2007 has already broken the record for the lowest amount of sea ice ever recorded, say scientists
The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.
9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
Are you afraid of the heat? or do you have your armour on?

How can the Paralyzed Veterans send out these address labels all the time and only ask for $3.00. I normally send them more than that. I am just curious. Anyone else send them money?

Personally I believe that the greatest obstacle to acceptance is ignorance. People fear what they do not understand, and as we have seen countless times throughout history, fear breeds hatred.
By dispelling ignorance and teaching others the truth about homosexuality, I truly believe that we can become fully accepted within society.
Knowledge is the greatest tool we can weld, and by sharing that knowledge, we make ourselves more understood.
What do you think is the best way to become accepted?

Could anyone provide me with insight as to the negative aspects of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I'm looking for expirienced stories and insight from people with living knowledge of the church. Not to discount the legitimacy of those who claim it to be a cult or what have you but I am not looking for an accusation without a story to back it up.

Is it that the majority of people have become humanistic? So they use the combinations of evolution, atheistism, and agnosticism to help define their "moral reasoning"?

Interview with BeliefNet.com: Hans Küng said Vatican knew for decades about sexually abusive priests & the bishops' mishandling of them.

Hans Küng, a quoted theologian of the 20th century; A professor of Catholic Theology at University of Tübingen, was one of the clear leaders of the Second Vatican Council that began Reformation of the Catholic Church under Pope John 23rd. He was later removed from the position as Catholic theologian in a purge of liberal thinkers instigated by John Paul II & carried out by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now rules Vatican as Benedict XVI.

My guess is both abuse and cover-ups were quite systemic, far more prevalent than yet been admitted or faced. Perhaps that's the clue to their allowing abuse to continue. If it was as widespread as we believe, it must have involved people in high places, including bishops, archbishops, cardinals.

Just kidding. There've been some heavy questions and I was feeling silly.

Peace to you all. This place is cool.

Were you offended by Kathy Griffin's remark at the VMA's? "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus."
C'mon! Not only is that funny, but don't you think it is true? All kinds of people who obviously aren't Christ-like thank God every time they win award. At least she was honest in saying that God "Jesus" had nothing to do with it right? Granted, she should'nt have followed it with "Suck it Jesus!" But thats all relative.

When you're introduced to someone and they say, "mucho gusto," what do you reply? Also, what if you're the first one to say something? Is there something else besides "mucho gusto?"

God is the creator. He was around before Jesus. Why on signs and brochures for religions and churches does it read, "Jesus is Lord/Jesus is God?" Would not saying that rule God out of the equation? God is the father, Jesus is the son, so why are people calling Jesus Lord and/or God and not involving his father? Is this what is referred to as a collective?
Without God, there would be no Jesus. So in prayer or church should mankind not pray to both?
That would be like asking my sons to access my tools without talking to me. I'm not being hateful here just asking a question.
