Why are people so uppity about 9/11, I mean, 3000 people died, that's an awfully low number...now before you cry at me, let me explain.

In America's retaliation, 90,000 Iraqis and 70,000 Afghans died, all were civillians too.

Why did America kill a total of about 160,000 people for the deaths of only 3000 Americans. Is this EYE for an EYE or EYE for 10 EYES?

Why do Americans grief so much about 9/11, when 10-fold that number died? Did you know that America's initial attack on Baghdad killed 34,000 Iraqi children? Is that justifiable, EVER??

Same goes for the Tsunamis.

300,000 people died in the December 2004 Tsunamis, of which 250,000 of those casualties were Muslim Indonesians. Not much grief, and even less coverage, that's 300,000 people, its like a small nation was wiped out!!

But, Katrina comes around, only 1000 Americans died, only a modest number, and the ENTIRE World goes up in Arms!

Why is Muslim, or more so, non-Western blood so Cheap?

I reply with silence. Sometimes they repeat it, as if I'm obligated to cater to their superstition. Why do they assume every one has their superstitions?

What would you think if the next time you sneezed somebody said
"God LESS you" or "God is just pretend"

I'm thinking about replying with "pretend can be fun" the next time somebody tells me "god bless you".

These atheists on yahoo are not criminals. It isnt a criminal offense to NOT believe in God. Its rather a trajedy. Many are victims of great disappointments...many are victims of their own reasoning and the deceptive tricks of false teachers. Many blame the " churches hypocrisy " for their unbelief. Lets pray they can forgive us as He has. They are not criminals but victims...casualties of lifes painful tymez.Do you know that scripture says we Christians act out unbelief when we sin as if there is no God ? We are all in a big playground and they are just having a tough tyme. Remember how we would as kids say, " my Dad can do this and this...Hes so strong...etc. " and the other ones would yell in unbelief, " noooooo...ur lying ! Thats not true ! ".We are still doing that as adults. I find many atheists downright enchanting. ( some are rather stunningly good looking to..lol ) We should love and tolerate each other and protect each other..believer or not...Amen

Because the day for justice is coming and all the minorities that have been robbed raped murdered endured unspeakable hardships spat upon hung insulted inslaved by domant europeans will get justice at the hands of god. thats why they call it judgement day so were you a loving person to others or did you have hate in your heart that is the desiding factor.
You still have time to fix your offences you inflicted on others if it comes from your heart and not to avoid your destiny.

It seems to me that the best approach is to remain calm and polite as much as possible and to know the Qu'ran as well as possible. Any sign of anger or any attack would be used against Muslims. I would like your views and please try to disregard any potentially rude comment. There are nothing more than air and mostly around to hurt or simply posted in sheer ignorance or because it's fashionable.

I used to know a site where there was a list of all the signs that the end of the world is coming but I lost it. It had like all the events that occurred at biblical times and are happening again. Don't send me any Nostradamus ones, I want one that is christian or theology based.

Can you send me some links?

Thanks

This is for personal purposes so in other words is not your business and I don't need your opinion.



BANG BANG you atheists go away. BANG BANG.

Let's see... if population increases, the demands increases...if the demand increases, then the rich class rises the prices...the poor have to work more and make more children... the rich make children to insure their richness... the church get its tither and money for more baptismals, weddings and funerals, thus "be fruitful and multiply"... so... who needs population increase? Chinese communists? to have more soldiers?... Can you give me some reasons why population should increase and until when?

One Place to Never Say 'Thank You, Jesus'
Go ahead and thank the good Lord, but if you're in a courtroom, you might want to do it silently. Junior Stowers of Honolulu, Hawaii, learned that lesson the hard way when he raised his hands and exclaimed, "Thank you, Jesus!" when he learned a jury had found him not guilty of abusing his 15-year-old son, specifically hitting him with a broomstick last January. But after that outburst, Circuit Judge Patrick Border held him contempt of court and threw him in jail, reports The Associated Press.
Stowers remained in the cellblock for six hours until the judge scheduled a hearing on the contempt charge, which is a misdemeanor carrying up to 30 days in jail. Later at that hearing, the charge was dropped, but his attorney insists her client was not treated fairly. "I don't think there's anything about saying 'Thank you, Jesus' that rises to the level of contemptuous behavior in this case," Deputy Public Defender Susan Arnett told The Honolulu Advertiser. Stowers, 47, is a devoutly religious man who is active in his Assembly of God church.
The judge said the only reason he dropped the contempt charge is because he learned Stowers attorney did not have time to tell him to display emotion when the verdict was announced.

Okay most Christians believe that the end times will eventually come and they will go to heaven. Pagans like myself believe that one day we will no longer have to reincarnate but in the mean time we still have to live here so instead of waiting for the end times or an end to our reincarnation cycle what can we do to improve the quality of life here on Earth?

Mathew 13:13 "You will be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved."
Corinthians 1:25 "For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength."
Corinthians 1:18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

In our society Christianity is looked on as "foolishness" and against the world's "wisdom". What can or how should we approach our unbelieving friends??

i am a child of the 21st century and why should i follow a primitive violant cult like islam?

CNN talked about how two missiles were fired onto Hifa and how 8 people were killed...yet Israel fired HUNDREDS of missiles and bombs, killed HUNDREDS of civilians, and their deaths are seen as nothing on the American news.

deaths are regrettable on both sides, but why is the American news so biased? Face it, Israel wasn't firing all these bombs and killing all these innocent people to free their two soldiers. Their not defending their country, their just killing innocent people. Lebanon is basically wiped out. They took it too far and yet they aren't seen as terrorists. Baffels my mind I tell ya.
