Remember, no group is ever perfectly homogeneous, so every group has factions within it. It will usually be difficult for people external to a group to accurately identify faction members within that group. And if it's difficult, many people won't make the effort to do it.<br /><br />In the particular case of Islam, efforts to curtail the extremists seems to often be conflated by people in the larger, more moderate group, as an attack on that larger group. And the actions of the extremists often seem to have some level of approval from the moderate group's leaders. Thus leading me to the obvious conclusion that both moderate Muslims and extremist Muslims share a common group. I suspect this is a view shared (rightly or wrongly) by the majority of non-Muslims.web development Dubaihttp://www.go-gulf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337536679221777590.post-20968424318316074402009-03-21T07:06:00.000Z2009-03-21T07:06:00.000ZHow could you possible miss out Brainfuck?CryptWizardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14253276394108200211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337536679221777590.post-2849987742198154612009-03-06T01:42:00.000Z2009-03-06T01:42:00.000Zhare krishna ~ pascal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337536679221777590.post-7317491315319454102009-03-06T01:39:00.000Z2009-03-06T01:39:00.000ZMaybe assembly could be related to tribal religions, with its low level, primitive commands.

It was hard. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Now to the ongoing athiest/agnostic/religion discussion I would add this: Despite what people may say or think, my Faith (with a capital F) is very empirical in its teachings.<BR/><BR/>We are taught to believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.<BR/><BR/>But belief isn't a requirement to begin. We are taught to test gods existence through prayer, and if the theory of Gods existence is supported by our results, we can (as long as His existence isn't disproven) use prayer as a way to test other tenets.<BR/><BR/>I am not always the best example of Mormonism, but I can tell you that as religions go, it meshes very comfortably with the scientific method.<BR/><BR/>I have had answers to my prayers. I am satisfied that God not only exists, but is still making miracles in the lives of those who love and serve Him. I know and am known by Him. This is the opposite of Agnosticism.Chemishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06461407332061335614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337536679221777590.post-55409758181510720392009-01-26T15:14:00.000Z2009-01-26T15:14:00.000ZAnonymous: You miss something: to be able to love, you need freedom. There's no such thing as constrained love. In this freedom, we can chose God, or not. That's why the man can fall. I know a case: someone in former Romanian comunist jails, jew, said: God, I know that You don't exist, but if You do, please help me......years later, after he was close to death in the prison, but saved by his fellows, he became christian, and pastor, when released. He said that he met saints in those jails. No metaphors.

It was very funny and quite true in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>When I saw the reactions I really thought that people are really taking this too seriously, and putting meaning where there is none.<BR/><BR/>Religion is also becoming a "passionate" topic and I sometimes feel we are going back to ages where religion was the the center of everyone life and the only truth. This is most disturbing when we think our fathers decided that was enough and separated religion and executive power, public schools started to teach science instead of creationism. And now we feel we are going back again. Same mistakes, same dark ages ?<BR/><BR/>Regards.Richard Lopeshttp://sili.co.nz/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337536679221777590.post-69599926279001385832009-01-08T06:23:00.000Z2009-01-08T06:23:00.000ZThis atheist does not "believe" there is no god. This atheist simply does not accept the proposition of the existence of any gods due to lack of evidence.<BR/><BR/>The various holy books are no more relevant to the discussion than the works of H.P. Lovecraft or J.R.R. Tolkien.<BR/><BR/>Agnostics are missing their gonads.<BR/><BR/>To be intellectually consistent, one must give the exact same credence to ALL gods ever conceived. Based on the evidence, if one is to believe in the Abrahamic god, one must also accept the existence of the gods of the Eqyptians, Babylonians, Norse, Native Americans, Aboriginese, Inuits, Buddhists, Hindus, etcetera and so on. To do otherwise is to commit the fallacy of special pleading.<BR/><BR/>Given the contradictory nature of the collected religions of man, there is only one reasonable conclusion. They can't all be right, but they can all be wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337536679221777590.post-25503571206115592382009-01-08T00:27:00.000Z2009-01-08T00:27:00.000ZSo what doe that make me as a Business Analyst and Project Manager??<BR/><BR/>Should I look at myself and other Project Managers a some sort of church organisation?
