I think of the trinity like the analogy of water, ice and vapor. All different forms of water, but the same substance. How do you describe it?

"If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other."

Jesus would have forgiven Osama and asked him to repent.

...I'm just quoting the master. If u have a problem, take it up with the big guy in the sky.

Ok, in the Spring of '04, I had a really weird dream that just came randomly. I was looking out of a window, at the moon, and I saw the man in the moon. All of a sudden the moon got closer and closer to me, until it sort of changed from the man in the moon to the face of Jesus staring at me. He didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything, he just stared into my eyes like he wanted to tell me something, but he didn't say a word. When I woke up, I was so confused & weirded out, because I had no idea where it came from? That summer, I was just suddenly mentally crippled from panic attacks that would leave me temporarily paralyzed and feeling numb. It's like I was going suddenly insane. Then my parents separated and I just got into this really depressed/confused phase, and the next school yr was the worst yr of my life. It was one of the worst times of my life. I think it was a test but what do you think? Do you think it had to do with the dream or anything?

How Did Living Things First Appear On Earth?

If any one step in the evolutionary process is proven to be impossible, this is sufficient to prove that the whole theory is totally false and invalid. For instance, by proving that the haphazard formation of proteins is impossible, all other claims regarding the subsequent steps of evolution are also refuted. After this, it becomes meaningless to take some human and ape skulls and engage in speculation about them.

Do they not realize that they each follow Abrahamic religions, that technically worship the same God? What is it going to take for us to live in peace with one another?

We seem to live in a male focus society. We reffer to god as a "he" and Its insulting to me as a man to say that the illussive thing called devil is a "he" There seems to be a lot of focus on the being called jesus too! He was proberly nothing more than a wise man philosopher? but hey..what about women like Marie Currie who worked out a theory of xrays radiation? Or Amilia Elmhart who flew the first continental air flight across the seas in a small airplane? So why not women can be enpowered as to being a Goddess Creatrix too? I think its propper to refer to these mytholic illussive beings as an "it" and take off the male focus if we are naive about its gender.

I'm sorry if I offend anyone with this, I don't mean to.

I work at a fire department, and you see many firefighters that are very religious. Many people in the military are very religious.

I have a thought that many people with risky jobs like this hold onto religion to help them get through the day. It's nice to know that there's an afterlife in case you die risking your life like that, you know?

Has anyone else seen something of this sorts?

Even if Jesus cheated on his wife and disowned his children for being Muslim (like Ghandi did), would that really make any difference to the fact that he conveyed a beautiful message of love and forgiveness for humanity to love by for the sake of peace and prosperity?

And wasn't that an extremely long question?

Earlier this year, this group (without permission) used a cartoon drawing of Jewish comedian Jackie Mason with a text saying, "Jackie Mason ... a Jew for Jesus?" and handed out thousands of pamphlets on New York subways (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060825/us_nm/life_religion_mason_dc)

Mason, understandably angry, said "First of all there's no such thing as a Jew for Jesus. If you believe in Jesus you're a Christian. That's the point of Christianity. You can't be a table and also a chair.”

The Anti Defamation League alleges the group uses “Subterfuge and Deception” in trying to convert Jews, and lists a number of questionable activities
(http://www.adl.org/special_reports/jews4jesus/jews4jesus.asp).

What do you think...is the "Jews for Jesus" group playing fair or crossing the line, and why?
