My wife and I were sealed in the Albuquerque temple, and that is also where I received my own endowments. My sister and her husband were sealed in the Manti temple, so that gives it a special meaning to me.

#1- The rioting in London a few months ago was done by Muslim people. It started out reporting that way, but after a phone call was made, Fox started reporting it as " poor, impoverished workers".

#2- There is evidence of the Columbine shootings that a judge has put a 25 yr gag order on.

#3- There is a mountain of evidence not being released about the VT massacres.

Now, heres my theory.

I believe many if not all of the recent attacks have been related to Islam in one way or another. Lets look at VT.

Im not saying he is a Muslim, I actually dont think he was, but he was definately influenced in their ways. How?

#1- he made the video stating why we are condemned, just like terrorsist do.

#2- in that video, america's ways of life were condemned, just like terrosrist do. All of the middle east hates America's lifestyle, which im not proud of either.

#3- He cut his hair and cleaned up, just as terrorist do.

#4- axe ishmael is a common saying in Islam. In Islam, Abraham is reported to have taken an axe and broken all of the idols in that day. Islam also falsely teaches that the blessing comes thru Ishmael.

If you look at this poor souls actions, they line up with all Jihadist actions before they carry out their murders. I believe that the media, in the name of being politically correct, is ignoring or not giving us many facts. TRUE? Let me know.

Jeremiah 6:16 says...
16 This is what the LORD says:
Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' "

Why? Why when the very people who claim to be the chosen of God are provided with the necessary ingredients to convert their carnal mindset and religious practices into spiritual truths, they will almost always reject what has been given to them -- even when they pray for this knowledge each and every day of their lives?

Is it just because they have gay marriage in Jewish Palestine? Or because of all those gay-rights organizational meetings in church basements throughout the 1970's? Oh stop it will you just stop for the love of God will you just leave those poor people alone? i think you're all just so mean! Maybe it's all that junk food I don't know,but heavens when all you can think of to do is get drunk on cheap beer and drive around a city looking for gay guys to beat up,wearing those silly "religion sucks" t-shirts - icky! I think atheists suck! Plus,you're mean to gays.

Have you seen "28 Days Later", by Danny Boyle?
It tells the story of a deadly virus. Once someone catches the virus, he turns into a bloody monster.
In one scene, a daughter has to kill her father so she can survive.

What do you think? Survival of the fittest?

.. and since our current understanding of human mind is woefully inadequet are you, as a scientifically minded and enlightened individual, satisfied with the answers we have now from either science or religeon?.. im not knocking anyone here especially religeous beliefs but heres my point ::: couldnt spiritual traditions be accepted as a good starting point for researchers to look at what might be going on, not to accept religeon as a source for definitive answers, but accept some religeous beliefs as a starting point for developing hypotheses that we can possibly test ... examine various aspects of the consciousness to see if it functions independently of the physical brain, implying existance of an idependent spirit .. things like that ... i see alot of people totally debunk and throw out the window and refuse to even look at anything to do with religeous belief ..

What does the non-christians teach to their children to avoid teen pregnancy, STDs, low self-esteem? How do they teach their kids not to fight, or hit or spit or cuss? or to not do drugs or alcohol? or to not view their lives as something worth throwing away in suicide if it gets 'too tough'? How do they teach them that they dont have to 'do it' because MTV tells them its cool?

Or is it that the non-Christian thinks that none of that stuff is REALLY all THAT bad and if it all goes out the window when they turn 18, so be it?

Its not 'that bad' if your kid is glued to the internet and getting hit with porn spam? Its not THAT bad if your kid is watching cartoons that gets their mind thinking about kissing and dating when they are 5 yrs old? What about violent video games? Or experimental drug use in movies?

What is the non-believers answer to all that when it comes to your children? Go get counselling? Medicate?..what?

I feel arguing is pointless and all we are doing is what Jesus told us not to and that is like I said before we are just casting our pearls before the swine. I feel we should be encouraging other believer only.

Does that change anything?

When i'm reading someones question then they say that they are from a country like Ireland, then while i'm reading the rest of the question, my mind starts putting an Irish Accent on it ^_^

Same when i read a question from Australia, or Iraq.
Does that happen to you?

And why so? What scriptures back up your beliefs?

For myself I look to the future with hope. Revelation 21:3,4 - promises a beautiful future with no sickness and no death. Isaiah 33:24 - "No resident will say: "I am sick."" Sounds good to me.

I have faith that the Earth will always be here and be inhabited - 1 Chronicles 16:30; Psalm 37:29;

And that since it was God's will for man to live in peace and perfection on the earth, that in the future that's exactly what is going to happen. (Psalm 115:16)

Do you think the Laws of nature validate in some way that there must be a God somewhere?

When you take notice of the exactness in the order in our Solar system. The distance between the sun and our planet is perfectly align to harbor life. That if our Planet move or tilt closer to the sun we all would burn up. That if our planet moved away from its sun by a few knots we would freeze to death.

Could the exactness and preciseness and order have all happen by blind chance or did a God(Supernatural being) arrange the time and distance perfectly in our Solar system so that we can have life.

The Bible declares in Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth".

What are your thoughts on this question. Much feedback is welcome. In search of Truth.

Creation or Blind chance.

Did GOD command the believers to KILL women and children. All commandments are given to be obeyed and they are a way to get to heaven.

We really should do something. We could pass out free coffee and sandwiches,as long as they're just standing around r&s,apparently with no place atheist to go. We could chip in and buy them science kits so they can Scientifically Proove that stuff about the Primordial Soup. We could even offer to videotape these paranoid-fantasy scenarios where "Christians" both furtive and bold forcibly instruct them in their religion. Oh,isn't there something we can do! They suffer so!

For me personally. one story that I liked that happened to me...was ..I was praying as I headed off to a church that I have enjoyed going to...and I asked for some "guidance" as to what to say to my step-dad when his mom died...(he is a very sensitive person,and he loved his "mother" and I didn't want to say the wrong thing..and be in hot water!)Well, nothing happened in church..but, afterwards...this lady, whom I had never met..sat down during tea and coffee time.in one of the church rooms,..sat down and said in one breath "Some people just do not know what to say,when somebody's mother's died!" OH, MY GOSH! I was sooo stunned! I told her that either the angels sent her to me...and or they had spoken thru her! It was exactly what I needed to hear! I could not believe it! I was sooo stunned..I sat there,, saying to her..".You have no idea..I know.,.but, I think that you were sent to me...to tell me this!" I think I may have stunned her...but, she did have the info!
