Is it the greed of the Middle Class? Who want more than they can afford, and then
demand more pay, and more benefits? Which only lets the rich raise their
prices? And the Middle Class brings home more money, but doesn't have more any
more money, because everything costs more?
And the rich get richer, and the poor get clobbered?
Of couse it's not your greedy little heats at fault!

The doctrine of the Nicolaitans was mentioned in the Apocalypse of John Revelation chapter 2. It is a symbolic name of a group of people that represents the hierarchy of a ruling class over the rest of the people, developing a pecking order of fleshly leadership. Jesus hates this and warns the people to repent. It is not the question of the ministries but rather in the separation of them into a hierarchy over the people. This very idea was taken over by the Protestants with their own corruption of leadership roles and coverings. The Church of Ephesus was commended for hating the deeds of the Nicolaitans. The wrong separation of the clergy from the laity is a great evil in God's sight and He hates the lust for religious power over others. There is an ungodly spiritual authority in the Church today, which is nothing more than the prideful spirit of control, manipulation, domination and intimidation and a rebellion of the rightful authority of God. What do you think?

My co-worker invited me to a Thanksgiving Dinner at his family's place. Is it OK to bring like a bottle of wine with me as a present (I don't know if showing up empty handed will be too nice)? What kind of wine is appropriate?

I went jogging with my friend Seth the other day. He came out in extreamly tight shorts, which literally defined the shape of his genetalia. He threw me a wink and quoted, " Let's go work these "beotches" out," as he slapped his anus cheeks. He had never acted quite like this before. When we were done he said I looked "ripped" and that he would like to "hang out" inside. Feeling a bit funny about the situation I claimed to have a headache and trodded home. Do you think he was just playing or is my friend attracted to the same sex? I long suspected the Christopher Lowell posters in his room as a sign. Is he just pulling my leg or what? This I even find humorous, but still yet I must know. Believe it or not it's a true story. Please help me find my answer.

THE FOOLS, THE COMEDIANS!

Making the LEADERS look like FOOLS. Like it was FUN taking it up the BUTT!
The FUTURE wasn't worth caring about, and EVERYTHING was just a Big
JOKE!
And they LAUGHED themselves to RUIN.
Till the BARBARIANS came and CUT OFF their HEADS!

PEACE

I am alittle confused about what I am? I believe in God 100% & I believe that Jesus is is his son who died on the cross. I celebrate Christmas as the day we recognize as Jesus Christs birthday & I was brought up Lutheran. But I don't believe all that's in the Bible because man wrote it & I think that God made everyone & accepts everyone as they are icluding gays & lesbians, & I don't believe they are sinners. I believe in Heaven but I believe hell is a place that some people live in now with the misery some have. I do believe that you have to answer for eveything that you've done in life & before you can get to Heaven you will have to feel all the pain that you've caused others. My belief in the Christian religion was questioned because I don't believe everything in the Bible & the fact that I support gay marriage. Do you think that I'm a true Christian?

How can this threat of "burning in hell" still be a threat to anybody that has passed high school biology? When you die, your soul departs your body, your central nervous system ceases to function, thusly severly impairing your ability to "feel" things after death. So if you can connect logical thoughts together, then the threat of burning in a fire in hell has no cause to alarm you. But yet I will see the most seemingly knowledgeable people espouse the "don't do it, or you will burn in hell" saying so quickly. Does any do any research before they buy into a scam, or is everyone just a blind sheep these days? If you so readily believe in burning in hell, would you be interested in hearing about a great company named Amway? If you don't join my Amway pyramid, you will burn in hell!

I see so many people say that god will punish you for saying bad things or messing up (sining) now and then. then they say he is nice generous and forgiving. What differnece would it make if I killed 6,000,000 people but then said I was truly sorry (and I was) I still killed all those people but I would deserve hell as my fate. But I don't have an absolute sense of morality. God supposedly does.

I do not believe in any of the god theories I have heard thus far. But I don't think you can prove there is no god of one form or another. Technically I think I am agnostic, but for all practical purposes I call myself atheist. Which label do you think is more appropriate?

Gavin DeGraw has that song that says, "I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately/All I have to do is think of and I have peace of mind/I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do, and who I'm supposed to be/I don't want to be anything other than me/". Everywhere I go, I see posers, pretenders, hypocrites, and wannabes. They say that teenage years are when people struggle with identity. I think teenage years are when people BEGIN to struggle with identity. Even in churches, where some people go to find some genuineness, there just often is none of that nor is it encouraged. In our society, pretending is politically correct, and being real and genuine is offensive.

What is the difference between the Christian God, and any other God, in other religions beside satanism. God is the supreme being in all religions, so what if we call God by a different name or name different traits he/ she is still one and the same. For example lets say Group A knows Cynthia Brown and thinks she is nice and can do no wrong and they call her Cynthia. Group B knows Cynthia Brown and thinks she is a hard work, and very hot headed and call her Cyn. Is she still not the same person. Then why Can't god be called by one or more names? God is God.

A friend of mine is wanting me to draw a tattoo for her. She lived here in my home town and has been through alot of things in her life. All of a sudden, alot changed that really turned her life around. She was given a town home to live in near the beach (among other things). She's really happy now and wants a tattoo that represents the beach, the move, the new start. I'm going to do some research on sea creatures tomorrow, but if anyone has any input, I'd love to hear about it! Thank you!
