So why do so many of you keep pretending that you're being persecuted? You outnumber everyone else by at least 7-1. So how can you blame the minority for oppressing YOU. You're the ones that elect most people into office, and you usually only elect other christians. So wouldn't it be more accurate to say that you all persecute yourselves? You can point the finger at organizations like the ACLU or whatever else you feel is your oppressor, but those organizations don't make the laws, the people you elect to office do that. So, who's really persecuting you? Even better, are you really persecuted, or are the majority of you the persecutors?

My friend works at a hospital and she has access to local anastecis. We have been talking about her bringing it home and then giving me a local needle then cutting off the mole. I don't have health insurance and the doctor said he would charge me $1300 for the procedure. Its on my back and its getting bigger and starting to bother me when i sit down.

My friend has no problem pulling the mole and taking a razor blade to it. I consulted my doctor about it. He said it isn't cancerous but should most defintely be removed by a professional. He also said if I do it anyway, which he strongly advises not to, then I shopuld go and see him for a follow up to make sure it does not get infected. i think he just wanted my money. He charges $80 for a non-insurance visit. Most other doctors in my area do the same.

So whats your opinion? Am I nuts?

By inflicting pain and fear on others, you can gain power, comfort and wealth. By lying to others, you can gain their confidence, their money, sex. Why do good when it pays to be bad? According to Christianity, you will be forgiven of all sins in the end, no matter how severe (according to Martin Luther) if you ask God. At the cowards deathbed, when he is helpless, that is the only time he will cry out for God, and he will be saved. Help me out here.

And that this intolerance may be hurting their cause? In a pro-life organisation I am part of, every week, the Christians there condemn the people going into Planned Parenthood to hell. They also say that Jesus could probably smell the purid stench of their souls, and they must repent.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but HOW is this helping anything? A young woman came up to me yesterday and said she was annoyed that every time she walks by is told of her destiny in hell unless she gives her soul to Jesus and that she was horrible for not approving of Bush. My reply was
I am fully aware that standing outside praying and protesting doesn't do anything, but I go because I think that the anti-abortion movement is a good cause.
I think that these people are only hurting their cause. I've tried to tell them before, but I get told I know nothing. How can I let them know?

Please don't just say I should be pro-abortion.

I'm tired of Christians and others denigrating the spelling of Magick. Also, the references to Crowley starting it which is false. I gave cited proof that the Magick with a K spelling had printed proofs back to the 16th century. The majority of the answers ignored the question or the proof to denigrate me or something about the question. Is it accidental ignorance, planned ignorance, or just their innate hatred of everyone who will not bow to their beliefs.

Picking verses from different Bible books (from the words of Jesus to the words of Paul to the book of Hebrews and so on) doesn't give a way to verify the interpretation.

The online resource "Gospel Enigma" uses a different approach: Stick with the words of ONE teacher, Jesus Christ, and at least we can assume that everything he spoke will fit into the context of his overall theme. With that approach, some verification is possible.

So isn't this a better approach... and don't you think that Jesus was capable of giving a complete coherent message to his own apostles?

Some points to consider:
- highest impact
- most urgent needs
- short term vs long term
- risks, certainty of results
- degree of involvement, responsibility
Anyway, how would you choose to use those $100? If you'd give it to a charity, which one and why?

What if He really enjoys tormenting humans?

In THIS life, wouldn't it be safer (and more moral) to act rationally instead of superstitiously (particularly with the lives of strangers)?

Why risk it (your dignity)?
