Luke 21
25Strange things will happen to the sun, moon, and stars. The nations on earth will be afraid of the roaring sea and tides, and they won't know what to do. 26People will be so frightened that they will faint because of what is happening to the world. Every power in the sky will be shaken. [b] 27Then the Son of Man will be seen, coming in a cloud with great power and glory. 28When all of this starts happening, stand up straight and be brave. You will soon be set free.
31So, when you see these things happening, you know that God's kingdom will soon be here. 32You can be sure that some of the people of this generation will still be alive when all of this takes place. 33The sky and the earth won't last forever, but my words will.



A Warning
34Don't spend all of your time thinking about eating or drinking or worrying about life. If you do, the final day will suddenly catch you 35like a trap. That day will surprise everyone on earth. 36Watch out and keep praying that you can escape all that is going to happen and that the Son of Man will be pleased with you.

When my parents found out my buddy Zach was gay, my Mom told me that if I was she would support me no matter what. My Dad skirted the issue entirely and changed the subject. I know his family will probably disown me, but I'm not sure how my Mom's family will react. They seemed fine with my buddy being gay, but it is slightly different when it is your own family. Any advice on coming out but not a too "in your face" approach?

One note for the religious people who will undoubtably be answering my question by bringing Jesus and God into the picture, I AM AN ATHEIST.

Help would be greatly appreciated!!

It seems that these religions pray to Saints instead of God. Isn't it God that answers prayers, not St. Jude or The Virgin Mother?

Is it true that women wear veils to protect themselves from muslim men? I was given the example that if 2 women were walking and one was wearing a veil, the other wearing less clothes, it is a GIVEN that the muslim men will tease the one wearing less clothes. Does that mean it is a GIVEN that muslim men cannot control their urges and temptations enough to stop themselves from disprespecting someone's mother/daughter or wife?
Why do muslim women have to wear veils to protect themselves from men? Isn't the man supposed to be protecting the woman?
How weak can these men be?

The same happend in 1980s whan US supported a military dictaor, who killed democracy and an elected Prime Minister, just to fight US proxy war against the then USSR in Afghanistan. The war was designed by US who supplied weapons, financed by Arab oil money and fought by muslims religeous zeal. Both US and Pakistan' militry are responsible for the two million deaths in Afghanistan since 1980s and the aftermath. US is repeating the same blunder by supporting a dictator in Pakistan just to persue its socalled war on terror. It is actually US war on US past policies. What do you say in this regard?

i feel that i SHOULD (aka obligated) to forgive my father for something that i feel strongly about. I know i should because it's what a good child of God would do, but i can't bring my self to do this because i would be lying--aka breaking a commandment, which would add on to the whole being a bad child of christ.
What to do??

My European friends always criticize the USA. They say the aftermath of hurricane Katrina was racially motivated and most white Americans are bigots. I accuse them of the same exact bigotry because of their anti-American sentiments. So, is one being a bigot when he calls someone else a bigot?

Did any of them receive a burial in a tomb?Have we found their remains?Why not?Could it be that the law at that time mandated that all persons put to death be BURNED?People used to take their children to the burn piles where they burned the criminals and warn that a life of wrongdoing led to this as they watched the bodies being burned.The reason there are no remains of Jesus is because he was burned like the rest of the criminals who were crucified.Otherwise,where are his neighboring crucified bretheren?Can anyone supply me with one corpse of the three that were crucified at that time?The very ones that put him to death were not going to change their minds to allow him to be enterred in Holy sacriment upon his death.That resurrection crap is a hoax!!!!!Now,when you decide to drill me with your Christian scorn,do so with hard core PROOF!!!
