believe that if 'human science' makes a mistake, it proves that all scientific data is false,
& that if a 'christan church or science' makes a mistake, the entire basis of faith still remains fact?

Thing is this, whenever you go to a restaurant or movie theater or anywhere really, there's always parents with a kid or two, and they're always screaming or just simply annoying the heck out of someone that's nearby, why do we never do something?, why is it that we're suppose to just put up with it when we're there to have a good time, a nice relaxing meal or watch a movie?, why is it that any maitre d' is a lot more likely to ask you to keep it down because of your mobile than because of a screaming kid?, why do parents never do anything about it?, they only sort of smile at you like saying "what a mess, huh?, but well kids will be kids, i suppose you'll just have to run back home and change your shirt, sorry about the "whatever" my kid spilled on you", and that just doesn't cut it, don't you think?, so tell me friends, who's robbed us of our reason?, why do we put up with this?, why do some people expect us to do so without complain?, why can't you have a nice quiet meal anymore?

13 And Jesus came into the region of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples: who do people say that the Son of man is?
14 But they said: Some John the Baptist, some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 Jesus said to them: But who do you say I am?
16 Simon Peter answered and said: You are Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed are you, Simon son of Jona, because flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 And I say to you: That you are Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven

I dont get how people say Peter wasn't incharge- its right there, can someone please explain how people do not see it?

Or the so-called “leading of the holy Spirit?” Hasn’t this led to crazy interpretations? For example the justification of incest, slavery and the holocaust? The 30 years war between Catholics and Protestants, prejudices, more than 30,000 Christian denominations and the disunity of Christendom? Not to mention cults led by people like Jim Jones and David Koresh who tell their followers to commit suicide? Is this Christ’s way of uniting Christians following his prayer for all of us to be one? I certainly don’t think so.

Jesus prayed that His followers would be ONE.
"that they may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us..." (John 17:21)

St. Paul emphasizes that all followers of Jesus Christ should be ONE.
"Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement." (1 Cor 1:10)

Why can’t Fundamentalists, Evangelicals and Pentecostals realize that when we bash each other we are effectively bashing Christianity? We have chosen different paths towards the kingdom of God. Why can’t we just walk the path we have chosen and let the other believers follow theirs for the sake of Christianity?

Your honest, prayerful, and Christian opinion will be highly appreciated.

I was thinking about this over the weekend. I think that the average (if such a thing exists!) atheist has a positivist outlook on life. He/she believes that deep down, most people are inherently good, and that we all have the tools within ourselves to be moral people and contribute to society and form meaningful relationships. When such a person makes a bad choice, they see it as an aberration, and not the sign of a character flaw, and decide on their own power to do better next time.

The Christian, on the other hand, has at his/her heart a fundamental sense of "brokenness"--the sense that, without the help of a more powerful and "Good" being, they would tend to make choices that were harmful to themselves or others, because deep down, people are selfish at heart. When such a person makes a bad choice, they see it as a symptom of their inability to do good on their own power, and proof that they need to seek a "Higher Power" to become who they want to/are meant to be.

Thoughts?

I was born and bred here and I find the U.K depressing.I think the U.S.A is a kick *** country and I hate this country because:

1.Our health care sucks, this is just about the only country in the world were you can go into a hospital and come out more worse off than you went in.(MRSA, Bugs etc)

2.You have to pay to have a T.V license!, which is complete crap

3.Our country is now using Global warming as an excuse to tax us up to our eyeballs, mind you they have been taxing us up more than any other country in the world

4.This is the only country in the world, I think that takes of the middle class people and gives to the poor and rich!

5.Our weather is crap.

I would rather live in Australia, U.S, Canada, France, Spain etc than the U.K or Ireland.

IS it crazy that I am obsessing over this? Do you think it is strange that I am scared to have children believing that if Notadamus is correct the world will end in 2012. Thats in 4 years. I cant eat or sleep. And not only is it a prediction by him, but Mayan Calenders stop on the same date. Is anyone else believe this and if not Please tell me why you believe different, I would really like some hope.

The Australians are the worst. Always saying how good there country is and how good the weather is and how lousy we are at cricket and how they want independence and how they hate the monarcy. God they can whinge. The Americans, They are so much in our shadow that you can't see thhem, always telling the world that if it was'nt for them etc etc. Always trying to put us down in there films, They have one serious complex. Then theres the French, Lets not go there with them. When is everybody outside of the UK going to realize that England is the center of the world? It has been for the last five hundred years and will be for the next five hundred. In war we have beaten or occupied almost every country so what have we got to prove now? What do you want? our blood? We are the greatest nation that the world has ever seen and nobody Isay nobody will ever come close. They cant. Stand up all you non believers and argue the point, Lets see if you have the bottle.

Mine is "Song of Songs," because of it's open sensual allegory in describing God. This type of reference really works for my mind.

"I rose to open to my lover,
with my hands dripping myrrh:
With my fingers dripping choice myrrh
upon the fittings of the lock."
