Atheists, Satanist, Paganists, WHATEVER you are...

How can you honestly believe we have no God.. our Lord and Creator???? Even the Declaration of Indepedence said- and I quote.. "endowed by their Creator certain inalienable rights"
Ok.. so if your creator was your parents, then your rights would not be inalienable would they??? Only GOD can grant LIFE and therefore only HE can take it away...

God's grace, power, mercy, and love are ALL AROUND YOU... how can you NOT see it???

Wow this is weird... like a dream I had last night... but nvm...

But I just don't understand how you can look at the world and not think we came from a higher being...

I have a habit of saying Oh my Goodness without the extra o and the ness. My family just started going to church and I now know that it is a sin to say that. Will god ever forgive me? How can I break the habit. I am 13 and I need help.

The very name means, "Son of the Dragon." Its odd that a name known for stirring nightmares actually belonged to a crusader of a religious cause. Dracula was not a saint. Could he have been an angel kicked out of Heaven (though no name like that was mentioned) yet was a crusader of a religious cause? What could that religious cause be?

Truth: One of the tools of the devil ?

Truth can lie, when it is part of the truth !!

Law, justice and the bible, should not be followed merely by mankinds interpretation, but with an understanding of the intentions of Jesus Christ as the final factor ?


Check out John 15:16?

"No greater love hath any man than to lie down their lives for them" (a life of servitude to mankind)

changes to

"No greater love hath any man than to die for them" (used to manipulate war, and going to war in the name of God)

The interpretation can be undestood by the last sentence in this verse: "Love One Another"

By changing the words, and leaving out the last line, you get two powerful half-truths, using parts

To members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - have you asked yourself as I have - why was I born into the church when my friend down the street was not?
We should not be ashamed to boldly declare that this church is the actual true church that Christ Himself restored to the earth- the world needs to know it. For nearly 2000 years, true priesthood authority was not on the earth, until it was restored in 1830 (http://www.lds.org/portal/site/LDSOrg/menuitem.b3bc55cbf541229058520974e44916a0/?vgnextoid=32c41b08f338c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=f71a7befabc20110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&hideNav=1&contentLocale=0).
It's Christ's church, not ours. Anyone who becomes worthy can be baptized and join. But why was I born into an LDS family when my neighbor was not? I kind of doubt it was because I was more vailant in the pre existence - there are far better people in this world than me who are not members of the church.

I dont got a lotta cash and my parents are going to be finished working in a few years. I want to ship them off to a hippie commune where they get free food shelter and medical care and just have to chip in 40 hours of work. They also get a great social life. I wouldnt be ina hippie commune myself because Im still a young man and being in a commune is like being in a computer game it may feel good but it aint real. But its a great place to retire so why dont they just do it? Plus u dont have to put any money in to join. And then id get my parents house.

Paul introduced the idea of "not under the 'Law' but 'Grace.'

He knew the pagans would not accept his religion if he made it too difficult for them.

Are you supposed to tip on the total bill - including the tax? Or just the food & beverage portion, excluding the tax?

It makes a big difference in NYC where the tax is nearly 9%

It may be true that many Asian girls date Caucasian guys, but what is up with Asian guys and their reaction?

If a girl is mixed, or born and raised in America, what is wrong with marrying outside her race?

I've spoken to some Asian guys and they all say that Asian girls are all "sell-outs" etc. by dating outside their race. The fact is that many of these girls were born and raised in the Midwest or some White state for example...so what is wrong with that?

I am part Asian and I lived my entire life in a white area. Hence all my boyfriends have been white. I admit I am more attracted to non-Asians, but so what? I just like big eyes and high noses...

Don't get me wrong. I do have Asian guy friends, but they tend to think like me. And they usually have Caucasian girlfriends. I feel as if the Asian guys who complain about Asian girls just can't get any from ANY girl, regardless of her race.

Hi,

Are there still Americans who wish to transform Canada into a Republic instead of a Constitutional Monarchy/Representative Democracy...

Or has this all finally died out?

Do YOU know any Americans who thinks Canada should dump the Queen?

if god is real, then why did nothing happen when i asked him to reveal himself. and why do you lie saying that he has healed you when he doesn't exist. either he doesn't exist or he wants me to burn in hell. take your pick, both disprove your faith because if god does exist, he is not all loving

Hey pagans!!! I went to town to get Mabon supplies for my ritual tonight and tomorrow and my house is swarmed by honey bees!! Hows that for an omen!! swarmed by honey bees on Mabon!!! They let me get back into the house but I can't leave it until it cools off in the evening and they become calm. I'm trying to figure out where the Queen is. By the density of the swarm I'd say she was near the back door. I called a few people but we just gotta wait them out.

why do people practise most of the 10 commandments (even as morals though not as biblical laws) but not the 4th which refers to the Sabbath? Some people claim that the commandments were done away with @ jesus' death, yet theft, murder, adultery etc. is looked down upon in society. If they were done away with, then why are they still wrong? and if breaking the rest of the nine commandments is "wrong" then what about the fourth????
