Being an earth-friendly enviromental, liberal, Catholic-I'm concerned about global warming, smog, pollution, and heavy traffic that clogs the roads of our great nation.

I think Jesus cares too. For the bible says we are the stewards of the earth.

WHAT WOULD JESUS DRIVE, if he were here today?

Many of us have different points of view about love, but really is love? A mutual feeling of love ...or is it maybe its all just tradition. Find some one and marry them !! what really is love?

If the rapture is A secret catching away then why does everybody know about it (The Big Lie). Is someone going to go to Hell for letting the cat out of the bag, usually A secret is suppose to be kept secret and no one knows about it but it seems everyone does know about the big lie they call the rapture.

This will probably be my last posting about this particular topic, but after thinking about it a long time last night, I realized that it all comes down to this:

Take a string, one that has no beginning or end. This will represent time. Now, put the Big bang on it. where does it go? there is no beginning. Let's just put in wherever you want. now, if the big bang created the universe, how is there so much string behind it? for the bang to come, there must have been something there to cause it, and since the line behind is infinite, it could not have at any point gradually happened in any way.

Now let's cut off what came before it, the big bang now made time itself. But wait... If it made time, how could it have just appeared? maybe it was in a partial timelike state, and simply pre existing forces from inexplanable dimension made it. We'll, we can just look at it and say that... something happened part by part... now we are back to the timeline, no matter how complex the forces.

Why would someone write such an awful thing? What did Steve Irwin do to bring the wrath of the Lord down on him?
I can see no reason why this gentle man who wanted nothing but to help the environment and for us all to understand animals better had to die at such a young age.
Especially when there are rapist, child killers, theives and murderers sitting on death row or better yet walking around doing their evil deeds be left alive.
How can someone make such a callus statement about someone they didn't even know on a personal level. Nothing he ever did seemed to me to warrant this kind of judgement.
Your thoughts on the statement?

Bible Sales

A minister concluded that his church was getting into serious
financial troubles.

While checking the church storeroom, he discovered several cartons of
new bibles that had never been opened and distributed. So at his
Sunday sermon he asked for three volunteers from the congregation who
would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise
the desperately needed money for the church.

Peter, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the
task. The minister knew that Peter and Paul earned their living as
salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles but he had
serious doubts about Louie. Louie was just a little local farmer, who
had always tended to keep to himself because he was embarrassed by his
speech impediment. Poor little Louis stuttered very badly. But, not
wanting to discourage poor Louis, the minister decided to let him try
anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars
stacked with bibles and asked them to meet with him and report the
results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister immediately
asked Peter, "Well, Peter, how did you make out selling our bibles
last week?"

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Peter replied, "using my
sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here's the $200 I
collected on behalf of the church."

"Fine job, Peter!" The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand.
"You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you."
Turning to Paul, he asked "And Paul, how many bibles did you manage to
sell for the church last week?"

Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, "I am a
professional salesman and was happy to give the church the benefit of
my sales expertise. Last week I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the
church, and here's $280 I collected."

The minister responded, "That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You are
truly a professional salesman and the church is also indebted to you."

Apprehensively, the minister turned to little Louie and said, "And
Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?"

Louie silently offered the minister a large envelope. The reverend
opened it and counted the contents. "What is this?" the minister
exclaimed. "Louie, there's $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you
sold 320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?

Louie just nodded.

That's impossible!" both Peter and Paul said in unison. "We are
professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many
bibles as we could."

"Yes, this does seem unlikely," the minister agreed. "I think you'd
better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie."

Louie shrugged "I-I-I- re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know f-f-f-for
sh-sh-sh-sure," he stammered.

Impatiently, Peter interrupted. "For crying out loud, Louie, just tell
us what you said to them when they answered the door!"

"A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was," Louis replied, "W-w-w-w-would
y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible
f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks ---o-o-o-or--- wo-wo-would yo-you
j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and
r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you?"

Raymond—the guy who’s wooing me now
Wayne—my second love
Andrew—my first love
I’ve had 4 steads

Last night, I dreamt of Raymond, Wayne and Andrew. At first, I was sitting next to Raymond on the bus listening to my MP3 player. I didn’t notice that he had his arm around my shoulder until I took back the earpiece from him. Then we got down the bus. When we were walking, Raymond disappear and Andrew took his place. He was walking ahead of me. Then I saw my ex classmate Eliza. I called out to her but she ignored me. Then when me and Andrew went to the mall, Andrew disappeared and Wayne took his place. Wayne wanted to hold my hand. When our fingertips touched, my heart told me that I didn’t want to hold Raymond’s hand, that it was going too fast so I quickly took my hand back and I woke up

bills in the offering basket. Her belief, it seems, is that our offerings become God's money once we put them in the collection plate. But I think all things ultimately belong to God. So the money is His when it's in our pockets and purses, when we get it from the ATMs and anywhere else, too.

Who agrees?

Why did God created us? If He is all powerful and all that there is and eternal, perfect, unimaginable. He should be contented with himself or self sufficient. He does not need us. Was is it some point in eternity that He got lonely, bored? Thats why He created the Angels. And that He got tired of them and created Us humans for a change. So that it would be something new or interesting? Sometimes everything doesnt makes sense at all. I feel so helpless in reality and there is nothing I can do but live my life here and wait what happens in life and in the afterlife. Just being there watching for eternity. Waiting what God will do next. make me, break me, change me, send me to the non-existent then make me again.over again like a loop forever. Is it all about God, me and other beings? is reality or existence all about "vanity, ego, pride, love/hate for God, love/hate for self and love/hate for others" for infinity. Or is there something else far beyond those mentioned?

Scientists say that it is the psychological energy of the people around the board that drives the planchette. Others say actual spirits are involved and that use of the board can cause harm. Have you ever had any bad experience with a Ouija board, and if so, what was it?

Religion seems to be more addictive and it's cheaper but both seem to have pretty much the same effect on people. Massive mood swings from the cloying lovey-doveyness and joy to hatred and ultra-violence, for example.

Which is best? Which deserves to be taxed more?

Obviously, you have chosen your religion for a reason (if you have one).

Is it simply because you were raised on your religion, and are afraid to leave it?
Or does your religion offer some practical usage in your life?
Did you compare your religion to the many others and determine it to be the best?
If so, using what criterea?

Do you TRULY have faith in your religion, or do you simply accept it's role in society and use it to "fit in" or something similar?
If you do truly believe, WHY?
What source have you recieved your religious information from? A holy book? A Holy man? Personal Experience?
How do you know you can trust that source?
