my question, why would one immigrate to the west and refuse to adopt the western cultural?.
if you believe our way of life is so degenerated why bring your family to this place.. in a very close 5-4 vote, the city of irving ruled to back the texas state bill banning foreign.
law from the state.
By the way, when I said "harmless, I meant harmless to non-Muslims.
The problem with this type of argument is that it relies on a sort of double standard. For instance my neighbor could do all sorts of things to his wife and family which would be perfectly "harmless" to me but I don't think that affects his wife and children's legal rights one bit!

In any case, I know that it's an authoritarian religion but all three of the 'Abrahamic' faiths are. Let them follow their traditions as long as it doesn't impact non-Muslims and those Muslims who don't want to abide by them.
I agree that it would be racist to make laws targeting one faith over others, but surely it can't be good to have pocket societies spring up which embody deeply regressive, anti-constitutional and anti-democratic ideas...
we had a bad experience with watchtower trying to infiltrate our forums.
let this story be a warning for all you guys here.
if you value your privacy do not ever send your real contact details to anyone, even if you trust them (because their accounts could be hacked or accessed by their relatives - and yes, this happened to people i know several times already).
Wow I thought this would be a total tin-foil topic but it's hard to argue with the IP...
It's probably not organized from the top, but it is still interesting -- goes to show the online community is putting the fear of God in them :-).
the religion of the educated classes revisited: new religions, the nonreligious, and educational levels - james r. lewis .

anyone else also hold this view or understand it at least, or do you feel the need to argue that both can in no way coexist?.
you got to say it out loud
what was the most fun ride you've ever had?.
my personal favorite was my ducati paso 750. it may have been before a few of your times, but it was an italian rocket that totally blew away anything from japan.. .
jk.
In defense of bicycles they are cheap, require little or no repair, they are no hassle to park and you get exercise and a chance to relax going to and from work. Plus, you can drive them while drunk. For everything within a 10-15 km radius a bicycle is very hard to beat!.
plus I have noticed that whenever motorcycles come up people always chime in with lines that begin like: "And they are not that dangerous, I have only been nearly killed once/twice/going to work this morning..."

Crabby = Santa makes sense.
If you put them together you get "Crabby Santa", which is basically how I would describe the God of the old testament!
all us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.
we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.
but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.
Speaking for myself, it is because I am angry at God for holding me accountable for my sinful ways.
