Based on the question I asked before (Now that Ted Haggard has been caught would you say that all Evangelical leaders are gay dopeheads?) why do some people insist on saying that all priests are child molesters.

Notice that I said some people...I realize that there are many out there that do not judge others and that is wonderful, but there are many who do.

Just an observation.

God bless,
Stanbo

Where the whale came from?

Charles Darwin, always ready to come up with a theory about everything, explains how the "monstrous whale" originated:

"In North America the black bear was seen by Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."—*Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species (1859 and 1984 editions), p. 184.

Thats what Darwin thought, So that bear was swimming around out in the ocean all that time, till the change came? Can anyone please answer me this, I can’t seem to figure it out?

"As one creationist pamphlet put it, ‘A frog turning instantaneously into a prince is called a fairy tale, but if you add a few million years, it’s called evolutionary science.’ "—*Op. cit., p. 399.

liberal agenda of not just tolerance but complete embracing anti-God, anti-religion, pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality--as normal and standard. It's not folks. God did not make us that way. US Citizens are forced pay for the lewd lifestyle by paying for abortions and hospital and medical costs of homosexual's diseases like AIDS. They make up 1% of society but 20% of hospital patients. I do NOT hate or even dislike homosexuals personally, but I do not appreciate having to pay their bills or having their lifestyle pushed as if it was a normal love relationship. It isn't so in nature, neither is it a normal human relationship or arrangement.

'Black girls straighten their hair to look white.' First off, not every black person has kinky/nappy hair. I have naturally curly hair. I chemically straighten and bleach my hair out of free will, not to be someone else. I don't date the majority of black guys or hang out with black people so I automatically "hate myself". I'm bi-racial, and I love all parts of me. It's just that I don't agree with most of their lifestyles, I'm not really physically attracted to them, and we usually don't like the same things. Like rap, I just don't agree well with it. I know other races listen to rap too, so whatever. Most of the black people I have met, are also ghetto and I can not stand ghetto people. I especially hate when the "n*gg*" word is used. Back to the physical attraction, I don't really like dark skin or kinky hair that feels like a rug. I prefer tanned to lighter with curly, wavy, or straight hair. It's just a personal preference for me.

In English, we have a game called "Pig Latin". In this language game, we move the first consonant sound of the word to the end of the word, and then add the sounds [ei] at the end. In other words, the phrase "long time" in Pig Latin would be "onglay imetay".

Many languages have similar sound games. Please describe similar games that you can do in your native language.

I am a christian, however, I dont feel like it is right to base our countries foundation on one religion, or one groups beliefs. I personally don't agree with abortion, stem cell (when creating embryos for this purpose, but ok to use embryos that will be destroyed anyway) or assisted suicide (for terminally ill patients); but I also am against forcing religion on others too. Jesus never forced anyone to do or abide by anything.

Jesus said in MATTHEW 24:4 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you." Jesus was talking about the end times, He was warning us about a great deception thats going to take place. He also mentions that MATTHEW 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect." So even the elect shall be decieved, meaning that even His great followers like priests, pastors etc shall be decieved. Then in REVELATION 13:3 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." He says that the whole world will follow the beast. In Matthew Jesus talks about a way that seems right to His children, but that way leads to destruction.
My question is this: Is it possible that the whole world is decieved in believing something that is not true, like a false christianity?

I would personally be flattered to have others take interest in my culture. Why is it when whites or asians act "ghetto", it is considered offensive to black people? How people sometimes act is depended on the way they were taught and the environment they grew up in. Some do not act such way to purposely imitate blacks, but simply because they are being their true selves.

The purporters of the principle that every Muslim must intellectually prove Allah's existence to himself (such as Hizb ut Tahrir) often compare the belief of the person born into a muslim family, with the belief of the people of Ibraaheem alaihis salaam who rejected the call of Ibraaheem because they blindly adhered to the religon of their forefathers : " When he (Ibraaheem) said to his father and his people: What are these images to which you are devoted? They said : We found our fathers worshipping them." [ al Anbiyah 21:52-53] Thus they argue, just as the people of Ibraaheem believed in idolatry, blindly, without question, many of us too do not have intellectual but blind and emotional faith in Allah. To support this idea, they will often quote the following verse in soorah Muhammad : " Know that laa ilaaha illallaah" [47:19]. From this verse they deduce that Allah is telling mankind to know ( i.e prove to yourself, rather than just trust in your inherent belief) that Allah exists.

tell me how are the job opportunities in australia? I know one fact that if you really work hard in states, you can be very rich. However, i dont know if it is also true for Australia. Almost everyone has a craze for USA; i have never heard anyone talking abt Australia. Do you believe that no other country is like USA and no matter how much the Asia or Europe grows, USA is not likely to lose its popularity? Most people say One is lucky to be from USA, is it true?

Yes or No, Simple question.
You either believe He can ( Creationist )
or you believe He can't or wouldn't like He said He did in His Words ( Evolutionists ).

Another like question: Can God create a full grown Tree, by merely speaking it into existence, Yes or No

If He can, then why don't you believe Him when He clearly tells us how He created the Earth and everything on it.
If you think He can't, well your just WRONG, its that simple.

In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ
