Maybe we need a rational person in the White House who doesn't believe in supernatural beings.

That's how I feel sometimes. Like when that teacher was forced to apologise for that teddy bear thing, our football team, that whole thing with Iran earlier this year.

What do you think? Do you think the whole of Britain has become a laughing stock? I mean, we used to head a massive empire.

I have noticed a great preponderance of this type of humor over the past decade. Twenty or thirty years ago you would not have seen it, and it would have been totally unacceptable. But now we see these types of jokes on cartoon shows, live action comedy shows, and in movies.

I have a few thoughts about them.

One is that they are sometimes offensive. I know its a free country with free speech, but does that mean its okay for someone to mock my religion?

Another thing I think is that the whole thing has just become tired and boring. What was shocking 12 years ago has now become mundane. Talentless comedy writers just throw in jokes about religion (in this case, about Jesus) just to get a rise out of people.

I'm not totally against humor that is about religion. If its clever and makes us think and ask some good questions, than it can sometimes be a good thing.

But if its just to try and get a rise out of people then its silly and banal.

What are your thoughts about this?

James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

the bible never said confess your sins.....Why do you disobey?

religions have all the attributes of a disease.

its infectious. especially within families from parents to children.
it makes you do stupid stuff like killing people who dont believe in your religion. can you imagine a pathogenic disease that compels you to kill people not infected???
it manipulates your mind, make you believe in things you normally wouldnt like self-contradictory things i.e. god loves you god can do anything yet people still suffer.
its CHRONIC, children are most at risk. the longer a person has it the harder it is to cure them. beside being very hard to cure in the first place.



the more i think of it religions are like AIDS but worse.

I would appreciate to know since when & what kind of reactions you did experience from your surroundings?

I am a fulltime barefooter, living in the centre of Europe and my life is very exposed, due to the jobs I am doing!
My personal experiences are mostly positive and not only regarding my family & friends, but also customers & officials, once they have noticed “it’s his lifestyle”! Most people I met don’t worry and simply don’t care. Some find it even cool and courageous!
So I like to know whether it’s just me, or if there are others with the same positive experience, or if you had a lot of unpleasant situations!

was shes Gods mom? or just a vessel for a thing for God to enter?

Luke 1:35
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

why do the last 3 words say Son of God......not Mary?
