Society & Culture - 26 October 2006

Just wondering why people actually read, and, more to the point, BUY this crap.

Jack Chick has mad literally millions by telling lies about religions that he doesn't agree with. From saying that Pagans sacrifice humans and animals, to saying that Catholics WORSHIP mary. Anyone in either religion knows these to be patently false. Still he gets away with it, and the poor unsuspecting readers actually believe it.

When did lying about other religions become acceptable practice for Christians? Does the command about bearing false witness not apply when talking about other religions?

When did Jack Chick become the accepted authority on Salvation; I don't see the prayer he describes as the correct one in any book in the Bible? If there were a correct formula, woudn't Jesus have told his disciples?

What really gets me is that people are wasting trees to make paper for these rags that could better be used when answering nature's call.

there is a term used for the following situation but I have forgotten it. It is when a person is extremely attracted to another individual, looks into the other person's eyes and can't look away..there is a resulting feeling of the bottom dropping out of your stomach...I have heard it called a "psychic orgasm" but dont' know if thats the correct term. I guess "psychic" would make it "spiritual" for those who will grumble about me posting this here..LOL

Christians don't believe in evolution right? If they don't believe in the theory of evolution, how do they explain it? (This is not meant to insult or start a fight, I am generally curious)

There are two historical eyewitness accounts to Christ’s life. Mathew and John
Mark was with Peter and wrote Peter's accounts and Luke was a doctor and wrote all he could collect and put his stories in an orderly fashion so that he could explain Christ to a friend.

All have been dated back to the 1st century when Jesus was alive.

In fact we have more information about this Jewish Carpenter, than we have about the Emperor of Rome during that same time.

The manuscripts of the Bible out weigh in number the copies of Roman History at that time. They are better copies and earlier copies than we have of Roman History during that time.

If Matthew Mark Luke and John can be trusted as proof, the whole bible is proof. Our proof in Christ is proven throughout history.

of his children have suffered through out history and currently?

I asked something like this once before and the response I got was if you feel bad about the starving people in the world then feed them and if you seek to end poverty then show charity.

However, if a mother gives birth to a baby and then leaves the baby to fend for itself even though the mother has the ability to feed the baby and shelter the baby, does that make it my fault that the mother did that and my responsibility that the mother did that?Sure I could take the baby in and so forth.But what if it was a million mothers who gave birth to a million babys.Am I still suppose to take them all in?Or is there a point where it's the mothers responsiblity and not mine?

I put forth that God is a neglectful parent and should be held accountable.

Agreed?

When the disrespectful depictions of the Holy Prophet were drawn, the westerns cried: FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION! FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Now when a Muslim criticizes the way their women dress they cry KILL HIM, SHOOT HIM, DEPORT HIM! HE CAN'T SAY THAT! TAKE IT BACK! WAH WAH WAH! WHAT A BUNCH OF CRY BABIES!! What happened to freedom of speech? Freedom of religion? Or is that just for your white country club types? Amazing how the media hates Islam so much that they blow up something that's nothing.

P.S. I was born in America so I understand this so-called Western mentality, but I'm not one of those crackpots I'm referring to... peace to all my Muslim brothers and sisters and to all of the truly faithful believers. This is just to expose some of the hypocrisy in this crazy world.

True I cannot spell (Christ is perfect I am not) but I have been educated in other areas. If you would like to know, I could also care less about were a comma goes. I hated english, always have.

If you have any proof (a study of any kind) send it my way. Please, prove me wrong.........
