In all the Muslim protest mobs I saw, nowhere to be found was a Papal Flag.

Do you think Vatican City should get a flag?

Its funny that in our world the greatest trick that Satan has pulled is convincing the world that he does not exist. In analyzing our current society ( especially America where I live) you see so much about the judgmental and wicked church trying to judge everyone and its so funny to me that people say because the HUMANS in the church say or do something that the philosophy of a religion is faulted. Christianity teaches not to judge and to love thy neighbor however Christians neglecting these principal cornerstones of our religion seem to be the ones to speak for Christianity and how homosexuals are horrible abominations and abortions seekers deserve to burn in hell. These so called Christians are farthest away from Christianity.
If people were truly capable of following the principal tenets of the religion I think the world would have a different conception of the religion.
LETS STOP CONFUSING THE ACTIONS OF THOSE WHO WORSHIP A RELIGION AS PROOF THAT THAT RELIGION IS EVIL.

Times have changed so much! It used to be that halloween was a spooky night, full moon, scary trees (no leaves), ghosts and goblins, witches, jack-o-lanterns, scarecrows, ghost stories and such. Now, it's spiderman, princesses, ninja turtles, Barney, etc.. When and why did things change so much? Aren't we still supposed to make the demons think we're one of them so they don't "get" us?

I was making a friend a cup of tea at her house when suddenly she yelped, "WHY do you do that?" I almost dropped the cup. It turns out that whenever I take a cup from the cupboard or shelf, in my own house or elsewhere, I automatically lift it to my nose and sniff it! I couldn't believe it so I asked my husband and some other friends and they all agreed, that it's a strange habit but I always do it. I feel weird now!
Has anyone else discovered one of their own habits only after someone mentions it?

If you have never accepted Christ...
...the good news is that you can make sure you will spend eternity with Jesus in Heaven. It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done. Jesus loves YOU personally very much. He even died so YOU can have eternal life, then He rose from the dead to prove it!

...But you must first believe and mix it with faith.
If you are sincere and want to be ready to meet Jesus, pray this simple prayer from your heart:

Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I need forgiveness. I am sorry for my sins and I don't want to sin against You anymore. I believe You are the Son of God and You died on the cross for MY sins. I also believe that you rose from the dead so that I, too, may have victory over the grave. Please forgive me now Lord and cleanse me. Come into my heart and give me a new life. Thank You, Jesus, for shedding your blood for me and for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen.

Jesus says in Luke 15:10: "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

I'm not gay and I'm not going to convert. Anytime I ask anything about gay people Christians, not all, ask me "why are you gay" or something along these lines and tell me I need Jesus.

Is this a product of the b word, the word that ends in rainwashing? I thought the answer was ethnocentrism, but it happens to often.

Now i belive in god but i would just like to here your debates agaist evoulution to make me have strong faith

NEW YORK (AP) -- Scientists have discovered a remarkably complete skeleton of a 3-year-old female from the ape-man species represented by "Lucy."
The discovery should fuel a contentious debate about whether this species, which walked upright, also climbed and moved through trees easily like an ape.
The remains are 3.3 million years old, making them the oldest known skeleton of such a youthful human ancestor.
"It's pretty unbelievable" to find such a complete fossil from that long ago, said scientist Fred Spoor. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime find."
Spoor, professor of evolutionary anatomy at University College London, describes the fossil in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature with Zeresenay Alemseged of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and other scientists.
The skeleton was discovered in 2000 in northeastern Ethiopia. Scientists have spent five painstaking years removing the bones from sandstone, and the job will take years more to complete.
Judging by how well it was preserved, the skeleton may have come from a body that was quickly buried by sediment in a flood, the researchers said.
The creature was a member of Australopithecus afarensis, which lived in Africa between about 4 million and 3 million years ago. The most famous afarensis is Lucy, discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, which lived about 100,000 years after the newfound specimen.
Most scientists believe afarensis stood upright and walked on two feet, but they argue about whether it had ape-like agility in trees.
That climbing ability would require anatomical equipment like long arms, and afarensis had arms that dangled down to just above the knees. The question is whether such features indicate climbing ability or just evolutionary baggage.
Spoor said so far, analysis of the new fossil hasn't settled the argument but does seem to indicate some climbing ability.
While the lower body is very human-like, he said, the upper body is ape-like:
• The shoulder blades resemble those of a gorilla rather than a modern human.
• The neck seems short and thick like a great ape's, rather than the more slender version humans have to keep the head stable while running.
• The organ of balance in the inner ear is more ape-like than human.
• The fingers are very curved, which could indicate climbing ability, "but I'm cautious about that," Spoor said. Curved fingers have been noted for afarensis before, but their significance is in dispute.
A big question is what the foot bones will show when their sandstone casing is removed, he said. Will there be a grasping big toe like the opposable thumb of a human hand? Such a chimp-like feature would argue for climbing ability, he said.
Yet, to resolve the debate, scientists may have to find a way to inspect vanishingly small details of such old bones, to get clues to how those bones were used in life, he said.
Bernard Wood of George Washington University, who didn't participate in the discovery, said in an interview that the fossil provides strong evidence of climbing ability. But he also agreed that it won't settle the debate among scientists, which he said "makes the Middle East look like a picnic."
Overall, he wrote in a Nature commentary, the discovery provides "a veritable mine of information about a crucial stage in human evolutionary history."
The fossil revealed just the second hyoid bone to be recovered from any human ancestor. This tiny bone, which attaches to the tongue muscles, is very chimp-like in the new specimen, Spoor said.
While that doesn't directly reveal anything about language, it does suggest that whatever sounds the creature made "would appeal more to a chimpanzee mother than a human mother," Spoor said.
The fossil find includes the complete skull, including an impression of the brain and the lower jaw, all the vertebrae from the neck to just below the torso, all the ribs, both shoulder blades and both collarbones, the right elbow and part of a hand, both knees and much of both shin and thigh bones.
One foot is almost complete, providing the first time scientists have found an afarensis foot with the bones still positioned as they were in life, Spoor said.
The work was funded by the National Geographic Society, the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University, the Leakey Foundation and the Planck institute

According to early Vedic Hinduism, there were two paths to Salvation.
1. The Karma marg that stated even a man or women who did not believe in God went to heaven if he had performed good deeds and was a good person.
2. The Bhakti marga stated that if a man had his personal path to salvation and aligned his life to whatever divinity he believed in, irrespective of the path, as long as it led him to pious deeds, he would go to heaven.

Thus, whether you were Christian, Jewish, Atheist, Agnostic, Gay, etc, you had your means for personal salvation.

Thus, though I am an agnostic, and sometimes wonder if there is a heaven like place to which we go, if there is one, I believe all people go there irrespective of their beliefs and only on the basis of the content of their lives.

That is just mine. I am interested in knowing, that IF there was a heaven, who do you think would go there? I would assume you would base this on your beliefs.
