since it was revised four times, the last being in 1769.
What Bible would these KJV worshippers recommend since before 1611 there was no Bible.
Do they realize that the apostle Paul did not use the KJV. Why do KJV only advocates reject the apocrypha, since the original 1611 version contained the apocrypha?

*Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the PC Police had taken away,*
*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*
* December 25th is just a " Holiday ".*

*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from Madonna, an X-BOX, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
* At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*
*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*

*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*
*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
; * Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*


*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
*So as you celebrate "Winter Break" under your "Dream Tree"*
*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*


*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,

not Happy Holiday!*

Just "who" intended this and "how" did they intend this. If you say God is the "who" and he/she/magician intended it, HOW did he do so. By continually making gay people and making them fall in love.

I think people follow this philosophy of the intention of men and women are supposed to be together, and don't even know from whence or where the philosophy comes from (other than parroting Bible Verses which mean nothing). The Bible does not govern the land UNLESS you are a follower and believer of it. If you are supposed to be with the opposite sex, then great for you, otherwise, it was INTENDED for me to be with a female...

I wasnt claiming that they do brainwash children as they claim Christians do. I simply asked why were they so bad at it. Was it that someone might infer that I was implying that Christians brainwash children? I could see where that might make someone mad.

Just curious as to why this question would get deleted. It always irks me that they never really give you an explanation when a question is deleted.

For example, in very primitive countries like Afghanistan, the belief in god is close to 100%, whilst in western countries such as Sweden, its closer to 23%. Also in countless studies of scientists, university professors and other learned men, this pattern is continued. Why do we think this might be?

If you believe, as I have heard some who do (at conferences and such - read books) that the earth was created by a big bang, but...
in the words of one "I just know you banged it!"

Do you believe;
1) That we banged and had a carbon planet that evolved into something?

Or
2)That we banged and then God set people on the earth.

Now state 1 or 2, or other and fill me in.

Second question,

if you chose 1, and claim to be religious (accepting at least genesis) then how do you claim to believe the Bible (at least genesis) because it plainly states that God created things in an order at one time.

No yom = day = period of time
stuff...

Every time in the Bible Yom is used WITH A NUMERAL (first day second day ect.)
1 physical morning and evening day is meant, and in addition the Bible states "and there was morning and evening the 'first' day"...

Please stay respectful, I am wondering about beliefs.

Thank you.

They don't beleive in fairies, Bigfoot, or people having telekenisis, etc.

But they'll readily believe any story/tale involving God and Jesus and the existence of angels and an afterlife. I don't understand that mentality.

This question is directed at Christians who are anti-immigration. I'd expect atheists to be anti-immigration, but Christians should know better.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said what we do to the "least" of us we do to Him. If we persecute and torment "illegal" aliens (how can a person be illegal) we will have to answer it before God.

Now, none of this "render unto Caesar" crap! That's taxes. Nor give me this crap obeying the laws of the land.

It is simple: "least of ye do to Me."

pretend to your boss that you are a God fearing Christian. I recently found out that my boss is an evangelical Christian. So I read the whole Bible, I memorized a few lines from it, and now I show up to church every sunday with my boss. I worked there for 4 years and never got a raise or a promotion. I simply told him that I have always gone to this church and that we just never ran into each other and he bought it. Now, I am a few months away from becoming a secretary for him. I have recieved multiple raises and life is good. You see atheists, you need to just take advantage of a bad situation. Sure most people are Christians and that's annoying as Hell, but make the best of a bad situation.

A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and therefore we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now, please sit back and relax... Oh my god!"

The passengers sat in silence, waiting for terrible news.

Then, the captain came back on the intercom and said "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier, but while I was talking, the flight- attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"

A passenger in Coach said, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"

1 - I don't understand what he's saying so I just assume that he must be wrong.

2 - I deliberately misinterpret the question so I can bring up an irrelevant subject which I know about so I look clever.

3 - I ignore the glaring logic of the question and quote useless bible passages.

4 - I call him an idiot because I don't know what else to say.

5 - I ignore the question because I don't like thinking about things which challenge my faith.


Mostly they go for 3.

Germany is called das Land der Dichter und Denker, but I don't understand why. Of course, it's because of persons like Goethe and Kant, but how does that make Germany great? There are so many other countries like Greece and India where there have been thinkers and artists of higher achievement. What is so great about Germany that it at least is better than countries like England and France (let alone Greece and India)?

(I don't mean any offense here to German people. This question is born purely of curiosity and want of justification, because my teacher keeps saying German literature is great but doesn't say why).

Jerry received a parrot for his birthday. The parrot was fully-grown with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that werent expletives were, to say the least very rude. Jerry tried hard to change the birds attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, anything he could think of to try and set a good example. Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird and the bird yelled back. He shook the bird and the bird just got angrier and became even more rude. Finally in a moment of desperation. Jerry put the parrot in the FREEZER. For a few moments he heard the bird squawk and kick and scream. Then suddenly, there was a ---- -Not a sound for half a minute. Jerry was frightened that he might have hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The Parrot calmly stepped out onto Jerrys extended arm and said: "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I will endeavor at once to correct my behavior. I really am

It's a little long, but should be easy reading for people from both camps. Would you be willing to read it and share any comments you have?

Thank you to those who answered the first part of my question. I figured it would be this way. I definitely made the most foolish mistake of my life. Now to add to the foolishness.

A friend of mine who was never meant to be told I was dead was told just that by my father who was helping me carry out option 2. I have to say he was helping me only under duress. He has never agreed with what I have done. Anyway, when my friend found out, he also found out that my fiancee had done exactly as I hoped she would do and had moved on with her life. She had found someone else. My friend thought it too soon and said some horrible things to her and unknown to me (my father kept this from me till recently) has been harassing her. A couple of weeks ago this friend found out my 'death' was a lie. He apparently told my fiancee. (cont.)

Some parts speak of the creation, others of raping/killing infidels, some parts of love.

How do you know which parts to take and which to put away,
without using a moral sense present in every human ?

Or is god speaking to you directly to let you know that this part is ok, this one is not ?
