As you aren't supposed to worship other gods, surely they must exist right?
And no seance, means you can contact the dead, should you choose?

Are we expected to believe that the Christ set up His only Church as a haven for pedofiles?

the friend keeps making phone calls on her cell phone or taking calls. They're all social calls; nothing business related.

She does this when we go out to eat.

Being my 18 old self.. in the city I live in, every friday night all the tennagers come out to go DownTown to hang out by this place we dubbed "The Rock" which is located in a park somewhere near the water front area. Ive been going there for months, Ive made a lot of friends there and from what I see a majority of the kids who do travel down to the rock every friday night are either like me or they are gothic, punk, scene or just plain old kids. Its always been known that people of christian faith travel down to the rock to preach to us and its an absolute aggravation. I talk to all of them trying to explain to them that "They are simply annoying us and that we are just kids.. if we want religion we will find you." Ive tried explaing everything to them but they continue with this bullshit about how jesus didnt allow himself to bediscouraged when he preached to the people of his time. This is wrong, and very contradictory. Why do you consider this right? Are we just subordinate to you?

I mean, what do we care if God isn't written on our currency or in the pledge we say for our country? Aren't we strong enough in our faith to love God without these trifles?

Shouldn't we be respectful to those who believe differently, and just omit God from government?
Personally I think religion and government should never mix, even though I'm a strong Catholic. I actually think, symbolically, it's disturbing to put God's name on money, which sort of represents greed.

I'm not saying this to be disrespectful, just curious.
Anyone else agree? Or disagree? Why?

This Florida mother (I cringe with shame) wants to ban 80 books from her son's high school's library, mostly about homosexuality, abortion, and atheism.

"Lopez admits she hasn't read a single one of the objectionable books cover-to-cover.

"In her appeal, she quotes scripture and blames the Columbine school s, , bullies, teenage pregnancy and other ills on what she considers the removal of God from schools.

She targets literary genres ranging from reference books to short stories...."

Want the cherry on top? Her own son's an atheist.

"My oldest son doesn't believe in God," she said. "I guess he kind of thinks I'm stupid."

Anyone think book-banning's gonna change that boy's mind?

Hey everyone...

Sorry I have been away for a few days. Let's just say I had, what I am now calling, a Divine Temper-Tantrum. Have any of you had one of these? Mind expounding upon your experience?

All hope is prayer, but not all prayer is hope (since a lot of prayers are just conversing and not wishing/hoping for anything)? Thoughts?

Iran is now having the capability to enrich Uranium and its only a matter of TIME before they get to bake BOMS with it !!

North Korea is another hostile nation that is also an anti democratic nation which is having both, Intercontinental balllistic Missile technology and nuclear know-how .

India pakistan -: are nations whic uses nuclear detterent as a reason to keep pilling up war head stock-piles.

Its only a matter of time B4 the terrorist's get one of these bombs - besides there isnt anything in this world that is without a price tag on its head .
