Exodus 20:4 says; Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Here is the way I see it.

The making of a graven image, mean’s, that you should not make a self-fit God. That means a God that fit’s yourself, either with your hands or your minds! And example of this is someone who says; My God isn’t a God of Wrath and Judgment, he one of Love and Mercy. He would never create a place called Hell!

When someone says this, agree with them, say, You’re right! Your god would never create a place called hell! He couldn’t. He doesn’t have the power to! Because, he doesn’t exist! He’s a figment of your imagination, in place of imagery. For you’ve molded and shaped a god to fit yourself. You’ve said, I’m the potter he’s the clay, and you’ve molded a god to fit you. Its called Idolatry! It’s the oldest sin in the Bible.

Guys, I realize that I could easily avoid reading idiotic posts like theirs, but Doris' recent posts regarding Matt Sheppard have done it in for me. I'm gathering support for appointing a moderator for the GLBT forum to get rid of trolls and hatemongers on a more immediate and long-lasting basis, and try to restore that sense of community back to this forum.

Here's all you have to do:
Click the link- http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/abuse/

Click on "Use this form if you are unsure where to direct your abuse report" near the bottom.

Fill out the info, and hit send. Affirmative action will work, folks. All it needs is a little effort on your part.

Creationists know that the theory of evolution contradicts itself, there are no intermediate species in the fossel record, fossels (and the earth) are only a few thousand years old, carbon dating is bunk, it's mathematically impossible for life to have developed from simple molecules, and the second law of thermodynamics absolutely disproves evolution.

So why has nearly every scientist in the world, joined in this vast, evil conspiracy to preach evolution and the old earth theory? Why do they spend millions of dollars that they get from the government to "study" fossels and biology and geology, but lie and make up "facts?" Why do these highly trained scientists from biology, geology, archaeology, mathematics, and even astronomy weave their lies together to make them work with the lies told by scientists from other fields? Why do they use this phony "carbon dating" just to attack Christianity and creationism?

Could they know something the religious creationists don't? Hmmm...

It simply means titles, of positions held. For example I am father, son, husband but let one man. No where does it indicate they are three separate persons. To believe in a trinity is to admit your belief is in Idolatry Isaiah 44: 8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it ? Ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God
beside me; I know not any. This proves that only one God and his name is Jesus.

Let me see if I have this straight:

1. god creates the Universe.
2. god creates heaven and hell.
3. god creates mankind.
4. god demands reverence, respect and unabashed worship from all of mankind.
5. god casts the souls of those who do not worhsip it into hell (that it has created just for this purpose) for all eternity.

---------

IN CONCLUSION:

Your "god" either (a) has serious self-esteem issues (b) suffers from an inferiority complex or (c) is just plain f*cked in the head.

Which one is it?

God had no problem with the decision to cause the flood and take care of that small problem. Yet later down the road god needs a council with his sons to handle some really small problems with mortals. And if Lucifer was banned from heaven by god, what was he doing in the council of sons makeing decisions as to what happens to mortals? And god being concerned asking Lucifer how he was doing and what was he up to. God didn't know? I suppose god thought he was playing the snake and messing with humans lives. But no, it seems god had a plan of it's own to mess up Lot. The bible writers made god the boob again.

Go to the link and scroll down to the part about Origins and After death. Asatru or Norse-Paganism (whichever you prefer) was around before christianity. Ever heard the phrase, "write it in your own words"? Adam & Eve sound a lot like a spin off of Ask & Embla. Watch the christians will come up with some excuse for this.

Why do they choose to ignore the feeling of His Noodly Appendage that tells them it's true? The FSM wants you to follow the correct path and I think he lets everyone know Pastafarianism is true, but some people choose to ignore this feeling.

I believe the only way to Heaven, which has a stripper factory and a beer volcano, is through the FSM. If you are not a Pastafarian, you will be thrown in a vat of hot pasta sauce forever. I do not want this to happen to anyone. Why do people choose to ignore their Noodly feelings deep inside?

I feel everyone secretly knows the truth, it's just that some people don't pay attention to it. How can they be so blind?

the bible clearly states you must repent of your own mouth be bapttised believe in your own heart that Jesus was ressurrected and follow the laws of god to attain salvation....so if you die in sin how can someone else attain salvation for you....If you are dead you cannot repent, you cannot believe, nor can you follow gods laws... no where in the bible is the word purgatory used as a place where people go to await salvation....for in the bible it says the dead know nothing not even that they are dead..psalms so if you are just lying in the ground waitin to be resurrected in one of the two ressurrections how can you ever be in purgatory
