In Matthew 27:3-5, Judas felt guilt over the betrayal of Jesus and tried to return the money. He said he turned over an innocent man, but the preists did not care. He threw the coins in the temple and then hanged himself. When did he have time to write a book?

Is it the 99th time today that somebody asks the question 'If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?'

Or is it the fact that everytime there are people who answer that same question with 'Good question! I wanna know that too'.

Or is it the fact that the asker even picks that answer as a best answer.

Which is more scary?

My daughter works in ER At a hospital as a receptionist, her job is to take information from people that comes to ER, She signs them in take their insurance information & ask the patients name. The other day a Muslim man & his wife came in, of course his wife was not allow to talk, & the muslim man refuse to talk to my daughter, saying that woman is lower than dogs, he became very hateful. My daughter said you Will talk to me, he says no, I want to talk to a man, So my daughter called a man, the hospital sercurity, He told the Muslim man the same thing My daughter said, This is America & if you want to live here you will abide by our laws, My daughter said I have the freedom of speech, to vote, & to do whatever she wants to as long as it is by the laws of USA. Yes you guess it, he finally gave my daughter the information she needed to treat his wife. Is this the way all muslims are, if so, then go back to you own homeland. This is USA.

Think about it..In the poorest sections of any city there are more churches than anything else. Huge churches, million dollar churches sometimes. The dependance of the black civil rights movement on the church has been very documented. But know, with people like Sharpton and Jackson, do you think its time for the black rights movement to separate church and state?

**has been recieved from several pagan forums. I'm just passing it along**

All practitioners of Earth religions, Wicca, Shamanism, Druidry etc, are being encouraged to wear a purple ribbon as a way of promoting religious tolerance and to potentially raise awareness: On Sept. 21st to 22nd all Witches are going to wear little purple ribbons so everyone will know Who Else is a witch/wiccan/pagan. But no one can do this if they don't know about it, so pass the word along! This message goes to all Witches, Wiccans, Pagans from all sorts of traditions.

We can make a day for Ourselves!! Actually, two days!!! You can buy a purple ribbon anywhere, Dollar store, wal-mart, shoppers drug mart, anywhere...Wear it in your Hair, or pin it up to your shirt. Make it public!!!

Will you participate?

Hi!

This is for all my fellow "WOTM" fans, who know and use the 10 Commandments as a biblical way to witness, the way our Lord did.

I would like to know...what are the signs of a false Christian convert? According to Ray Comfort, there are six. He did a teaching on this on "Word Pictures" (for those who are familiar with this program), which I recorded recently, but accidentally erased. It'll probably be awhile before the program loops around to that particular episode, and since I am unable to listen to Mr. Comfort's teaching on this subject, if someone knows the answer according to his teaching, I would greatly appreiciate knowing.

Thanks!

It is certainly neccessary. I know plenty of atheists who do just as good if not better work than theists. So why does your congregation force the issue of charity upon you. I am willing to guess that it's to make them feel a little bit better about lying to you.

If a child were to come after an adult with deadly intent (with a knife) and the Adult had a gun, he already tried to reason with the child to put the knife down, he tried to get the knife away from the child and got stabbed in the leg for his trouble. Now the adult is losing blood and the child is comming in to stab him again. Should he shoot?

I can live a good life and be kind. I can help people, give to charity, help the homeless, etc - generally try to make the world a better place.

Why oh why do the people here tell me I'll go to hell if I don't accept Jesus as my saviour? How do you people come to believe so strongly when there is no evidence at all? Yes there are scripture, but everyone knows those are written by man.

I'm not just talking christians here, but all over the world there are people using religion as an excuse to commit violence, to opress and to curtail free thinking and learning. Why do humans feel the need to do that to each other and where's it all heading?

So if Jesus rose himself, was Jesus like self rising like bread? That why we eat bread to remember him. Finally, I am understanding Christianity!

Was Jesus like wine .............to much gets you messed up and makes you babble? So we drink wine to remember him.

If a couple had a verbal argument about bills. and the Wife slaps the husband. The husband gets angry enough over this to Slap the wife back. Since he is stronger by far physically. He ends up leaving a bruise on his wife's cheek. Is the husband at fault for this altercation? should he be thrown in jail for it? is the wife culpable in anyway for this happening?

Scientology was created by a science fiction writer who was going broke and he once said that a way to make a million $s was to make a religeon... so i ask SCIENTOLOGISTS... how can you believe in Xenu, DC10 look-a-likes, soul catchers, thetans, etc. Honestly? How? Its so obviously made up.

The waterstrider is an insect that walks on water. Studies show that the water resistance of the legs of the waterstrider is due to the special hierarchical structure of the legs, which are covered by large numbers of oriented tiny hairs with fine nanogrooves.

That made me wonder if Jesus maybe had really hairy legs.

I was really surprised by alot of christians when you said that you don;t follow the 10 commandments...
I'm not a christian but well all of what it says implies to what people in my religion believe and how they act (Except for the Sabbath day one).
And well nothing is impossible it all depends on whether you want to follow it or not....
AND for those who say that God will forgive them ....
like commandment number 2 says God punishes those who sin and loves those who follow the commandments ......how do u expect to be forgiven when u dont even follow???

another thing:
Commandment No.1: You shall have no other gods before me.
That means there is no other God but me.
There is only ONE God.....
Strictly the 1st commandment.......so why in the world would you call Jesus god????
