Believing in a God is the same as believing in the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Ra, Thor, Allah, Santa Clause, etc. "If one person suffers from a delusion, then that person is considered crazy. If many people suffer from a delusion, it's called religion."

Pardon my ignorance.... sources I've looked at are confusing me and I'd like to get things straight. :)

Are the words Roma, Traveller, and Gypsy used interchangeably or would that be incorrect? What's the difference?

And what is "White Irish?" Can they be "Gypsies," too, or are they unrelated?

Thanks a lot for any help!

I just read this. Is it true?

"In the sixth century Catholic leaders manipulated the Arabian tribesman Mohammed into creating the religion of Islam to use as a weapon against the Jews and to conquer Jerusalem for the Pope."

Often I hear of my own religion as being considered a cult. I am curious though it hat ways would you consider other religions a form of a cult. Like Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Buddahists and any other?

This handicap girl in Canada bought the " Win $2,000 for Life" Ticket and fortunately won.

She is a godly girl who worships the Lord daily. She could not work, and her SSI was very small. She complains everyday about wanting to be fully employed. When she collects her SSI paycheck monthly, she would spend a dollar on her favorite game, which is " Win $2,000" for life... Finally it seems as if God frees her from her worries.

Now she collects $2,000 Canadian every week for the rest of her life.

Even if one has free will god knows what he every individual is going to do tommorrow and the next day and the next. Now if an individual kills someone (which is immoral for most people) God already knew he was going to commit such act.

My question is why is God going to judge us when he knows, when, why, where, and how we are going to things. Because being almight surely he knows the future.

I got it all figured out guys. 50 years ago, couple dudes got together and thought up ways they could destroy Christianity. Then one guy was like "yo, let’s make a fossil factory and hide them shits all over the Earth. The next generation of scientists will think it was evolution MUHAHAHAHA." These 3 geniuses started the atheist movement. I got you evolutionists figured out now. Wait till I release this to the press. Evolution will be no more.

Jesus thought they should be able to heal the sick if they had faith. Why aren't christians following Jesus's teachings? The apostles weren't Gods, but were expected to heal people.Would not Jesus expect his followers to do the same?
