"TOPEKA, KS—In response to a Nov. 7 referendum, Kansas lawmakers passed emergency legislation outlawing evolution, the highly controversial process responsible for the development and diversity of species and the continued survival of all life."

So, this is intended as satire. But do you think it might be a prophecy?

"Born in the east and clothed in Oriental form and imagery,the bible walks the ways of all the world with familiar feet and enters land after land to find its own everywhere.It has learned to speak in hundreds of language to the heart of man. Children listen to its stories with wonder and delight,and wisemen ponder them as parables of life. The wicked and the proud tremble at its warnings,but to the wounded and the penitent it has a mother's voice. It has woven itself into our dearest dreams; So that Love,Friendship,Sympathy,Devotion,Memory,Hope,put on the beautiful garments of its treasured speech. No man is poor or desolate who has this treasure for his own. When the landscape darkens,and the trembling pilgrim comes to the valley of the Shadow,he is not afraid to enter; he takes the rod and staff of Scripture in hand;he says to friend and comrade, "Goodbye.We shall meet again" So,confronted by that support,he goes toward the lonely pass, as one walking through darkness,into light."

having been raised in chuch all my life, we where taught that you must be literally baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. and that all other forms of baptizm is not recognized by God. For instance I know that the baptist church baptizes in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We have been taught that with out the proper baptism the Holy spirit can not abide in you. I am bothered by this because i know many people who live very spiritual and holy lives who where baptised under this method. I don't mean to seem juvenile in my question, it's just when your raised to believe something it becomes a part of you that you don't necessarily want to believe but almost by repetitive force, forced to believe. It's kind of like you call a person ugly all his/her life they will begin to believe they are just that? So just remember these are things that have been taught for years and embedded, I want to grow beyond this stage and open my mind and my heart to and for the truth. Thanks.

People of all races can answer, of course (this is a free country), and the question is: Are you proud of being white, ashamed of being white, or do you simply accept your color as is, or not really care? Or something else?

I personaly believe heaven/hell were both started as rumors long ago to scare us/make us try to achieve better goals. Because obviusly there can't be a physical place where you go for all eternity after you die. Idk, give me your input.

In UK and USA white people are used to being in control and in power.. Basically they rule the country.... But ethnic minorities are growing in numbers and in the future in the USA it will be a power sharing system where non- whites have control moreso than the whites.. White people get scared when they feel that their own group is not in control or in the majority...
COuld this be one of the reasons for racism. Basically a feeling of insecurity from the white population that another ethnic group will take control....
I live in Ireland.,. 10 years ago i never saw a black person in my country.. Now there are quite a few of them ( nigerians) about.. The older generation will look at them in disgust and say "they are taking over the country"!! or "a few we dont mind but not so many" etc..
Whites have been in control of most of the world for 100`s of years, and in general traditionaly have seen themselves as the superior race .. how hard will it be for us to be equals in human race

I don't recall the churches of my youth addressing this question; however, I was contemplating this question the other day.

If WE whom are 'saved' believe that Christ is the son of God and only by believing in him as the son of god will we be guaranteed a place in heaven after the second coming. Right?

My question is; those hundreds of millions whom lived prior to the birth of Christ, are they automatically rejected from god's embrace and will therefore be consigned to an eternity in hell?

Serious question. I'm not a Christian, but there are a couple of holiday films I really love, and I think most people have a favorite or two.

This is a question for everybody, whatever your religion or lack of: What are your favorite Christmas-themed movies, and why?

Thanks for answering.

Any christian know the verse where it says there is only one mediator to heaven and it is Christ? Y do catholics still involve praying to other beings when it is ONLY Christ who will do it for you. And to be honest you can ask Christ up front you don't have to go to the saints the bishops the Virgin Mary the priest the deacons and then Jesus. Jesus alone saved you Jesus alone will help you.
