Hi I'm interested in visiting Japan to see the natural beauty over there, I am also interested in modern and historic Japanese culture.

Where are the best places to visit.

I'm looking for an a5 diary just filled with lined paper and no dates and stuff. More like a plain book than a diar nut if anyone knows then thanks.

I listen to bands such as : this will destroy you, explosions in the sky, caspian, God is an astronaut, hammock, lights out Asia and Sigurd ros.

What I don't understand is why some people don't like the genre of music. My brother said he dislikes it. Is because the songs are all structured the same with a build up then a loud part.

I personally think everyone would like at least some bands in the genre as the music is very emotional and moving in some cases.

Also doesn't everyone love hammock :)

The tale of the binding of Isaac/ Ishmael is present in many world faiths and holy books (Bible, Quran and Torah)

My question, being an atheist (Try to refrain from any foul language), is that if you believe in an Omnipotent (All powerful) and Omniscient (All Knowing) God/Allah/Yahweh (Future References will only say "God") then why would he put Abraham to the test?

If God is both all powerful and all knowing, then surely he would have know of Abraham's (and in some faiths his son's) complete devotion to god and so he would know that Abraham would willingly sacrifice his son. So why would God do this only to glorify his ego which would have obvious consequences as Isaac would be tormented and have gone through OBVIOUS child abuse and attempted murder.

To me it seems like another logical argument for why God doesn't exist, but I would like to hear your opinions.
