You cannot judge an entire group of people by the actions of some. You can't lump anyone together like that...
Yes, I can. When they all band together to support wrong and not one of them has the balls to stand up and say it's wrong.
You bet I can.
imo an excellent blog post by sam harris..... we are free to burn the quran or any other book, and to criticize muhammad or any other human being.
let no one forget it.. most secular liberals think that all religions are the same, and they consider any suggestion to the contrary a sign of bigotry.
somehow, this article of faith survives daily disconfirmation.

Believers will publicly say they don't agree with name-calling............until one of their own does it.

I agree with what NC said - the atheists here don't rally behind someone who is abusive, name-calling, etc. They let the person stand on their own.
The believers rally behind and support their own - no matter what they do.
Jesus said, "He who is faithful in small things, is faithful is larger things."
Quote:
And of course, the person who is killing someone (be it their offender or an innocent) is totally in the wrong
I no longer have any doubt that Christians will publicly say they don't agree with killing...............until one of their own does it.
I remember what happened to your mom. I didn't know this about your daughter.
((( BIG HUG ))) to you.

wtf!?!?
anybody catch the worst decision ever made at the end of a game?
wow heads have got to roll!.
Maybe the players need to refuse to play until the ref'ing issue is settled.
has anyone ever thought to send a copy of rutherford's letter to hitler & declaration of facts to the holocaust museum in washington, d.c.?
they have and entire section dedicated to the jehovah's witness in that museum.
i would hate for tourists to visit the museum and not get the whole story.. i would also assume there are jw displays at other holocaust museums around the world.
in my last meeting to be re-instated they said for next time figure out which person from the bible i'm most like.
and be ready to tell them what i pray about and how i feel about what i did to jehovah.
being honest , speaking from the heart about jesus forgiving peter and having a hard time answering the prayer question didn't work getting hysterical and nervous-breakdownish at the end didn't help, nor did running out of the hall after saying i could never do any better.

Good luck to you, dear.
i've finally turned my attentions away from anthony morris iii (just for the time being!
) and done a video about another governing body member... gerrit losch.. in this video, taken from a 2008 talk (given in sydney, australia), gerrit gives us his grim predictions for the future.... .

No wonder they're all depressed.
Even if you survive ( not a big chance of that ) you can look forward to years and years of "work" - burying and disposing of rotting human corpses, most likely your friends, neighbors, co-workers, relatives, children.....
How wonderful!
Sign me up.
we got a new dog and he needs a name!
he was abandoned by his family in their back yard when they moved and then was rescued by animal rescue.
he's been fostered for the last 4 months and his foster mom called him martin.
Ooooo, I like "Farkel"........

How 'bout "Huggy"?
LOL That name came up tonight, too!
I thank you all for the suggestions!
We considered many of them!
My man favors a nice rye whiskey, and the dog is the color of rye, so he is named
WHISKEY
He seems to have made himself completely at home, has poo'ed and pee'ed outside where he is supposed to and generally seems like he will be an awesome fit with our family!
Currently the two dogs are snuggled together, sleeping on the couch.

What kind of dog is the other (black and tan) one? He looks a lot like mine.
He's a chihuahua, too.
He's the first one we got.
