2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all of our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

He cares about you...did you know that?

I love reading apologetics for Islamic war. People so ignorant they respond with stuff like "Islam is ___", as if they are the caliph (emperor of Islam) and the only Muslim and thus the only one who can define his religion.

I dont know why people dont get this, but most dont, Muslim and Non-Muslim alike. Let me try to explain this again.

Religions have their "sects". A sect is a larger grouping of people with such a difference view about the religion as a whole, they are labeled differently, such as Sufi, Sunni or Shia.

Even withing sects, no two people precisely agree on what Islam really is or how it is really applied. This of course is true for other religions.

So, when an ignorant apologist starts with "look buddy, Islam is not that, Islam is ___" you already know your dealing with an ignorant person.

What matters to non-believers is not whether 'some muslims' believe in a peaceful version, what really matters is how many dont! Islam is what it does. Period.

heres the spells

SPELL TO SPEED UP TIME...
Draw a Pentacle on your left hand using a blessed red pen. Visualize a sand
clock as you draw.
Now Put your left hand on your forehead, or third eye, and say:
SANDS OF TIME SHOW ME THY WAY
TURN THE NIGHTS INTO DAYS
ROSE PETALS SO LIGHT AND GRACE
SPEED UP TIME NOW, IN THIS PLACE
The spell will last for 24 hours or until the pentacle is erased, naturally
or washed, so don't try to get sweaty hands.
***********************************************************************
TO SPEED DOWN TIME...
Do the same you did in the other one but with a blue pen and in right hand,
also do the visualization but with the sands falling slower, say:
CORE GO ROUND
POWER BE BOUND
INTERUPT THE NATURE'S COURSE
TIME SLOW DOWN
CAST THE SPELL SAIDTH THIS WORDS

but i dont know how to bless the pens and does anyone knows if it works?

When it comes down to who will be saved and who will becondemed Religious Rightests automatically side with God-Jezus-Muhammed-Moses-whoever-and why? Because YOUR GOD IS A self admitted Jealous God (His Bad)-and to not see things his way means to burn & suffer torment-In America and by Our Justice system Your God and his prophets would be thrown into prison and by their actions do time-this based on the evidence that has been presented by Your Books of Law. Satan committed no crime-perhaps as a boy grows-up to be a man and must find his own way and yet is in need of FREEDOM from the rules he has been forced to live by while under the direction of a Higher Authority-I would Love to see the United States Supreme Court Try Your God for his actions as an oppressor and a dictator and an admitted murderer-2 burn anyone in Our Country would be grounds 2 prosecute the individual on grounds of felonious assault! 2 imprison somebody is also against THE LAW-King Jesus would be extradited GO USA!

He left an image in my house in his likeness.

Well, not exactly in my house, but in my underpants (technically they were in my house when I made the skidmark)

It looks like god. It even has 2 peanuts for eyes.

Im expecting 100,000 crazy christians over tonight to worship my poopie-stained-underpants but I just washed them and gods image is now mostly faded away.

What would Jesus do in this situation.

I hung on a cross for a few days and then got to ascend into Heaven, yet you have to spend an eternity burning in the firey depths of Hell. Who is really paying the price of sin?

Almost all armed conflicts today are Islamic. This is because the 1400 year old practice of Jihad, which has never ceased, has taken the spotlight again through the efficient vehicle of terror.

Jihad was the dominant force in the world during the 800 year reign of the Islamic empires. The duty of a Muslim to kill the kafir and spread Islam (Jihad) worked well while the sword was the dominant weapon.

However, with the rise of civlization, Jihad couldnt beat the higher technology of the Europeans and the Islamic Turks kept losing to the higher tech-Euros.

Islam always produced superior numbers and endless hords of brainwashed Jihadists but Islam also suffocated technological advance. So, it was only a couple hundred years ago that Jihad fell off the front page.

The technology or terror has put Jihad back on the map, and its here to stay as long as Islam is because Islam has always compelled Jihad.

In a world filled with corruption, sin, murder and theft. In a world where a country can invade and kill thousands of its people and the rest of the world be ok with it. In a world where the genocide of Rwanda happened, where children were beheaded by normal civilians and where the rest of world had no say in this. In a world where selfishness, boredom, hatred, apathy and carelessness for those who suffer is strong. In a world where politicians control the world, where people beleive all their lies, where peope reject all those who try to help them and love those who use them ( example, global warming is here and poloticians still refuse to beleive in it).
In a world like today, if you were God, would you cast a flood and rebuild society?

This is a problem for all us, because religions' irrational roots nurture intolerance to the point of murder according to Richard Dockins. Do you agree with his assessment of this post enlightenment age? Are we in danger of slipping back into a dark age?

I heard that they are now making the Bible in 2-ply like they did with the Koran so that you can read it on the toliet and afterwards use gods words to wipe your bum-bum!

Is that true?
