(1 Cor 7:9). Paul was obviously never married.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/heathensguide/~4/n65RB9bsC3E" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/heathensguide/~3/n65RB9bsC3E/ http://heathensguide.com/02/14/the-origin-and-invention-of-st-valentines-day-2/ I seldom post videos, but I gotta say this one kills me. Must-see for atheists:<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/heathensguide/~4/4nt6aJGc8hw" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/heathensguide/~3/4nt6aJGc8hw/ http://heathensguide.com/02/10/jim-jefferies-on-religion/ For every imam out there tonight defending Islam, there are thousands of Muslims who hear very different words from the Quran. The same is true within Christianity, Judaism, and every faith on the planet. The sectarian nature of religions leaves the door open for a culture (or individual) to interpret the Holy Books as they wish. Whether honor killings are a part of Islam or not is irrelevant. Like so many other murderous options, it’s the interpretation of the ‘Holy Word’ that’s important.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/heathensguide/~4/r-TWqkYbPZ8" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/heathensguide/~3/r-TWqkYbPZ8/ http://heathensguide.com/01/31/shafia-honor-killings/ I'm used to the semi-weekly "You're going to Hell" e-mail, as well as the regular belligerent "You have no idea what you're talking about" comments. But this latest round seems to be trying to more discouraging than contrary.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/heathensguide/~4/KJ_Fh_ksfY8" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/heathensguide/~3/KJ_Fh_ksfY8/ http://heathensguide.com/01/19/a-new-christian-tactic/ It took me a while to figure out why religions hate extramarital sex. For the longest time I just figured they were a bunch of up-tight prudes that couldn’t get laid and thus didn’t want anyone else to get laid either. Granted, a lot of them these days do fit into that category, but I don’t think that’s how the whole thing started.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/heathensguide/~4/lKTVDwTE9LA" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/heathensguide/~3/lKTVDwTE9LA/ http://heathensguide.com/12/27/god-says-kill-horny-women/
