It is my understanding that the word fear in the bible means reverence. In that sense to have faith in God would also mean to hold God in reverence.

Is that a for or against atheism?

That would only work for me if those committing the murders are actually Christian or, at least, identify themselves as such. just because someone lives in a predominately Christian Country doesn't mean they are.

Curious as to your definition of "normal" Western society..

Why would you say that? Why would a Christian be more likely to kill you than a Muslim? Because of your beliefs? What you eat?

I've known people from around he world that would use any excuse to engage in toxic behavior, it just gets worse with religion and politics...

Perhaps you may be correct Joe..

Some yes and some no DA, Just like I have similar thoughts about people across the board. The attitude of the person and how they handle themselves in any aspect of their life is what people see, and I hate to say it, but judge them. I place little stock with pretty much anything on facebook any...

We all have our opinions on that wil...the way one follows their book seems different from the way the other does, or one faction of the other..

Let's face it wil, in todays world it would seem as though Christians and Muslims at least in the secular world have a God with different Modus Operendi.

just an up in the air common usage my friend....

Holy smokes DA, it would seem as though there is another point where we can actually come to some sort of consensus. Religion and Science must co-exist. Could it not very well be that Science has explained Gods intent on many things?

That is my point Joe. Your God (Allah) and my God (I AM) are not men and never were.

A true skeptic -vs- a true believer......

DA, Do you not know levity when you see it....Wow that's tight.....:-)
