Sharia Law - "She's buried chest high"

Religion of Peace my ass, Savage laws of a Savage Religion.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

This is the trouble with using people as a commodity in the desperate preservation of an inhuman status quo; sooner or later, you're going to run out of people.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Maybe sleepy can give us his take on this
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Give them a couple thousand years and they might be as civilized and tolerant as conservative Christians here in America are now... or maybe not.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I watched this video the other day from start to finish and couldn't get myself to find the words to comment. I still can't. It speaks for itself. I'm going to post it on my atheist group's page. We just got a new "agnostic-muslim" member. I'm curious to see what he has to say.

I prefer when the religious exhort their beliefs. Not act upon them. Who else agrees?
Beautiful poem by the way.

What drives me insane about it is when secular people in America will claim that every group has it's extremists. Do you know what Fred Phelps and his ilk would be in the middle east? Moderates. Islam is out of control, MORE out of control by far than any other religious group.
