are you guys losing memebrs so fast that you feel the need to keep the numbers up?

and why if someone says they are not interested or have the same views as you, you automaticly tell them they are going to hell?

How can it possibly have cost that much, was it made of solid gold?
Why didn't they make it a competition to design a logo with say £5,000 going to the winner,that would have saved £395,000 which could have been put to better use.

I just found out (by searching Yahoo Answers) about a book called "Shadowplay : the hidden beliefs and coded politics of William Shakespeare" by Clare Asquith. I'm going to get it from the library tonight.

Since 1993 I've been trying to persuade people that there is a Catholic sub-text in Hamlet and Henry VIII. Please see my essays on Hamlet at
http://academia.wikia.com/wiki/Motifs_in_Hamlet
and
http://academia.wikia.com/wiki/More_Motifs_in_Hamlet

and my highly speculative biography of Shakespeare and his possible connections to the Catholic underground:

All children are born without concenpt of God, Allah, Zeus or antyhing. They only learn these things after being indoctrinated by their prevailing religion in their upbringing. Why is this poison continually supported. We should ban all religion from indoctrinating our children and cutting the flesh from them when they are born. Rabbis are giving baby boys Herpes and no one says anything.

Sunday my pastor was talking and he said most people beleive that when we die we instantly go to heaven and he asked how many of us thought that alot of us rasied our hands then he said we were wrong he said he was listening to a speaker online and he said when we die we are asleep until Jesus comes back and the only reason my pastor beleived this guy is because he used bible scriptures to show wat he was talking about. If you would like to go watch it. go to www.simplybiblical.com

I find it amazing how some christians here seem to have so little knowledge about the history of their faith and the circumstances in which it evolved.

Are some of them actively discouraged from learning about the history that their faith is based around?

I've been told, for the 10,000,000,000,000,000 time that I'm going to hell.
If that's true, do you think my non-belief justifies such eternal torture. I'm not asking if that is part of your faith, I'm asking if you as an individual think that is just?

1Cor.12: that the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone to profit/increase in their life. For to one is given the word of wisdom & another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit. To another faith by the same Spirt, to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerrning of spirits; to another different languages; to another interpreatation of this language. But all these working by the same Spirit of God... That the Spirit gives a measure to everyone of this gift or that... For the body is one ahd has many members and the members of one body being many are one body so also in Christ. For by one spirit we are all baptized into one body wherther Jews or Gentiles, or bond or free & have been all made to drink into one Spirit...

So, why do some people or Churches deny these gifts are meant to be in operation today?

Is it because some are rejecting God the Holy Spirit & therefore blaspeming?

I've been wiccan for about a month and am having trouble understanding the different pantheons. Are all the deities completely different? Or are the pantheons the same just with different names (ex. Zeus is Odin in Norse and vice versa, Aphrodite is Freya, etc. etc.)? Are are there just two, the God and Goddess and they just have a bunch of different names(ex. Zeus is Odin, Posiedon, etc.)?
I hope this doesn't confuse anyone.
Please no comments about the Christian God, I used to be Christian and don't believe in him anymore, respect my beliefs and I'll respect yours.
Thanks all.

...Are those the same Christians that claim this Religious section of Yahoo to be Christian property?

Or are those non-religious Christians not the same ones that claim to own a religious section? Non-religious people claiming a religious section would be rather silly, so it's probably two different denominations, right?

I always have a problem keeping the many Christian denominations apart, so excuse me if this question might sound ignorant.

gotta say all this, then thats the last from me on the McCann subject.
They are apparantely emotionless - well, unless you ARE the McCanns you cannot possibly explain away their composure on telly and in the papers. Valium perhaps? Its well known that all of the other parents ie the Wells, Chapmans, Paynes etc, were given medication (just read their books) in the early days and felt pretty much like zombies. Yes, they are even more emotionless than others, but they really are of a different 'class' (and I hate to use that word as I am not a class person myself) - they have been brought up to be reserved and dignified etc. I know I will get slammed for making that statement - ie how can they possibly be composed when their daughter is missing etc etc - but that is the way they are. You can't turn them into yourself and make them react the way you would. Perhaps they save it for private.

Catholics agree with Protestants that Scripture is a "standard of truth"—even the preeminent one—but not in a sense that rules out the binding authority of authentic apostolic Tradition and the Church. The Bible doesn’t teach that. Catholics agree that Scripture is materially sufficient. In other words, on this view, every true doctrine can be found in the Bible, if only implicitly and indirectly by deduction. But no biblical passage teaches that Scripture is the formal authority or rule of faith in isolation from the Church and Tradition. Sola scriptura can’t even be deduced from implicit passages.

That the Office of Prophecy is for special Word from the Lord for today, for the people. And the prophetic gifts are for to encourage someone personally in the congregation or someone that is seeking Christ.

That there aren't as many called to the office of Prophet as there are gifted prophetically?

It would be like reading a book on the front lawn while your house was burning down and doing nothing about it.

Theists have huge influence over the world that we live in.

They influence law makers.

They try to influence the education of our children.

They exercise tremendous control over communities. Communities that we live in as well.

Would you have us sit idly by and accept that whatever you guys want, we should blindly accept?

We have children to...........and we also care about what sort of world we want them to grow up in.

Or do you guys really think you have the moral high ground?

Are you really that arrogant?
