The Lords Prayer :
Matthew 6:10-14 This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Luke 11:2-4 He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’ ”

In order to have world peace there has to be no sin in the world, thus you need Jesus Christ. People try to live their lives and try to be "good people" but they can sin on the side. It is impossible to build a perfect society by following the evil carnal side of people.

Religion is an ongoing evolving horror story for children, caused by, and promoted by, religious preachers, teachers and parents. The trouble that religion causes for children is outrageous, but then, God allowed little children slaughtered (Isaiah 13:15-18 according to the Bible) so perhaps religious people think it’s ok for them to abuse children.

Religious Preachers sexually abuse young children nowadays, especially little boys.

Religious Teachers are seeking permission to bypass the law so they can beat students in school because the Bible says "We ought to serve God rather than men".

Religious Parents allow their kids to read the Bible, yet the Bible contains some of the worst hatred, violence, killing, and murders ever witnessed in Humanity.

Religion today is such a disgrace and a sad reflection on humanity, surely there must be a way to convince our children to walk away from this man-made nonsense and look for a better way.

Children - "Say no to Religion"

Do you feel most people are or are not religious because of their parents? It seems to me that those that are strict christians, muslims, mormons, etc. are that way because of upbrining. How many of you are not in that situation?

Harvard Professor, Samuel Huntington in 1993 predicted the turmoil we see today in his piece "Clash of Civilizations" http://www.alamut.com/subj/economics/misc/clash.html

Anyone who has spent time serious time studying Islam knows the immense hatred Muslims have for western culture. Huntington understood this long ago. Unfortunately, while much of the world is able to get some exposure to American culture, Islamic culture is hidden in the shadows.

How do these culture compare?

Civil Rights: Islamic Countries basically have none, not in the broad western sense of the term.

Transparency: Muslims murder and threaten to murder western reporters for pieces they dont like...imagine being a journalist for a state run Islamic paper. No public access to government documents.

Society: Islamic Countries have the highest incest (due to the unnatural separation of sexes), illiteracy, and inter-family marriage rates in the world. Slavery persists. Honor killings persist.

If you think the middle east and the muslims are just a bunch of crazy warmongering savages then wouldn't you agree that it would have been a good idea never to meddle in their lives in the first place? I mean don't you find it more than a coincidence that they were very quite until after the west made a presence their? If you think they are so crazy don't you think they were best left alone?

The Mother of all Terrorists

For those of you who want "FACTS" and "FIGURES" and have the intellect to judge 'GOOD' from 'EVIL' and the courage to know and say out the TRUTH....for the rest you should stop here!

Ever since the United States Army massacred 300 Lakotas in 1890, American forces have intervened elsewhere around the globe 100 times. Indeed the United States has sent troops abroad or militarily struck other countries' territory 216 times since independence from Britain. Since 1945 the United States has intervened in more than 20 countries throughout the world.

Since World War II, the United States actually dropped BOMBS ON 23 COUNTRIES. These include: China 1945-46, Korea 1950-53, China 1950-53, Guatemala 1954, Indonesia 1958, Cuba 1959-60, Guatemala 1960, Congo 1964, Peru 1965, Laos 1964-73, Vietnam 1961-73, Cambodia 1969-70, Guatemala 1967-69, Grenada 1983, Lebanon 1984, Libya 1986, El Salvador 1980s, Nicaragua 1980s, Panama 1989,

do you think that G-d was mistaken for choosing Jews as His Chosen People? You think that He is that indecisive? And He can see in the future, so don't say that He didn't know that Jews were going to reject Je sus.

If I ask a Hindu, they will tell me that their gods are real the the Christian god is not. They believe just as strongly that they are right. A Muslim has his own holy book, the Koran, that he believes is the truth just as a Christian believe the bible is the truth. There are so many religions in the world, with so many people absolutly convinced that they have the right one. What makes Christianity the "right" religion?

Why do so many of you idolize my Mexican Gardener? Just because his name is Jesus is no reason to worship him. Even I know that. But half of you nutbags get all up in arms when I tell you that he has a gardening issue and then tell me Im going to hell for trying to help him. Even if he did have the power to send me to hell he wouldnt cause I just bought him a brand new John Deere.

Are you having issues distinguishing your Jesus Christ to my Jesus Chirsto? Come on - my gardener is 5 feet tall, has a molestache, is all sweaty and dosent speak english. You cant serriously expect us to believe that you "know your god" when you couldnt pick him out of a lineup full of mexican gardeners.

I told a Pastor this and he got mad. He called me sinful, and blasphemous. I understand Why?, but i have always given him credit for his teaching and peaceful message. Christianity changed alot of lives. But Why judge me with such words? Why do Christians jump to such extremes when someone states and opinion on their religion??

There are the laws of gravity that some of you might know about from high school, but there are enough anomalies and inconsistencies to relegate what we call gravity to the status of “theory”. Earlier this week, some scientists found direct evidence of something called Dark Matter, which partially explains a major inconsistency in gravity, that being the movement of galaxies. You see, we couldn't measure enough mass in any of the visible galaxies to account for their gravitational effects. But now with the discovery of dark matter, we’re closer to understanding why galaxies behave the way they do. But dark matter still doesn’t account for everything, so we think there might be something called dark energy as well. But we have no proof. Hence, gravity is still a theory.

Remember that the next time you say something is “Just a theory”

What makes christians, jews, muslims, and other faiths believe that their God is THE GOD?

Why would a reasonable God make his presence known to a select group, giving this group an excuse destroy and conquer everyother civilization in the name of salvation?
