I have sat here and asked questions many times , and observed something that happens here
which I am sure happens all over the world
when someone tries to heal differences with people ( Christian , Muslim etc )
they are met with a he said , she said type answer
most of this goes back hundreds of years
attrocities happening just now are the results of stuff that goes back hundreds of years
will you be one of the ones to end this viscious circle ?
will you let by gones be by gones and start from today ?
will you extend your hand to others without any preconcieved thoughts about their past or the past history of their religion/beliefs ?
why can't we be the generation who makes this happen ?

I'm just moved to a new town and interested in attending a UCC. I don't have a history of going to church (even when I was little - our family didn't go) so I don't know the etiquette. Do I need to call first to tell someone I'd like to come and check the service out?

Many Fundamentalists say this about Catholics.

Many Catholics say this about Protestants.

Many Evangelicals say this about Mormons.

Rev. Fred Phelps says this about everyone else.

Etc., etc., etc.

What do you think is going to run through your mind when you realize that you are going to hell, to burn forever, in all-encompassing agony? What would your first thought be? Serious answers please, anything sarcastic will be ignored.

I posted a previous question about this, and everyone who responded, stated that the Jester or Fool, are not of the occult, Pagan, or against Christian beliefs. In fact, one person went so far as to say it originated from Christianity.

Despite the above, I disagree! The Encyclopedia Britannica states the Jester used "mockery" to poke fun of those in authority, was often kept for "good luck" as many believed their deformed appearance kept evil away and turned bad "luck" from the abuser to the abused, and Wikipedia.org says Jesters "were thought of as special cases whom God had touched with a childlike madness—a gift, or perhaps a curse".

Also, the Fool, played a part in religious rituals, and was regarded as having prophetic or poetic "powers".

Despite majority opinion, do any other Christians believe this symbol is non-Christian? Seems to fall under the Pagan category to me.

here's an oldy but goody from me....

Why is it that the universe, our galaxy, our Solar System and the Earth-Moon double planet system demonstrate some remarkable evidence of intelligent design. Taken separately, each characteristic is highly improbable by random chance. When taken together, the probability is so small as to be impossible - by random chance. The alternative explanation, design by an intelligent Creator is a more realistic explanation. Either way, one must admit that we are a product of a miracle - either a miracle of chance or a miracle of design. Don't get me started on our galaxy - co-rotation radius.

I just finished doing some work for this guy and he was telling me his childrens names; Alinta, T.Y....I've forgotten what the others were, but they definitely weren't Johnny, Susie or Katie or anything like that. And I'm not criticizing it, I just thought it might be something that Mormons do.

or was it all done for all time? Is God out cheating on us, creating new and less flawed people to love him? Do you think god has now made a human race v2.0 somewhere else and has abandoned his old toys?

R&S is just simply worn out. It should be something more interesting. How about Sheep and Apes Category? BA for the best name.

I mean, they deny 2 of them constantly:
you shall have no other gods before me. (jesus is NOT God)

. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (all those cheesy pictures of "Jesus" and Mary)

of the anti-christ? I'm Christian, and do not.
But let's say it happens, we're suggested to wear something of the sort. I fear more of the privacy issues than anything else. Thoughts?
