- Comment [quote][b]Thor wrote[/b] If it's any comfort, most religions have come a long way since their inception. It's a sloooooow process, but there [i]is [/i]an evolution (moreso in Christianity than in Islam, although the latter too).[/quote] Indeed, religions are fortunately changing, and I think the ...

- Comment [quote][b]Thor wrote[/b] Hey plindboe, we had moved on to Islam now. Keep up with the flow of discussion! ;)[/quote] Oops. Too slow. *sniff* But to contribute a little, I'm not a fan of Islam either. The Muslim world hasn't really had their age of enlightenment yet though, so these days ...

Hypothetical scenarios aren't meant to be realistic. One of the most famous ...

Anyway, humour seems to be a fine way to vent against people who preach to your children before they are old enough to make up their own minds. ...

I haven't watched more from season 1, but am watching season 2 now and I find ...

I've watched the first episode of the 2nd series and found it ok, but didn't enjoy it all that much (rating: 6). I'll give ...
