    Atheists don't much care who you think god is, You can call him Gary if you want. it's when you start blowing people up, Treating women like animals and Killing people for being gay that we take offence. As as these pastimes seem to be an intrinsic part of Islam you give us a lot to be offended about.

    That's not very nice for someone who believes Allah.

    What the hell is wrong with you?

    There are a million reasons not to believe in God.

    If you believe in God, that is your personal faith. Don't dictate what others should believe in.

    Unfortunately, the more pain I see, the distress, the level of poverty...... All that makes it very hard to believe that God actually exists, and does very little for its creation. Isn't Human being supposed to be the Ashrufal Makhlukaat, the Best Creation? But there is enough evidence to the contrary, that human being is the vilest of all animals... :(:(:(

    @OP, i'd vote for an Atheist. Religion or faith has no connection with the capability of an individual.

    Really, so you're an Islamic Scholor,eh? But you have no knowledge of culture.

    Come to India, the land which is the birth place of the world's 2 largest religions, Hinduism and Buddhism, and many a different religions, cultures and languages have evolved in this magical land.

    Trust me, Indians would kill you if you're a gay.

    You have nothing but utter disrespect for "other" people, people who don't think like you, or have your lifestyle. Thats where your accusations against Islam come from. If 1/5th of the world's population wants to blow themselves up, you'll have a really big problem at your hands, trust me...

    You don't have to be an islamic scholar to know that people ARE blown up, Women ARE treated like animals and gays ARE executed because if islam.

    If you want to be outraged about something why not start a thread about your condemnation of those doing evil things in the name of Islam... It's funny, But i have never seen such a thread on here, But i have certainly seen a lot of folks playing the victim card because someone dared criticise a primitive desert cult.

    Do you find it more offensive to read someone criticising barbaric behaviour done in the name of islam than to read about people behaving barbarically in the name of islam? the noise created by muslims is being projected in the wrong direction. If you don't want people to criticise the disgusting things done in the name of islam direct your noise to those doing the disgusting things, Not those criticising them.

    You're a great outgoing person and I salute your being tolerant to all religions.

    However, I cannot agree with a few of the unintentional lies that you spread through your posts. In India, dating is very legal and is more common than turbans :rolleyes: There are night clubs dedicated to one night stands.

    Homosexuality is still addressed ambiguously in Indian law and is likely to be legalized very soon. There are almost no recorded instances of homosexuals being persecuted. In rural places, there's probably a taboo on the subject but the urban populace is much more open-minded. In fact, about three years ago, a lesbian movie, called 'Girlfriend' was produced and released in India. Although the public was quite disturbed by it, it definitely shows you that homos aren't met with as much hostility as you like us to think ;)

    If you violate a non Muslim, it's not a sin.

    Yeah, it's called threadjacking. Why don't you go into the Google forums and make a post like that and see how they react. ;)

    I am an Indian myself. And I was referring to homosexuality.
    Dating a girl is common in Indian cities. but you should come to the villages, where 75% of India resides. If you're also an Indian, or know India, then you'll realise how conservative Indians are.

    The movie "Girlfriend" was an utter flop. You know about it... Dd you actually watch that movie?:D

    Homosexuality will never be legalized in India, not in a 100 years. We have people like Raj Thackery to take care of the stuff...

    Homosexuality is illegal like wearing a fake moustache in church is illegal... ie, It's still on the statute books but it's not enforced and there are no convictions. In india, According to wikipedia, There hasn't been a conviction in over 20 years for homosexuality in india.

    I don't know. It is considered "unnatural" in India. we're conservative people, you know, unlike Americans...

    I think an athiest would do a better job for everyone in the US as a whole. I think a Athiest would be more fair to everyone regardless of their religious background than a Christian. I think an athiest would treat a muslim and a jew the same as a Christian which is what we need. Just because there are more Christians in the United States doesn't mean it has to have a Christian base. I know a lot of Christians who feel the same way.
