Countless movies have been made about "Satan", fulfillment of biblical prophecies about those proverbial "end times", antichrists and the gates of "hell", etc. Two examples of silly 'end-times' movies: in "Lost Souls" Winona Ryder knew the exact time and place the antichrist had been born. In "Omen: The Final Conflict", three stars converged in Pleiades to mark the day and place of the (new) birth of 'the Christ child'. I've seen a couple of films that mention quotes supposedly from the Book of Revelation that aren't anywhere in the bible.

Personally I find religion-flavored movies about "Satan", 'the rapture' and the end of the world, etc., an insult to human intelligence, but how's by you -- which are the silliest, funniest, most insulting or annoying movies of this genre, in your opinion?

should we as a nation, remove gay people to an island because they preach "open mindedness" but it really just means "accept us or die" . if someone says they were open minded, but then decided being gay was wrong, gays would call that person a closed minded bigot, even though they kept an open mind and heard both sides.

is enough enough? is it time to put gays in internment/re-education camps?

up with it? I mean what is the big deal what people do if they are not hurting anyone or pushing their views on anyone. i know a gay girl And she is so humble, loving, giving - she does charity work. Will she go to Hell if she remains gay? what kind of God is it.

So there in lies the real truth-I am up here because I see the most beautiful thing in my life being lost to the madness that religions have created-Our Mother Earth-and it is this continual Hate caused by "I am saved" attitude that is killing the planet-I am considerably well read have studied numerous religions-cultures-and volunteered numerous hours-not to offend but to learn on how to improve-because it is my hope to leave this world a better place for my having been here-not to think (as religions teach) that there is a better place-and perhaps my answer to you was in response to seeing friends and relatives that have lost their lives-and limbs trying to give the world into capable hands-YOURS-if you are able to abide by the laws set forth by OUR MOTHER-and she can be one hellofaMother-but needs people to let lose of this manmade religious righteousness that is causing her to lose-and why? Because the Bible has already told these people that the world will end and so they believe it and will not wake-up but are satisfied that she is a done deal-Not so says I-and many more-that have faith not in Gods but in Mankind-to do the work needed to bring her back from the brink she is now on! I had a wonderful childhood and I will work hard in my life to see that the love my parents brought me into this world to explore is one that the children of the world can adore! That's Why!

You've got a child. Your child is busy running around, attacking and hurting other children. You have the power to stop your child, but you just idly watch from the sidelines. Another person says, Why don't you stop your child?' and you shrug and say, 'My child has free will. I told him the rules once. I'm going to punish him many, many years later.'

Would you be a worthy parent? Would Child Support be able to take away your child?

Okay, a couple nights ago I was lying in bed wide awake, and I started to see blue lights flashing in my room. They weren't big though. They would come and go to different parts of the room. Do you know what it looks like to see lightening bugs when it's dark outside? Well, it was like that, but blue. Then I started hearing screaming in my hear and it became so intense that I had to run downstairs. The lights were getting more intense as well. I ran downstairs and started crying, but the screaming wasn't going away. After awhile, I started to hear a conversation going on between two people, but I couldn't make out what anybody was saying. I eventually calmed down and fell asleep, but the screaming never went away. I just learned to ignore it. I even heard the screaming the next morning when I woke up. My family thought that someone could have slipped LSD in my food, but would the affects of the drug last for days? Other than drugs, what could have made me have a hallucination?

My guess is within a few years. Some companies are already doing it to their employees. With the introduction to the Patriot Act, anything is possible. They'll just convince the people it's a defense against terrorism.

Why is it that people who are homo or bisexual get shunned all the time? Also, I have a bisexual friend who wants me, but I'm having mixed feelings, & I need help. I wanna stay straight because I don't want my family to disown me. Well, they already disowned me for other reasons. & like if I were 2 turn BI, would I really go 2 hell 4 it?

Seriously, they are children's books. The witchcraft and wizardry they describe are obviously fictional to anyone who reads them. They actually are full of good lessons of freindship, loyalty, and doing the right thing in times of great tragedy.

So why is it that every time i find one of these nutty hard nosed christian sites there is invariably a link to an article on how Harry Potter is evil? Have they even read the books themselves or seen the movies?

that god exsisted in another dimension or something like that and then decided to create the universe in this dimension? and then as far as anything was concerned it would seem that he has always exsisted and in away that would be true.

If someone says I'm sorry for being stupid, I'm an evolutionist, and I worship Satan and I'm an atheist, what does that mean?

What is rhetoric? What is sarcasm?

Does it really mean that person worships Satan? Or is this a thinly vailed attempt to show the absurdity within the thought process of someone who thinks all non-(insert their religious group here) is evil and a satan worshipper.

Is this something some one with low self esteem would say, or is it obviously someone comfortable enough to know that other people will be intelligent enough to know they don't worship our lord Lucifer (see, see, I don't really worship Lucifer, but I called him our Lord, see that its S A R C A S M)

Some people believe that NO questions are stupid questions, but when I ask questions, ppl say that they're stupid questions. Educators say that the only stupid questions are the ones that are not asked.
