		<description><![CDATA[re: &quot;No, I&#039;m an ardent believer in God, but I reject all man-made religion. &quot;  
  
Jesus is not man-made. His birth, life and resurrection was predicted in more than 200 fulfilled prophesies. Moreover, Jesus is chronicled as an historic figure independently in secular records. 
  
Jesus&#039; Return (at an unknown future date) is displayed in even more Bible prophesies.

		<description><![CDATA[Deliberately vague and nebulous. Unlike so many, I make no pretense of being able to define God or comprehend the essence of God. I merely note the reality of creation (the universe), and from there, acknowledge the probability of a creator.  
 
For me, the existence of God is a more credible explanation for the existence of the universe (and the human capacity to love, for that matter) than the mere happenstance of chemical reactions unrelated to a divine plan. It&#039;s part intellectual and part intuition....and unlike the dogmatic certainties of both the religiously devout AND the strident atheist, I readily acknowledge I might be wrong.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s a nice gesture by Cardinal Scola, and may start a trend in Europe (probably not) but it will be laughed at in Muslim countries where Christians are too much fun to whip, extort, rob, rape, beat, enslave, murder, etc. while the leaders of the powerful and wealthy formerly Christian wastern nations  are afraid(or complicit by being on the Saudi payroll) to acknowledge that abuse of Christians by Muslims is even happening, never mind do something about it. His call for abolition is a step in the right direction though. 
Hopefully it might influence some of the other pastors in Christian churches to quit schmoozing their local Imams and politically active muslims in some phony and futile onesided outreach,  and instead demand an end to the abuse of their fellow Christians under the control of muslim governments, but probably not. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul and Stephen. 
You are both wrong ...  and right. 
Wrong in that if it were a &quot;worldwide abolition&quot; then that would be a great relied for Christian and other minorites in Muslim-majority Countries. Frankly, that is stating the obvious. 
Sadly you are also right in that since Muslims consider Sharia to be &quot;Allah&#039;s Laws&quot; and as such above all man-made law, then (1) maj-Muslim countries would not abolish such laws and (2) the &quot;pious&quot; Muslims would ignore such abolition and just resort to murder (i.e. carry on as now). 
There is a parallel with slavery here: most maj-Muslim Countries have abolished it in on paper (some Cuontries more than once), yet the laws are not enforced and since slavery is regulated by Sharia it continues to today. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Do I recall that you proclaim to be an ardent atheist?&quot; 
 
No, I&#039;m an ardent believer in God, but I reject all man-made religion. 
 
The issue here is the blasphemy LAWS of Sharia, not the concept of blasphemy itself. These laws are used not only to suppress the freedom of expression of Muslim and non-Muslim alike....but all too often,  to intimidate non-Muslims into an abject dhimmitude, lest they be falsely accused. 
 
I&#039;m impressed that a significant figure inside the Catholic Church has broached the subject. I believe it will come to naught because of the Church&#039;s overall pacifism, a concept, a state-of-grace that most Muslims not only disregard, but actually have the greatest contempt for. ]]></description>
