If you do then where was the "true" church hiding between Constantine and the Reformation? The Catholic Church saved the Bible and educated most of the Reformers (Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, Thomas Cranmer, Roger Williams, Menno Simons and many more). How can you trust the Bible and the Reformers if their teachers were so awful?

I'm not saying they were wrong to rebel just that your virulent dislike (bordering on hatred) really makes you sound like nasty, petulent children throwing a temper tantrum.

There are also less easily identified diseases which are closely related such as technophobia, sciencephobia and educationphobia. It would be this century's greatest achievment if we could rid society of these atrocious diseases. Do you care about your childrens future?

I just got a phone call for a job offer to be a Methodist Minister. I have heard that everyone has their price.

Though I disagree with Methodist on various doctrines, $107,000 per year is tempting. (3 x's what I make now)

And yes it was a real job offer.

I won't actually take the offer, I just thought this was amusing. What do you think? SHould I take it? LoL

Most Catholics that I know aren't "saved" or "born again" in the sense of the word as I know it (the sense that I know it isn't the fundie sense either, fundies are not my faves!). I was born a Roman Catholic and was saved earlier this year, spontaneously graced with Baptism of the Holy Spirit with wisdom and fire 18 hours later. Although always a Catholic at heart, I now consider myself a Gnostic Christian Universalist.

As a Catholic, being "saved" is not a part of the traditional practices of Catholicism, yet I know you're out there. How did you come to be saved? What was your experience? How do fellow Catholics view you? Have you stayed with your Roman Catholic church or found something different?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Jesus told us to say that when we pray, according to Scripture, so did he mean to just say it once in our lives or should we say it every day? How does this relate to the admonishment against repetition?

Are they really afraid that evolution will somehow devalue thier place on Earth?
Are they really afriad that they won't go to heaven?
Just what is the threat that causes them to overlook a huge body of evidence supporting evolution. Evoution just has to be one of the most beautiful laws (not theory as the general public uses the word) in science.

I'm not asking this in the "Science" category because I'm familiar with those agruments

i hoped it will be real..
i am afraid of these huge buildings much biggere and taller then me..so i hoped that after that earthquake ..no one will buid again..such towers..
when i go to the countriside..the houses seen from the street are as tall as me..and the sky is above..me and can be seen..in the city..i am walking in the streets with all those towers in my head..there have been earthquakes..people have died,.and still they buid such buildings..they don't care about those who will die..in a possible earthquake that will exceed their measures ..because they cannot limit God..in degrees..they have no responsability at all..
so i hoped at least the earthquake from the end it was real..maybe i am stupid..but i think it is better to be on the side of God..then say:''aww,,..there will never be an end..'' or..''awww..an earthqauke..hundreds of people have been killed .in the earthquake'' says the news..an eartqauke cannot kill..only somebody who has a plan to kill kills
