What is more satanic, Harry Potter, or The Da Vinci Code.

Please state your reason and give each book a rating of one to five 666s.

(Note: Five 666s is 666 666 666 666 666, two and a half is 666 666 333).



P.S This is a joke

I have heard a rumor spreading among some people that the crusaders were somehow justified in their wars in palestine. Does anyone know where this came from or what the argument is?
I would read some Islamaphobic books or something, but I'm almost immeadietly tune out because they're so bigotted.

(macro evolution that is)
I figure it takes about as much faith as any other religion, so are you a believer?

The reason evolution is a dangerous idea for Christians is that they are than left with the fact that man and animals are related. That animals might even have ‘souls’ since man is just another animal.

That's a dangerous idea for most Christians.

Most people who believe in evolution are even worse in this aspect; They do not follow their own reasoning to any form of actionable conclusion. For example: If man has fundamental rights, and man is an animal, than why don't animals have the same fundamental rights? Are a man’s rights dependant on being 'special' or dependant on the dignity that all life deserves? Or...?

So, my question to people who believe in evolution is; How has it actually changed the way you treat living things or is it just a way to tease Christians?

There is a passage in Ezekiel 4:9 that is a recipe for bread. "Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side."

It turns out to be an excellent source of dietary fiber, grain proteins and the essential fatty acids omega 3 and 6. Aperson could stave off malnutritien for many months eating this an water alone. Does anyone believe that this may have been mana?

Please, this is a scholarly question. I don't want a bunch of messages in all capitols, telling me about your supposed relationship with a man who's been dead for two millenia.

This country belongs to all Americans regardless of religion, superstition, or lack there of. We are based on freedom and the roman-greco concepts of rule by the people, not on Judeo-christian-islamic theocracy and divine right of kings and sultans? Only three of the 10 commandments are even constitutional in this great land of the free that I and many others have fought for and many have died for. It is true that we once had the christian institution of slavery, but we evolved socially and no longer hold to that barbaric doctrine. If you want to live in a theocracy country, Iran is always welcoming imigrants to their scripture based society. Good luck, but us Americans will continue to be a beacon of freedom, scoentific progress, and secular government despite your best efforts to take us back to the dark ages.

1. In the Bible's book of Deuteronomy it says that if a man marries a woman and then decides that he hates her, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they married. At that point her father must prove she was a virgin. (How is not explained.) If he can't, then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep. (22:13-21)

2. If you see a pretty woman among your captives and would like her for a wife, then bring her home and "go in unto her." Later, if you decide you don't like her, you can simply "let her go." (Deuteronomy 21:11-14)

3. If a betrothed virgin is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough, then "the men of the city shall stone her to death." (Deuteronomy 22:23-24)

4. In the book of Esther the king apparently decrees a sex contest among young virgin women to see who can best please him. He subsequently finds Esther the best at this, so he makes her queen. (Note ancient painting on the left.)

However, since women are viewed as inherently dirty, Esther must be "purified" for twelve months before she can be made queen. (Esther 2:8-9, 12-17)

5. Paul points out in New Testament Romans that "the natural use" of women is to provide men with sex. (Romans 1:27)

6. Heaven is to be inhabited by 144,000 virgin men who have not been "defiled" by women. (RE 14:1-4) [One wonders how this squares with God's command to, "Be fruitful and multiply...(Genesis 1:28)?]

7. A group of sexual depraved men beat on the door of an old man's house demanding that he turn over to them a male house guest. Instead, the old man offers his virgin daughter and his guest's wife: "Behold, here are my virgin daughter and his concubine (wife); let me bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but against this man do not do so vile a thing." The women were subsequently ravished and killed. (JG 19:22-29)

8. In Exod. 21:7 we see that it is permissible to sell one's daughter (but apparently not one's son) into slavery.

9. According to St. Jerome, "Nothing is so unclean as a woman in her periods; what she touches she causes to be unclean." In Leviticus (12:2:5) it states, "If a woman conceives and bears a male child, she shall be ceremonially unclean seven days...if she bears a female child she shall be unclean two weeks...."

10. "A woman dropped a stone on his head and cracked his skull. Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, 'Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can't say a woman killed me.' So his servant ran him through, and he died." (Judges 9:53-54)

11. Under God's direction, Moses' army kills all the adult males, but they mercifully just take the women and children captive. When Moses learns that they left some women and children alive, he angrily says: "Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him." (31:1-54) Throughout Bible history God is said to demand that thousands, if not millions, of men, women and children be slaughtered. And they are.

12. And where do these go? - A man has an obligation to produce a child with his brother's widow. If he refuses, his sister-in-law is to spit in his face in front of the elders. (Deuteronomy 25:5-9) And in case you are Jewish, you may be familiar with the Jewish prayer: "Blessed be the God who has not created me a heathen, a slave or a woman."
