At the bottom, there is some news that hit the paper today regarding the kid who tried to blow up a plane Xmas Day...his dad called the US Embassy in Nigeria giving them the heads up his son had been brainwashed...
It's clear Al Qaeda prays on the weak of mind and easily influenced. They promise them if they kill us and die for Allah, their pimp hand becomes instantly strong with a harem of 40 virgins...desperate people want to believe anything...because you never see any of the people recruiting sticking a bomb down their pants...that's for sure
I'm comfortable any God is not going to hand the souls of 40 virgins over to a shithead who just killed innocent people...call me a nut
I'm also comfortable (here is where I'll catch some grief) our God does not require people to throw money in a collection plate to get a ticket to heaven...when it was revealed that Catholic priests were taking liberties with altar boys...don't think for one minute the hierarchy didn't know about it...of course they did...the reason they just transferred the problem priests was because they had a shortage of them...they needed priests to perform services so they could pass the plate around...it was all about the money...
My point is while we can't conceive of anybody thinking there could possibly be 40 virgins at the end of the hall if we kill innocent people...sending clergy to another community to molest other children and ruin lives, just so they could pass a plate around aint much better...if we're being truthful...
faith - complete confidence or trust
So, we have a gozillion Muslims and a gozillion Christians...both have totally different stories (written by men I might add) and insist the other is wrong...of course there is no way to prove who is right or who is wrong...but at a minimum, and there is no disputing this, at least one group is wrong...and we'll leave it at that...
Check the link out below...pretty interesting I think.

"More details emerged about contacts between Abdulmutallab’s father and the US Embassy in Nigeria. In October, presumably while in Yemen, Abdulmutallab spoke by telephone with his father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a retired banker. His father was so alarmed by his son’s radical talk that he contacted Nigerian officials, who advised him to contact the US Embassy.
Mutallab visited the embassy on Nov. 19 and told officials his son had been radicalized, was missing, and might be in Yemen, said a State Department spokesman, P.J. Crowley. Crowley said Mutallab did not say he believed his son planned to attack Americans, but expressed general concern about his radical views.
The information was taken seriously, Crowley said, but was judged insufficient to warrant revoking Abdulmutallab’s visa, although his file was flagged for investigation if he reapplied. Embassy officials representing several security agencies discussed the information Nov. 20 and sent a cable to Washington. His name was added to a database of 550,000 names with suspicion of terrorist ties, but did not go onto the 4,000-person no-fly list"
