stickman, one doesn't have to drop his or her affiliation with the Church because ones personal viewpoint takes on the socially acceptable at a faster rate than the Institution of the Church. The Institution of the Church isn't there to keep up with society but, rather set a start line for societal thinking and behavior. Hopefully one goes to Church to get a different perspective on life and living, not to have the present social whim re-enforced as an absolute.
The Church is there to call her parishioners back from the amoral abyss. Not to stop the world going around.

Adam... J Brereton..?

what the heck drugs are you on mate ?

dropping incoherrant babblings, with a smattering of bahasa Malaysia in there which no one but yourself (presumably) and myself can understand...

Your post made zero sense... again..I feel like a little portion of my life has been made useless by reading it.. grrrrr...

obat gila ? you must have been drinking it urself, because it did make you 'gila'...

Go get some quick therapy and try again :)

Thanks Boaz for speaking out about that. That post was from another dimension! At first I thought my age precluded me from 'understanding' it. So I called my Uni son who is very up to date with 'chat speak' and the like to 'translate'. He laughed and said ROFL, that's weird!

Understanding the Bahasa didn't make it any clearer.

Just to call the bluff of the poker player:

http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/lists/all/

One also needs to factor in the info, that a large number of the non-Western winners of science awards ( which in my opinion should be ranked well above such softies as ‘peace awards’) are/were actually tenured at Western institutions .

Horus,

These are verifiable facts about Muslims who won the Nobel prize. We are not here to second guess 'merits'or 'soft'prizes.
You appear to have a problem or a grudge against Islam and muslims but you should not let that cloud facts and reason.

Peace,

Fellow_Human,
You’re right I would probably have a problem with anyone identifying themselves first & foremost as a Muslim, though ( & I guess in keeping with the spirit of Nobel) I’d have absolutely no problem with some identity as a fellow-human.

Plus, you appeared to be raising on a weak hand in hopes that all other players would fold
Nawwartina!
