1. In God's Name

War in UK in 30-40 years is sure a provocative statement.

Sadly that seems to be the standard procedure in countries that gain a muslim majority.

I don't see how the demographic trends would change in coming years, or how the majority of muslims would turn secular. As it seems, the new generations are growing more radical than their parents. How could this be changed, when societies are welcoming saudi funded preachers, and natives are fleeing by hundreds of thousands to Australia and NZ.

Why is comparing Allah to Satan disgusting? Maybe it's a bit harsh for the Satan, afterall he is supposed to have given us the knowledge, but they are both just imaginary friends.

3. Evolution: What is 'Natural'?

Oh, you are just trying to make a simple thing too complicated.

Should societies be run by Newtonian morals? Should light people be above heavy people in society, because newtonian laws keeps society from floating into space?

Darwinian mechanics gave us our instincts, reasoning, and morals. We can research these mechanics and take them in account when we make policies and use our evolved morals and reasoning to decide, what kind of societies we should build.

Of course we can fight the evolutionary mechanics the same way we can fight Newton's laws when sending people to the Moon.

Everybody knows that Stalin was a PACIFIST. We know this because he killed most of he's generals.

6. Bart Ehrman, Questioning Religion on Why We Suffer

If you remove all the god worship from the book of Ecclesiastes, thats pretty much something from buddhism. Intrestingly, at the same time BoE was written, greek philosophers were getting in touch with indian philosophers and starting new schools, as Alexander the Great invaded Asia.

Maybe an agnostic needs a better definition? One, that does not believe in god, but believes in Hell? Or one, that does not believe in god, but believes in religion (people are too stupid to think for themself)?
