Yet the evil influences of pagan attitudes toward sex and relationships subtly affect even the church world.
I just read this as a response to a question and am torn between laughter and throwing my computer across the room. I'm Pagan and I have a better marriage than most Christians I know. It goes against my respect for my husband which is not acceptable. I guess I am once again trying to take down the church! LOL

Many of the prophesise have been fulfilled but how many are there left to be fulfilled before Jesus comes back to earth the second time to take his followers to heaven with him?

Well to be honest we as chistians do not know our God's name nor do we know our Savior's real name. A relationship starts with knowing one anothers names, so what's God's personal name and Jesus' real name?

a lot of other denominations of christanity say catholics do not follow the bible.

1. the catholic church put together the bible, before the catholic church it was random writings, not an actual bible.

2. Catholics do not worship Mary. She is not God, but she did give birth to Him- that deserves a bit of respect dont you think?

3. catholics do not worship saints. Inorder to become a saint you have to do a lot of good, what is it - like 600 miracles? And devout your entire life to God. We do not see them as God, just people that devouted their entire life as God

4. Confession: catholics do not believe the preist is the one forgiving you of your sins. Honestly, I think people are against this because they dont want people to know what they did wrong.

5. catholic mass is extreamly similar to a jewish service (ive been to a few). Should church, the church that Jesus intended be similar to the services He attended?

after reading that, whats wrong with the catholic church?

Not one historian can deny this check and you will see?

In 615 AD, Khusru Parviz of Persia attacked Byzantium (Roman) empire and gained control of Syria, Palestine and North Africa. He ransacked Jerusalem, set fire to the Holy Sepulcher and destroyed numerous cities. The war ended in clear victory for fire-worshippers of Persia.

News of the defeat of Byzantine worshippers of God was received with satisfaction by the idolaters of Mecca. This was grievous to the Muslims and caused them much anxiety about the future course of the events. It was then that a revelation came foretelling the renewed triumph of the Byzantine over the Persians within few years.

These are the relevant verses of Surat Ruum in the Quran: “The Romans have been defeated in a land nearby. But in the future they will triumph over their enemies, within a period of few years. All affairs, both earlier and later, are in the hands of God. And on the day when the Romans triumph, the believers and the followers of Islam will rejoice. God assists to whomsoever He wills, and He is Powerful and Compassionate. This is the promise of God, a promise which can not be violated, but most of the people know not”. (30:1-6).

Within less than 10 years, this Prophecy of the Quran was fulfilled in the year 624 A.D. corresponding to year 2 A.H. How can we explain the confident and categorical prediction of the victory of a defeated people over a victorious people, in the absence of any factors pointing to the likelihood of such an event? A realistic approach to the state of society and the course of events would definitely have contradicted this prophesy.


Now the question is the Prophet of Islam foretold a definite military victory at a certain point in the future. How did he know it was going to occur?

Or is this just a rouse to deny legal recognition to gays and banning divorce would force them to accept resposiblity for their own contribution to the "moral decay of society."

So if a Hindu who chooses to remain in his birth religion and follow his parents despite hearing about Jesus is considered doom for eternal Hell...forever and ever and ever and ever...

Is this Jesus ?? Very cruel indeed....So many christians say if they have never heard of Christ than they might go to heaven...than don't preach about Christ to anybody..because the chances are he might say no...and indireclty you caused him to go to hell. So Christians do me a favour..Don't preach about Christ...like this everyone can ascend to heaven.

In Matthew 22:11-13 we read, "And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Do you know what the "outer darkness" is where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth is?

I don’t have any female friends and all the guy friends I have, always try to hit on me and when I turn them down, they become hostile towards me. I’ve spoken to my mother about it and she said it’s the price you pay for beauty, but I don’t want it anymore, I’m sick of people hating me for it and guys wanting to just use me because of it. Also I hate when guys stare at me, it makes me feel dirty. I feel cursed. You always think of beauty as a gift, as something very much desired, but what happens when it ruins your life, not so much a gift anymore is it?

I found an amazing website that told me christians don't exist! What's more, I know that it's telling the truth (because it said it was).

I've also found out, no-one can prove the website wrong! If anyone tries to tell you they're a Christian, they're evil liars sent by the devil's servers - make sure you tell them what bad people they are!

Now the website may be a few years old, and it's been added to by many different authors (some of which weren't there at the time of it first being written)...but according to religious people, that makes it a valid historical document right?

Will anyone else join me in the celebrations? We no longer have to worry about these characters of fiction anymore!


Note: Anyone wishing to find out the URL of this website, just send me £10 through paypal, that's how religion does it, right?

Don't we (by using this label) give more credence to religion, in exactly the same way as if there was a word - to describe someone who doesn't believe in santa .... it would possibly give a lot more credence to the cause of santa clause?

I asked this question before, and got an almost unanimous vote of : the fool that follows is more of a fool.

So here is my lead-on question : Why are we all following the Priests, Rabbi's, etc? Why are we not reading and leading for ourselves?

This question is not just for Christians and Jews, but for Muslims and followers of all other religions.

Read the writings for yourselves...

I took my wife to a Canadian Football game this weekend on a mini-vacation. Winnipeg kept scoring, and they would sick celebrate in the end zone with mass hugging and rear end slapping.

It was wrong to celebrate like this with families around! The cheer team was sick enough, but then with this man grabbing, I had to leave before I was sullied with their sin. How many photos do I have to take? ? ?

I went missing for the next day and a half before my wife found me.

Panama is between me and my God, it's none of your business.

Promise me that you won't fall in love with me?
