We're over the hill but don't feel sad
This side of the hill ain't all that bad.
So give us "five" and then a smile
To us who have been here for awhile.
With by-pass pain and mended hip
And plumbing fixtures prone to drip;
We all may seem a sorry lot,
But we rejoice for what we've got.
We have each day and what it brings
And on our pensions live like kings.
For the press that accuses what we take
To coin a phrase, "Let them eat cake."
We've paid our share for unused knowledge
As the kids are now all done with college.
We complain to them about our health
As they worry about our dwindling wealth.
And though our wardrobes may be plain
We'll suffer no more labor or pain.
Now it's with cane we do our strut
And if we can't drive - we still can putt.
We're mean and tough, meet all demands,
Why, M&M's melt in our hands.
Yes, we're still here, and it does delight us
That you join our fight against arthritis.
But we ask you make a pledge today
That you'll be careful what you say.
We have to spread "Over the Hill" fear
Or we'll have those young folks over here.

Okay, please try and follow. According to most religions the universe is only a few thousand years old. Yet we are able to see light from stars and galaxies that are billions of light years away. If the world were only a few thousand years old we would not be able to see that light yet because it would still be billions of light years away from us. So either God tricked us by placing the photons of light billions of light years closer to earth than should be OR…. the universe is actually some 13 billion years old.
Which is it?

When there are NO original manuscripts, there are hundreds of forged scriptures...
And there's virtually NO extrabiblical evidence that Jesus Christ ever even existed!!??
Josephus was forged, Tacitus is highly debatable and pretty much, that's it!
No first-hand accounts of this man exist!, yet there were forty or so historians right there when all this supposedly happened. There are a lot of reasons to believe it was all made up - plenty of motives!
There's just as much evidence for tinkerbell! At least we have pictures of abraham lincoln.. and what about all the hundreds of manuscripts that WERE NOT included in the Bible!? They tell a very different story.
How can people embrace such a thing, with so scant evidence? Aren't they being silly? No rational person could swallow it all...
Is it that most of you were taught all this stuff as children and eventually rationalized it to the point that you're brainwashed?
Or are you merely afraid to live life on your own merit?

Who IS God?
Is it Brahman?
Is it Buddha?
Is is "God"?
Is it Allah?
Is it Jehovah?
Is it Yahweh?
Is it Ik Onkar Nam?
Or is there no God at all?
Who IS it? Who is Omniscient and Omnipresent for all of us? He is one, we just have to narrow them down...

s this possible?
it occurred to me that freedom could be quite dangerous:
- freedom allows any belief
- beliefs are perceptions of truth
- truth cannot be universally accepted
- conflicting truths result in conflict
- freedom allows conflict
- war results from conflict
i am not a nihilist, but suddenly its occurred to me that freedom may be more of a societal burden than a benefit.
1. is freedom dangerous?
2. does freedom jeopardize social construct?
3. does freedom serve as a barrier to productivity?
4. does freedom increase anxiety/fear?

If the Bible prophecy about Antichrist came about in our lifetime, would you choose receiving a mark in order to buy food? This would include worshiping that global leader that brought "peace" to the world. The option of not receiving the mark and worshiping the leader is death by beheading. So, would you receive "the mark" to survive?

2 weeks ago i thought my life was perfect. i had a beautiful girlfriend who i loved, and a great job. then last week my girlfriend left me, didnt give me a reason and didnt do it to my face, she sent me a message on myspace.
and at work (i work at a bowling ally) i was trying to get a ball unstuck from one of the machines my boss yelled from out front asked if i got it yet
i yelled back "not yet" but he thought i said "got it" so he turned on the machine. my hand got cought on the belt and pulled into the gears, it got torn up very bad and it hurt like hell
it was so torn up that at the hospital they decided they had to chop it off.
so now, not only am i not very attractive (i never was) but i'm deformed too, which means i'll never get another girl, not that anyone would be as good as shayna.
but with only 1 hand i cant really do any work at the ally so i lost my job too.
plus i cant join the marines now, so i will never be able to afford collage, so i'll never become a lawyer

I was talking to someone the other day who said that he TALKS WITH JESUS every day!!!
That he believes those old stories in the Bible, as if they were true!!!!!!
Do a lot of people actually believe this stuff? I suddenly feel like the whole world is going mad!
They actually believe that a virgin had a baby, someone walked on water, changed water to wine, raised the dead, a giant flood destroyed the earth, pillars of fire and prophets and adam and eve and talking donkeys and a place of eternal bliss called Heaven and a place of eternal torment called Hell!!!?!?!?!!!?!?!!!
How many of you have been brainwashed out there? Should I move to Great Britain, where most people have left Christianity and seem to be coming to their senses?

The first ammendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," This one small statement is interpreted to mean that there is NO interaction between government and religion. There are even some people who think christians should not even hold public office.
From a christian point of view, how do you view "separation of church and state, knowing that separtion of church and state is interpreted from the above excerpt of the 1st ammendmant and taken from a letter written to the Danbury Baptists rather than an actual statement in the constitution?
Religious existance in the U.S. is summed up by the government in 16 words.
Would you like to see a fundamentalist christian country?
