It's like arguing there is no Big Foot or Sasquatch? It has never been proved there isn't But much fake evidence has been produced to prove they exist. Why would anyone want to prove something exist that is obviously nonsense?

Will the people left just all eventually die and go to hell? Will Earth be left in a burning inferno? And would God so readily abandon that which he spent 7 days creating?

Not trying to bash Christians here, I'm genuinely curious-it's a sticking point for me, and one of the reasons I'm no longer Christian.

Dearest Kerstin,

I have the English vernacular yet I cannot expose the words I would've liked you to read instead. I have contracted the flu. Things are slowly getting worse, but I hope your words carry some truth into my fate. If this is the only letter you receive, then I want you to enjoy it. It's in the language you grew up with and hopefully this letter hits a little closer to home. Stay safe, live well, and think about me from time to time if you want. I'll get better soon.

P.S. I know I sound like I'm dying, but it's just a common cold. I'm feeling really terrible. Apparently, you were the stronger one. I don't even know anyone who's sick and you're living with someone who was or is. I just thought that might be worth mentioning.

NATIONAL CATHOLIC REGISTER
April 8-14, 2007 Issue

ENGLAND OUTLAWS CATHOLIC TEACHING
Catholic teachers in Britain won’t be able to present Catholic dogma in Catholic schools anymore because of a new non-discrimination law.

By Joanna Bogle
Register Correspondent

LONDON — Britain has a new law banning Catholic schools from teaching Catholic morals [...].

Under the new Sexual Orientation Regulations, it will be illegal for a teacher in any school, including a Catholic school, to state that homosexual activity is morally wrong, and that this is a teaching that should be accepted as true. A teacher could be prosecuted if a pupil were able to claim that, by teaching the sinfulness of homosexual activity, the teacher had discriminated against him and caused him to feel hurt or humiliated.

Christians, whether or not you agree with Catholic teachings, you should be frightened by developments like this. Did anyone ever read this article?

A casual friend of my husbands & a new acquaintance of mine said this to us recently after her love life came up in conversation " You (my husband) are my marriage match and you (me) are my soulmate match"...she is really into Astrology & Horoscopes.....

My husband met this girl thru friends before I did & I do know that she did have a crush on him a while back-(before we were married,but while we were dating- I was out of state for a few months) but,why on earth would a girl say this? I hardly know her,and my husband has never,ever had interest in her & I am not worried a bit that he has feelings for her,so ,no worries there.

Why would a girl say this,and in front of a guys wife? I know I never would-no matter how comfortable I felt. I doubt she knows that I am aware of her past crush on my hubby,but even so,how odd!

We both just looked at her like "No, you did not just say that!"- What would have been an appropriate response?

And also, most importantly, why do you all think someo

A billion-rich professional Evangelistic Forum in Chennai, India, made clear references of patients who could not get cure from Chennai’s Apollo Hospital and Vijaya Hospital finding absolute recovery through its crying prayers to God. I took pain to write to the Hospitals giving reference to the Evangelist’s claim and both the hospitals did not even send me a reply. They may have taken some action because I do not find the Evangelist naming these hospitals afterwards. Recently a Kottayam (Kerala) based another billion-rich Evangelistic Forum - nicknamed ‘Twin Bulls Show’ claimed that they through prayers cured a cancer patient rejected as a hopeless case by the prestigious Regional Cancer Centre. When many Evangelists claim of cures rejected by hospitals and medical profession is it not the duty of the Indian Medical Council to intervene and expose the cheats. Is it not as serious a job as catching quacks indulged in by the I M C?

Like somehow because we refuse to accept theoretical models of forming of living species proposed by the world we must therefore be all dunces who have no understanding capability.
There are many powerful arguements as questions which evolution has failed to even come to touch on.
If bulk the answers we get on if asked to question the reasoning of evolution ends up with humor, snide remarks and unconnected attacks religion.

Don’t you think that cash-hungry fraud Evangelists who parade themselves, as healers and blessings brokers and cheat people with false claims of Holy Ghost intervention and face to face talk with Jesus Christ should be removed without trace from the face of this earth. Is it not absurdity when an Evangelist closes his eyes and claim that he sees Jesus Christ replacing the diseased womb of a woman with a fresh one? Can’t we ask the Evangelist how he felt seeing a naked woman on operation process? Please do not get offended because this is my expression of frustration of people not reacting wildly to these earthly cheats who tarnish the image of Jesus Christ and Christianity. I have heard Evangelists like Stanley Johns and I carry them in my heart for their commitment to faith and mission work.

Please don't give me the free will excuse. Starving children never chose to starve. Mentally ill people never chose to be mentally ill. People with abusive childhoods didn't chose their crappy parents and traumatic upbringings. And so on... We don't chose our genetics or what kind of socioecomic evironment we're born into, which throws a big monkey wrench in the whole free will concept, if you ask me.

So if God is good, loving and has the ability to affect our lives, why do so many people continue to suffer from problems they are not responsible for creating? How can you reconcile a good God with a harsh world?

Yes, what the Black kids did was wrong. You do not solve violence with violence! So they need to be punished. However, there have been six, yes, SIX other incidents that include WHITE ON BLACK VIOLENCE!!! What I don't understand is why you charge one but not the other. That is the basis of the whole case, not trying to get them off. The black kids deserve to serve time, but not 22 years for something that had been done to them multiple times by other people who got a tap on the wrist. I don't mind if you don't support them, but do you see the logic in charging one with attempted murder, but not charging the other when they did the same thing?
