sometimes I get conflicting emotions when I see stuff like this, I get made because of what they are doing and raping there brains with but then I get to see them in the church praying/singing with there hands in the air and eyes closed and I laugh, sometimes uncontrolably. How stupid does that look, talking to santa for more presents when your a full grown adult.

"I suffered through horrifying moments, expecting to be killed. I was convinced that no cosmic rescuer would same me. Besides, I believed life after death was merely wishful thinking. There were times when I expected to suffer a painful, agonizing death. My frustration and anger at being caught in a dilemma of life-and-death situations simply infuriated me. Hearing the sound of bullets whistling through the air and popping near my ears was damned scary. Fortunately, I was never physically wounded." - Philip Paulson

You Christians and your love of bestiality...

Amazing how someone can take a comment, out of context to place their own view upon it. Perhaps you're simply covering up for your own moral weakness with projection?

Not to mention, without even knowing someone they attempt to take a high ground believing someone to be of a religious background, stumbling blindly in the dark, falling on their own narcissistic personality.

Actually, lets look at it differently since the world isn't black, and white as much as people like to try.

We can look at that quote, and compare it to my comment. The belief that there is no god, or higher power holds true. The fact that you're facing your own morality is the true test of ones mettle. It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in a higher power or not. The saying that I gave above applies as such:

When faced with death, you look to whatever you're faced with, and make the view with whatever you seem to believe in. No more, no less. Whether that's a higher power, or to nothing at all. While you realize that everything in your life can be for naught, and you're powerless in it. Welcome to the wonderful world of 'reading' more then what actually exists in a sentence.

Some would call that philosophy.

Al Jihad doesn't overtly mention who is urging these soldiers to share their faith. It's not official government policy, so no story.

Not shown: mighty atheist outrage over Muslim schools using public funds in Detroit.
