What are your thoughts onTrinity Broadcasting Network's colorful version of Little Bo Peep Jan Crouch? Her big ol'e pink Miss Texas hair wigs, big ol'e dime store jewelry and make-up, and barbie doll clothes are an atroscity. The worst part is when she opens her mouth and babbles....trying to bleed all the poor grandma's out there for thier grocery money so thier tv ministry can reach the masses. Watching her bat those larger than life tarantuala eyelashes, with mascara running down her face is kinda like watching a train wreck....you can't help but watch, lol

Yup, that's the viewers money at work for ya....and it's actually quite sad so many are duped by her and her husband. Your thoughts?

Either short stories, or long novels, or even comic strips or whatever works of art or fiction that handeled the conflict between science and religion, especialy if it was a satire or a parody. Thank you.

Seriously, I'm getting tired of people using quotes from the bible to back up their opinion on an issue that is not fiction based, i.e.

Is this wrong? Why should we do this? What happened many years ago?

versus

Who is Job? What motivated Ezikiel? Was Jesus a dirty rat bastard?

If you think that the Bible is true word for word, why? I can see how people see it as a good rule of thumb, but as universal truth? Come on. Convince me that I can use the many times translated and edited book to live my life.

I have always been curious how many Americans actually know what Canada is all about? I've met a few cool American, who don't fit the stereotype, but more often then not, Canada is seen as some cold place full of retards. I've actually been asked if i live in an igloo. They were serious! Also, to all the Americans who drive into Canada in AUGUST with their ski's strapped to the roof of their cars, WE LAUGH AT YOU! Why don't Americans make an effort to show us and our country some respect in movies, or as artists. I hate how we are portrayed by American TV, and i hate the fact that the States are trying to Americanize us with their propaganda. I love my country, and i would love to see an interest shown by the States to learn more about us. Any feedback?

Christmas is directly related to pagan practices based upon the supposed birth of an ancient divinity from a rock. The matter was then related to Jesus Christ's birth when important Roman rulers supposedly converted to Christianism, and this some 300 yrs after Christ. So why do many Christian denominations celebrate that day if it is embracing pagan's faith?

To my knowledge, not many have heard of this one (at least in the debating I've done). In all honesty, this is one of the reasons (not the only) that I believe as a Christian that the Bible is divinly inspired by God. Scriptures such as Isaiah 52:13-53:12 are quite intreaging as well, but as far as I can see, this gematria phenomena is breathtaking.

Opinions, comments, rebutals, additional information... all are welcome within good taste.

(btw, I'm new to this place, so forgive me if this has already been brought up)

My mother attends a weekly christian fellowship in a neighbourhood. She likes going, although finds the majority of people quite depressing (most are elderly). I’m in my mid 30’s and she’s in her mid 60’s. I still live with her. Every time she goes to the group, she comes back feeling quite down. Yesterday, when I asked her how she was, she said, “Not very good. I don’t know how long I can keep going round there and face the fact that we’re in the same circumstances as Susie* (aged 79) and Stephen* (aged 46)”. What she means by this is it re-enforces the fact that me and my mother are all alone like Susie* and her son Stephen*. She keeps comparing me to Stephen* and says, “You’re just the same type as him - unmarried and is awkward with people like you are. Susie* and Stephen* have only got each other just like us two and it scares me. Susie’s* still worrying about Stephen* at the age of 46 and I dread that we’ll end up the same in years to come”.
I hate it when she compares me to Stephen* (as he’s an awful character) and I do tell my mother that I’m nothing like him and I can’t help it if I’m not married yet and have no family. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I hope the above makes sense. PLEASE HELP.

I dont want to be blamed for stealing it.
I dont want to throw it out into the street either.
