I don't agree with their beliefs , but have to give them soooo o much credit for the way they conduct themselves. I seriously had more influence to be a better person from them than any other religion (besides Islam) ..........

Bible-fundies are so against good works. would you want to be stuck with a Bible-fundie when you get into trouble? I have to say it's not a good idea. it could cause you your life.

According to the Church of England, that is.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/08/12/nbish12.xml

So, according to this Bishop, "I Vow to Thee, My country" is heretical and racist, a symbol of Nazism.

According to the Bishop, the second verse is alright, but the first verse is.

"My country, right or wrong is not an appropriate sentiment for Christians to uphold," he said.

I'll print the first verse.

"I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice."

It was written to remember the fallen Allied soldiers in the First World War.

Did that verse seem racist to you?

I would rather be labelled a Nazi than stoop to such disgusting levels of "multiculturalism".

Sorry for my ignorance. I have always assumed that these three religions are of the same 'family' of religions. Can anyone tell me the fundamental differences between the three?

Do more believe that stuff or just believe it's good imagination, even if they like that it happens?

To be fair, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and etc. can see through the delusions of other religions but not their own. Catholics can see through the absurdities of Ortodox Christians but not their own and vice versa.

You Christians can think of all the reasons and justifications of why other religions are delutionalry and sound perfectly logical about it, but when it comes to your own religion, your brains just shut down. You simply refuse to criticize your own religion the way you criticize other religions. Can you deny this fact?

What does this fact tell you? I'll tell you what: "Every religion is delusionary". A simple fact that you do not want to accept!

As far as I know, there isn't any name for it:

Raising your eyebrows in moderate succession, usually with a smile. It is supposed to be slyly suggestive, or usually sexually suggestive.

I'm trying to practice my Spanish as well as talk to them in their language, but I don't want to come off as overstepping my boundaries or being rude. I always do so very mildly ( I would never try to use slang or anything) and gently with a smile. But, I don't want them to be offended or anything.

What do you think?

as far I, personally, can see, not one single Bible-fundie dedicated his/her life helping the poor needy people like Mother Teresa did, but the Bible-fundies dare say that she's in hell, and they (Bible-fundies) are going to Heaven just because they are Bible-fundies.

seriously, fundies, who is this god of yours that you speak of? it doesn't sound like the God of the Christians.

Words can not utter
the splendor You hold.
Your love for me
is finer than gold.

Your nature is love,
mercy and grace.
To such an extent
that no words can say.

I’m humbled completely
at your feet I serve.
In awe of Your mercy
which I’ll never deserve.

Glory to You!
who was humbled for me.
Praise the Lord!
You’ve set me free!

You’ve removed the shekels
and broken the chains.
My sins washed away.
No darkness remains.

No longer captive.
You’ve taken the shame.
My sentence is pardoned
for which You took the blame.

Abandoned and hopeless,
My ship had gone down.
You gave Your last breath
so that I wouldn’t drown.

No one can measure
or give You the praise.
You so richly deserve
for Your infinite grace.

not understand our theories of God?

If the Trinity is one God in three persons, then why can't we believe in one God in many persons? That would easily explain how our heavenly Father can have a Father and a grandfather, etc.

The Brahmin is the finest flower of Hinduism and humanity. I will do nothing to whither it.XXVI-331,Brahmins are born, not so Brahminism. It is a quality open to be cultivated by the lowliest or the lowest among us.XXVI-331,A true Brahmin should be the very image of humility and not be proud of his knowledge or wisdom.T-3-270,A Brahmin was hardly worth the name, if he did not have the courage of his convictions.T-3-270,The Brahmin’s duty is to look after the sanitation of the soul, the bhangi’s that of the body of society.T-4-104,Where is the real Brahmin today, content with a bare living and giving all his time to study and teaching?T-5-97 ,I have the highest reverence for Brahminism, under which a class has been set apart from generation to generation for the exclusive pursuit of divine knowledge and consigned to voluntary poverty.T-3-195,

At work, half of us say, "You don't have to do that," and accept it with a blush. The other half of us politely say, "Thank you," and go about our business.

In case The Prince leaves me all heartbroken for eternities and even when he the time that he can, he still doesn't give 1/2 a darn about me and forgets about my existence... of this list, who do you guys think should be my back up love so I will have someone to love?

A.) Spider Pig
B.) Chuck Norris
C.) Aaron Carter

The 3 of them are the type of guy that my dad WOULD NOT want for me... except for Chuck Norris who would scare the heck out of him and make him (dad) accept him (Chuck). If you were my daddy, would you accept me to love one of these? ^_^ Do you wanna add another back up love?
