Punk should only be destroyed for one reason, and that is to get rid of all of the sycophantic sub groups that has for too long turned Punk into pop iconic fashion, and went on to form there own little clicks, such as Emo kids,Hardliners, and Nazi Skins, all of which take away from the real scene, and make Punk look pathetic...

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism If God created everything, who created God: 39 of 60
To answer the question, we must first realize the modus operandi of God, and that is that is evolution. All things evolved, so couldn't it be that that the swirling cloud from the big bang somehow found an intelligence and learned to control it's environment, until finally being able to not only control it's environment but ...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Christian perspectives on judging others: 37 of 42
How crushing and hurtful it is to be judged by another claiming to be Christian.
