The "First Vision" story in the form presented to you was unknown until 1838, eighteen years after its alleged occurrence and almost ten years after Smith had begun his missionary efforts. The oldest (but quite different) version of the vision is in Smith's own handwriting, dating from about 1832 (still at least eleven years afterwards), and says that only one personage, Jesus Christ, appeared to him. It also mentions nothing about a revival. It also contradicts the later account as to whether Smith had already decided that no church was true. Still a third version of this event is recorded as a recollection in Smith's diary, fifteen years after the alleged vision, where one unidentified "personage" appeared, then another, with a message implying that neither was the Son. They were accompanied by many "angels," which are not mentioned in the official version you have been told about. Which version is correct, if any? Why was this event, now said by the church to be so important,

Not since Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses has the publication of a book, SHAME a Novel Taslima Nasrin, provoked such mob violence, public outcries for the arrest and death of the author, and international efforts to secure her safety.

The animosity and bloodletting between Muslim and Hindu extremists on the Indian subcontinent is centuries old. When the Barbri Mosque at Ayodhya, India, was destroyed by Hindu fundamentalists on December 6 1992, fierce mob reprisals took place against the Hindu minority in Muslim Bangladesh.

These incidents form the backdrop for Dr Taslima Nasrin's explosive and courageous book describing the nightmarish fate of one family within her country's small Hindu community.

Shame (or Laija in Bengali) demonstrates Dr. Nasrin's determination to speak out in favor of Islamic reform, religious tolerance and freedom of expression, and against Muslim extremism and other forms of fundamentalism.

Spurgeon writes, "Chance is banished from the faith of Christians, for they see the hand of God in everything."

If you were to observe this day without the concept of "chance" playing a part in your conclusions, just quietly observe and ACT instead of REact to all of your external happenings... Do you think you would better see God in all of this, your life? I do.

We often REact according to the desires of our flesh never thinking about the cause and effect of our reactions, failing to ever ACT according to God's Word or His will in our lives.

I have spent days in silence, observing and making a concious effort to ACT according to God's Word rather than REACT to the world around me according to the desires of my flesh. My eyes were opened. I have seen God's hand in everything.

Even if you are not Christian, you can at least respect His teachings of love, mercy, compassion and piousness.

Considering Brits take over places like the Canaries and Spanish Costas every summer and expect the Spanish to like it or lump it, why all the bitching on this site about emmigration into Britain, let face it Britain controlled a fifth of the world at one stage, maybe your past is just coming back to haunt you.
There is nothing great about Britian anymore.

Just read some posts that need to be debated.

Evolution as in the fossil record is a fact.
Natural selection is fact, as in breeding, isolation, etc.

Random mutations that provide choices for selection are not a fact.

Random mutations cannot create 3 Billion lines of genetic code, that then are selected. That is science fiction.

Natural selection needs something to select, and that takes a lot of biology to be in place to begin with. The origins of life are unknown.

What property of matter possesses the property of consciousness? Where is consciousness in the brain? Researchers are tending toward dualism.

It takes great faith to believe in a solely materialistic and deterministic universe. That is ok. The dogmatic belief in unlikely theories, communicated as fact is not.

Wouldnt it be more threatening to evil people if you told them that they were going to heaven for their sins instead of hell? Good people are afraid of hell, so shouldnt evil people be afraid of heaven?
