There is a lot of abuse flowing in the direction of Islam on account of the fundamentalist wing of the religion - looking at Christian fundamentalism - its opposition to science (ID/IC et al) - its push into world affairs (the support by End of the WOrld crowd for the Judaic right wings attempt to destroy the Blue Mosque and rebuild the Temple of Solomon) and its growing influence in the most interventionist US government ever (Bush) - is there not a reasonable argument the Christianity represents a greater threat to democracy, personal freedom and world peace than Islam or any other religion?

This would be like killing my child to reconcile for the misbehavior of my neighbor's child. I have the capacity simply to forgive and forget without demanding compensation for small offenses. Why can't God do this? Does he simply want blood?

Anybody give me proof of the missing link that is accepted fact ?
No skeletons of people suffering from brain microcephaly and no rat people from Pakistan please.
Newspapers regularly report that evolutionary “missing links” have been found. If the links really had been found there would be no need to report that a new missing link has been discovered.
The original specimen of the latest homo floresiensis(Flores man) does not represent a new species, but is a modern Homo sapiens with microcephaly. The PiltDown Man was a fake. What next for wannabe evolutionists waiting for the random chance human creation from ape ?

Have l seen the this verse in the Bible long ago,? can any body help to locate it for me ?
Something like this. "Due to events Christ has to come back early, lest even the elect be persuaded."
And l am wondering, is this equated with this big Muslim push to convert the world to there faith?
If this is the case ,"His second coming is near"

It's hard enough with Jews and Christians, who only get programed once or twice a week. But Muslims are programed at least five times a day. Anyone had any success with them?

Can anyone suggest a spell to help with my family's situation which is that my sister's biological dad rejects her and does n't want her in his life. I feel so bad for my sister and want to do something in the spiritual realm to help her reunite with her dad. I can not speak to her dad myself since he is in another country and I have n't even met him personally before. He is also very stubborn and does n't want anything to do with her so talking to him just is n't an option.

I know 2 sisters who are getting an inheritance from a grandfather. It is a very hefty sum of money. One sister wants to give 10% to charity (she has missionaries in her family who fund their own travels) I guess you could call it a tithe. It's the same as giving to a charity.
The other sister says she's stupid for doing so.
I have my own opinion but have to remain nuetral to keep the peace.
What do you say?

If God is not Rory Emerald and Rory Emerald is not Jesus, then doesn't that mean, God and Jesus are the same? But if Jesus was Rory Emerald and Rory Emerald was God, wouldn't that mean, Jesus and Rory Emerald and God are the same? But if God is only God and not Jesus, doesn't that mean Rory Emerald and Jesus are the same? And if Rory Emerald and God are the same but Jesus is not, doesn't that mean Rory Emerald is God?

" How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its
votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its
grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact
that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the extinction of slavery until the faith of Isalm has ceased to be a great power among men".
In the event this offends you somehow you may go on to the next
question. However I will continue with the 2nd paragraph and document the references in my profile next week 9-25 or 9-26.

This sounds pretty rational, doesn't it?

Dear God,

I am sorry but after making an inference based on a variety of sides of the argument and solid, untainted facts I have come to the conclusion that you don't exist. If you do exist and that what I have gathered is incorrect, then I am asking that you kill me before I finish this post and let me suffer a minute before I die so I can accept you so that I can apologize to you in heaven personally. If you do not I will assume I was right and continue living my life without a god based on my own logical evidence.
