My friends 18th birthday is coming up. I had an idea of what I wanted to get her, but I could use some suggestions. We're all going to college in a couple months so I want to get her something she'll use but is also really special. I guess that doesn't give you much to work off of, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Could one assume that the Lord uses Satan still in his capacity as an Angel? Even if that work is to be a "tempter" to test His children? God cannot be the "author of sin", but could He incorporate Satan's works to further His will?

Do you really think by teaching your children “bible facts” despite the mountain of evidence that disproves them, you are giving your children beneficial knowledge? What do you think will happen to your country if everyone in it did this, whilst other countries teach their children form a knowledge base that grows?

That your beliefs, lack of beliefs, way of life, ethics, set of morals or values was patently false and an idiotic concept?

Would you keep them anyways or look for something new?

...Ever since I first tossed my cookies?

Give in to your desires! I know you're frightened because what's under this blue fur is so pretty it might give you a heart attack but I am here, defibrillators on hand, just in case.

Come now. Heh. Perhaps that wasn't the best choice of words... Submission is your only way to true salvation. Submit to your hearts, minions! You know you wanna hug and kiss and pet and love me until time eternal.

My friends you could not have before. Ladies and Gentlemen I have an even newer Testament of the Book of Mormon to unveil. This was revealed to me by the Angel Respighi who had been guarding the writings of Rockford for over a thousand years here in Salt Lake City. These Platinum tablets contain the "Book of Rockford - An Even Newer Testament" by the Prophet Rockford.

These fine Platinum tablets have been written in reformed Spanglish and are encased in radioactive Kryptonite but due to the Superman that I am I'll translate them into the common language, return them to the Angel Respighi (Godson of Prophet Uther Pendragon), and will present them in a fine leather bound edition with gold leaf lined linen pages to my good friend, Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley, President and CEO of the LDS group.

So many Christians these days have a much less than literal interpretation of Genesis. These guys know that evolution is real and it’s not just something that has been invented by evil scientists to kill off religion. And they know that the world is much older than 6000 years and the Noah’s Ark story is just figurative. So does that mean when you guys read your children bible bed time stories you tell them that it’s not real, it’s just symbolic? And that it still is in essence the inerrant word of God; he just doesn’t want us to take it literally anymore?

Why did I come to live on earth with such discomfort?

Yes Lord, I do not work, I have never worked, because you inserted my soul into a defective body and expected me to be happy, which I have been struggling to be.

Oh yeah, Lord, I have two ears like anyone else, but why can't I hear out of them? What use are they on my body?

And dear Lord, I have two feet that can't carry me well. I wonder to myself if you are seeing what is happening to me.

Yes Lord, my 15 year old cousin has a baby and is leaving comfortably, while I am 25 and have never had sex due to discrimination.

What is going on with me, Lord? What have I done to deserve this?

Who learns them how to understand English so good?

If their so good, then why do they say "aboot" and "ay"?

I been to Toronto and I didn't hear anything different than us.

They definately say "ay" a lot.

Anyway, American English is usefuller than any other language, and it's Made in U.S.A.!

These are taken out of the Catechism ot the Catholic church
Redeemed by Christ's Merits (492-493)
By Christ's merits, Mary "is redeemed in a more exalted fashion" (Second Vatican Council). The Father blessed Mary "in Christ with every spiritual blessing" and chose her "in Christ before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless" (Eph 1:3-4).

The Eastern Church calls Mary "the All-Holy" and says that she is "free from any stain of sin... formed as a new creature." By God's grace, Mary remained free of personal sin throughout her life.

Total Gift of Self (494)
Mary responded with the obedience of faith. "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done to me according to your Word" (Lk 1:28-38). She gave herself entirely to the person and work of her Son. Church writers call Mary "the Mother of the living." "Death came through Eve, but life through Mary (St. Jerome).

I'm not talking gay people, I'm talking the movement. I see it to be very radical and self-serving. They seek their freedoms at any cost, even if it harms our society. They seek to force society into acceptance. This means stepping on a lot of good people who fear God and have some moral fiber left in them. I wrote http://www.homosexualityexplained.com to help open the eyes...

Today’s person is of lesser quality than the person of yesteryear…let there be no doubt about that.

People say "America was founded by people who believed and loved God, this is a Christian nation and we should keep prayer in schools, God on the dollar bill, etc etc!"

Okay my response to this is, if all the founding fathers of America were white, does that mean we should keep the nation WHITES only?

The wheel was invented by people who drew on walls in animal fat, urine and blood, does that mean we should keep up those traditions as well, just because someone made a wheel, they were OBVIOUSLY right about EVERYTHING else. Right?

I don't see why I should have to live under YOUR god, in MY country.
