At least we get to elect our legislatures.

These committees were either self-appointed or selected by bishops or princes.

Tody "The Seattle Times " had an interesting article about creature comfort. A funeral home study has found that funeral home pets(dogs) help those in grief. This comes as no surprize to me ,how about you pet lovers?

To Fly into the Sky


Rainy and muggy, humid, and crazy weather the elf’s never saw in the North Pole.

“Are you sure this is the North Pole?” asked Kit the Elf.
“Well there is Santa’s house, and-” said Brea the elf being interrupted by Erica the elf.
“Are you kidding, yeah this is the North Pole!”

Kit pulled Rudolph into the barn, and Brea unpacked the other reindeer. While Erica stood outside and stared at Diyler the fairest of them all as the girls called him. Diyler was the boy that every girl dreamed of being married to. Except he was a elf.

“Hello Kit and Brea. How were the reindeer on the trail?” asked Santa.
“Hello Santa! THEY WERE GREAT!” the girls shouted happily!
“Thanks for getting them out there for there exercise.”
“No problem Santa! We’ll do it anytime!”

Santa pulled up his fat, and marched out of the barn and helped up the elf’s who dropped toys loading up in the toy shed. Who slipped on ice and tripped Santa on accident and Santa fell to his bottom.

My only knowledge of angels are the fat happy little babies with wings. I hardly imagine that Gabriel in the Bible was like that. What are they? Do they have free will, like humans? Does God assign each of us one as a guardian?

i know he supposedly died for our sins, but wouldn't that have to be consentual to disprove my point, which it wasn't?

also how do you (where you=rank and file christian, since you'll deny personal involvement) defend your ideal that jews are lesser, when you (this time you=christian's which does specifically include you) stealing jesus, when he was a jew. i doubt he would have even advocated Christianity in the first place, let alone be your lord and savior.

About an hour ago a former Protestant Minister who has converted to a Catholic Priest asked a question about how Protestants interpret the meaning of the Pope being "infalable". He said that he was wanting to debate the subject on R & S. After giving him my answer, I went back a few minutes later to see what he had to say about it, and guess what I was told. "You cannot view this question at this time." HE BLOCKED ME. LOL.
Well my question to you is "Who won the debate"?

Of course, that includes adhering to the same method of interpreting EVERY PASSAGE, not just the ones that you like the best or sound the most pleasant.

Do you think any human could possibly deal with all the conflicting instructions, or would you at some point just have to pick a few that you know you can obey and discard the rest?

What are your thoughts on the differences and similarities with modern society and culture?

Let's say there's a farmer who lives in Tibet years ago. He's never heard of Christ, but he tries to lead a decent life. He provides for his family, he treats his neighbors with respect, and he never violated the ten commandments, even though he's never heard of them. Then, one day, while bringing food to the market to sell, his horse trips, he falls off, hits his head, and dies.

Would a loving God send him to hell?

I have been thinking that there is no choice but to claim atheism because I lack a belief in any god. However, I can't say that I'm positive there is no god. I just don't see any proof of one right now. So... doesn't that make me an atheist?

Everything that exists has limits and boundaries, but there must be something that is limitless to set those limits, otherwise, everything would be limitless...

No hostility here I'm your well wisher

I also wanted to know, what you thought about this:
when most people are under conditions that have too much pressure and stress for the brain to coop with, they turn to something thats above them for help, In my view its a natural response to say or think "oh, my god..." when you have near-to-death experiences.

Is atheism a recent belief? have people in the times of the incas and farther back, in the dark ages, believed in no god? If so, then how is it possible that so many people were deluded into thinking that no god exists? I think that we needed to depend on something that was uncontrolable, we needed to believe something, and so therefore every person had some spiritual feelings that called them to think about a supernatural creator..just my insight, please share yours thank you

When Christians name a scripture title atheists come right back with a wisecrack explanation as to why that piece of scripture is wrong. Or do they just know all the bible verses already? I'm just wondering.
