Okay, obviously it wasn't Satan as I'm told that's Hebrew (or a romanisation of the hebrew word) for enemy. It's not Lucifer either as that's Latin for Light-bringer and didn't get associated with Satan 'til the middle ages.

Can anyone help here?

It's my understanding that God's angels are called cherubim, and the Devil's angels are called demons. Is this true?

"Be very careful if you make a woman
cry, because God counts her tears. The woman
came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be
walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but
from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be
protected, and next to the heart to be loved."
- Talmud -

I believe this is a great example of the metaphorical significance of many of the bibles stories...

I believe in the literal word of genesis but I'm having some concerns about the children of Adam and Eve because they must have committed incest to have more babies. Otherwise the human race would have died out! Can anyone explain it to me?

I'm anti-theist, have no family, and wouldn't expect any friends to be interested. Assuming I still have some bodily remains, I want them used for medical research/catfood & not insulted by a "service". How does one arrange that ?

Media censorship: A conspiracy ?

The truth comes in many colors and is often a double edged sword, nothing is perfect and under scrutiny, the blemishes of truths are visible.

Having said that is there a media conspiracy to cover-up, deny or ignore some important realities that are important to Canadians; I think so.

Back in 1987, following many complaints from people in the area concerning the 'Children's Aid Society' I ventured to a couple of their workshops on 'child abuse', and was struck by a blatant anti-family agenda. A half-truth, a truth that lies. Anti-family because it was all about division of the family.

So it became obvious that a hidden agenda, a cult feminist ideology had corrupted social theory. Now don't be alarmed anything can be corrupted look at the Catholic Church, and the pedofiles that used the Church to gain access to little boys, and girls. The medical system has been corrupted by those who seek to profit from their own selfish financial gain. So that problem is one of a conflict of interests, between individuals and the greater good of society in general; can happen in any system.

The corrupted model, (a corrupt theory brainwashed unto social workers) was that child abuse was 'men who abuse, women and children victims'. This obviously bigoted and biased model would in my opinion lead to many problems down the road, including the growth of children who would abuse their parents, their families and society in general. It appears child abuse was never seen as children who abuse other children, and themselves.

I believe this is now history and Canada has again been corrupted by another half-truth model, "Stop violence against women', that should be about stopping the abuse of women, men and children.

Again the use of a deceptive half-truth. Well in 1995 it was suggested that perhaps the real problem was that most of us did not know what a half-truth was, for there are many types that are unknown to the general population and have only recently been exposed on sites like www.wikepedia.com.

But the real question remains why have the media not exposed this corruption in social services by cult feminists, and some cult-lesbian feminists who have preyed on vulnerable women. (source. G. Landolt-Real Women of Canada)

Why given that this information was given, faxed to Canada's major news and media vehicles has this been left unexposed ?

I came across a copy of a fax that sent out January 11, 1995 and this 'corruption' of the Childrens Aid Society was exposed. Yet on Canada's major TV networks and newsnetworks, this concept of 'predators' within the Children's Aid Society has been silenced by whom ? and for what reasons ?

As the slogan goes, it is time to break the silence on this very, very corrupt philosophical agenda within social problems that is more about the financial gain derived from social problems than correcting and preventing them.

Pity...truth again has been betrayed for a handful of silver !

I just Looked at a Non-Christian Site where this Woman said that "when a Person sends out Negative Energy, they open themselves up for attack--Negative Energy comes Back to them--sometimes they don't Realize this and Stay in the Loop a Long Time.
What, in your Opinion is Negative Energy?
How do you Send it Out?
(I have my own Ideas based on the Bible). Thanks and May GOD Bless EVERBODY in the Name of Jesus.
(That outta do it!) Thank you GOD.

Quran 9:05 YUSUFALI: "...fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)"

This is a follow up on my question from yesterday in which several Muslims furiously claimed that I cited 9:05 in the Quran "out of context"
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?link=best&qid=20061030201845AApzinT&r=w&pa=F5xxBXHpPmKSlmhy00sKl4WlXPS0sL9BHdIIBhw9lPCxxDdqGd7WPyBytdcRxT5DAGq51257RCFwa5SSVLa7_Q--

Dont you love it when people resort to the tired "its out of context man!". Its a pat response for everything..."out of context!!!".

Ask yourself what possible "good context" there could be and what possible good purpose could this verse have?

First, nowhere in this chapter (Surah) does it ever lead anyone to believe that murdering pagans for sport, was only for Muhammad's day, and not today. But even if it did make some temporal reference, dont you stil get the same gist, that pagans should be killed!

As many times as I read this, I don't get it. I find it very poetic at times. Who are what is the duaghter of Zion? Isn't Zion a city? What about the walls of the daughter of Zion? It also speaks of the virgin daughter of Jeruselum.. There has to be someone out there smarter than I am..
Someone more studied than me?

Why is it that christians compare sexual content to religious content by saying that why should religious content not be in public and sexual contents can? What do you think why? Because everyone has sex and not everyone believe in your religious garbage. So why is it that christians say that? For example if theres a religious billboard and it gets taken down, they all complain that why is that taken down and sexual billboards arent, what do they think why not because everyone is interested sex and some people like me dont wanna see jesus promotional garbage or any other garbage they wanna come up with
