I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

The Quran is the only 'revealed' book in existence whose followers believe that its contents are the 'words of Allah' to be obeyed totally, literally and for all time, without any change.
Research these translation do a search for the Surrah verses yourself. you will see this translation from every Islamic scholar
Surrah below
2: 190 Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.
2:191 And slay them wherever ye catch them and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
4:76 Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil: so fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.
9: 5 But when the forbidden months are past then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them and seize them beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
*** This is the first verse in the Quran inciting the followers of Muhammad to start a total war against ALL non believers in Allah AND in his messenger Muhammad***
9: 29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His apostle nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are) of the People of the Book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.
9: 30 The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth!
What a scared putz
Buy Gas Guzzlers... Lol
Really wish there was a way to let the people there know what's going on and that atheists here are likely more their allies than anything else.
Still is for some people.
I often hear people call other people "communist socialists". My follow up is usually, "ok, which one though?". Ahh, words...
Unfortunately the truth seems to be Oil wells regenerate themselves from rock formation in the earths core. The notion that petroleum is abiotic (not related to living organisms) in origin has been accepted as scientific fact in the former Soviet Union for 50 years, yet Western science clings to the contradictory fossil fuel theory.
This is no idle academic debate.
If the Russians are right, oil regenerates deep within the Earth and there is no looming fuel shortage. (Russia, Scandinavia and Norweg)
Guess I won't be vacationing in Saudi 😁

They are simply introducing such laws in order to appeal to Islamists in their own country, so such a revolution can be prevented.
Meanwhile, they sit in their golden palaces, driving Ferrari's and Lambroghini's, rape their foreign maids, eat kaviar, and secretly drink alcohol behind closed doors.
Everyone knows that that is how it really is in Saudia Arabia.
Not to mention the fact the universe began to exist and it was discovered proves Genesis 1:1 was correct before the scientists were. Thus a proof to support belief in God! Thus, not a figurative thought but a realistic application.
Atheism is not an outright claim that there is absolutely no god.
When I, and many others, speak of atheism, we refer to a tentative belief that there are no gods. This is subject to change pending new evidence.
The need for certainty is unnecessary, and unwarranted.
The creation account in genesis says the universe began. The creation account in the Bhagavid Gita says the universe began. The creation account in Norse mythology says the universe began. The creation account in most religions says the universe began. Does that mean that all religions had discovered this, that they are all right?
Which makes it all the weirder that point #2 is straight out of whackadooville...
just because you were taught oils is from dead dinosaurs and vegetation is an assumption not a truth. "fossil fuel" theory
A theory first floated by Russian scholar Mikhailo Lomonosov in 1757.
Russian academics, led by Nikolai Kudryavtsev, suggested that hydrocarbons (from which oil derives) are generated deep within the Earth from inorganic materials.

some oil fields seem to be re-filling almost as fast as they are being drained. The Wall Street Journal reported the case of Eugene Island 330, an oil field in the Gulf of Mexico, which hit peak production of 15,000 bpd, slowing to 4,000 a day by 1989.
"Then suddenly -- some say almost inexplicably -- Eugene Island's fortunes reversed. The field... is now producing 13,000 bpd, and probable reserves have rocketed to more than 400 mm barrels from 60 mm. Stranger still, scientists studying the field say the crude coming out of the pipe is of a geological age quite different from the oil that gushed 10 years ago."
Scientists observing the phenomenon say the oil field was being topped up from below, through a complex system of fissures and geological faults. According to Dave McGowan of the Centre for an Informed America, this is not news to Russian and Ukrainian scientists, who have published hundreds of academic papers on the abiotic origins of oil.
Western scientists have attempted to leap the evidentiary gulf by claiming that oil can be both organic and abiotic in origin, but not according to J.F. Kenney, an American who studied with the Russians and replicated in a laboratory the chemical processes occurring within the Earth's upper mantle.
It appears the Saudis could never run out.
Nothing more nothing less?
I don't know if these petitions do anything but on the premise they so, I suggest signing it
Don't you ever get tired of embarrassing yourself?
To believe such stupidities not only discredits our species, but discredits the ability to reason and the courage of the one hawking such nonsense.
Hell, I'm pushing 63 now with the shadow of death growing ever closer. And though I don't welcome the demise of my ego with brain death, I'm not running to the fraud of religion like a panicked little bitch. To do so would be premature brain death.
As for Genesis, its the equivalent of a red Indian camp fire story, certainly not knowledge given the ridiculously wrong claims it makes. And then the rest of the book continues with such ridiculous assertions.
I'm guessing you were brought up in a religious household and went to religious school in a religious state and all your family and friends are religious and none of you are able to understand how anyone can doubt the Bible. I suggest you actually read it and think about what it says
They only seem to act in order to please the religious in their country. For those ofcourse it does have to do with atheism.
Still waiting for a "debate" from Hey Atheists Debate Me IF you CAN TROLL....
But I am very glad to hear you are not a Creationist:-)

That's all the ignorance it takes to make such big mistakes.
