What do Christians have over many of the other religions anyway? The process of them knowing the truth is similar to other religions. How can someone believe Mohummad be wrong and Jesus right? Muslims have similar arguments against athiests but how can they say Koran>Bible? Anyways it's part...

Of course it's limited but I'm pretty sure I have a better idea of Catholic culture than you. In fact I'd probably be arrogant enough to think I'm about in the top 1% in terms of participation in things related to Catholicism. I go to youth group, read at church, been to catholic school for...

The church is made up of people so naturally it will eventually bow to most popular movements. Ages ago, it supported many crusades because it was a comparatively violent time, and you wouldn't see that happen now. There's also the examples of the witches, slavery, and the oppression against...

Na, I go to church every week because I have to and know that most faithful Catholics support gays/condom use and disbelief many of the teachings such as transubstantiation, which i wont explain now, but basically Vatican is conservative not just by external secular standards

Seeing as the Vatican is regarded as conservative by most people, I think very few people would believe in Limbo now.

"A new truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it” Max Planck Iron's narrow mind won't change so just lol at them for now :) Using some of Iron's beliefs, since the unborn are...

It's not punishment, it's self-defence. Don't waste ur sadness on that kid. How many good people die everyday in truly unfair circumstances? Get ur priorities right! The police didn't have alternative options, so what they did was right.

Lol this could be a major debate in itself. U wont change that guys mind, even though most people would agree blacks are more primitive. Live and let live, because I'd make a big bet the racist (watever his name is) wont change his mind.

Dawkins is way too biased. He puts the worst of religion with the best of athiesm. Anyone could have done that. I know many believers who have read it, yet NONE have turned athiest. Readers only see what they want to see. The faithful will see holes in the argument. The nonbelievers would say...

Makes me feel better about complaining, seeing that so many other people agree, and that I can beat the English supporters arguements. Incidently, they are meant to be better than me seeing as they believe they can construct better arguements from what they learn. I haven't seen an...

NB. When I say "something" etc, this refers to the list in this quote. Another of my reasons of why English has survived is that the teachers misguidedly say it should be compulsory and then they use their good ability to manipulate and use words to trick the people arguing against it. Oh...

Lol, I used the word "imperative" because the post near mine used it and it sounded smart, and I don't know about the others, but I am asian. Even if we win the discussion that English should not be compulsory, few minds will be changed. You believers in English will say 'Hmmm, ok', but in...

Re: blue or black pen? Why don't we all just look beyond colour. What matters is that they all can write. There should be no disrcimination on the basis of colour.

Ahhh, your so misguided. In English what you really learn is that it's full of useless stuff. In an essay you have a thesis statement and then back it up with evidence. Good, BUT you ignore all other pieces of evidence that contradicts your idea. In other, far better, subjects you have to use...

If there is no afterlife, all we do here is completely useless as in the end, we we become nothing and all our experiences will dissapear along with us. So we might other peoples lives good but they too in turn will die. If there is no afterlife, there is no ultimate purpose in life. Get rich to...

The reason maths is more popular is that people think it is more imperative to learn than English. But seeing as most teachers are women, and more women like to do English, it will stay a compulsory subject for a long time to come.

If God exists why would he create us? I mean create something just to save them? But if God doesn't exist, then this universe and any others out there just came from nothing? All we know around us has come, ultimately, from nothing if God doesn't exist. God can have always existed because he has...

I don't believe there needs to be a common subject for scaling. But even if there needs to be, the majority clearly want math rather than english. Look at the numbers for extension 1 and 2 for math and english. Math numbers are greater. I noticed that women have more numbers...

When you get older, 1 year is less and less of your life. E.g. If I am 5, then 1 year is 1/5th of my life. That would feel long. When I'm 50, 1 year is 1/50th of my life, so 1 year wont feel so long.

EXACTLY! That's why it shouldn't be compulsory!!!!
