lol "witch trials". Humans arent that stupid anymore. And I was actually going to mention the war between Israel and Palestine and I find it stupid. They have been fighting for soooo long. They should just accept each others religions and quit. However, I'm not in their situations and I don't know what it's like over their so I can't really have an opinion :/

Read both comics, and there was one thing that I wanted to point out that never seems to come up in conversation for some reason.

The restrictions against depicting the prophet Muhammad in art only applies to Muslims, and had the intent of ensuring he didn't become deified over the years as the religion spread and changed. Sort of the exact opposite of how it ended up. But those who would harm another over this misconception are just as ignorant of their own religion as their Judeo-Christian extremist counterparts, and it bears remembering that both are in the extreme minority of their respective religions.

im 15 and i drink not much just for the taste

im in a country where gay people can marry
we can ask the doctor to kill us
we smoke pot and it is allowed
we can have a abortion

im pro sex before merriage because its fun
and there are somany things to keep from getting pregnant

any religon focussus too much at controlling
or having people who only read books about god
telling you how to live your life

alot of the religions are also outdated while they try to look new by using social media

its a drive yes
it was a insperation for many things

but it has also always divided the people
not only in war

and people still perform witch hunts

I can understand why the artist might not have wanted to do that, remember the incident with the teddy bear a few years ago?

We Christians don't look at doing what we believe god tells us to do as a burden. I mean, come on, we believe that he suffered to pay for the sins of every person who ever lived and will ever live and then died on a cross. The least we can do is do what he tells us to do through the bible.

DISCLAIMER: I have nothing against religions, but I do not agree with the fanatics, they ruin it for everyone

EDIT: also did Jesus die, seeing as he is immortal and a god and all that, didn't he just respawn?

In my religion we don't believe Jesus is God. Nowhere in the bible does it say Jesus is God. It says Jesus is God's son. We believe Jesus was sent by God to pay for man's sins because he volunteered to, like it says in genesis. When he was born he took on a mortal form because his mission obviously couldn't be completed without dying. Now he watches over us in heaven. Same thing with the holy ghost or holy spirit or whatever everybody else calls him. He's not God. Hes another dude who gave up mortality to comfort and inspire people in times of need. In my opinion, the "trinity" doesn't make sense.

nope. I don't even know what Jehova's Witnesses believe other than the fact that they are Christians.
