Gamorg: If you come any closer I will rip you to shreds
Atreyu: Who are you?
I am Gamorg. And you, whoever you are, can have the honor of being my last victim
I will not die easily, for I am a warrior
Brave warrior, then fight the nothing

...why eternally punish us in Hell?

If Hell wasn't created as a threat (because God won't let us in if we're just trying to get there to avoid Hell), why create Hell (or at least the Hell described in the Bible with the wailing and gnashing of teeth)?

Revelations 21: 8 (abbreviated) 'Gandhi=Hitler'

Gandhi deserves the same fate as Hitler? Is this your God's idea of "justice"?

IF Jihad actually means 'holy war', then I assume that all battles perpetrated by certain members of Islam are jihad because their beliefs are a way of life for them. But what does that say about the other faiths that have, throughout history, fought for what they wanted?

Muslims used to expand their kingdom by moving into a territory already occupied by others. If those 'others' did not want the Muslims to move in beside them peacefully, then the Muslims would move in by force. (Islam vs. Israel for over 1000 years) This is the same thing the British monarchy did to Ireland in 1169. Which is why there are Catholic / Protestant conflicts continuing today (over 800 years later) in Northern Ireland.

Catholics that swept across Europe like a plague destroying anyone that was not of their faith. English settlers wiped out nations to make their own place in the New World.

When i meet a man I am interested in I give him my number in case he ever wants me to cut hiis hair,(I use that as an exscuse to give out my number) Then I will run my fingers through his hair to see what type of texture he has, and usually tell him he has nice hair. Is this something that would turn most men on?

everything from india is complete garbage.
Nothing is decent.
this includes films and people in general.
dirty filthy horid country.

A response to a q about an indian film. This guy is an ignorant westerner possibly sharing the views of or even is a part of the KKK. He obviously does not know much about India. Many Indians are ranked high in the Forbes list and the garbage that India makes is used by westerners, you guys thrive on our s**t! Whats this about nothing is decent? Half the stuff westerners use probably have some Indian influance behind it especially in the fields of science and technology. And why make assumptions about people you don't know!

If people like this did some proper History, not just the western doctered History, then they'll learn that it was the civilisations in the east, like the Indian Aryans, that gave rise to the modern-day western civilisation.

What are your thoughts? I'd really like to hear from people like this ads.

Thanx.

The word homophobe simply means a dislike of homosexuality and this exactly describes their situation. But it has deeper roots. Some people who are attracted to others of the same sex find that this causes them great anxiety, which they externalise and blame on other people.

In the church, some celibate priests have a homosexual orientation, which they repress, but they condemn homosexuality in other people.

Other innate minority characteristics, such as left-handedness or ginger hair, do not cause comparable anxiety or scapegoating.

along with the usual fire drills and such, they are having "bomb" drills. They are teaching the children what to do in case of a bomb. It is so sad that society has come to this and that we have to take our childrens innocence away and introduce them to these evils so young nowadays.

At some point most of us realize that getting into heaven was not a test of what one believes or not. We grew out of fundamentalist Christianity.
In my travels here on yahoo answers i've talked to lots of christians who feel that yes, people can have a different path. At some point they outgrew this belief that all who dont believe in jesus go to hell.

When will the rest of them?

I respect those who believe I will go to hell, but just have to ask, why are there so many in mainstream Christianity, Catholic and Prodestant, who don't think I am going to hell?

What is in your heart that it is so dark that if I don't say the sinners prayer I have to be banished from the kingdom of heaven.

If you say the Bible thats fine, I know it I read it, I know the little passages in john and corinthians and romans and many of you say the fool hath said in his heart there is no god.

Does your heart honestly tell you that those who dont belief what you do go to hell? Does it really

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following video:

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

When will well meaning fellow believers stop using the evidence of a begining which scientists labelled the "Big Bang" as a reason for contention. SCIENTISTS DISCOVERED EVIDENCE THAT POINTS TO A BEGINNING!!!! For crying out loud would it help if the scientists labelled it as something more palatable to your taste? Like maybe "In the beginning God!!!" The discovery of this evidence has led many scientists to the Lord. God SPOKE the universe into being...that sounds like a pretty good size BANG to me. Or maybe this one will work for you...In the beginning God quietly and discreetly eeeeaaasssed the world into existance. I don't think so God created this world with such a big bang that the evidence for it still reamains as the uniform background radiation that exists everywhere in the cosmos.
And if I hear one more Christian tell me that faith is something other than the place where the evidence of reason, logic and the Holy Spirit draws me...!!!! God gave me a brain to find Him!!!!

Where do the transgendered fit in with your belief? And do include evidence, directly quoting from the Bible, Qur'an, what ever - don't just say "read it and see", don't just say "God has condemned you". Please don't just call them all queers, fags, sick, whatever, I only want intelligent answers from intelligent people who are prepared to discuss this intelligently.
