If all he wanted was more spirit persons in heaven why didn't he just make more?
Did he go to this much trouble to make the earth just to burn it up? That doesn't make any sense.

This is another question I get asked quite a lot about the Catholic Church. I've tried to answer it the best I can but I don't think I'm giving very good answers. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

In the 1920s an astronomer named Edwin Hubble observed the light from distant galaxies and he noticed something amazing. He saw that the light from these galaxy clusters was redshifted, which meant that they were all moving away from us. The galaxy clusters that were farther away from us were moving at a faster rate, the farther they were away.

I'm sure you have some hypothesis that covers this, what is it?

Can you explain those born with deformities or mental handicap?
If we are all equal can you expain the genius and the retarded?
If we are all equal can you expain the voctor and the defeated in sports?
When I hear thwe concept it sounds all warm and fuzzy but...I have not seen it in reality nor in nature.
Is equality a reality based on fact and reason?
Or is it just a fanciful ideal we wish the world was like based on our emotions and wishful thinking?

A thought:

"A hundred castellaneos are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm, and it is very general and there is plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand"

-Letter by Columbus quoted in Williams, "Documents of West Indian History," 1:36-37

Christopher Columbus used his Christianity to justify statements like this. He advocated the rape of 9 and 10 year old girls as a way to entice people to invest their time in his voyages. Who should be more ashamed of this, the Christians whose faith he bastardized, or the Americans (and I am one) who STILL revere him as a hero?

Your thoughts before we all go home from work?

A preacher was telling his congregation that anything they could think of, old or new, was discussed somewhere in the Bible and that the entirety of the human experience could be found there.

After the service, he was approached by a woman who said, "Preacher, I don't believe the Bible mentions PMS."

The preacher replied that he was sure it must be in there somewhere and that he would look for it.

The following week after service, the preacher called the woman aside and showed her a passage which read,

"And Mary rode Joseph's a55 all the way to Bethlehem."

I used to know one, but it was taken off the website it was on. And also, I still need the Alchemy ritual with the ember,it's supposed to let you manipulate your inner fire and fire around you or something, and no not the alchemical fire circle dance, either!

it against the law for an old woman over age 40 or even 50 to be with a man in their 20's? Shouldn't this be a crime? Just a thought.

Is it true that the only reason that people of belief systems other than Christianity are allowed to worship freely in the US, is because when the God-fearing christians founded this great nation, they, out of the goodness of their hearts, allowed other religions to worship their differing Gods, or no Gods at all?

Nothing like patting yourself on the back, is it????

I've heard this used so many times to justify why christians "put up" with people of differing religious practices (or no religious practices at all)...and was just curious as to your thoughts on it.

There are so many people that are racist, and so many that claim racism against others, some claims which are false. So many predjudices and stereotypes its ridiculous. Its crap. its not just race issues, but other things as well from being prep, or emo, or even the things you enjoy like gaming. Its pathetic. Some will say gamers are evil because they like killing people on a screen, or just that they are lazy fat people. gamers come in all forms just like everyone else. It doesn't matter what color your skin, or what you like to wear, what country your from, or what you prefer to do with your free time. Is this just from ignorance or what?

basically those who dont attach themselves to any religion: is it just Christianity you think is foolish to believe in or is it all religions (Islam, Buddhism, Hindu, etc)?

a simple yes or no will be fine.
