If a statement pertains to your lord give one point.

-Mother is a virgin
-Father is a king
-Often a near relative of his mother
-Circumstances of his conception are unusual
-Supposed son of a god
-At birth an attempt to kill him by his father
-But is spirited away
-Reared by foster parents in a foreign country
-Told nothing of his childhood
-Upon manhood he goes to his future kingdom
-After victory over a giant or a dragon or a king...
-...Gets married to a princess
-Becomes king
-Reigns uneventfully
-Prescribes laws
-Later loses favour with his subjects
-Driven from the throne of the city
-Meets with a mysterious death...
-...Often at the top of a hill
-His children, if any do not succeed him
-His body is not buried...
-...And has one or more Holy sepulchres

How did your lord do? Let's look at the scoresheet...

Oedipus-22
Theseus-20
Jesus-19
Romulus-17
Hercules-17
Perseus-16
Zeus-15
Jason-15
Robin Hood-13
Apollo-11

Jesus is number 3 on the list. Not even a decent myth.

I know someone asked a question similar to mine (although he mentioned an actual cruise) and I see that Orbitz has a specific section devoted to these things. My further quetsion is are these things actually worth it?

I saw this answer a little while ago(I can't remember what the question was), and I'm totally confused. Isn't this circular logic?

What type of fixings are used and how is it raised? I know this sounds a bit basic but I want to know how they are fixed if I want to design a new way of fixing.

I have been reading this book the HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE. i strongly recomend it be read by everyone.IT explains EVERYTHING physics cant .Including so called miricles of god, perhaps they are just a change in the hologram created by the energy(auras) surrounding us all.america has really lost alot of ther spirtual power by giving more credit to a non-existant god than actually crediting themselves for miricles changing thier lifes. the mind(spirt) is a powerfull thing. more powerfull if you dont insult it by giving crdit(to god) where credit is due to your spirit.join humainity in praying for peace, and it will happen.join humanity in fear and the world is in the hands of the government(who controls the fear speading media)

I am so thankful to live in a nation where I am able to worship as I wish and talk about Christ with almost no persecution. Does it make it harder though to be a Christian in the U.S. considering all of the excesses we have here. For instance, we have so many worldly things that try to draw us from our faith- abundant food, drugs, tv, sex, greed, etc.
Considering we live in a nation where we complain and get impatient when a web page takes more ten seconds to come up, while those in other countries walk two miles just to get water for their family how can we truly know what thankfulness is?
In some places people are slaughtered for the sole reason of being a Christian, while here, a Christian's biggest threat is the ACLU trying to take down a cross somewhere.
Does this make us too complacent and not take our faith (in general) seriously enough?
It is nice though, to be in a country where there is such a diversity of people to share my faith with.

What do you all think?

Why do women have abortions?

74% say having a baby would interfere with work, school, or other responsibilities.

73% say they cannot afford to have a child.

48% say they do not want to be a single parent, or have relationship problems with husband or partner.

Less than 2% say they became pregnant as a result of rape or incest.

People are always using the 'dad raped the 12 year old girl and the baby will ruin the girls life' case. less than 2 % of females in america abort FOR THIS REASON. Giving an INNOCENT life up for adoption for all the reasons listed would SOLVE all the problems listed. Don't you agree?
