More like fear of sinking with the bigger ship that's called the USA.

Religious leaders in theocracies derive their power from people’s belief that the leaders know the thoughts and will of God.
That's a highly misleading way to describe a people of a faith.

It's not what works, but can one make it work. A good manipulator needs nothing. He can always manage like you wouldn't believe.
Wasn't Catholism basically made by a disbeliever?
But there's more than Catholism out there. This

I don't know a single one where that would be applicable. Not even Catholism, imo — nevertheless, if you're going to talk only about Catholism, you should say 'Catholism' instead of 'religion'.

Religion used to be the science of the society. Science is the most accurate story-telling we have. Religion that doesn’t support facts is false religion. Science that doesn’t support facts is pseudoscience. Science is what we can know about the world. Religion should be based on the wisdom gained from what we know about the world and our experience in it. Sorry, wrong thread for such a topic.
Yes — you want a man made religion and an idol. Those were invented long time ago.

But there are many. And - you don't need a church clock to chime the time.
Actually, I don't even know what your trouble is. You have too much time - all of you - to talk empty talk. Do you realize that you are going to die one day?

Yes, the same as Muslims don't need the call to prayer to know what times to pray.
But the Adhan is only 5 times a day. Not every hour.
6 minutes ago, Goddess said:And I have already outlined the reasons why the Islamic call to prayer is very different than church bells chiming the hour.
It must've been one of those long posts of yours I skipped. I know you can't discuss it so I don't see a reason to spend time readying your lengthy copy pastes and ignorant talk.

They usually ring the bells on the hour - 1 ring for 1 pm, 2 rings for 2 pm, etc.
Bell chimes? I thought you said something about Sunday service. The clock is a whole different story. Well.. You do have a phone, don't you.

Hearing the call to prayer ≠ running into the individual who raped you in the past.

I don't believe the division between the "dems" and the republicans to be of significant importance. I.e. I don't care.

Yes. I would think it might be because my first thought was and is that she is mentally unwell/a drug addict/an alcoholist.

these are usually the last words victims of Islamic terrorism hear, which is unsettling to many.
Or "being a victim of terrorism is unsettling to many". I'd like to see some unbiased data on how many PTSD sufferers have a problem with hearing the adhan. Not all traumatic experiences are triggered by just anything somehow related to the traumatic environment.

If an Indo-Canadian wears a turban it's not likely because of something to do with the CPC. More likely it's because of his religion or his parents' culture.
That's narrow-minded and I wonder if you believe it yourself.
An individual is influenced on countless of ways during their life time. Yet, I think, if a particular individual under discussion was poor, had been fired multiple times, lost all his friends and family, drinks away his life and steals to survive, you would be able to make dozens excuses in his defense for just about anything he may have done. You could blame the parents, the society, the friends, the boss, excessive alcohol use in the world in general, capitalism, some other country etc., but if it's a foreigner and not Caucasian — you'll make no excuses but instead you look for extra faults.

Saying words doesn't make an attack a terrorist attack. It is defined according to the motive.

What kind of restrictions?

How is it not sustainable? I get the fair part, but does everything have to be fair to be "sustainable"? Isn't capitalism an example that shows that in short periods of time, e.g. 200 years, unfairness is, technically speaking, sustainable from the point of view of the one who is in a better position?

As far as I know, most mosques have separate prayer "rooms" for men and women. It's a strange example you picked. I'm sure you can understand, if you think about it, that it is not good for men or women to be distracted by the opposite sex while praying.

Nudity in Islam is not a cultural matter. It is a legal matter.

I'm guessing by "he's made it clear" you mean he's never said it, but I could be wrong. You shouldn't gossip about your neighbours.

This is not true, at all, here in the USA when it concerns negros (for example) in the Nation Of Islam.
In places like Harlem NYC or Chicago or Detroit or Houston or Compton CA you can always see groups of young people socializing during events, mixed gender, and that's likely because getting acquainted with a potential mate has to start somewhere long before marriage.
Really - they wear tags?
I never said anything about socialising during events, mixed gender.
And no, it doesn't have to start long before marriage. If you look around the world, you'll see it's true.

That it's false regarding all major religions.
But Catholism was not.
"Norbert Brox, a professor of church history, confirms that Constantine was never actually a converted Christian: “Constantine did not experience any conversion; there are no signs of a change of faith in him. He never said of himself that he had turned to another god . . . At the time when he turned to Christianity, for him this was Sol Invictus (the victorious sun god)” (A Concise History of the Early Church, 1996, p. 48)."

Has someone said that religious leaders are infallible in Christianity? Actually does happen on twelver Shia sect at least. Many of them think their 12 imams are infallible.
To set the laws of the Bible, they needed to do more than be 'spiritual leaders' such as they are considered today.
All authority on earth is temporal.
