All these so-called 'Christian' leaders who have, and continue to, drag us into wars claiming 'God is on our side'. Especially Bush, who believes 'God is directing him' in his war on terror.

Did God not say 'Thou shalt not kill'?!

Its...... really, a VERY simple statement. Even Bush could understand that surely. Yet all of these war-mongering leaders conveniently seem to forget this command, which is hardly a minor one at that.

How could God possibly be on your side if you are killing people?!

When the Almighty God is One, unique and peerless, and knows about His oneness, then why in the Holy Quran he uses the plural pronoun (We) for Himself?

One of my teacher is so fat and ugly that we like insulting her everytime she enters our classroom. We take lots of pictures of her face when she's sleeping. I don't think i'm wrong of doing such things?

Dear brothers and sisters,


Christians claim that the only way to remove sins is through the blood of
Yeshua, they claim that the Tanak supports their views.


The Christians point to the Tanak and claim it supports their views that
sin is only removed through blood.


Let us have a closer critical look at the Tanak and see if it supports the
Christian views that the only way to be saved is through the blood of Yeshua.


The most commonly used verse from the Tanak by Christians is


Leviticus 17:11;


" For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you
upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood
that maketh an atonement for the soul. "


If this was the only verse in the entire Tanak, then it may support their
views but this is only a fraction of the guidelines of removing sins.


The Tanak goes into numerous Different methods of removeing sins and blood
is at the bottom of the list.


For Example the Tanak says you can also remove sins by;

giving charity Exodus 30:15-16 and Numbers 31:50, incense Numbers 16:46-47,
etc...


" The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half
a shekel, when they give an offering unto the Lord , to MAKE AN ATONEMENT
FOR YOUR SOULS . And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of
Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before
the LORD, to MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR YOUR SOULS . "( Exodus 30:15-16 )


"We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord , what every man hath
gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and
tablets, to MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR OUR SOULS before the Lord . " ( Numbers
31:50 )


Furthermore, blood sacrifices were only preformed for unintentional sins
(Leviticus 4:2-3 ,Leviticus 5:15 , and Numbers 15:22-31).


"If a soul commit a trespass, and SIN THROUGH IGNORANCE , in the holy
things of the Lord; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord a
ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of
silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
"(Leviticus 5:15)


"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall SIN THROUGH
IGNORANCE against any of the commandments of the Lord which ought not to be
done, and shall do against any of them: If the priest that is anointed do
sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin,
which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a
sin offering. "( Leviticus 4:2-3 )


"And if any soul SIN THROUGH IGNORANCE , then he shall bring a she goat of
the first year for a sin offering. And the priest shall make an atonement
for the SOUL THAT SINNETH IGNORANTLY , when he sinneth BY IGNORANCE before
the Lord , to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him." (
Novembers 15:27-28 )


If we take a closer look at the Logic behind Leviticus 17:11, we see that
the Christian opinion that the only way to remove sin is through blood is
even further not supported in the Torah.


For Example, Blood sacrifices would only be available to the rich who can
afford a animal.


Therefore the Blood sacrifices would not be for everyone as Christians suggest.


The Tanak made it clear that blood sacrafices was not the only way to
remove sins becuase it stated that if someone was too poor for a lamb, they
then could offer two turtledoves or two young (Leviticus 5:7)


It even goes further to show that blood was not the only means to salvation
by saying if you couldn't even afford pigeons, then use flour;


"But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then
he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of AN EPHAH OF
FINE FLOUR FOR A SIN OFFERING ; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall
he put any frankincense thereon: FOR IT IS A SIN OFFERING ." (Leviticus 5:11)


Since flour could be used for a sin offering, it is clear that blood was
not the only way to forgive sins.


The Christian claim that only blood sacrifices can forgive sins contradicts
the Tanak.


Throughout the Tanak, it states that everyone is responsible for their own
sins;


"But everyone will die for his own sin; each man who eats sour grapes, his
teeth will be set on edge" (Jeremiah 31:30).


"No man can by any means redeem his brother, or give to God a ransom for
him" (Psalms 49:7).


"So you shall not pollute the land in which you are; for blood pollutes the
land and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed
on it, except by the blood of him who has shed it!" (Numbers 35:33).


"The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the
father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's
iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the
wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself" (Ezekiel 18:20).


"Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to
death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin"
(Deuteronomy 24:16, II Kings 14:6).


Therefore the Death of Yeshua for everyone's sins is not supported by the
Tanak.

Me and my colleagues had a healthy debate yesterday. I assumed that all guys stand up to wipe their @rse - and was surprised to discover that many remain seated.

It's time we did a poll. Are you a sitter or a stander?!

Now where I live Strip Clubs are big, and when you go in one if your damn sexy like me most of the strippers will sit in your lap, probably fondle your balls, ask you for one of your cigarettes, and then ask if you would like a lap dance, we have all experienced this right fellas!? so my good question here is what is the more appropriate thing to say if you don't "dig" that particular stripper, say like me you have the uncanny ability to spot fake ****, no matter how good the job, and you want her to go away, instead of merely yelling "Get off me *****!", I want to use a more polite method since the good old' "get off me *****!" routine is starting to get me bounced out of the establishments becuase the hos are ratting me out and all. any suggestions?

Okay, okay - a gross subject - but, nonetheless an intriguing taboo subject from which to extract some sticky answers.

Personally, if they're of the medium-hard variety I like to flick them against walls or against the back seats of taxis. If snotty I'll often rub them into my hands until they magically disappear.
