters have been perfect by accident?”
Translation:
Metaxas: "I know nothing about science therefore the Magic Man did it."
-----------------------------------------------
It is so much easier to be religious than to be educated. In the 21st Century, through cosmology, we know the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years and that our solar system is 4..6 billion years. Through genetics, we know that homo sapiens, our genus, is 200,000 years old.
So how old is religion? About 5000 years.
It started with Pythagoras of Samos (5th Century BCE). From his teachings came Judaism's "Torah" (400 BCE). A few unhappy Jews invented Christianity in 100 CE. Then Mohammed, who read the Torah & Bible, took the best of both & wrote his "Koran", (632 CE) for Islam.
Many battles ensued over which of these religious myths was right. Shiites killed Sunnis. Catholics split into Western & Eastern (Orthodox) rite. Western rite split into Catholic and Protestant and killed each other. Over the millennium, millions have been slaughtered for "religion". They are still doing it today.
All for what? For lack of education. For the first myths. For Pythagoras.
-----------------------------------------------
"It is so much easier to be religious than to be educated."
Science hard. Hurts brain.
God easy. No think.
-----------------------------------------------
"If religion in America is dying, then someone will have to explain Eric Metaxas."
That's easy. Metaxas wants to replace science with "The Magic Man did it", as does most of the American population, not to mention the Islamic State.
"faith and science are not opposed"
Every religious fantasy ever invented requires throwing out all of science. Science explains reality. Religions are a denial of reality.
In America (and the Islamic State) there is a never ending religious war against science education, especially evolution. This is disgraceful and reason enough to throw religious stupidity in the garbage where it belongs.
A ridiculous fantasy that requires throwing out all of reality: "And yet all Christian theology has its origin in the wonder of all wonders: that God became human."
-----------------------------------------------
Metaxas is the Dr. Oz of religion.
It's no surprise that Christianity is growing rapidly in Latin America and Africa--the poorest and least educated parts of the world.
Life is so difficult that people will believe, or perhaps claim to believe in god in hope of an eternal afterlife.
Super Lotto has a devoted weekly following as well and is roughly based on the same psychological principle.
-----------------------------------------------
Humans have worshipped pantheons of different Deities, Gods, and Goddesses over the course of history in their quest to understand the universe around them and divinity. From the Cult of Isis, to Celts of Scandinavia and the British Isles, to Mithraic cults, to the Egyptian sun god, to the Hindu pantheon of Gods and Goddesses, and many younger religions as well. So many. The myths, legends, teachings and belief variations are staggering but also contain similarities as noted by some esotericists. Therefore, one occasionally worries that come to find out...the number 42 or the golden ratio truly is the answer to the universe.
-----------------------------------------------
Oh puhleeeze, WSJ, deliver us from the lacks of Metaxas, for too too much of a tax on us he do be! Metaxas is just a latter day Elmer Gantry, another shyster, like practically all preachers.
Send this loving "warrior" to fight ISIS. Maybe he can kill them all with love.
And there's reason enough and more, ISIS, that religion should be kept out of the public square.
Puhleeze! No more of Metaxas waving a fake banana at all the knuckle-dragging WSJ readers!
-----------------------------------------------
“Can every one of those many parameters have been perfect by accident?”
He makes it sound so dirty! The words he is looking for are "random chance", and the answer is a resounding, unequivocal, "Yes!"
Why? There are hundreds of billions of galaxies contained hundreds of billions stars each. The whole thing has been running for over 13 billion years, or quite a bit longer than Bronze Age theology has been around. If you throw the dice enough times, of course you will get the outcome of Earth-like planets. Hundreds of millions of them, most likely.
Science isn't a smarmy smile and a bunch of BS.
-----------------------------------------------
[As he wrote last year in these pages: “There are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life—every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart.” ] - Ah, yes, this is a reference to the most intellectually dishonest opinion piece I've ever read in the WSJ. But, I guess willfully misunderstanding (or misconstruing) scientific concepts can reconcile the fundamental epistemological differences between science and religion...or perhaps not.
The hundreds of reader comments that disgraceful article elicited changed no minds, and it produced no meaningful dialogue. I'm under no illusions that this comment will be any different.
Suffice it to say these concepts are unrconcilealable:
1. Revelation v. Discovery
2. Prophecies v. Hypotheses
3. Appeals to authority v. Observational data
...and this is a BIG ONE
4. Faith v. Skepticism
I'm guessing (although honestly, I've never listened to his radio show) that "Miracle Monday's" are not approached with any pretext of the skepticism that's been a hallmark of Western science over the past 400 years.
-----------------------------------------------
That is the worst essay I've seen in the Journal in a long time.
A guy figures out how to make money talking on the radio about his god and pretending that his god is GOD, and suddenly he has all the answers?
If more people spent their time and energy on creating things, making things, selling things and educating kids so they can do the same instead of worrying about their gods, this would be a much better world. Religions start wars and are used to justify beheadings, firings, genocide and so many horrible things just because people can't stand to be disagreed with when it comes to religions.
I understand why so many people believe and have to believe, but the time and money wasted on religions is incalculable. The Middle East would be a much more peaceful place, I think, if its religious leaders didn't poison minds with hate.
-----------------------------------------------
The more religious leaders use Christianity to justify: wars, tax cuts, racism, and imposing their views on others, the more people are going to turn away from religion in general.
-----------------------------------------------
Christians think like young children.
If God is who Christians profess him to be, then It must be acknowledged that not only did he present himself to the world in a very confusing manner that has spawned so many conflicting ideas as to his nature and message, but he has also failed to prevent false information from being disseminated that directly attacks his very existence. This is a two-pronged roadblock for people to overcome if they are to ascertain the truth- an inconsistent and unreliable scripture that’s further eroded by a cavalcade of contravening information.
Some Christians will claim that God purposely allowed this situation to test peoples’ faith, but the more likely truth is that it is the result of a man-made religion combined with the non-existence of any god to filter the flow of information.
-----------------------------------------------
Science has enabled the blind to see. Christianity has not. Science has enabled the deaf to hear. Christianity has not. Science has enabled the dumb to speak. Christianity has not. Science has fed the multitudes. Christianity has not. Science has cured most of the worst plagues of humankind. Christianity has not. Science has enabled paraplegics to move about independently. Christianity has not. Science has uncovered the secrets of the universe. Christianity has not. Science has taken us to moon, to the planets, and the comets. Christianity has left us stuck on earth.
Lastly, Christianity has promised us an eternal life, but has done nothing to extend our earthly lifespan. Science has doubled our life expectancy in the past 150 years. And if immortality is ever achieved, it will be science, not Christianity, that will deliver it.
-----------------------------------------------
For 160 million years, approximately 225 to 65 million years ago, the Earth was a dinosaur planet. There was no question who ruled at the top of the food chain. But Christianity suggests that God created the Earth so he could have a place for his ultimate creation- human beings. If this is so, does it make any sense that he allowed the dinosaurs so much time, given that they had no significance in the eternal matters of his theology?
The answer to the question is ‘no,’ it makes no sense whatsoever. Modern humans have existed for at most 200,000 years, or 1/800th of the reign of the dinosaurs. The history of dinosaurs on this planet is significant evidence that the Earth was not created for humans and that there was no god directing the script.
-----------------------------------------------
You worship a god who kills millions just to see them suffer in pain?
From 1347 to 1350, a devastating pandemic hit Europe causing the death of approximately 25 million people, one third of the population. Entire families were wiped out and some villages were made into ghost towns. Houses became empty because all of inhabitants had died. Fields and animals went untended causing crops to fail and the animals to die. Most people thought that a vengeful God caused this catastrophe and the remedies of choice were prayer, fasting, and mystical rituals. All of these were ineffective, of course, and when there seemed to be end in sight, most people thought the world was coming to an end.
The Black Plague offers a multi-faceted demonstration of the non-reality of the Christian faith. First, it convincingly showed the ineffectiveness of prayer, as God ignored millions and millions of prayers of the suffering Europeans. Second, it showed the callousness of God to human suffering, as the plague caused pustules and tumors to grow almost visibly, fever, vomiting of blood, and pneumonia as victims suffered immense pain for up to a week before their deaths. Third, it highlighted the failure of God to enlighten people of the causes and prevention of disease either through scripture or divine revelation. Had this been done, the range and scope of the outbreak would have been much less severe. Fourth, it revealed God’s flawed design of the human body to be so vulnerable to this pathogen.
In short, the Black Plague is exactly what would be expected from evolution, a godless process that has no preference or partiality for humans. For an objective observer, it provides a compelling clue that Christianity is false.
-----------------------------------------------
During the holiday season, many Christians object to greeters who say “Happy Holidays” as opposed to “Merry Christmas.” It is one of many manifestation of their insecurity. They use the terms “war on Christmas” and “war on Christianity” despite enjoying a numerical super-majority. An affront on their faith is seen as being disrespectful, though they feel free to criticize and belittle any opposing belief system. They don’t seem to understand that saying “Merry Christmas” is being somewhat insensitive to Muslims and Jews, for example, and, certainly, they would be incensed if someone greeted them with “Happy Hanukkah.”
This type of hyper-sensitivity can only exist within the framework of a fragile belief system, one that is highly dependent on faith as opposed to solid evidence. To give a counter example, people who believe in evolution are not in the least bit upset when a creationist spouts their nonsense because the evolutionist is standing on a mountain of scientific evidence supporting his claim. Christians do not have that luxury and most are in a continual state of cognitive dissonance as new discoveries and events are constantly challenging their beliefs.
If Christianity was true, its followers would exude a quiet confidence and would glibly brush off any and all contrary opinions, secure in their faith, backed by compelling evidence.
-----------------------------------------------
Science has absolutely nothing to say about the existence of God. As Popper asserted, a proposition is only scientific if it can be falsified. That is, you must be able to think of a circumstance that would disprove the proposition. If you posit that there are no aliens, the discovery of one alien would disprove your proposition. That means your proposition was scientific.
But it is not possible to disprove the existence of a transcendent god. By definition, such an entity is unknowable. It is impossible to come up with a test to disprove its existence. Hence, science has nothing interesting to say, one way or the other, about religion. They are completely incompatible epistemologies.
The reason I post on this issue is because Mr. Metaxas insists that science supports religion. That's straying on our turf. You guys go and be transcendent all you want, but don't claim that we make statements of ANY kind about religion.
-----------------------------------------------
"The Death of God Is Greatly Exaggerated"
-----------------------------------------------
"The Death of God Is Greatly Exaggerated"
A magical being (Zeus, Allah, God, Magic Man) is not real now and it never was real. What died was the god fantasy which was invented to explain what ancient people didn't understand.
Not everyone got the memo but the god fantasy died in 1859 when Charles Darwin published "On the Origin of Species." His ideas were so powerful (and now supported by two centuries of scientific discoveries) the god-soaked denied the whole thing, a problem that continues today.
Darwin showed that a magical being was not required to explain the development of new species. It's fair to say if the god fairy's magic wand was not required for something that complex, it was not required for anything else.
Darwin killed Mr. God. Good riddance.
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
The earth is one of 8 planets orbiting an ordinary star, that itself is in an ordinary spiral arm of one of approximately 200,000,000,000 galaxies in the universe. And every galaxy has at least 100,000,000,000 solar systems.
200 Billion times 100 Billion equals a very big number. Our middle-of-nowhere planet is equivalent to one grain of sand in the Sahara Desert. If Earth disappeared nobody would notice and nobody would care.
Our planet is not a big deal. We are not a big deal. A magical master of the entire vast universe (if we want to pretend the ridiculous god fantasy is real) would not think we are big deal. But that doesn't stop the god-soaked from pretending the Magic Man listens to human apes pray.
My point is the god-soaked need to grow up, stop being cowards, and face facts. We are all alone here. There is no magical being watching over us. We're just animals on a tiny planet. There is no magical soul that magically flies to a magical paradise for dead people.

At the Wall Street Journal I wrote a comment about Trump and what he said about Muslim Fucktards. We will see if my comment gets deleted by politically correct assholes.
Even before 3,000 Americans were murdered on 9/11/2001 I had a very low opinion of Muslims. Finally we have a candidate for president who is not worried about offending these people. This is why I have to vote for Trump.

"Presidential candidates are seeking to position themselves as alternatives to current front-runner Donald Trump"
They're wasting their time. Trump will win the nomination and there's nothing they can do about it. The most recent poll shows Trump has 41% of the Republican voters. That's not going to go down, it can only go up as other candidates drop out of the race.
What convinced me was Trump's idea to not let in any Muslims. The other candidates cried about it. Now I know who the wimps are and who wants to keep America safe.
"The billionaire businessman surges to 41 percent after releasing proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S."
My comment at the Wall Street Journal was deleted. See below for what made the WSJ cry. I then wrote this comment: If Mr. Trump, the Republican candidate for president who is likely to win the nomination, wrote a comment at the Wall Street Journal about why he doesn't want to let Muslims enter America, the Wall Street Journal would delete those comments, for the same reason my comment was deleted. Censorship is wrong. Freedom of Speech is a basic human right.
Muslims and the liberals who suck up to Muslims don't like Trump's idea to keep America safe.
Do Muslims let normal people (anyone who isn't a Muslim) visit Mecca? No, only Muslims can go there, including the terrorists. Fine with me.
So what's the problem with not letting Muslims enter civilized countries? Let the Muslim crybabies and liberal crybabies cry. This is our country. We decide who can enter and who can stay out.
The most moderate Muslims (as if there's something moderate about belonging to an organization infested with terrorists) will have children and grandchildren who will be brainwashed to believe the Quran is the word of Allah. This is where the terrorists get all their ideas.
The only possible way to keep America safe is just stop letting these people get in.

Some Christian retard called his magical holiday "christmas". My reply at Yahoo Answers:
It's called Santa Claus Day. Only ASSHOLES call it what you called it.
Hey dipsh!t, do you have any evidence for your Magic Jeebus Man? I didn't think so. Fuck off retard.
Duh, duh, the Magic Man did it, duh fuck, duh.
Take your baby Jeebus and shove it, you fucking idiot.

Terrorism for the Allah fairy. The Muslims who pretend they are moderate and the wimps who suck up to Muslim scum are part of the problem. Cowardly Muslim retards must not be allowed to enter civilized countries. No exceptions. If you're a Muslim you're a fucking idiot. Don't come here, and if you're already here, then get out.
Some comments I wrote at the Wall Street Journal at http://www.wsj.com/articles/how-to-beat-islamic-state-1449850833
Islamic State’s leaders insist that the U.S. and the rest of the West are waging a global war against all Islam and Muslims. This is obvious nonsense, but by a combination of provocation and self-fulfilling prophecy, Islamic State is doing everything possible to make it a reality—helped along, alas, by Donald Trump’s call this week “for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”
In other words we must not offend Muslims so they don't kill us. I don't think so. Let the Muslim crybabies cry. If we didn't let them in Europe and America we would not be having problems with "1,000 British Muslims have joined Islamic State" not to mention 9/11 and all the other atrocities.
Islam is not a religion. It's a terrorist organization.
"36% of young British Muslims thought apostates should be punished by death.”
"Trump’s outlandish remarks"
Mr. Nawaz, 36% of young British Muslims want to kill me and you have the nerve to call Trump's ideas "outlandish". Nawaz, you have my contempt.
Look at the other stuff you wrote:
"A quarter of British Muslims sympathized with the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris, according to a February poll by ComRes for the BBC. A 2008 YouGov poll found that a third of Muslim students believe that killing for religion can be justified, and 40% want the introduction of Shariah as law in the U.K."
33% of UK Muslims think killing people to defend the Allah fantasy is justified. How can anyone read this and then call Trump's ideas "outlandish".
After reading what you wrote I no longer think it's enough to ban all Muslims from coming here. Something must be done about the Muslims already here. They should be strongly encouraged to get out.
Mr. Nawaz, why do you think a magical 2nd life in a magical paradise for dead Muslims is real? I know why. It's because you're a coward. Reality makes you cry. The countless thousands of terrorist lunatics who infest your disgusting cult have the same problem. Reality makes them cry.
Mr. Nawaz, have you ever seen your Allah fairy? Can you describe its magic wand?
My point is, Mr. Nawaz, if you had any sense of decency you would throw your barbaric cult in the garbage where it belongs. This is the 21st century and you still live in the Dark Ages. Grow up and face facts Mr. Nawaz. You're part of the problem.
"Only in jail, after Amnesty International adopted my case, did I dedicate myself to rereading, reviewing and reappraising my every thought."
Mr. Nawaz, you did not reappraise your every thought. You did not reappraise your idea that Allah is real. Maybe you and the other Muslims who pretend they are moderate should be reappraising your magic fairy's existence.
Here in the 21st century where normal people live, there are no magical beings hiding somewhere in the universe. This is called "reality". Reality is a wonderful thing because it's interesting and because it's real. Perhaps you fear reality because reality kills the idiotic childish wishful thinking you call paradise.
I'm suggesting if you're really serious about fixing the totally out of control violence your disgusting cult has made possible, you should throw out your magical Allah fairy and your magical paradise for dead Muslims. In other words, Mr. Nawaz, you should grow up, face facts, and stop being a feeble-minded coward.

San Bernardino Shooting Prompts Soul Searching Among U.S. Muslims - Some leaders say mosques should do more to counter extremism, while others argue they regularly condemn violence, to no avail.
"A small minority, meanwhile, argue Islam itself needs change, a highly controversial notion among most Muslims."
Muslims, I have a better idea. Grow up and accept reality. Your cult is ridiculous. There is no magical paradise for suicide bombers or anyone else. Your Allah is not real. Your idea that women should cover their hair is insulting. Your constant praying is pointless. Your denial of our close evolutionary relationship with the other ape species only shows how uneducated you are.
Your religion, beside being idiotic, is extremely violent. Look at Syria. Your death cult made that mess possible. Normal people don't blow themselves up, fly airplanes into buildings, or cut off heads, but you Muslims do these things every day.
The problem is Islam. Throw it out.

I asked a question at Yahoo Answers. Best answer did not actually answer the question but it was well done. Question: Christians, why would your God pay so much attention to this planet in a universe of countless trillions of solar systems?
Best Answer: Jesus is fake fake fake.
jesus is really a mexican at walmart
allah/mohammad is cab driver in new york city
buddha is fat man at china dim sum house
kim jong un is waiter at korean noodle house.
1. Religion impedes scientific truth. As someone who studies evolutionary science, I'm frustrated at how many religious people ignore the mountain of evidence behind the theory of evolution. Genes, point mutations, patterns in variability between closely-related genomes, artificial selection, natural selection, kin selection, allopatric/sympatric speciation, founder species, bottleneck events, reciprocal altruism, adaptive radiation... How stubborn and willfully ignorant must a person be to dismiss all of this? To me, evolutionary process is something everyone should understand. Creationism and Intelligent Design don't even fit the definition of a "theory." Science aside, though, "faith" prevents people from asking questions in general, and that's the most dangerous part.
2. Religion allows people to relinquish responsibility for their actions. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the phrase, "It's in God's hands now," or that "All we can do is pray." I went to a screening of a documentary about sex-trafficking at my university, unaware that it was made by Christians whose only advice was to pray, and then tell all of my friends to pray. You have to understand that in the mind of an atheist, prayer is slacktivism, it's useless, and it's an excuse not to do something actually helpful. It serves to make people feel better, I guess. Maybe that's good, but it's made-up.
3. Religious leaders are automatically trusted and can convince people to give money, change their behavior, start a war... Intolerance is taught by many religions. Can't tell you how many times I was told on the school bus that I was going to Hell for being Buddha (at the time).
