What if he said the bible was about morals and an esoteric way of explaining evolution, nature and natural selection, and the Christians took it way too literal and didn't get the meaning of it at all. What if he turned to you with utter discontent and dissapointment and condemned you to hell? He might say that he expected the majority not to get it, thus leaving the few true followers of science and logic behind to start earth all over with a better start than what we had when the loony Christians were mucking everything up.

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE PRESENT.

It seems like a lot of lower income families are more likely to have a larger number of children, and not all of them are on welfare.

What do you feel are some of the reasons why lower income families have more children?

The book, "Tempting Faith,", Author David Kuo's conservative Christian credentials are impeccable; his resume sprinkled with names like Bennett and Ashcroft. Now, as the Foley cover-up has many evangelical Christians wondering whether the G.O.P. is really in sync with their values, "Tempting Faith" provides the answer: No way. Kuo, citing one example after another of a White House that repeatedly uses evangelical Christians for their votes--while consistently giving them nothing in return; A White House which routinely speaks of the nation's most famous evangelical leaders behind their backs, with contempt and derision. Kuo's bottom line: the Bush White House is playing millions of American Christians for suckers. According to Kuo, Karl Rove's office referred to evangelical leaders as 'the nuts.'
Kuo says, 'National Christian leaders received hugs & smiles in person and then were dismissed behind their backs & described as 'ridiculous,' 'out of control,' 'just plain goofy'

Hosea 9:11-16 Hosea prays for God’s intervention. “Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. Give them, 0 Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. . .Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.” Clearly Hosea desires that the people of Ephraim can no longer have children. God of course obeys by making all their unborn children miscarry. Is not terminating a pregnancy unnaturally “abortion”?

Numbers 5:11-21 The description of a bizarre, brutal and abusive ritual to be performed on a wife SUSPECTED of adultery. This is considered to be an induced abortion to rid a woman of another man’s child.

Numbers 31:17 (Moses) “Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every women that hath known man by lying with him.” In other words: women that might be pregnant, which clearly is abortion for the fetus.

It used to be that we shared the same places to worship. Then Christianity started ruling the world with an Iron fist. They destroyed our places of worship, then began to torture, burn, drown and crush Pagans as heretics.
Today, Christian parents are told to keep their children and themselves far away from anything remotely resembling paganism, such as Harry Potter, the Mists of Avalon and such.
It seems that they fear that Paganism seen in a positive light will sway them. I'm confident enough in my faith to know that I can respect many Christians deeply without having to adopt their religion. Why aren't Christians strong enough to do the same?

For the longest time I thought it was me, now I realize since im not locked up in a padded room suffering from the spasms of my brain, I must not be crazy. But in this world of lies and insulation you have to walk the path of insanity to find the meaning of being sane. This way you can subjectively define what the meaning is.
Now does that make me crazy or the world I live in?

I went to lunch and was standing in line at Jack in the Box the woman in front of me is on the cell phone talking, when it's her turn and the clerk asks for her order she tells the clerk she's on a call you'll have to wait a minute, the clerk asked me for my order and the woman got rude to me and the clerk, Telling me to step back in line and wait my turn and then told the clerk that she was there 1st. I looked at her and placed my order, and then listened to her tell who she was talking to how rude I was even though she wasn't ready to order cause she was still on her phone.

I know how the Celts were pushed into England, but when?

What role did (those who were to become Americans) play in England?

We were slaves to the King, were'nt we? Therefore we spoke "Low English" when we lived in England? Or "Low German"?

The Ten Commandments as in The Holy Bible
Exodus 20
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Sabbath is the 7th Day of Creation and Saturday is the 7th Day of Week which has not changed since the beginning of creation. Since when was Sabbath changed? So we are not following the Ten Commandments. Is it true?
