a story run in a local paper years ago,a man dressed in nothing but a white dirty robe,preaching to passerbys,he was dirty,but was not asking for money,he was taken to jail for being a vagrant.during the booking process,no one was able to locate a birth certificate,even a social security number for this man.he had no id,or even a wallet on him at the time.i have not been able to locate this article anywhere,not even at the local library.so my question is why some people feel better going to organized churches,even pay money to worship,i mean do you honestly think that "god" would show up in a three piece suit?or roll up in a limo?real question here..i mean what if?
the story was run in a local paper in dallas,texas,im not saying anything but what if.

I think it is to be religious is to follow a creed to be pious is to be very deep in that faith and holy is to be spiritual even if it isent about god? Many Pious people who feel that they are saints arent but many who feel that they are impious are truly holy? does that sound right?

I started to watch a movie with my brother. It was a true story. It was halfway through. There were two men left from a mountain-climbing expedition, and they were on their way back down. They were brothers. One was injured. It was likely that, if the uninjured brother helped the other, they would both die. The injured one wanted his brother to leave him behind. The uninjured one said that, for once in his life, he wanted to do something unselfish, and he refused to leave his injured brother. He also said that he was tired of dealing with the scum of the earth. I said to MY brother, "He's either a lawyer or a criminal." It turned out that he was a lawyer. His turnabout with regard to his behaviour is called redemption, I believe. What's your opinion?

Examples are the Jehovah's witness and 7th day adventist (correct me if i'm wrong).. what is your ideology behind this? As i have read in the bible, offering yourself for your brother's welfare, like donating blood or organs (to cite examples) is one of the greatest acts of love in the world. How can they not permit it in their sect?

Men of war have long known that warriors must often abandon those verities they defend. Peace, human kindness, love... for they hold no meaning to the enemy. And so, to win, do we become what we despise... and despise what we become

how do you refute what was written???
Jesus is God come down from heaven. This is the reason that the Jews killed Him; for saying that He was God.
Source:John 10:33, "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."

I mean all her serials go on a same track after sometime. It begins with a bang but after that its just nothing but absurdity. For e.g in this Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka the character Varsha Chachi had two daughters only and now suddenly from out of the blue her two children have emerged from London or USA (God Knows where) then the relationship of Kunal n Nimmo is highlighted in such an indecent manner now. I mean she could have easily made their relationship a positive one but I guess she is passionate about adultery and promiscuity. God knows from where does she gets all her ideas and from which institue have her writers come from. I know she is used to such bickerings and telling her something means breaking head on the wall but still I cant resist when I see absurdity in all her serials.

It is said that man is created in God’s image. But what happens when we alter that image? Is our reflection the only thing that changes
