Jody, MissJ ....you are obviously fooled by the devil. Look at you wallowing in negativity. I will pray for you.

Psilocyborg, since when is loving God negative? And just who does an atheist pray to?

Didyour life has not turn out they way you wanted or at some point you prayed BITD and God did not give you what you prayed for, or someone died that you loved so much and you hated God because of it? Things happen for a reason. IF your life is not what you want then it's up to you to make it better by believing in yourself and asking God to help you the way. He, sometimes when we pray , says NO not at this time. And when we pray for someone to live when they are so ill, it's our breaking hearts that are being selfish but God knows to take them so they will no longer suffer.
We remain and eventually heal from our broken hearts.

Now back to my life as God gives me strength to get though a grieving process.

Experiencing the here and now on a continuous basis, an objective reality.

the truth is that the White House struck the same note of apology, disavowing the offending speech while claiming to protect free speech in principle. It may seem a small detail, given the heat of the moment—but so is a quivering lip.

As predictable as Muslim bullying has become, the moral confusion of secular liberals appears to be part of the same clockwork.

"How should American leaders respond?... If the U.S. follows the example of Europe over the last two decades, it will bend over backward to avoid further offense. And that would be a grave mistake—for the West no less than for those Muslims struggling to build a brighter future."

The Muslim men and women (and yes, there are plenty of women) who support—whether actively or passively—the idea that blasphemers deserve to suffer punishment are not a fringe group. On the contrary, they represent the mainstream of contemporary Islam.

such intolerance has ... become the defining characteristic of Islam.

And the defining characteristic of the Western response? ...it is the utterly incoherent tendency to simultaneously defend free speech — and to condemn its results.

As I have pointed out on many occasions, “religion” is a term like “sports”: Some sports are peaceful but spectacularly dangerous (“free solo” rock climbing, street luge); some are safer but synonymous with violence (boxing, mixed martial arts); and some entail little more exertion or risk of serious injury than standing in the shower (bowling, badminton).

To speak of “sports” as a generic activity makes it impossible to discuss what athletes actually do, or the physical attributes required to do it. What do all sports have in common, apart from breathing? Not much. The term “religion” is scarcely more useful.

"Mormonism is the product of the plagiarisms and confabulations of an obvious con man, Joseph Smith, whose adventures among the credulous were consummated (in every sense) in the full, unsentimental glare of history. "

The point, however, is that I can say all these things about Mormonism, and disparage Joseph Smith to my heart’s content, without fearing that I will be murdered for it. Secular liberals ignore this distinction at every opportunity and to everyone’s peril.

With the end of traditional theism, the purpose and future of religion are uncertain.
