The hurt that religions do results from the adherent's blind acceptance of fanciful stories and traditions. Most Atheists are vehemently opposed to all religions. It is an exercise in futility as well as being a notion steeped in ignorance, to blame the victim of any hoax. Atheism promotes that young people should not be indoctrinated into a particular monotheistic system. Children have no intellectual defence against such authorative adult methods.

We don’t. We do think that it is at least arguable that belief in gods is irrational and that social policy based on belief in the supernatural is absurd and potentially dangerous. Besides, as a band and as regular dudes involved in activism, we’ve worked with religious groups on a variety of human-rights issues since day one. So please be so kind to go pull your ‘poor-persecuted-Christian’ routine somewhere else, OK? Thanks.

It's porous, which means it holds bacteria; it can't be autoclaved, which means it can't be sterilized; aaaaaaaaand it gives off toxic gas. Add to that the ease with which it breaks and you've got yourself the reason some people hate it. Amy doesn't mind it in a healed piercing, as long as the person using it knows the potential problems. It is your body and we will not tell you no. . .generally.

Most often feelings of hate are based on ignorance, misunderstanding, and fear of the unknown. And it may not be so much "hate" as disapproval of certain conduct. Attitudes often change with education, and after meeting gay people and understanding halacha, most people will accept the fact that a person is gay. It may also help to remind them that Hillel said: Ve-al tadin et chavercha ad she-tagia li-mkomo (Pirke Avos 2:5) (Do not judge your fellow until you are in his place.

What are your politics? (Translation: Doesn't evolutionary psychology have a crypto conservative political agenda?)

First get a job at a nursing home. Nursing homes have lots of senile old people too alzheimered out to rat on you. Note: we do not condone nor recommend torturing old people. Rather we prefer someone else to humanely slaughter them so we can eat them. Depending on the amount of hatred running through your veins you can try these fun options: The old laxative in the milk bit (just remember, you'll probably have to wipe that ass later unless you time it for shift change).

unlike other social networking sites, ifhy teams you up with "friends of your enemy". the more people you hate the more accurate and full your possible friends list becomes. this list is built up automatically with people who hate the same people you hate. check out the manage friends area to see all your possible friends or when browsing profiles if you see "add to friends" link on their profile you know they hate some of the same people you hate.

Computational complexity, bandwidth, delay, and picture buffer size are the four B-frame Pet Peeves. Computational complexity is increased since a some macroblock modes require averaging between two macroblocks. Worst case, memory bandwidth is increased an extra 16 MByte/s (601 rate) for this extra prediction. An extra picture buffer is needed to store the future prediction reference (bi-directionality).

No, we love Cakewalk™ products, and generally like the company. The company's handling of their discontinuation of the newsgroup made a bunch of us feel unwanted. This newsgroup is a Sonar user community.

I have thought about this a great deal actually, and I have come to the conclusion that people don't really fear flying itself, but that they have a number of other fears that are associated with flying such as the fear of heights or the fear of being trapped in a closed place. I think that for many people there is a fear of crashing and dying. For some people, I have discovered, that the fear of flying is actually tied to a fear of leaving home and leaving a familiar place.

Over the years, hundreds of thousands of people have been shown the techniques of Knowledge. Some people found it was not for them and moved on. Sadly, not all people are able to take responsibility for their own life choices. Remarkably, these detractors allegedly left the practice of Knowledge in the late 1970's /early 1980's but are still obsessed with Maharaji and the practice of Knowledge almost 30 years later.

Although their attacks against Maharaji, his students, and the organizations that promote his message are fanatical, outwardly these people appear quite ordinary. This contributes to their ability to dupe others, including the occasional media person. Only a few give their actual names when they post to their web-site, most maintaining various anonymous personae.

Sociologists and mental health experts have speculated about the reasons for Internet-based hate. Understanding the motives that lead to obsessive hate-mongering is difficult. Historically, most voices for peace have been targets of violent reactions. Gandhi and Rev. Martin Luther King were assassinated. Even Mother Teresa was attacked by a British journalist as a "self-serving egotist" engaged in money laundering.

People believe that they have the truth and that others are born sinners who may contaminate them. Its like racial prejudice in a different form.

We do have people of all religious backgrounds registering with us. However, should you wish to know more specifically about any background or particular caste perhaps, then please feel free to contact us.

Tolerance means assuming the people you disagree with are honest and well meaning. It doesn't mean all opinions have equal merit or that no one is right. As Dorothy Parker said, "If two people agree, one of them is unnecessary." Rabbi Aryeh Levin lived in Israel during the British Mandate. One Shabbat, he was walking in the streets of Jerusalem when a secular Israeli came toward him, smoking a cigarette.

Well, I don't think of myself as religious, but to put it simply, God is my life. If I didn't have a feeling that I could pray, simply talk to God in my mind, any time, day or night, I don't see how I could live. It comforts me to know that no matter what is happening, no matter where I am, no matter how I feel, I can call upon God in my mind and he will help me-and others.

It never ceases to amaze us when an otherwise "normal" person ignores the very real suffering of the thousands of victims of true hatred and intolerance on our list and accuses us of being a "hate site" merely because we memorialize the plight of victims and call for an end to Islamic terror.

You guys believe there is no God, but you can't prove that there isn't. So being an atheist obviously requires at least as much faith as being a Christian.

Bill is very knowledgeable about the world of video; I think he must spend half his life pouring over press releases, USENET posts and various rumour mill publications to get his information. However, Bill is a creature of the present. If CANON comes up with a great video camera, he will be the first to sing its praises. If there is then a problem with CANON's camera, he will immediately say that it's a piece of junk and CANON should be crucified for selling it.

The above mentioned plugins are broken crap and should be avoided. Nobody has volunteered to re-write those plugins, so any improvement in this situation seems quite unlikely. Whatever may be the case, do not ask us/complain about them. Using Gentoo? These are related to russian character set patch added by Gentoo packagers to the XMMS package they distribute. To solve the problem, please remove ALL the patches added and recompile XMMS. Or install a vanilla version from tarball.

The term "bot" is short for "robot". You can often come across these on IRC. A bot is a detached irc process which simulates another irc client. Some bots serve as repositories for files, or useful data, or conduct games. Dumb bots only do mode changes. Harmful bots fork clone copies of themselves or flood the irc network with garbage (clonebots/floodbots). These are almost universally hated. Most bots on IRC are a nuisance, even though their owners find their invention "cool".

Computational complexity, bandwidth, end-to-end delay, and picture buffer size are the four B-frame Pet Peeves. Computational complexity in the decoder is increased since some macroblock modes require averaging between two block predictions (macroblock_motion_forward==1 && macroblock_motion_backward==1). Worst case, memory bandwidth is increased an extra 15.

There tend to be two major schools of thought on this. People hate Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, because: On the first count, harsh people with long memories are not going to soften their opinion of a character's bad behavior. To them it is simple: Scott left his wife and child to run off after his first love in X-Factor #1. For the record, Madelyne did issue him an ultimatium and they had been having marital problems.

We don’t. Some of our best friends don’t drink or smoke or take drugs. And some of our best friends do.

Nobody likes to step in dog poop. But dog poop will be more controlled if confined to a certain area, not allowed to collect on citizens' lawns, go into storm drains and into our waterways. Poop from off-leash dogs will be picked up more than that of dogs on leash because we have user groups who want to keep their dog area open and legitimate. People walking their dogs on leash have less reason to pick up their dog feces.

Dental phobia is a severe fear of the dentist that over time causes loss of teeth because of the patient's inability to go to the dentist and receive regular care. The heart of the matter is that dental phobia can rob patients of their self esteem as they become embarrassed about the appearance of their teeth and withdraw from friends, coworkers and loved ones.
