Jesus Christ used the example of Noah to reveal attitudes that would predominate near the end:

"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be" (Matthew 24:37-39).

This is history and prophecy working together. Their meaning is clear: The attitude of people in Noah's day would prevail again just before Christ's second coming. To both groups God seemed far away, virtually unconcerned about human activities on earth, and life appeared to go on as it always had (2 Peter 3:3-6). These people would be unconcerned as to their true spiritual condition and blind to God's impending judgment.
God and the biblical warning signs until all havoc breaks loose. Like the people in Noah's time who laughed and mocked.

Well, this was part of the message, it talks about how you will get such good luck after you send it to 15 people in ONE HOUR. But I only sent 7 in one hour, and then the end of the message said if you don't send at least 10 you will get bad luck in the next week, but wait THAT'S CHRISTMAS, SO everything evens out, nothing bad could possibly happen on Christmas right? RIGHT? I know I sound totally superstitious but, a little girl's parents died because she didn't send the letter chain, well that's what the message said. SHOULD I BELIEVE AnY of this?!?

Do people like watching murder stories or something? This is sick and too much!

So why pollute the entertainment with stories of murder even a little bit?

According to modern Muslims, Muhammad is not to be depicted in drawings, sculptures, etc. Did you know that the US has a sculpture of Muhammad? Not just anywhere, but in Washington DC....in the Supreme Court Building....in the courtroom itself!

Interesting, huh?

I know there is but this is for all of the narrow minded Christians out there that seem to think that Gay people are any different than Hermaphrodites. They are born the way they are. It's not their fault. And no i'm not Gay.

Matthew 5
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

What rights do you have when a bill collector calls you to get payment for a bill. This is the story I owe $340 to a doctor that I am fight with my insurance to pay because I was refered to the doctor while I was pregnant. I am now not working and so I can not pay the bill my self and I don't want my childrens father to pay it when he is paying everything eles(house payment, car payment, even Christmas alone). Today a collection agency called me and the woman treated me as if I was a childshe could scream at (if she screamed at one of my children the way she screamed at me I would have her put in jail for abuse). I was harassed verbal by this woman and then when I asked for her manager I was further harassed by her and then transfered to a man the wanted to know nothing about the harassment and all about when I could pay the bill I told him I only need another month and I would pay it in full if the insurance didn't but I wanted to know what he would do about the woman

You'd think, because it's the 21st century, that people would be more open-minded. Why is sexual orientation such a big deal? Also, why is it becoming such a political matter? Gay marriage really has nothing to do with politics.
