Lets compare the magor monotheistic religions to Coke and Pepsi Cola. They are ubiquitous and contain many variations. Such as Diet, cherry,with lime, caffine free, one callorie, ect. There are also fad's with in them. Like Crystal pepsi.
Satanism fits into the theme, but is somewhat caustic, like your Tab or Jolt cola.
Athiesm and agnostisism would be like seltzer and tonic water. Less flaver but it gets the job done.
Buddism would be like Orangina simple and refreshing with profound subtilty, but not everyone agrees it's a soda ...err..religion.
Wicca and Paganism would be like root beer, or birch beer. You know, kinda earthy.
Voodoo would be Ginger beer. Powerfull, but not for everyone.
and scientology would be the mountain dew.

Christians sole purpose is to glorify God through worshiping Jesus! It is my contention through studying masonry that it is purely satanic. You can't see it on the surface because it is disguised. It SEEMS to be all about making people good and respectable and many other positive descriptive words. I am also very happy with the work of Shriner's Hospitals and other good works of some Masons. But what can be said of an organization that doesn't care to mention Jesus but still says you must believe in a Deity. You might be able to mention the name Jesus in the presence of other Masons but if someone says they do not believe in Jesus how can someone who claims to be a Christian not feel obligated to stand up for Jesus. If the Deity isn't Jesus, particularly Jesus and only Jesus, it is simply the devil no matter how you slice it. No one can get to God the Father except through Jesus, that includes our prayers. That's why we pray in Jesus' name. And yes I am a Jesus freak

on my grandfathers tombstone they put "death makes angels of us all"......I don't think its appropriate because I interpret it to mean that the only reason we talk about all the good is because he died. Well, sorry...I'm not explaining myself completely, I can't put it into words.....

They only want us to visit their point of view and study their so called proof of evolution or so called evidence of no God, however they do not wish to investigate the possibility of God, read the bible in it's entirety and not only cut and paste a few old testament passages. I think they are depriving themselves of an eternal life of joy and happiness. What do you think?

I'm not talking about a temporary fix. I'm talking about no turmoil inside yourself.

I'm not talking about all Christians obviously, just the homophobic ones.

(Wikipedia)
The word homophobia means fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals. It can also mean hatred of and disparagement of homosexual people, their lifestyles, their sexual behaviors, or cultures, and is generally used to assert bigotry.[1] Opposition to same-sex activism on religious, moral, or political grounds may also be pejoratively referred to as homophobia

Is it possible to be a good Christian bloke these days? Why are Christian men portrayed as "Ned Flanders" types or paedophiles?! In this world of sex, drink and just about any-other-type-of-hedonism you want - can Christian men still be solid, strong and -above all - true to Christ? I'm trying - but it's tough going!!

Maybe you're just threatened by it because it's a TRUE compromise.

look at verse 5

1 timothy 6 =
3If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

The Creationists hate me for suggesting God Designed mankind to evolve and the Evolutionists hate me for suggesting there is a Creator.

Intelligent Design is supposed to be embraced by both sides, why does neither side want anything to do with it?

Modern science has identified specific mechanisms by which ordered systems having all the appearance of intelligent design can emerge from disordered systems. Four such mechanisms are gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. These forces, acting separately or together, cause particles to clump together and take up specific arrangement in space, resulting in ordered systems, both living and non-living. Eventually, life, a self-replicating ordered system, emerged. Later, intelligent life, a living, self-aware ordered system in the form of the human brain packaged in a support system called the human body, appeared.
Chemists have long known that matter possesses an inherent capacity for self-organization and that many non-living physical and chemical systems have the capacity to bring order from chaos. This capacity is known as self-organization. It can be seen in the formation of substances all the way from the simple water molecule to the com

I have been in some heated arguements with people over social and spiritual issues, and I realized recently that it is pointless. People dont change based on arguements do they? Ask youself if you have ever said...you know that person is right and then told them. That takes alot of humility anyway. So then I ask myself, are we arguing because we are convincing ourself they we are correct in our view? What other reason is there?

This quote comes from Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten in the last performance they had with him. It stays in my mind as a great question for the spritual/religion crowd. I ask myself.. have I been cheated? Is this life...totally pointless....I could go on..but I wont.

I mean, we observe 9 of the Ten Commandments but most Christians do not observe the Sabbath. We observe some of the other laws, like not having sexual relations with others of the same gender, and not having relations with animals or relatives. There are many others as well that we observe. But why do we pick and choose which ones are most convenient for us? Most Christians eat pork, shellfish, and other forbidden foods and never think twice about it.
Of course the sacrificial regulations were done away with because of Jesus's death. But what about the laws that have nothing to do with sacrifice? What about the Holy days we've replaced with pagan holidays?
So somebody who knows please tell me why we pick which laws we're going to obey, and forget about the ones that don't suit us or our lifestyles? And we DO still obey some laws, or else we'd all run around killing and raping all the time! If it's only because these things are illegal, why should they be if God approves them now?
