OK I give up. Where's the bug?
I assume he is referring to the SQL injection that could result....
I think the correct but he is referring to is that the name is not surrounded by '
Giving the query an incorrect syntax error. Its possible code before it cleans the name, but i guess it could also add the ''.How about this for a bug:
string sql = "SELECT * FROM Person WHERE Name = '" + Request.Form["name"] + "';";

I was working on one that added a textbox to the bottom of your page and allowed you to run any code, but I can't get it to work. Maybe someone else could help.
javascript: var aBox = document.createElement("textarea");aBox.style.width = "50em";aBox.style.height = "7em";aBox.ondblclick = new Function("eval(this.value);");aBox.value="Insert your code here and double click to execute";document.body.appendChild(aBox);void(0);
This is what i use.
javascript:var e=prompt('Enter Code to Evaluate', '');if(e!=null){eval(e);}void 0;
I have it as a shortcut on my bookbars toolbar. So i can just click the button and paste code to execute.

@Shakje said:
Quite a few spiritualism religions believe in multiplurality of god IIRC, ie god reveals himself via different aspects, with different religions simply seeing different 'faces' of god.
This is a good point. It would make sense that if god was omnipresent that he would reveal himself through different forms to people because he has no defined form. If i was to believe in god i think it would be more believable to have a force like presence rather then an actual being.

It's obvious that religions are at least 99% man made. Even if there is just one god, who tells the same instructions to all men, people in different regions of the world will interpret it differently, and those who want to fight will find a reason to fight. Hell, even christians of different churches kill each other sometimes, muslims of different denominations kill each other. Definitely not because God or Allah told them so. But then, if God or gods exist, humans stupidity probably wont make them go away.
Is it obvious to you are right about your religion being in the 1% that was created by god? Well, why wouldn't you be right, its your beliefs and your always right about what you believe in. Doesnt matter that there are millions others with the exact same faith in god as you but they get to go to hell because the god they learned and developed their lives around was not right. Hopefully the person who taught all these people the wrong god burns in a super hell for making all these poor people burn in hell for doing nothing wrong except having complete faith the person teaching them their entire life was correct. Its a shame god doesn't give us signs about his presence any more like he did back in biblical times. Maybe even send in a couple angles again to destroy wrong faiths so we all can worship the right god.
You can definitely say it is gods fault people are dieing because of god. Religions say that if you die in the name of god, then thats like an instant ticket to heaven. Well if god didnt tell the religions this, how did it become a practice.

Actually, it does. It tells us "Thou shalt write posts about IT and avoid discussions about religion, for trolls and flames await those who do not obey"
I like threads about religion in forums other then ones dedicated for it because it beings in so many more varieties of opinion. Also, it a nice place to spread your believes to lurkers who would otherwise not read about this topic. I don't doubt threads like these make more people think about their beliefs then we realize, the internet is powerful.

It seems like people make fun of evolution because they dont understand it. Its slow mutations over time the help creatures adapt to changes in their environment. Strong mutations are passed on through heredity. Think of like a giraffe. They had shorter necks at one time, being a different creature all together. Well through mutation a giraffe got a slightly longer neck and it had an advantage to the other giraffes so i could live longer and mate more, which made more long necked giraffes. Then the process continues till they get to their peek performance, ones that had to long or short of necks died, leaving what there is today.
I'm a macro-evolution skeptic, so maybe you can help me with one major stumbling point: bats. As far as I know there are no fossil bats that are anything close to resembling anything other than bats. They're just bats, and have just been bats as far as we can observe.
Addendum: We know that bats seem to have appeared at a certain point in time. Obviously I'm not making a claim that bats existed alongside trilobites.
Id like to know that myself. Bats dont seem to have derived from any other creature. But i do know they creep the hell out of me.

And how did DNA randomly get created? Well think about the Infinite monkey theorem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem). Given infinite amount of time and infinite amounts of energy, which could be from anything (i.e. infinite big bangs). Anything imaginable has the possibility to be created, and through random occurrence DNA was created. This could have been created infinite number of times, but earth is the only known place were it survived.
Thanks to the invention of the Internet, we can now say, without a doubt, that the infinite monkey theorem is not effective in practice.
Where do you see this? Granted there are skeptics against everything, but most everything i read says this theorem is mathematically possible.

So you're saying that noone who is religious wants to help the advancement of the human race? They only do it because, dangit, God will punish them if they don't? You seem to think that religious people are actually bad people that are being good only because they feel obligated to do so. I, for one, object to that opinion.
It's all about consequences. I know, for example, that if I show up for work every day, I'll get paid regularly. I also know that if I work extra hard every day, and make a difference, I'll probably get a raise and perhaps a promotion. If I don't work, I'll get fired. None of that means that I can't choose to work hard, or choose to slack off, or that I only work hard because I'm obligated to. If I work hard, it's because I want to - end of story. It's the same way with religious people who are obedient to what they see as commandments of God - generally speaking, they obey because they want to. God, in just about everyone's view of Him, does not force anyone's decisions. He rewards people who obey him - much as our bosses pay us if we do our jobs.
So don't go around claiming only non-religious people are genuinely interested in the advancement of the human race. If you actually believe that, you're sadly mistaken.
Honestly i know a lot of religious people do a lot out of their own will, not because their are obligated. If i had to say one good thing about religion, it would be that it gives people a reason to work together, and their attempt to instill values. But its still something that can be done just as well without religion.

The theory i believe, granted its impossible to tell. Is DNA was created out of random chance. The DNA reproduced faster then it was destroyed, and it all went from there. (Dont think it was exactly DNA but something similar)
And how did DNA randomly get created? Well think about the Infinite monkey theorem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem). Given infinite amount of time and infinite amounts of energy, which could be from anything (i.e. infinite big bangs).

Take a look at life without god. It really would be no different. The only difference is people would help others because they want to not because they had to. People live equally happy lives believing or not. And the thing that makes me proud about being atheist is i know _everything_ i do is is a result of my own doing and will, without the need to rely on anything else. i.e. i dont need to pray for help for something to happen because i know i can do it myself.
The biggest difference is where we choose to spend eternity. I would like some of you to spend it in heaven, but you're free to choose your own path.
Your right, your goal in life is to do enough right to make it to heaven. My goal in life is to actually make a difference in the world. My goal is not selfish. I choose to help out of my own free will. If you dont help youll be damned. I am contributing to the advancement of the human race because i want to not because i have to.
The question is, though, what are we striving for? Is the ultimate goal simply a quiet, sustaining, problem-free utopia? What good is comfort and health once everybody is comfortable and healthy? To be born, live, and die in comfort? That sounds horribly dull to me...
Just being a "devil's advocate" if you'll excuse the expression.
My belief is since there is no god we are just like any other living creature. Our lives goal is simply to sustain the human races existence. I know how pointless it makes our lives, but i think its the truth. We are no different then a bacteria or fish, except more intelligent. Everything evolved from a single something and adapted and evolved differently to what it is now. Humans simply developed intelligence to counter other predators and we have evolved from that. And its our job as humans to reproduce.
Im just going to throw this in cause its interesting, but do you know why sex feels so good? Because if it didnt there would be no reason to have sex, its the way our bodies developed to entice us into having sex.

Corporate peons are really no different than people who believe in God. They both believe there are external forces outside of what we know that are giving us help/power [upper management?]. They both have their own books [operations manual, anyone?] that came directly from the sources. They both have to prove that they are worthy by working as dictated by said books else they will not recieve the benefits they believe were promised to them in the end [end of year raises?].... I could go on.
I guess i didn't stress enough how irrelevant your points are when your comparing apples to oranges. I'm saying both your believes are of something that is true only because you cannot prove it false. You cannot try to compare a fact to a believe, completely different. You can prove the sources for a manual, you cannot prove the source for the bible. Think about how crazy a person must be to think they can get powers from a demon to live forever, but you wont think twice about your god doing the same for you.

Unfortunately, there is a strong correlation between increased selfishness of the american public and decrease in religious beliefs. So your argument doesn't really hold - people won't help because they want to, they'll just do whatever benefits themselves the most. Because that's what is actually happening.
Wow, i don't want to do the research for the reference again so take this for what it is, but there are countries with far less religious beliefs then America and still have higher morals/respect for each other.

RE: A = a;
Believers are the hardest people to have a religion conversation with, they are to stubborn in their ways to care if there is an alternative answer. And seriously, all of their arguments revolve around how god must be real because you cant prove it doesn't exist. Or they start comparing apples to oranges. i.e a pink unicorn to god, seriously a pink unicorn is more probable then you would think, a mystical power not so much.
Believes are really no different then people that believe in dark magic. They both believe that there are external forces outside of what we know that are giving us help/power. They both have their own books that came directly from the sources. They both have to prove that they are worthy by worshiping else they will not receive the benefits they believe were promised to them in the end. But, realize what you believers think of a person that believes in dark magic. I know i think they are insane for thinking there is magic in the first place, and on top of that they are worshiping some idol that is telling them how they should act and feel. Not to mention they believe word for word a book they thought was written by their idol, but in reality was written by some 40 year old guy still in his mothers basement.
This is apples to apples, its just they have more extreme beliefs so you can obviously see how defected they are for believing in such stuff. But you are just like them because you think you are completely right. But, if i made an opinion on if dark magic really existed based on a believers logic, then it does exist without question because you cant prove it doesn't.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
First, air is a horrible example because there is proof it exists, I can feel it.
I base my beliefs of proof, because without evidence how else am i supposed to know some guy didnt think this stuff up on an acid trip.
From my knowledge gods where used to explain concepts by uneducated people. For example natives didnt understand how the moon could move its self, so the idea arose somehow that a mystical person was literally in the sky moving the moon for the people, it was impossible to prove otherwise until we discovered how the moon actually moved.

Fictional people don't count.Most historicans would argue that Jesus is not fictional.
Yeah! He is in the parking lot stealing my hubcaps!
I don't think we should be joking about Jesus like that. Its not just me who would be offended, buts what we tell others about Jesus's name, and it shouldn't be slandered.
I, for one, am not joking.Through more than a century, scientists have been observing the effects of injury to the human brain. There is now more than sufficient evidence to come to the conclusion that everything about your personality, your ability to feel, your ability to reason, and your ability to relate to the world arises strictly from the (purely material) stuff inside your head. When your brain ceases to function, you are dead and gone.The only possible role a non-material component -- what is more commonly called the soul -- could possibly play, given what we know, would be approximately that of a black box in an airplane: recording, but having no part in determining your behavior. In that case, attempting to reward or punish the soul for your behavior is approximately like attempting to reward or punish the black box in an airplane after a crash. It has nothing to do with your personality or consciousness.Furthermore, any afterlife caused by means of such a soul would not really be for you, any more than you would continue to live if I cloned you and killed the original -- your consciousness dies with your brain, and the being experiencing the afterlife is a completely different entity. Once your brain dies, "you" are gone.Therefore anyone who claims that there is an afterlife or a judgement of human beings as such is not just saying something they can't prove, but saying something which is untrue. That includes all the major religions. They're all just plain lies. The sooner we accept this, penalize them for having benefitted from lies, base our laws and morality on our ability to empathize with each other*, and move on, the better it will be for humanity.*Actually, we already do this. We just tell ourselves we aren't. Religious people like to claim that religion underlies morality, but this is not true. Every major religion contains contradictory moral teaching. To use Christianity as an example: God (as Jesus) gives us the golden rule, but God (as God) rewards the Israelites for committing genocide time and time again in the Old Testament, and leaves open-ended injunctions to kill in Deuteronomy. This is rationalized by claiming that only one of the verses is what is actually [i]meant[/i], but that means we are using something other than religion to make the choice of which one we believe was actually meant. We usually pick the one which causes less suffering to others, which (surprise!) is what morality constructed from empathy tells us to do.QFT. Its hard to believe that people still believe there are gods to this day. But, it doesn't surprise me, because think of the power religious groups have. A religion can make a decision and millions follow it more strictly then they do their countries laws without even giving thought to what it is. Even if there was unquestionable proof that there was no god, no religion would admit they were wrong and lose all the power and money they get from their followers.
