Okay, I'm not a big fan of religion in the first place, but Scientology makes me want to devote my life to a legitimate god just out of spite for these cultist freaks. Seriously, how friggin' stupid do you have to be to get suckered into a "religion" based around alien spirits killed by an evil galactic overlord? It doesn't take a genius to know it's a load of bull created by L. Ron Hubbard to get him more money. Why join if you know people are going to (correctly) think you're a raving lunatic with no sense of logic?

My dad would like to know if his name is spelled different in different languages or if they have there own version of the name James. Online translators seem to think his name says Jams and bring up the word for marmalade instead.

if someone is asking a question for ironic or comedic purposes, and you don't get it- doesn't that kind of make YOU an idiot?

to be for gays but something is now changeing my mind here is the scripture.genesis the tale of Sodom is often debated. In it, Lot has two angels staying in his house. The men of Sodom surrounded the house. "They called to Lot and asked him where the men were who had entered his house that night. 'Bring them out,' they shouted, 'so that we might have intercourse with them.'"


To protect his visitors from an act which Lot describes as "wicked", he offers the crowd his two virgin daughters instead. The crowd are not satisfied and break the door down - the angels then make the intruders blind and Sodom is eventually destroyed by "fire and brimstone more over,Leviticus 18 vs 22 "You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination." i dont know its a tug of war in my mind now.who should i support?i mean someone showed me proof in the bible.no rude comments please.:)

Since people who haven't heard "the word" cannot be sinners, and cannot go to Hell, shouldn't we stop spreading it altogether? I think theists are just pissed that they don't get a free pass anymore, like babies and "savages," so they try to take everyone else's free pass away. If they really cared about saving souls, they would shut the hell up!

I mean really, what's with that?
War is the failure of society, so the ulitmate war would be the ultimate failure. And yet you continually hope and pray for this day to come? Why? Are the pictures coming from Iraq not enough to satisfy your bloodlust? Not enough dead babies and women in the streets for you yet?
You keep talking about "salvation" and "peace" but what you really want is blood! Lots of it!
You belong to a disgusting death cult. And the faster we toss the whole mess on the ash-heap of history, the better.

The head of those criminals moving occaisonly could be seen from the street.
