depends on what you mean by non-believers. If we are being one religion specific, then those who believe other holy books use that.

If we are talking about non-believers, as in Atheists and Agnostic, there is no holy book, a there have been atheists/agnostics who have done things that would be considered evil. Many people look at Stalin, and say "this is what happens when you put an atheist in charge" when in reality what should be said is "that is what happens when you give one person too much power"

As my signature says on other message board: "Without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion. "- Steven Weinberg

There are so many people out there that do bad things in the name of god, we will look at the example of those people who have killed abortion clinic doctors. With Religion, they bring up scriptures that defend their actions, and claim to have done gods work, take religion completely out of the picture, and those people have no excuse for what they have done.

Like I brought up in another thread, If I were to come to you, and say that I killed someone, if you don't tell the authorities, you go down as an accessory to murder. Why should I priest be able to not tell, when it would result in jail-time for you?

As long as the Holy books stated to kill those who don't belief as you, it does have to do with religion.

IF Christianity is just about the teachings of Jesus, why have the OT in the bible? IF Christianity is just about the teachings of Christ, why not get rid of all those stories that really have nothing to do with Jesus?

It doesn't take religion to see those actions as bad actions, and all it really shows is that our morals have moved past religion, and yet the majority of us can't.

I may sound like a broken record, but I will continue to do so, and long as Muslims kill random people, because "allah" is in another cartoon, or they don't agree with a book. I will continue to do so as long as those priest who molested don't get charged, and continue to just get re-located, without the new parish being informed, as long as someone can get away with murder, by confessing to a priest.

There is plenty of blood on Religion's hands, and I will be a broken record, until we stop pretending it's not there.

That is nothing more than a cop-out.

In every other aspect of life, people can realize that evils can be done, and that the person perpetrating the evils really beliefs in what they are doing. Religion is the only thing that uses the "not a true believer" cop-out.
A lot of the atrocities that have been committed throughout History, in the name of Religion, have done due to a literal translation of the holy book.

It is long past time for Religion to give up this false shelter, and to take the blame it deserves.

yeah, like those people "questioned" by the Spanish Inquisition, or all those minors who were molested by their priests...

Let's not leave out the Spanish Inquisition, the Witch Trials...
Not to mention all the things we know now to be fact, that was deemed untrue, and blasphemous against the church...

Preaching Against something, while secretly doing it isn't just "sin". It's called being a hypocrite.

Corinthians 11:14
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

Like I brought up in another thread, you have the Egyptian God Horus getting the title "KRST" at least 1000 prior to jesus coming onto the scene...

Then of course you have the Rev. Ted Haggard, preaching about how Homosexuality is a sin, then meeting up with his gay hooker in a hotel room, and doing speed, while engaging in homosexual sex...

Answering the question seriously, I think it's a combination of too many parents letting someone/something else raise their kids, and the amount of drugs going through society. The pressure on Doctors to hand out Drug Company X's new drug is so much, that at this point society(the children included) are over medicated.

I would guess either what Nyteflame said, or they were hoping that their audience was not going to be as observant as you were.

In all honesty, I would like to see some of the original articles on this story. If the people were originally looking for just a moment of silence, I have no problem with it, and others are over-reacting, however, if this was initially pushed as a daily prayer time, and the moment of silence is what they "negotiated" down to, I would have a big problem with it, because I do view trying to establish a daily prayer time in public schools as forcing ones beliefs on others.

No, to them it is a Belief. Not a fact, not True. There is no "True for Me/You" Something is either true, or it is false.

My Counter-Argument is right in front of you, yet you chose to ignore it.
The Events of the crucifixion of Jesus, and his supposed resurrection are only found in the bible. That is only one source of information. With only one source of this information, you cannot claim it has fact.
Personally, I feel that IF those events did take place, then we would have not just the bible, but Many more sources of accounts of these events from the Romans.
Also the facts that Jesus can't be properly placed in History(Most Christians believe that he lived from 0-33AD. But there is a significant percentage that feel he lived 100 year prior to that time period, 100-67BC)
And, because of events in the NT, that have been historically documented through other sources, we know that at the earliest, the NT was written after 70AD. At best, that leaves a 37 year gap, at worst(IF he lived) that leaves a 137 year gap between his death, and people writing about him.

And I don't have a problem with anyone trying to learn about others beliefs. I do have a problem with people looking at the Holy Books and saying that the events on the pages are Facts when there is no other source for those events other than the holy book. When someone is claiming something to be fact, that isn't their belief, that is misinformation. Also, the "It's true because you can't prove it isn't true" argument is a BS argument.

Many of the forgeries seemed to be legit to. Until they were proven to be otherwise.

2 things.
1. Like was pointed out to you the last time you came here, brought up the "facts" and then disappeared, The reason you haven't "heard" a counter-argument is because you ignore any counter argument made.
2. These "facts" are only found in the bible. That is one source. One source does not a fact make.

Seems to me the only "imterpret"-ation being made is by you, trying to make those "appear" nicer than they are. All the OP did was take lines from the Bible. I don't see him, anywhere in his post, saying what those lines mean.
