Think about it. Religion has never had a problem with murder or violence. It's been built on a foundation based on violence. Theres a chuck full of violence in the Holy Books. People have persecuted, tortured, and burned. More people have been killed in the Name of God than anything else...BUT that was a long time ago and most people have come to their senses. But there's still that small group of lunatics (ex. The Evangelicals, The Jesus Camp People, That idiot spamming Crusades on the R&S Board) I'm not sure they even take the 5th Commandment SERIOUSLY...I have no problem with Religion in General but the more Devout people are the more ~Reasonable~ murder seems. It's like Negotiating with God. It just depends on who does the killing and whose getting killed. There's that mentality that's like "Jesus will Reward me for killing this Pagan". It's basically Justifying Murder...how do you deal with people like that...? I want to send them Crashing back down to Reality...

This is a video I uploaded to Youtube regarding this controversial issue in the United States of America. It's very interesting; also supported by statistical fact:

Do not indoctrinate your children. Enlighten them to other possibilities, at least for the advancement of humanity.

My church requires that anyone who is licensed or ordained must lead at least one person to Christ per year to remain licensed/ordained. Now, I understand that we are to witness to those who aren't saved, but I thought it was God/Christ who actually changed the person's heart to make them believe. How does one go about being sure that someone is led to Christ? I can witness, beg, plead, shove my beliefs down someone's throat, but if God doesn't change their heart, how can I actually lead them there?

On August 31, 2007 it will be exactly one year that I haven't use any drugs. NA is giving me my key chain but I would like to know how people celebrate their 1 year clean. I'm thinking of getting everyone who had a positive influence on my recovery together for dinner and just a good time. What do you think?

And follow by saying that people are free to worship as they wish, are you really inviting me to perform a Black Mass in your Church? Afterall, by rights, you don't have freedom from that happening, especially since it requires me to do so to increase the blasphemy.

Can someone tell what or who was Satan, Lucifer and 666? Did the Bible say Satan will rule the earth then will hand over his power to Jesus? Did Satan exist the same time with Jehova? Was Satan a bad guy?

generally speaking of course.

White people created the double standard and spread it around the globe. In this country there were officially two standards for 191 years of the country's 231 years history.

So why do they complain of double standards now?

This lady had been my friend for several years! The first thing I said to her when I meet her was that she had a beautiful aura around her. This is what started our friendship. My friend called me the other day and told me that I was in league with the devil and she read from some book that her neighbor a J.W. had loaned her to get her away from me! I cried so hard that I was sobbing! I am not evil! I wasn't hurting that J.W.woman! Why would she destroy my friendship? I didn't think badly of them till this happened! Why do they think things like seeing aura's are evil? All of the old painting have aura's around the heads or whole body's! Were the saints evil? Do J.W. think these paintings are evil? Now I've lost my best friend! Should I repent like my friend and this J.W. say or just give up my friend to this cult?

so i like punk rock and sorta emo music i listen to pop and rap but i don't connect with it. i dress kinda preppy and i'm into the whole abercrombie,hollister, Juicy Couture,Vera Bradley stuff. I love my coach bag and i really want a Tiffany and Co. bracelet. now you have to understand i live in a rich white neighborhood and yes im black. my older sis is the total opposite of me and it really hurts my feelings when she calls me white girl. all my life i've heard comments like "your the whitest black girl i know" and stuff like that. i don't get why people have a problem with my style and omg i dread family reunions because my cousins are like hey here comes the white girl. I mean it's how i grew up and how i am so why can't people accept the way i act and talk and the music i listen too? is it becuase i don't fit into the mold of a black girl? why does it bother them? it's not like im TRYING to be different it's just that i like it and im comfortable the way i am

What did God have to lose by sending his son Jesus, to die, when God knows that Jesus would have been sent back up to him?

If he really died for our sins, what happen with our orginal sin? but maybe thats why I don't believe in fairytales, but I would like to hear your opinions
