It's a special program previewing the new movie " Obsession Radical Islam's War on the West ".
What did you think of it ?
Interestingly enough..... All news outlets, liberal and conservative, are recommending that movie as . . ." Required Viewing " for ALL AMERICANS. Anyone who didn't see it yet should either 'search' the website or you are welcome to email me about it.
SHOCKING

its very possible his rising from the dead means he just got better and made noise and freaked the guards out, considering the lack of education of the times this would seem possible, even in the 1800s they buried people they thought were dead but were actually still alive, if he actually survived it would have freaked people out enough to believe he had risen from the dead, due to thier lack of independent thinking and knowledge, 10 year olds today are brighter and more educated then they were 2000 years ago and if your high priest said it was so then you just believed him,i know i will get the radical christians saying that i am going south for eternity but is that really independent thinking of them,

Well, I've always thought that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit were equal and the same, but in church, the gospel reading was Mark 13: 24-32, and the last bit "But as for the day or hour, nobody kows it, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son; no one but the Father" seems to imply the Father's superiority over the Son. And the fact that Christ constantly alludes to the fact that He does the Father's will and all imply that God the Father is greater than God the Son. I think I remember my priest saying once that Father, Son and Holy Spirit were one and the same, so is there like a hierachy thing going on up there? To tell you the truth, I'm the sort of Catholic whose only exposure to the bible is during mass and the occasional flick through at home, as well as the mysteries of the rosary, so i pretty much suck.

A viewer wrote in to ask Pat Robertson a question

"Why [do] evangelical Christians tell non-Christians that Jesus (God) is the only way to Heaven? Those who are Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, etc. already know and have a relationship with God. Why is this? It seems disrespectful."

Robertson replied that it is not at all disrespectful because all other religions really just worship "demonic powers."

"No. They don't have a relationship. There is the god of the Bible, who is Jehovah. When you see L-O-R-D in caps, that is the name. It's not Allah, it's not Brahma, it's not Shiva, it's not Vishnu, it's not Buddha. It is Jehovah God. They don't have a relationship with him. He is the God of all Gods. These others are mostly demonic powers. Sure they're demons. There are many demons in the world."

'Demonic powers"? Good grief, Pat, who still believes in demons anymore? Is this what Christians really think about other religions of the world? Of all the conceited arrogance...

now i will say that am not a athiest, but am a non believer, i have a sense of humour, and i can handle it when a religious person has a go at the non believer, but there are sum of you atheists that are intent on causing these people hassle what is your problem i mean you report these poor people because they have a opinion, and belief sumthing you dont, aint it time you grow up and accept that you will never win, have your say by all means but getting these people banned because your bitter and jelous is sad
religion is here to stay wether you like it or not, does it really affect you that bad, i doubt it, everyone thinks religion is bad but am begining to think that you so called atheist are worse, every nation on this planet has been brought up from religion, so your all hypocrite's including myself because i have big doubts about god and i belief in evolution, but evolution is just a theory so have a open mind, time to grow up and STOP reporting christians

After reading some questions and answers on here,I can see that this topic can bring out the worst in people! My personal views are that love is a blessing,everybody should have the right to celebrate their love,and children with 2 loving parents are very lucky children!! People don't choose to be gay-it's innate-they are born that way and often realize it at a very early age. Ergo-THAT'S THE WAY GOD MADE THEM. We are all who we are and what we are for a reason. Can anybody give me a VALID reason to think differently?

P.S. A person cannot be made gay-just like a person cannot be made straight. And no,I am not gay-I just accept people on their own merits.

Quote I found today, which made me think of this question:

An inner power needed to make accurate decisions is the power to tolerate. Tolerance is not about having to put up with or endure. It's about respect for difference. It is about being able to appreciate diversity, the beauty in that diversity and difference. We need confidence to allow others to do what they are doing. Rigidity is a sign of lack of self confidence and self respect. It is better to have peace with someone than to have 100 percent perfection and tension. The quality of interaction comes from our ability to stop (that is not to be affected or influenced by what the other is doing). When I learn to stop, then I become more perceptive of the situation and am able to do make the right decision.
