    Doesn't sound like a suicide to me.

    What do Reform Jews believe about gay marriage and abortion?

    Is there still much difference between Reform and Reconstuctionist Judaism? I ask because here in NZ Progressive Judaism seems to be becoming a mix of the two more leaning in the Reform direction.

    Can a person become a Reform Jew without access to a local synagogue?

    I took Biblical Hebrew but you wouldn't think so & it's not the Alphabet, I find Greek comparatively easy but my Hebrew is truly, truly appalling.

    What superhero are you?

    Apparently I am Superman. Which, strangely, reminds me of this favorite of mine from youtube: 5TMdyPSv0tc YouTube - Too Cool For Traffic Ticket

    Judaism- The Happy Medium in the Abrahamic Religions

    Because focusing solely on the positive gives both a false impression and false information. All religions have people who are on the extreme ends of the bell curve, to ignore them is to misunderstand the faith concerned.

    Why faith is evil

    Presence of faith is no more immoral than it's absence. But really that is not what the good professor is discussing here. He is setting up a strawman which he then demolishes. But that is not how faith works, people don't just have generic 'faith' so that anything goes, faith exists within...

    Judaism- The Happy Medium in the Abrahamic Religions

    You are aware that the Old Catholic Church is not the Roman Catholic Church and separated from them in the 1870s? In any case how does my religious affiliation bear any import here? I am not tarring all Jews with this brush, just simply saying that every religion has it's share of extremists.

    What does the RF Muslim community make of this video?

    Sharia means different things in different countries. Libya is not the same as Iran which differs again from Malaysia. There is no monolithic block of 'Sharia Law' as you seem to think there is.

    What does the RF Muslim community make of this video?

    Then I take it you are also not in favour of the Rabbinical courts which have existed in England for most of the last 100 years?

    Turns out Ground Zero Mosque protesters are racists too!

    I note Kathryn did not post this portion of the article quoted: Source Nor this: Nor this: Fact of the matter is that real life is more complicated than some would have you believe. Yes, some Muslims were intolerant, some were not, however and NOTHING can remove the greatness of...

    Turns out Ground Zero Mosque protesters are racists too!

    So a group of mystics (Sufis) should not be allowed to build a mosque because some Wahabbis flew planes into the WTC buildings? You do know that Sufis are also on the Wahabbi kill list don't you?

    Australian Aboriginal Religion

    Because, like most animist systems, there is no set codification of belief and relatively few internet-capable computers in the outback.

    Troops Punished After Refusing to Attend Evangelical Concert

    See, once again this is an attack without even the concern to provide some measure of independent proof of the statement. Either provide the proof or don't make the comment please.

    Is everything relative? The "Prime Directive" is evil

    I tend to agree with you here. I was actually responding to much of this thread in which every missionary was being attacked. As someone else mentioned you have to look at both positive and negative to make a balanced comment. This thread was severely out of balance and while I am capable of...
