On The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert mimics a right-wing, fundamentalist Christian (more specifically, Catholic), satirizing not only political issues and paradoxes, but religious ones as well. Believe it or not, he happens to really be a Roman Catholic Christian in real life. In fact, it has been reported that he teaches Sunday school each week.

When asked by an interviewer about his religious views, to summarize, he explains that he does not criticize religion itself, but how politicians use religion, often in hypocritical ways. He then makes the comment that Jesus' Kingdom is not of this Earth, and implies it should be uninvolved with politics.

For first century pagans, Jews, and Christians, there was no such thing as separation as church and state. Caesar, for example, was not just a ruler: he was divine, the son of god, and the savior. For Jews, YHWH was the true God of the world, who would one day send a Messiah to overthrow the pagan powers of the day.

Hi,
I moved into a new house this summer and the landscaping included a whole lot of really nice hydrangeas. With winter coming, I`m wondering how I should trim them/cover them up before snowfall. The leaves at the base have started to grow yellow already.

I live in montreal, Canada so when winter comes, it really comes.

My tyres need replacing and the rears for example are 295/30 ZR18's but also come with an N3 rating.

I have seen various options from different manufactures where some are a N1, N2 or N3 so which is best?
I understand the other numbers but what significance does this number play?
The car is a Porsche 911 and i know i need specific tyres with the Porsche fitment because the Porsche rims.

Is N1 the better tyre or the N3?

Talk about a contradiction! A master of superstition and fraud, part of an organization that can't handle the most basic facets of reality (i.e. evolution) and stands against the pursuit of rational thought at every turn, is supposed to be an admirable figure at a school? Ha, ha, ha. That's like having Hitler give a speech on civil liberties.

The blind see again, the lame speak, the deaf hear, the crippled walk, terminal cancer just disappears- science can't explain it! These educated fellas are stumped, feeling the Jesus! There is one group though that seems to be excluded from the whole miracle deal. Please give me your input. Cheers!

WHY AREN'T AMPUTEES CURED! Why doesn't Jesus/God/Holy Spirit allow them to wake up with a new arm/leg/whatever one day!? You can't explain it rationally, so here we go! Time to create a strange,illogical rationalization (that probably makes you feel uncomfortable if you're educated) as to why your Jesus doesn't cure this group.

Hi all I am 35 weeks pregnant and and hit a deer on my way to work this morning. Other than dmaging my car and being really shook up I don't think I hurt anything. I have beenunder alot of stress the past few weeks, my g-pa passed away after fighting cancer a week after we found out my g-ma had it too well unfortunetly she didn't have time to fight it. and passed away monday morning. I watched her gasp for her last breaths I haven't been able to sleep since. I am having horrible back pains and have been since last night. After my incident this morning I noticed a little brownish pink on my panty liner. I have been to the doctor for preterm labor symptoms and I feel like I am driving them crazy w/ all my concerns. But I know being over whelmed w/ stress isn't good for the baby. What should I do and am i over reacting?

Why they don't want to pursue careers even when they can easily get them and their family members will support the decisions? I am not blaming or judging them I just want to understand their mindsets.

ok this is the situation:

Say you rescued a puppy from a very high kill and overcrowded shelter. they didn't check references or anything.

Then say the puppy was too much for the person who rescued it, even though that person did do alot of puppy researching prior. Say the person was just overwhelmed..

and suddenly an opportunity came up to give the puppy to a perfect home: a veterinarian looking for a puppy at the same time.

so you arrange for her to meet the puppy at a park, no plans on giving the puppy, just to see what happened. The vet falls in love, wants the puppy right then you still overwhelmed agree.

Then your kids are heartbroken and your husband is mad at you even tho you discussed giving the puppy up with them prior to this.

The vet does not want to give puppy back. And you are feeling like a terrible person.What would you do????!!

..likely the Pats wont score over 10 in their loss to the Colts. All their wins were against very weak teams where as the Colts seem to dominate good teams even on the road. Brady will experiance real pressure for the first time when Freeny is crashing down on him.

I know it's hard to get converts for the Pope's religion. but a good start would be to get rid of the pedophiles first and then maybe worry about abortions after he's done cleaning his own house. Check this news item. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071029/ts_nm/pope_drugs_dc

In this time of discovery and science so many people still think there is one "being" that controls the universe. The universe is filled with billions of solar systems and planets we are just now discovering. Christianity and other religions were a catalyst for things people in the past could not understand....when they had a natural disaster, flood, hurricanes, death, volcano eruptions or even a comet in the sky to them that was a WARNING from the god or gods they worshiped. In this day and age I can't see why people are still turning to religion......religion has been the start and cause of 95% of all wars since the dawn of man. Today religion is the cause of turmoil in the middle east, Israel and so on and people continue to practice different religions around the world that conflict with one another.

I have a three year old step son who calls me "mama", and his biological mom is ticked because of this. I didn't ask him to call me this, and originally he called me by my first name, but has since started calling me "mama". I don't want to tell him to call me my name if he wants to call me "mama". I am one of his mothers, so whats the deal? What is your opinion?

ing has changed to any real significance... There is not a single society document that says all the anointed were selected by 1935.' I note this self-imposed time span avoids the dropped/denied 1975 debacle!

I think, however, there HAVE been subtle changes to JW doctrine in the last 25 years, eg the separating of the sheep from the goats now being future, the generation of 1914 no longer being alive to see Armageddon - it will be a future generation, a generation is no longer 70-80 years but 36 or so years, and now there seems to be something afoot with the decree that the 'calling' for the 144,000 was closing around 1935 as the 'calling' for the earthly hope was beginning.

I want to ask, are JWs telling the public one thing whilst knowing more than they're prepared to admit to, or are these changes so subtly phrased in Watchtower literature that they don't realise the significance/extent of these changes and how serious they are?
