If you live in a prime target area what would you want to do before the area was destroyed and your death? What could you do before you died? Would you eat your last meal?

Christianity is essentially a criminal business enterprise... in fact, it is the world's longest running and most successful Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scam. The product they are selling is the illusion of 'salvation'... and the 'pay plan' doesn't kick in until after you're dead. Meanwhile the victims (having been deceived into believing that it is their God-given duty) are out there busily recruiting MORE victims. What a racket! FORTUNATELY, it only works on those who are gullible enough, and sufficiently lacking in critical thinking skills, to fall for it. UNfortunately, THAT accounts for about 75% of the population of the USA. (There are a lot more people who DON'T know how to think properly than there are people who DO know how to think properly.) That is why there are a lot more religious people in the USA than there are 'Free-thinkers'... including Atheists. Also, Christians are generally too dense to realize that proselytizing (spreading the 'good news') is a key element of the Christian MLM MARKETING PLAN, which was instituted after Christianity lost the political power that had previously allowed them to simply torture and kill anybody who did not comply. Now, they obliviously try to just pester and annoy people to death, through persistent obnoxiousness. If you stop to think about it, you will realize that Christians are very much like the Borg, on Star Trek Next Generation: "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." I would not be surprised to learn that thoughts of Christianity provided the 'creative spark' for the Borg concept.

Interestingly, statistics on supernatural beliefs count the USA on a par with backward, developing Third World nations, rather than among modern, advanced industrial powers.

I don't seem to enjoy it anymore, does this come with age? The night clubs are usually crammed with people, sh#t music, horrid drinks, can't hear people talk, no chill-out areas. One of the nearest clubs to me (totally sh#t) is called 'Arena' (arena means fight floor right?) this just sums it up, its a frigging cattle market people are really pushy. Is this the new state of things for niight clubs or haave they always been this way?

what would you do if the next day the doctor were to diagnose you cancer, and said that there was no hope for you? Plus, that you were going to die in 2 months? What would you do? Cry like a baby or go to God to see if he has mercy on you?

Jesus foretold that Israel will become a nation once again in the parable of the fig tree Matthew 24:32-35. Israel became a nation in May 14th 1948. What are the chances of the jewish people uniting again under one nation. There are many more fullfilled prophecies but this one a BIG one. What do you have to say about it?

Matthew 24
32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Do any of you know WHEN to report abuse?
Snitching is not wrong if you save someone from harm.
Twice today, some juveniles (13 & 15yo girls) posted here.
They may be the sherriff or cops but report them. Inapproate behavior by children must be reported.

Why waste your time hating One you claim you dont believe in? You don't see me bashing Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny. You don't believe in Him, fine, so take the nonbeliever's route and hide behind your lack of views, but don't whine about not knowing God when His invisible attributes are clearly seen. Reap what you sew, peace beyond understadning, miracle healings...clearly theres something bigger then you.

Do you believe that people while living must assimilate to your belief about God, and that resistance to this assimilation is futile, because it results in death/Hades/hell?

If so, please explain to those of us who think we are all going to heaven, why we aren't.
