I asked yesterday

would tell your children, (this means big kids to, adults) either wirshipp this man or I will never let you come home, and eventually if you refuse then I will throw you into the oven, stove, etc.

To me this is what you say God is telling us. then you say, or some of you do, that its not God who does it, we do it ourselves, well, no its God who does it because its God who makes the finnal choice, and he wont let some come home and he throws them into the stove or furnace. I wouldnt do that to my kids, why do you think God would do it to his?

How many people think that one day Princess Diana, will become St. Diana, since day one Princess Diana, was our Princess too and to the hole world. She was like no other woman no matter where she was, it was like we were there too. Princess Diana, will always live in our hearts. I hope that one day she will become St. Diana, but it's up to the Pope.

These people who recently moved into the apartment below me are so freakin loud. I think it's 2 male roommates (maybe I college). They have people over a lot (who are also loud) and hang out on their porch and talk at all hours or the morning and night.

The other day I was getting up for work early (it was about 5:30 a.m.) and they were still up from the night before. I could clearly hear their loud conversation and they sounded wasted.

I don't know how I am going to deal with this.

I asked if the Muslim god allowed you to keep slaves.

I got a 5211 word response.

And guess what...I'm still no wiser...

Can anyone beat that?

Interesting story....note, the last line

"Roger J. Kuhle, an assistant Polk County attorney, argued that the issue is not for a judge to decide."

Who should decide this issue then?

It only affects two consenting adults...shouldn't the two consenting adults involved be the only ones to decide if they should marry? Why is society involved at all...what business is it of yours who I marry, as long as we are two consenting adults?

Doesn't God give everyone the freedom of choice? He does not force salvation on anyone...remember the painting of Jesus, standing at the door and knocking? There is not a handle on his side of the door...he stands at the door and knocks ...and anyone who asks/lets him in then is saved. God does not "force" himself on anyone, he leaves it up to the individual....so why are fundamentalists trying to "force" their views on others?

Your thoughts?

How can you deny his existence when it's been recorded God has spoken to the chosen people?
Atheism would be taken more seriously if God never spoke to anyone.

I am speaking to you through this internet. I don't exist?

When I say that no one woman can complete me? As In, Christ and I are the only ones that complete me. There is no woman that can meet my emotional, spiritual, and physical standards. God has and always will be there for me. He will never stray from me. A woman cant always be there for me and might stray away at times. In the end He will always be standing there by my side instead of her. Am I being fair to myself when I say this?

Here are some ways I have noticed...can you add any?

You know that all people are VERY predictable? we all react the same in a 'group mentality' situation. we all have the same mental cues, and can be easily manipulated, as shown here in a 'instant conversion' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sq-YUdq1OI&mode=related&search

using our fears of death, and our loss of loved ones against us

praying and praying and chanting/singing is a tool for "autohypnosis" and "psychological manipulation."

the 'carrot and the stick' method for good and bad...heaven and hell.

and above all, the clause that says 'don't test the word of the God.

Explain why spreading the "truth of Christ" requires you to spread lies about other religions, such as the idea that Wiccans (so-called "white witches") worship the Christian devil. (Incidentally, they don't, and this rumor has been persistently spread by Christians since the second century CE).Explain why Christians (that includes all branches of Christianity) have spread the lie that Jews put Jesus to death when, in actuality, it was the Romans who put Jesus to death. (For a good example of New Testament anti-semetism, see 1 Thessalonians 2:15).
Explain why the Christians are spreading the lie that Muslims worship Mooon God when infact they donot? Dr.Morey also quoted from William Montgomery Watt. But Watt says on page 26 of his book that the Arabic word Allaah is similar to the Greek term ho theos which we know is the way God is referred to in the New Testament.
Dr.Morey quoted from Kenneth Cragg’s book entitled The Call of the Minaret. However, on page 36 of Kenneth Cragg’s book we find the following: "Since both Christian and Muslim faiths believe in One supreme sovereign Creator-God, they are obviously referring when they speak of Him, under whatever terms, to the same Being."
Further on the same page, Cragg explains that the One whom the Muslims call Allaah is the same One whom the Christians call ‘the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.’ although the two faiths understand Him differently.
Dr.Morey should know that as a scholar he has the academic obligation to quote honestly. He should also know that as a follower of Jesus, on whom be peace, he has an obligation to speak the truth.

Alfonsus de Liguori (1696-1787) was a principal proponent of the Marianist Movement, which glorifies Mary. He wrote a book entitled "The Glories of Mary" which is famous, influential and widely read. In this book, de Liguori says that Mary was given rulership over one half of the kingdom of God; Mary rules over the kingdom of mercy and Jesus rules over the kingdom of justice. De Liguori said that people should pray to Mary as a mediator and look to her as an object of trust for answered prayer. The book even says that there is no salvation outside of Mary. Some people suggest that these views are extreme and not representative of Catholic Church teaching. However, instead of silencing de Liguori as a heretic, the Catholic Church canonized him as a saint and declared him to be a "doctor of the Church" (a person whose teachings carry weight and authority). Furthermore, his book is openly and officially promoted by the Catholic Church, and his teachings have influenced popes.
