and where do they get this information from?
Everyone knows home made wine and alcohol is much stronger. Why do some of the Christians insist that by "wine" they meant "grape juice"?
All you have to do is extract juice from a grape to make juice, but WINE is a process, I'm sure the bible writers knew the difference between juice and wine--which is a beverage that had to undergo a process of fermentation.
So why have the Christian monks for hundreds of years been getting drunk off their home made wine recipes, just as they did in the biblical days?

HE's So Vain he will burn you for not seeing things his way-he is so self-centered he will bring harm to those that love you and make them suffer for he admits he is a JEALOUS god! You serve him then and all your self-righteous self centered ambitions that you justify by his word-I will serve you untolds amount of remorse and bitter propensities because of what I feel are Gods Vituperate qualities-only I do so in hopes that you will go to your heaven but at least leave mother earth the beauty she was prior to CHRISTIANITY AND RELIGIONS!

Do you think God ever laughs? Better yet, do you think God ever laughs at himself?

Let's say for instance a theist with a sense of humor makes a God joke. God knows that this person is devout and is making the joke as one would about a family member or close friend. Would he laugh?

I have these missionaries that keep coming to my house. We've asked them to stop coming, but they still show up once a week and ask if they can come in and talk. It takes 20 minutes just to get them to let me shut the door. I'm not big on just closing the door in anyone's face, but these guys are beginning to **** me off. What can I do to get it through their heads that we are not interested?

Theism has been wounded very badly by scientific discoveries so much so it isn't going to survive for much longer just look at the rising number of atheists. Theism is almost dead all it will take is one last good strong strike and it will be gone. Don't you think that it would be better to put it out of its misery now than letting it suffer any longer? Every time you try to disprove established fact you just prolong the agony for theism. It's dead let go of the past and move on. Atheism is the future where things are proven with facts not storeys and lies. Say no to jesus http://www.saynotojesus.tk

It seems that we have conquered most if not all the known mysteries. If you don't think so, well some knowledge is best kept hidden from those who lack responsibility. Which leads me to this mystery yet to be discovered------
What person, place or idea has prohibted you from understanding your true essence of being a creator. We are infintely capable of doing anything our minds are capable of understanding.
To those who feel they have not sold out I tell you this----What is the next step. Do you want to be surrounded by like minds? Where are they? It will only help you. Do not alienate yourself, people are looking for you.
Anyways have fun guys. Go learn something or have an adventure. What is being accomplished being glued to this computer chair.
I still want an answer--What mysteries are there left to discover for you?

My mother and I just had an interesting conversation. Not once ,but twice on a religious tv program she heard the father and then his son say Adam was not the father of Cain. They both said to look it up in Genesis and that would give us proof. They both claim satan was Cain's father. Now I'm not sure what Bible they are reading from, but my Bible says nothing to that affect. What do my fellow christians think about this. Maybe my mom and I are missing something, but I don't think so. I appreciate your opinion on this . God bless you all. This tv program is called "Sheppherd's Chapel".

Willys cynical thought for the fugging day;

Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone somewhere may be freaking happy!

A guy with a huge prick has a lot of trouble trying to get a girl. When they see the size of his pecker they make their excuses and leave. So he thinks of a cunning plan, meets a hooker and asks her, "Do you mind if we do it my way?"

"What way is that?" she asks.

"Oh, I would just like you to wear a blindfold" he replies.

"Is that all? No problem - let's go to my place," she answers.

They walk the short distance to her apartment. Whilst taking off their clothes he puts the blindfold on her.

"Why do you want me to wear a blindfold?" she asks.

"Because of my religion" he answers.

"What religion is that?" she asks.

"I'm an agnostic," he says, getting on top of her.

"Hmmm - an agnostic - I've heard of those - you're one of those people who doesn't believe in.....J E S U S C H R I S T!" BWAAAAA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Christians have no proof of heaven or hell, Atheists have no proof that we go no where, and no one else has any proof of any legit afterlife so why is everyone claiming that theirs is real???? Keep in mind that those who died on the operating table could just be having some kind of hallucination that might only have occured for a few seconds after they're revived. I know its OK to have a little blind faith, (whether convinced there is or is not a place we go when we die). I know I do, the only thing is some religions take it to the extremes!! Its so incredibly childish to judge people and tell them they are or are not going to a certain place WHEN WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!!!!!!!! When is civilization going to grow up and agree to just wait and see what happens? Note: I am not just targeting christians here but every single person who bases their opinions of other people based on where they "know" they are going.

It is the Broodwich, forged in darkness from wheat harvested in Hell's half-acre, baked by Beelzebub, slathered with mayonaise beaten from the evil eggs of dark chicken forces into sauce by the hands of a one-eyed madman, cheese boiled from the rancid teat of a fanged cow, layered with six-hundred and sixty-six separate meats from an animal which has maggots for blood!

why do religious people still hold on to their security blanket, even after science has proved most of it wrong and is working on proving the rest wrong. it's ok little ones, you can come out from your hidey holes now, theres no big red guy underneath us torturing "souls".religion is a complete insult to the intellect of the human race as a whole. i mean, i can understand to an extent, if someone offered me everlasting life in paradise i'd like to believe them too, but it's simply a childish idea. sorry people, i know you all think you are entitled to your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for your hard lives, and that it takes the pain away to think your loved ones are safe and happy even in death, but the truth is that science is proving how things really work and how they were created and it's simply not going your way, WHATSOEVER. it's completely selfish, religion wouldn't have half the followers if it weren't for its lavish rewards program. stop embarassing the human race.

I was clocking out from work, and politely said goodbye to my boss. He said, "You can have tommorow off, get some rest." I repressed the urge to speak. But my thoughts were red and hot, 'Give me nothing, God gave me the day off, not you! In fact, He gave me twenty four hours a day, and I sell eight to you...and I wouldn't do that, except for the curse..."

So did the company give me the day off, or God? Or was it mine to begin with?
