Obviously many many many people know about what to look for in the mark, such as not being able to buy, and the mark on the right hand and forehead.....

however Satan works through deceit, so I am thinking he can gain a large amount of followers through even something like the cross, we all know what to expect, so in reality it WILL be something we dont expect. This would be a HUGE gain of followers, the crucifix im sure is the most created tatoo.

I am going to assume the mark is not only held on those 2 spots, and I will also assume its not the number 666. What about 666 ways to become a worshipper?

. . . does God condemn us so badly all throughout the bible? Our hearts are deceitful above all things, we're evil, yet can give good gifts to our kids . . . we're ALL disgusting sinners, who need someone else's blood all over us, just so God can look at us . . .

Does God hate himself that much or what? After all, we're created in his image yet he despises us unless we're covered in blood- the blood of his own son, no less.

I really want to know why so many people think that homosexuals are hurting people and are a threat to society. I've never seen one cause harm, not ever. Think of this--

--They adopt kids that need homes...kids that people fight abortion to save, but refuse to take in.
--Gay couples can't have their own kids, they help stop overpopulation.
--They don't judge people for being different, as they know how it feels to be judged.
--Rarely will a gay person cause a war...that's for the most part politics and religion's doing.
--Think of all the harm straight people have done, then try to equal that in any harm you think a gay person has done to the world.

I really want to know exactly what a gay person can do to hurt you, because I've never seen it. I don't need the "it's a sin" or "it's unnatural" arguements, I need a real answer of what harm they are, because I'm just not seeing it.

Try to be nice, no rude answers (you know who you are, Dr D) and really think about this.

Alot of people really don't believe in God and this brings up the question stated above, Do we just life for a few years and then die and thats it? Their has to be more to life than just having fun and then dying, This purpose is what God has given us. Its pretty hard believing that we live for a little and then die and thats it, what about the children who die early, they didn't have a chance to have fun or experience earthly life, Their has to be more, The children will rise on that day of ressurection when our lord Jesus comes back

First of all, Christians compare murderers, thiefs, liars and etc., to homosexuality! Can't Christians see the difference? You must actually murder, steal, or tell a lie to become one of those. But you do not need to have sex in order to be homosexual. Even if you remain a virgin for your entire life, you still are a gay if you're attracted to the same sex. A monk could stay a virgin for his entire life, but he's still a heterosexual. And as a side note does homosexuality harm someone else like murdering, stealing and lying do? Is there a reward to being gay like their is a reward to steal something?

Secondly (which proves you're uneducated), you Christians say that, "if homosexuality is in the genes, why is not extinct yet since men can't have childrent". It's not necessary for your parents to be gay for you to be born gay, duh! Is it necessary that disabled children must also have disabled parents? Not everything you're born with resembles your parents, get a clue!

Many of you have stated that you were previously Christian or of some other religion but then you realized that the religion made no sense. So, you became atheist based off a decision you made on your own, correct? So why then when someone asks a question about a specific religion, you attack the questioner with answers like "god does not exits" or my personal favorite "religion is a lie". Why not leave the question for those that will give the asker a genuine answer they were looking for and leave it up to them to find their own way and make their own determination about whether to believe it or not....just as you did?

Hey, i can't seem to translate a sentence, can you please help me with it?

Das bekannte "Gardemass" soll nicht unterschritten werden. Reprasentation ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil unseres Dienstes. Das Erscheinungbild ist im dienstlichen Umgang mit Pilgern, Touristen, oder Auskunft suchenden Personen wichtig.

Thanks for your help in forward!

Why do some take the whole Pagan beleif and make the "magick" their "inner-self"? I'm confused. Witches of all Pagan religions beleive in deities. Not an "inner-self". So doesn't that make "new agers" non-Pagans?

What's your opinion?

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look and saw a 7 foot grizzly bear charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder &
saw that the bear was closing in on him. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him. At that instant the Atheist cried out to the Lord. Time stopped, the bear froze, the forest was silent.
A bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny myexistence for all of these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

That god didn't create the universe. Let's also say that we can't explain how the universe was created through science, and let us also say that the Flying Spaghetti Monster didn't create it either...
What does that leave us with? Maybe it was something else? Maybe we are thinking too hard about all this, or not hard enough about creation. How about some new thoughts? You people are creative. Lets see what you've got.
