I'm thinking I should break out the sage and ' smudge' myself, recite a few incantations, but the neighbours might call in the cavalry. Oh well, better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.........

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

That's exactly why I don't believe in any of the major religions; I refuse to live on my knees.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

Oh it was quite exciting. There was suspense, there was confrontation, there was debate, there was peace.... we covered just about everything, really.

Ok my definition of a racist:

Someone who verbally or physically attacks someone for no reason other than that person lets say being Black,Jewish or whatever.

I DID NOT attack anyone verbally or physically.

Why I don't want her to call me sis? Very easy to explain,she is rude and disrespectful towards me.I have not attacked her verbally nor have I done anything else than telling ppl what I (!!!!!!) think.

Nat

Sorry sis, in the past you did present yourself to be very racist.

"All depends on how you define "living on your knees" I suppose."

It does.

I consider religions that require a subservient relationship with "god" to be living on ones' knees.

Some people need that kind of thing in their life, and that's fine for them.

I don't really have a problem with others being religious; it just ain't for me. lol

I am flying out next month with the Hijab on. Will say if they give me a trouble...

well dont wear one then.........problem solved.

It isn't simply a matter of not wearing one. In fact, taking it off does not solve the problem, but rather creates a bigger one. Taking it off gives in to the fear mongering and hatred. Wearing hijab in the face of hostility is a trial and a test that can increase one's faith. It's also a sign to show that one is not ashamed of being muslim hijab.gif

Wearing it proudly and showing the world that you can be a muslim and *gasp* not be a terrorist and a nice person does far more to solve the problem then taking it off. That's my mission every day

That wasn't what I meant. I personally believe it takes more internal fortitude to follow a religion then not. It's all in how you perceive your own life.

I can see that, yes.

Personally, I'm not willing to live by rules and laws from 2000 years ago that don't even apply to me (No relationship to Abraham at all....) in hope that I'll someday go to that great casino in the sky that might or might not exist. I prefer to live THIS life as I want, since I know that it is "real".

Perhaps that means I'm lazy. I don't think so. It just means that I'm a cynic and refuse to put faith into something that I find impossible to logically believe.
