I would have infinitely more respect for Christianity if it was kept absolutely out of my Government. I have high disrespect for people that claim to be Christian to avoid social stigma, and I know it to be common in US politics.. The consensus is that the US will in no time soon have another atheist president.
Kudos, France.
Read The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.
christinaity has caused a lot of problems today and in the past but with every religion there is always one or more people who take it too far thats why you get things like exorcisms and (in the case of islam) suicide bombers.

Possibly off-topic but, human blood is considered a biohazard to those that work with it. I think urine is considered a biohazard as well, but not considered nearly so dangerous.
how can urine be a bio-hazard? isn't it completeley germ free and act as an antiseptic? although i wouldn't recomend using that as a antiseptic!
To solve this, atheism for the win!!!
For the women who are tired of being supressed, join the atheist brigade!

The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this:
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument isn't worth a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid from making a fortune with his book Well That About Wraps It Up For God.
Hi I am a Christian, and everything in the Bible is true.
God loves us, and gave his son so we might live.
I also have autism and aspergers syndrome as well.
I don't blame God for that either.
There is a reason why we have aspergers syndrome and autism: God uses it for his glory.
Through our weakness we are made strong
We don't have to understand the bible and stuff, its more just having faith and thats all.

The Comma. it is your friend.
as is the Paragraph,people will take you more seriously if you have some sembalance of grammar and syntax
however, I must question that blind faith of yours; have you actually, you know, read the Bible, cover to cover?
it..it doesnt make sense....it constantly contradicts itself...
For example, the belief phase space still contains the possibility of atheism, the possibility of god (though not under a strict christian model, without improbable extenuating conspiracies), the possibility of my own set of beliefs, the possibility of the flying spaghetti monster, and the possibility that I'm in a coma somewhere hallucinating everything.
Kindly stay there; I am quite happy existing, thank you very much.
also, May You Be Touched By His Noodly Appendages.

That sounds like Terry Pratchett
it was Douglas Adams, the guy who wrote "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"
Iriver_s10,
They *did* find the ossuary containing what are alleged to be the Bones of Jesus... :-)
Along those lines, what if God's plan was for the Second Coming to occur at a time when Jesus would return by having the DNA from His bones regenerated and cloned, and Christians *prevented* it from happening by making sure cloning was banned?
