all their blabber are supposed to be funny when other people say it, but maybe fundies don't deliver their jokes right. when some people say, "oh, go to hell", it doesn't sound offensive at all, but when they are the ones who say those words, it's just so annoying.

what do you people think, does it have something to do with how fundies deliver their jokes?

...make sure kids get a real sex education, free birth control, and start implementing some real punishments for rapists? Sure that leaves a lot of other issues out there, but these simple measures would significantly cut down on demand for abortions. Shouldn't you be promoting that if you are "pro-life"? Or just think it would be easier to avoid the issue to begin with, when possible?

If you're really against abortion, why not help prevent them by helping women avoid unplanned pregnancies to begin with? Why is a significant portion of our society still avoiding these simple "solutions"?

This sounds silly I'm sure. It makes me feel silly...

This has been happening for awhile. Everytime I look at the time it is something 44. It's almost as if it is the only number I notice. When I am out with people I always glimpse at something 44. I went to get a new cell phone and my numer has 8 fours in it. I just bought a new alarm clock and when I set it at 7:45 it went off at 7:44. At night I wake up to pee and it is 2:44. I wake up again at night and it is 5:44. I'm not sure how to describe this phobia I have of the number 44 or really what explanation I'm looking for exactly. Maybe I just trained my eyes to be attracted to it... BUT IT IS STALKING ME!!! Anyone else experience number superstition/phobia like this? Does 44 have any past superstitious value?

You say christianity is a copy of mythology so what you gonna do when you burn in hell from something thats"just a myth". If you look at the websites you will see that mythology does not copy Christ thats just the losers who made the site.

I guess playing with a Ouija board is safe too? it based on a myth ha ha....after all theres no devil?

Let do this for nine days and see what happens (His feast day will be during this). Its guaranteed to work. Now, I'm not Catholic/Christian but I've heard a lot of amazing things. Here's my research below so you have everything you need.

Post what you feel, past experiences, results to this experiment, and if you'd like you can post your request to Saint Jude:




St Jude is invoked in desperate situations because his New Testament letter stresses that the faithful should persevere in the environment of harsh, difficult circumstances, just as their forefathers had done before them. Therefore, he is the patron saint of desperate cases and his feast day is October 28.

Many people have experienced and testified to Saint Jude's help in the worst situation time of their lives. Like these many people, we have been touched and blessed by St Jude during our difficuit moment.

Yay! i found other Wiccans in my small town in rural Illinois!
although it's only two others i'm sure there are more (and one is a Wiccan Mother! ^_^ she has cute little kids) still it's cool that i'm not the only wiccan in Flora.

Now i was wondering how i can start a Pagan Pride Celebration in a christian community???

See every year this town is host to a HUGE celebration called "Jesus Day" and i thought since we can have a christian day then we should have a pagan day too, right?

so how could i get this started? (and i have all of this year to plan, it's too cold to have a celebration now)

interpretation of the Bible.. and they almost are similar in some cases.. but they follow different rules..like for example the trinity, jesus is not god, the holy eucharistic,the saturday, the concept of woman.. some of them accept woman as a pastor when the bible said the woman should be quiet and subordenate to man.. and they have many different point of views.. does jesus said go for the world and make your own church? does jesus really founded a church through peter in matthew 16:18

I'm doing a report about WHY intelligent design should be TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

I personally think that it should be taught because Science is there to DISPROVE theories.
Studying ID would disprove "Evolution".

However, I could care less if you believe in it or not as I am not here to argue whether or not it is true. I'm asking why it should be taught in public schools.

So far I have:
1. Natural Selection vs. Evolution
2. The Time that it took God to create the world
-In the Bible it states that 1 day meant 1,000 years and 1 second of God took x amount of years.

Please help!

Thanks!

But how, HOW, does that make it wrong?

I've encountered this several times now. They think that there simply must be mystery in the world. They're upset by the concept of no afterlife. And they act like that is why you shouldn't be an Atheist.

Here's the example that inspired this question:

Do you see Christians as brothers and sisters in faith? Is Islam and Christianity not very similar overall? Do you feel we share the same God/Allah? Are Christians outright sinning if they do not follow Mohamed's (PBUH) teachings? Views please!
