It is illegal in many muslim countries to preach or set up a temple for a different religion.

I would hope that the U.S., a democracy based on the principles of freedom and human rights would surpass countries such as kenya, afghanistan and other third world nations where Islam is largely prevalent in valuing religious freedom.
But I guess if that's where you want to be heading..

I wish people were required to have a shred of education in the origins, nature, and function of religion both in the present and throughout history before they were allowed to comment on it... (This is for both religious and non-religious people.)

I see that you aren't smart enough to read the post I quoted. Here is what it said.

Please try reading before responding, it makes you appear coherent.

Why don't you enlighten us as apparently you know the "purpose" of religion that hundreds of religious scholars can't come to agreement on.

Definitely related.
Mosque developers need to take a hint and stop the construction. If the mosque is constructed, I anticipate that there will be more anti-Islam violence, eg the mosque makes the situation of Muslims in NYC much worse.
Republicans are going to use this mosque issue as ammunition for the coming elections. Given that over 60% of Americans are against the mosque, this is going to bad news for the Obama administration.
Thankfully, we have people in office who follow the LAW. Not some emotion... because EMOTIONS lead to things like the Holocaust.
No wait, you're right, let's fuckin' kill all Muslims and be done with it.

He was obviously being sarcastic, so I figured you were trying to raise a silly point I've seen a couple of times just in the last couple of days. I guess I was mistaken but either way, calm the fuck down you don't have to get offensive.

I hate Islam with a passion, but this is just terrible.

There isn't any legal reason to not build the mosque, I think the muslim gay bar that has been proposed be built right next to it would be the perfect response.

Why don't you learn to read and realize that I did not mention "purpose" in any part of that post? As for the origins, nature, and function of religions, these things can be viewed and analyzed objectively and I doubt you'd find a single credible scholar that would say something so stupid as:
"The world would be better off without religion."
or
"The purpose of religion is _______________."
or
"Religion works because X, Y, and Z."
Whether you agree with religion or not (and there are MANY different religions), it serves various functions in society and has very close ties with the evolution and moral structure of that society. Religion isn't something that someone just sat down one day and decided to construct. It's something that's evolved with us in some form or another for the better part of recorded human history (if not all of it) and not something that could (or even should) be easily stripped away.
The veracity of religious belief is also a non-issue nor is its arbitrary nature. Even from a non-religious standpoint one could certainly value religious texts as literature akin to the many fables so common in our culture that we often use as tools for teaching life lessons and instilling moral structure. Treat religious texts and stories as something that may possibly be deeper and more complex than just tales about a bunch of pious self-righteous "goody two-shoes" people and maybe you'll learn to value them and see that they aren't at all what they're often made out to be.
Just in case you missed all that, I'm not arguing that religion is "right". I'm arguing that even if it's wrong, one could still appreciate it and find value in it. Sadly, religions are often terribly represented by a bunch of idiots that haven't even taken time out to study their own religions or its origins so I can understand if you may find it a bit difficult, particularly given the times we live in where being a Muslim supposedly means you're willing to strap a bomb to your chest for the promise of virgins or being a Christian supposedly means you believe that we were just plopped on the earth out of nowhere and that dinosaur bones were put there by Satan to trick us...

*sigh* another hate crime. I'm really hoping for a time when the hate will stop, because it just seems so irrational. =\

The driver gets stabbed in the arm, NECK and FACE.
Then goes to the police and gets transported to the hospital.
Is in stable condition likely due for a full recovery.
Muslims getting a mad physical damage resistance boost, time to nerf the other races.

I'm very confused by this articleblog?.
Yeah I had to read that twice before I realized that still made no sense.

Translations problems and misinterpretations aside, there's nothing about Christianity that inherently requires you to believe the creation story actually happened the way it's supposedly written. This is a common misconception similar to the belief that all Christians actually belief that Moses parted the Red Sea or that Joshua stopped the Sun... In reality, Christian belief was quite varied in the early days so one could argue what actually defines one as a "Christian" given the variety of these beliefs.

That doesn't make sense to me.. if you don't believe the stories in the Bible, how can you call yourself Christian? Isn't the Bible the "word of God"..?
