Do you think works-based religions appeal to slightly masochistic people? There has to be a reason people would so fervently cling to shame-based worship, as opposed to the freedom of Christ's grace, as spoken of in Romans 8.

just my thoughts. I'm interested in hearing thoughtful replies.

I just watched Michael Moore's latest film Sicko. I know he's an extremist, but there is definitely some truth to many of his arguments. It saddens me that so many other countries function fine with socialized health care, but in America, Health Insurance companies care more about earning Capital than helping the sick.

Is there a way to change this? Why doesn't America implement something of this nature to help its citizens? It hurts to know that our government is really that heartless..

I myself have schizophrenia and have encountered people who assume that I must have split personality or be prone to violent behaviour, neither of which are true. What kind of false assumptions have people made about you?

A nation that once prided itself on a sense of rugged individualism has become uncomfortably obsessed with racial group identities.

The collectivist mindset is at the heart of racism.

Government as an institution is particularly ill-suited to combat bigotry. Bigotry at its essence is a problem of the heart, and we cannot change people's hearts by passing more laws and regulations.

It is the federal government that most divides us by race, class, religion, and gender. Through its taxes, restrictive regulations, corporate subsidies, racial set-asides, and welfare programs, government plays far too large a role in determining who succeeds and who fails. Government "benevolence" crowds out genuine goodwill by institutionalizing group thinking, thus making each group suspicious that others are receiving more of the government loot. This leads to resentment and hostility among us.

Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than as individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism.

The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence - not skin color, gender, or ethnicity.

In a free society, every citizen gains a sense of himself as an individual, rather than developing a group or victim mentality. This leads to a sense of individual responsibility and personal pride, making skin color irrelevant. Racism will endure until we stop thinking in terms of groups and begin thinking in terms of individual liberty.

ROFLMAO...I just heard where the ACLU is preparing to sue the Governor of Georgia for his public display of a prayer for rain.

Seems Georgia has been in one heck of a drought, and things became soooooooo desperate the Governor was willing to try anything to get it rain...Funny how they seem to rely on God last. Anyway, he holds a public pryer vigil for rain, and guess what...it's been freaking rainin since the day after the public prayer session.

This has peeved the ACLU, because on the surface it appears God really does answer prayers...LOL! So now the ACLU will sue to ban elected officials from publicly praying...unless of course it's to Allah, Buda, or some Golden Calf crap...

Wow, the ACLU never ceases to amaze me. I wonder if any of them realized IT'S FREAKING RAINING in drought starved GEORGIA!!!! As it says in that old black book: The "wise" shall become FOOLS!"

Any thoughts????

Someone said the concept of god opening the pearly gates to the whole world, regardless of works and religion was a bad concept because god is about justice....

When I thought you guys said he was about infinite love, and forgiveness...

You and your best friend are enjoying a vacation on the Titanic. But, when the boat begins to sink, there's only one spot left in the life boats. Do you go down with the ship or let your bff take the spot? (let's say- your friend is five years younger than you and ten times more likely to succeed in life.)

You say god is a spirit and god is everywhere. If that's true then how can you be spiritually separated? You can't be physcially separated because god is not physical. So how can you be separated from god at all?

i am currently 18 weeks with my 2nd child and have gained about 5 pounds (so far.) after i had my daughter i lost the 35 pounds i gained pretty quickly and easily, i never really got too bad of stretch marks (a few), and for the most part was lucky enough to go back to what i was before i got pregnant. did your body change even more after the 2nd and was it harder to get your "old" body back? i am just wondering what to expect. thanks
