Natural disasters are occuring often lately because the Flying Spaghetti Monster is punishing us for not following His path and dressing in full pirate regalia. Here is a graph which proves that global warming is the result of declining pirate numbers:

Obviously, if we want to prevent the apocalypse, we must all return to our pirate ways. Hopefully you all will be touched by His Noodly Appendage and see the error of your ways.

baron- a large part of religious faith is accepting things without question. even things that do not make sense or that you don't understand. Somethings, however must be understood to be included in your faith, and that is where some of these people go off.

Mostly, Christians are viewed as people who tell everyone else they are wrong, and who hate everything, and hate lots of other ppl.

It's just not true, TBH. some of us are like that, but most are sensible people who have kids reading Harry Potter at home. It's the same thing with muslims, people say that muslims are all violent suicide-bombers. but there are lots of ppl who ARENT extremists and who are not like the stereotypes.

Lots of ppl have no desire to understand so they just compartmentalize so thier agendas aren't ruined. It's easier that way.

seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Another thing that seems to be being overlooked in this Potter ordeal:

Children are most impressionable far younger than what the average reader is. In other words, the majority of the people reading the book are not likely to be subjugated by the mearly reading of the books.

People who go badly, went that way long before they read anything that drove them over the edge. Children who take guns to school, more than likely would have done so even if they had no outside influences at all. There were violent children before video games. The problem these days is that many parents do not teach their children to cope with normalcy. I am not saying its fair, but life's bad things teach us something. Most times at least we benefit from them.

In the end, anyone who is thinking that reading any book will cause someone to turn out bad is themselves in need of help.

haha n00b, the Spaniards took the name "JESUS" from the middle east when the muslims conquered spain. Along with other names like Joachin.

The "the bible's been changed" theory went out the eindow when they discovered the dead sea scrolls which were EXACTLY like the current bible. We know where Confucius is buried, we know where buddha is buried, whe know where muhammed is buried, but there's no "jesus tomb" its far from any sort of PROOF, but its interesting nonetheless.
