Decatur church turns to Satan
Remember several years ago when God started advertising on billboards around the country?


"We need to talk. -- God."


"Need directions? -- God."


"Keep using my name in vain, I'll make rush hour longer. -- God."


A church in Decatur is now using the dark side to spread its message.


A billboard that reads "I Hate Victory Family Church -- Satan" went up near the intersection of U.S. 287 and U.S. 380 this week.

Check the pic out on the link? How long before someone claims it is offensive?

No, I am not a Satanist either. Just curious if Freedom of Religion will let these bill-boards stand without some one saying they are offensive.

Look at America's actions and what empires do;

1) Empires forcefully ensure foreign nations employ friendly policies to their own country to exploit political, economically or military bias. (Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq and countless others living under America's shadow)

2) Empires use any reason to try and effectively police any anti-leader in a similar way to the Gestapo (Bush's guise of decreasing privacy, more watch on the public)

3) Emperor's will let others take all the blame for a policy they stuck to (Why is there no independent inquiry into Bush's fake evidence in regard to the Iraq war?)

4) Emperor's are never held accountable for corruption (Think of Bush's first election, you can smell the corruption all the way across the solar system)

Compare the US system with Imperial Britain or Greece. It is similar. Dont think that democracy cannot be imperialistic since looking at these two empires you can see it can.

What do you think?

When most of the abortions occur in non-traditional, broken families and among the poor in society? These people would have grown up and voted Democrat.

Are they destroying their future base?

Why aren't women and doctors who perform abortions being prosecuted for murder?

What should do? I want to support her, but its such a dangerous job. I'm not sure where the idea came from, we have no relatives with a job like that. She is a senior in High School and she always wanted to be a science researcher before this.

I have made my decision to join the military and go into college under an ROTC program(Army ROTC or NROTC Marine Option, not sure). I would either like to do infantry or fly helicopters(preferably Sea Knight in the Marines or Black Hawks in the Army, but again, still not sure which branch). Im really just not sure which one I would like to do. In some ways the Marines seem better because at least then I would become a Marine Officer and lead a Platoon WITHOUT having to "try-out" for the Rangers and take the risk of failing and not becoming one. But at the same time Rangers SEEM(not sure PLEASE correct me if Im wrong) more elite than Marines having Airborne training and being integrated into SOCOM. If anyone would like to offer advice/opinions/whatever that would be great.

Thanks

P.S. - I am leaning more toward Infantry right now if anyone needs to know to help, but I could change my mind.

Are most liberals behind (or support) the censorship of media?

For example: Banning violent video games, cleaning up "foul language" on radio and TV, and enforcing age restrictions for purchasing explict music.

If not, who is?

Taken from the EPA's website:

"Scientists are certain that human activities are changing the composition of the atmosphere, and that increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases will change the planet's climate..."

HERE IS THE KICKER:
"...But they are not sure by how much it will change, at what rate it will change, or what the exact effects will be."

http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/basicinfo.html

Don't you think we should know those things before we start fearmongering?

Liberals seem so eager to start forcing legislation on Americans this instant to stop a "problem" of which we have no idea of what the effects will be.

And they smear and attack anyone who wants to wait for actual, accurate EVIDENCE and DATA before they blindly swear allegiance to Al Gore.

What is so wrong with wanting to have scientific PROOF?

If a US Military man marries a national, has a baby on base during a tour in that country, what would the baby's certificate state as to the place of birth? This would be in the early '60's.

I am a store manager for Starbucks. We collect donations in the form of bags of coffee to send to soldiers in Iraq. I'm told that in order for us to send these donations, we must ship the coffee directly to a specific soldier, rather than some sort of general address. Can anyone hook me up with a U.S. soldier in Iraq who would be willing to distribute coffee to other members of our armed forces in the areas where good coffee is a luxury? (By the way, I'm told that in areas where brewing the coffee is not an option, our soldiers often chew the beans for that "coffee buzz." We would be sending whole beans to insure freshness.) Most of the coffee we send is purchased and donated by our customers who attach short notes of encouragement to our armed forces members. The person at our store who used to head up this operation recently transferred to another store, and the soldier to whom we used to send the beans has since returned to the States. Please help us help them.

Yesterday a lib posted a question calling me out and claiming I had blocked her. In fact I had not. She realized she had made a mistake about 10 minutes later and posted a retraction and an apology which I accepted. HOWEVERT, IN THE TEN MINUTES BEFORE SHE POSTED HER APOLOGY ABOUT 30 LIBS SWOOPED DOWN LIKE BUZZARDS FEASTING ON A CARCAS. THREE OF THEM LIED BY SAYING I HAD BLOCKED THEM ALSO. MOST OF THE REST JUST USED THE OCCASSION TO VILIFY ME.

The surge is working. Plain and simple.

- Over 4,000 enemy dead since beginning of surge.
- Former Sunni/Shia insurgents are now fighting for America.
- Violence is way way down.
- Civilian deaths are way way down.
- Iraqi's WANT us there more than ever.
- Hearts and minds are being won everyday.

And we are far from finished... Yet the Democrats and Liberals are rooting for America to "loose" in Iraq. Why?
The surge is working and we are going to win this war. So why are the Democrats and Liberals unhappy about this..

Our soldiers are winning every battle, hands down, while our enemies are coming out hands up. SO WHY ARE LIBERLAS AND DEMS NOT HAPPY....?

- Oh well...We've dealt with traitors and cowards throughout our history and like the rest, you will be dealt with as well.

Even ignoring all the evidence that humans are the primary cause of global warming, let's just examine the scientific consensus. There IS a consensus, as I illustrate in this question:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApVrJTwr2fowQ9c1oYDbztvsy6IX?qid=20070623154358AAMwRrZ

Or since people seem to be too lazy to click and read the YA link, just go straight to the source:

http://www.norvig.com/oreskes.html

Consensus does not mean EVERY expert agrees, it means the VAST MAJORITY agree. There are virtually no scientific papers which dispute the consensus that humans are the primary cause of the recent global warming.

If a bunch of doctors tell you that you need surgery, you get the surgery.

If a bunch of lawyers tell you to take a plea bargain, you take the plea bargain.

If a bunch of dentists say you need a root canal, you get one.

When you don't understand a subject, you listen to experts.

Why when climatologists say humans are causing GW, do you not believe it?

I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin dont blame me
They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else
Spend all their time feelin sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your mommas too thin; your daddys too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin and cryin and pitchin a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you havent been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, old billy was right
Lets kill all the lawyers, kill em tonight
You dont want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesnt owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you dont want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, get over it

Its like going to confession every time I hear you speak
Youre makin the most of your losin streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
Id like to find your inner child and kick its little ***

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin and moanin and pitchin a fit
Get over it, get over it

Get over it
Get over it
Its gotta stop sometime, so why dont you quit
Get over it, get over it

If ILLEGALS that are coming into this country only want a better life to feed their families, then what happens when all third world citizens want to come here. It's not just the Mexicans people. What about Africa, what about the entire Central America, what about the Middle East, what about China. All these countries have Governments that have or are failing their people as well. Are they any different from the Mexicans for wanting a better life. It only starts with approx. 20 million ILLEGALS in this country, majority from Mexico. When other countries get word of this, what's to stop them from coming over and protesting doing the same crap that the Mexicans have done? Will we have to grant all of them amnesty as well? It doesn't work only ne way. There is a much greater effect to this than just the ILLEGALS that are here now. Does anybody see the big picture here?

You have a better chance of being killed in an automobile accident.

You have a far better chance from being killed in a household accident than a terror attack.

You have a better chance of dying in a freak accident.

You have about the same chance as being struck by lightening.

Just something to think about?

Seems like there is a lot of press about which religion the presidential candidates belong to, more than I remember in the last couple of elections. How important is it to you?

Just a rhetorical question, not looking for a fight here.. :)
