    How are you going with your preparation for demonstrating that homosexuality is chosen?  I should think just a couple of days of you choosing to be gay would demonstrate your point beyond reasonable doubt.

    Stuart


    Are you saying that a person does not choose to act on what they feel?

    There are people predisposed to violence, don't these people have a choice of acting or not acting?


    No, indeed it was YOU who claimed that, when you wrote:

    Quote
    Sexual orientation is chosen just like every physical act

    Sexual orientation is not a sexual act, is it.

    Stuart


    Homosexuality is not Homosexuality without the SEX is it?

    You're the one doing the talking BD. Why don't you just carry on talking. That will much the same effect as you talking and me replying.

    Ms. O'Leary (the convert to islam in the video) said in a speech:

    Islam is a very inclusive path. It never claims exclusive access to God or to paradise.

    On Rate My Professor she is getting some pretty high “Hotness” ratings. The section of the film showing her hajj (from National Geographic, wasn't it?) shows her dressing modestly for the trip to Mecca. Do you think she might have forgotten to “dress modestly” for her students?

    Do you think she really understands the requirements of her new delusion?

    Isn't she lucky to have the option to change religion! I wonder what she thinks about all the muslim women in the world who would expect to be ostracised or even killed for trying the opposite conversion.

    What is the point of these conversion videos? People change their mind all the time. I de-converted from Christianity. What does that prove? It proves that individuals can change their mind. It does not mean that a religion is valid.

    You were a Christian, but did you believe in God?

    If you believed in God how could you suddenly not?

    Nice try yourself BD but you know that those conversions are really only possible in countries that defend the rights of their citizens against sharia.

    That means the countries that are not islamic republics like Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Qatar, Yemen, Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan, Mauritania and Pakistan, which all have the death penalty for apostasy.

    Ilyas Ba Yunus found that 75% of new converts to islam leave again within 2 to 3 years. The majority of converts to islam (and possibly christianity too) are convicts serving prison sentences. (We also know that recidivism rates are high: how many new muslim criminals are being produced by the prison system?)

    Islam: the religion for those who can't commit to themselves or their community.

    Here is a painfully dull audio track on which some American muslims discuss the high rate of apostasy:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8EC8-aVlrE

    This, apparently is the situation in Africa:

    I checked on the New Zealand Statistics Department website and it turns out that Hinduism is growing at a much more rapid rate than islam.

    The number living in NZ and admitting to being islamic rose from 23,631 to 36,072 between 2001 and 2006. Half of those 36,072 had arrived in the country in the previous five years. Presumably a further decent chunk of the total are children born to those immigrants. Where are all the muslims going to come from, if your claim of islam being dominant within 5 years, mark my words is going to materialise? They are 0.2% of the total population currently. Hardly a springboard for a campaign to introduce sharia misery within the next decade, is it.

    Is that your answer to where all those New Zealand muslims will come from to fulfill what you eagerly called your 'prophecy'?

    Like I asked elsewhere, why should we take you seriously?

    You think an increase from 0.2% to 0.3% of the total population (or something similar) is going to be noticed by anyone but the government statistician?

    Why should anyone take you seriously? You obviously know very little.

    BD if this man is right, then it is not a sense of community that out islamic people have in mind for us.

    Islam: the religion for those who don't mind lying about it being a religion of peace.

    Because my belief was never backed up by evidence, but emotions and suspension of logic and reason.

    So, you just were told to believe and you did?

    I see, well couldn't that also mean you stopped believing in the same manner because you certainly didn't get any
    evidence that God doesn't exist.

    I believe you should use logic and reason and how would you say, you used logic and reason to come to the conclusion that God doesn't exist?

    On that basis you should accept the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (bhna).

    Not really because I would have no interest or motivation to decline or accept.
