I think it is time to lay this myth to rest. Colin Powell stated that without illegal immigrants his remodeling and other work on his home would not have been done - sorry, Colin. Here in Arizona we have a lot of legal US...

murderistic It is very rare for illegal immigrants to be making over minimum wage - although, some immigrants who are working are not actually illegal, they just don't have a work permit. I don't know, it's easy to get mad and discriminate against the outsiders who are...

Before you all go ballistic, I've heard that's how it was in the beginning years of the U.S. The reasoning was that property owners had worked hard and presumably were thrifty, money conscious, and would want the national spending...

murderistic Dragon - unfortunatly that was the general sentiment back then, wether or not they actually came out and said it, we all know that was the main reason. They were afraid that people of lesser intelligence (which to them meant women, blacks and the poor) would...

murderistic In an economy where it is often the "thrifty" and "money conscious" choice to RENT over own, I don't see how the argument makes any sense. Besides that, the idea that only people of wealth are competent enough to have a voice in choosing their government...

murderistic You could give "at least" excuses to either side. Killing is killing. Enemy soldiers are not the root of the problem in todays world, just as innocent civilians are not the root of the problem in todays world. Ideology is the issue and that's what needs to be...

murderistic I think that the number of sects and denominations within Christianity alone should tell us that we can't simply take what religious leaders say at face value. I was raised in a Protestant church (United Church of Christ). I was raised to believe in infant...

How do you feel when people from other religions, or even other sects within your own religion, evangelize to you? The reason I ask is because I feel like a lot of people, no matter what their religion, feel insulted and...

murderistic I think that the family has every right to be concerned for this child. He is not just learning that Christians are going to hell, he's being raised by his mother to be a radical Muslim terrorist. There is a major difference. Even the boys Muslim father is...

murderistic You certainly do not have to be in a nominal place of worship to be with God. The Jesus says in Matthew 18: "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three...

This is the first of several discussions I have planned, it is for my own curiosity how people of modern faiths react strictly to the symbols of other religions, so please be honest. Look at the symbol and tell me what you think...

murderistic But you also shouldn't forget that while the Bible is inspired by God, Jesus Himself is the Word of God. The Koran is a bit different because in Islam it is the word of God directly from God. We can't really compare the two.

murderistic My point is not that Christianity is nonsense, but it is a FAITH, not a science. If you could prove it, faith wouldn't be necesssary. Hebrews 11:1 - Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. Besides, we should believe in...

murderistic Badfish, I am assuming you are a Christian. As a fellow Christian, I think it's safe to say that we do not have to prove by logic that the Bible is the book of God and that it is accurate. Faith speaks louder than logic. We cannot prove that Christianity is...
