worldnetdaily.com — An atheism-promoting organization has withdrawn its lawsuit demanding that Christian baptisms of children be banned in Italy, after a U.S.-based legal team took on the defense of a bishop and the Roman Catholic Church there. -All parents have the right to raise their children in their religious tradition, which obviously includes baptism.

Give me a break, you would like to sell tickets... Stop clowning around with nonsense. But you are not correct again, "my method" is not what you say. You wrongly assume, that morality, responsibility, respect and so on, are invented by or derived from religion. Preferably your religion of course, your system of beliefs in the supernatural. Take note: Morality does not come from sacred scriptures. It was developed trough millions of years of evolution.I'll tell you, I don't expect that religious parents stop teaching their doctrine to their children. We are far from that, for now. Go ahead, teach your child what you want, but you should tell, if you are honest to yourself and to your child, that your world view does not have a monopoly on truth. You should not teach that only your group is the only and the chosen one and you should not teach that science is a hoax. I hope we agree with something here.

Equinox...."The laws in the bible were taken from Babylonian/Assyrian laws written long before the first Torah"Huh?You know, GOD told NOAH what was right and wrong, and what foods were "clean" and "unclean" (healthy / unhealthy) Looooong before He had it written down for the Hebrews. In fact, God told a LOT of people what was right and what was wrong, and he gave each person a conscience (which is why you have internal discernment, should you choose to engage it; it's NOT evolution!), and they blew Him off. The Babylonians and Assyrians were latecomers.

"There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you -- who are you to judge your neighbor?"bioya1, you are a disgusting example of a "Christian" and a perfect example of a hateful liar."...if you know the good you ought to do, and do not do it, you have sinned."You disgrace Christ and pure Christianity. IF you actually are a Christian you KNOW that you have been commanded to love your neighbor, and to be a light to the world, spreading the good news of great joy. You have failed at this call to action, and instead choose to foster hatred, and stir up trouble.You are an abomination to this faith. You are a deceiver, for no true follower of Christ would act as you do. There is no love in you, only spite and ungrounded superiority. You are a Pharisee.

trogdoor,Here you go: <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/political_opinion/The_Fowl_Atheist?t=16898397#c16989930">http://digg.com/political_opinion/The_Fowl_Atheist ...</a>SQLDigger is a much smarter guy than his brief comments can express, and is fully capable of tackling anything I can throw at him seriously and respectfully. While I'm sure there are some foolish Diggers that comment on these religion threads, I have confidence that several of the people who post regularly are intelligent people who have more in common with each other than they think. We shouldn't degrade ourselves and each other by bickering. Many of us hold conflicting positions, but this conflict should end with the position and not the person.

What a surprisingly malevolent thing for a supposedly all loving God to do.Tell me this, Einstein. If God is all powerful he can therefore see all that has happened and all that will happen. He knows the destiny of all men.Why would he then create some to just send to Hell?
