Society & Culture - 20 September 2007

Now about the % of who and who do not represent God and Jesus. That is a constantly changing variable. Even some very good Christians are not always representing Christ. That is when later they repent to God and those individuals they infringed upon. And a good Christian forgives the same as God has forgiven their sins. A good christian is your average person who is learning. So not every Christian is on even keel. Some are ahead of their brothers and sisters while others may be behind. In all relgions this will be true and everyone makes mistakes as its human nature. The question is do we want to change or not. This is repentance. Jesus was calling people to repent and change their ways. He wanted to know the state of their heart or desire. Did they desire to be like his father (righesousness, peace, love, justice, help for the needy, spend time the sick in spirit) or did they desire their lusts more (selfishness, hate, condemn others by the law and then be imperfect them selves, lovers of injustice or revenge, care less for their brothers well being to satisfy them selves.) And by his Holy Ghost and Relationship with God he empowers them to make that change but they have to want it or all they will natualy server their lusts and of course some good. Its our imperfect nature that determines we need Gods forgiveness but if we reject his method of giving it out then we reject his salvation. Ultimately this is what makes the final decision and God is the ultimate judge in the end.

I stepped off a neighbors porch, apparebntly i forgot how tall I was and stepped into the air. Really felt like an idiot and didn't want to complain about the skinned knees/palms and knees or the blood. But man, it really hurt!

Its been a year since i have became an Atheist.
I have read a lot of articles and kind of pretty sure about what the idea exactly means,but i still have some doubts about the rules.
The doubts are the following -
*Am i allowed to use swears which involves the peoples imaginary friend "God" ?
Eg - God dammit ,Go to hell etc

*Am i allowed to say my age........ or should i hide it ??

*Could i celebrate my Birthday ??

*Atheism is characterized by an absence of belief in the existence of gods.What i want to know is that I also cant believe in angels and devils right(lol)?

*Must i change my birth certificates and other forums to legally prove that i am an atheist??

*Is it against the rules of atheism to insult god ??( i know its stupid to insult something that doesn't exist ,but i get kinda pissed when theists interfere with my beliefs)

* Is it okey to have superstitious beliefs ?

I'm not referring to what any parent would do, such as monitor their child's use of the computer. I'm referring to their interraction with non-witnesses or apostates on the internet.

Let's be real about this. To believe that your religion is the truth is to believe that every other religion is not the truth. Stop the politically correct baby-talk and just admit it!

I keep hearing that atheists hate God, or do not want God to be real, or haven't searched earnestly.

Is it possible that some humans have honestly looked for God, found nothing, and concluded that he does not exist?

There seems to be many translations of the Tao available and I find it hard to choose one or two from such a large selection. I am interested first in accuracy, then helpfulness of commentary (if any) and finally in readability.

Evidence is mounting that a meteorite really did strike Peru last Saturday: A scientist from Peru's Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute says that a chondritic space rock lies at the bottom of the water-filled crater near the Peru-Bolivia border. In a related development, Peru's Regional Health Directorate reports an outbreak of dizziness, nausea and dermal injuries among people who have visited the impact site. The injuries are "not serious," according Regional Health Director Jorge López.

Such a truly divine decision, to bring those poor defenseless komodo dragons into the ark for safety, and leave those nasty, evil toddlers to drown. It is so wonderful that many believers put so much effort into living as their deity. The rest of us poor lost souls, will never be able to understand this divine justice, nor feel the warmth of the holy................. is anyone else getting nauseous?

Don't they know that with out the Catholic Church, there would be no Bible? The Catholic Church gave us the Holy Mother and the Word of God.

It is up to the Chuch ALONE to interpret the Bible.

...and the waitress spilled my soup on me because, apparently, she can't balance things very well when she's so pregnant. Was I wrong to not give her a tip? My wife said I was rude to not tip her. I should add that not only did she spill it on me, but she cried and fussed about it. How embarrassing is that?!
