I found a book the other day at the bottom of a cave near my home tittled The Book, and the Book clearly states that Serpents cannot open their mouths and speak Hebrew. I believe this is a true statement because the Book says that the Book is a true book, and the Book says this right there in the front pages of the Book.

What more proof could I possibly need?

I hear people saying all the time that they are tired of Christians craming Christ and the Bible down their throats. I wonder if this is really the truth or just some lie that we are being told to hinder are witness.I cannot remember anyone ever coming up to me and witnessing for Christ.Lets not let this stop are witness.Pray everyday that God will provide you with someone to witness to,and then go out and do it!

I hate it when people blame human's for being evil and praise god for good. How can that be...
If humans are to blame for all evil in this world, Doesnt' God exist in us?
And then God is praised for all Good, what about when humans do good? When humans get together and help victims from earthquakes and stuff? Is that evil?? and then who should get praise for that ?? god or human??

In other words, if you guys think that humans are evil, then you should also think that humans create good...

If you think god creates good, then he must also create evil.

I dont like it then people switch between the two, stick with one.

And as for god being evil, He has to create by balancing.

God - an energy- is positive and negative that means he must create everyting in that manner.

since i've seen this assumption too many times.

agnostics aren't wishy-washy or indecisive or any of that. they believe we cannot (at least not with the information we have available now) know whether or not a god or gods exists so they SUSPEND belief.

this doesn't mean they are having trouble deciding one way or the other. it means they aren't going to go through the trouble of trying to decide until they have more information.

how do you say

"stop" in japanese?
and "i understand"
Is I understand similiar to "wakarimasen" (I don't understand?) They sound alike.. I just don't know how to pronounce "I undertand" correctly (romanji would help lol).

What does ___ mean:
Kantan
subete

P.S. using them in a sentance would help if you could. If you can't that's okay. Heh, and if you use them in a sentance can you identify other words? Sorry.

would you as a parent protest? Especially considering your child would witness displays such as this:

"...the coup de grace is the “Culture in Crisis” exhibit. Here the museum gives us a “natural history” of the breakdown of the American family. Visitors are invited to look through three windows of a contemporary American home. Videos loop to show two young boys looking at porn on the computer and experimenting with drugs. Another window shows a young girl crying, surrounded by abortion pamphlets. And finally the parents are shown arguing."

This (I use the word in protest) "museum" is nothing more than a slick, sick scheme by greedy fundamentalists to undermine knowledge, and exploit the lack of sophistication (and the wallets) of uniformed people.

Want proof?

Smithsonian Institute - Free
Carnegie Museum - $10
Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County - $9
Natural History Museum - Free
American Museum of Natural History - $12 (suggested)

Creation Museum - $19.95

Vomitous.

Now how did they reproduce? Incest?
That's the trouble with taking scripture mythology literally, don't you think?
This is a serious question, so spare the pot-shots and snide remarks, and I'll report anyone who does a cut-paste job from links.
you original opinions please!
Athiests, Hindus, Buddhists, christians, ALL are welcome to solve this puzzle....
