It is told in the bible god did have a heaven full of countless sons. These were gods in their own rights. God and these son's were timeless. Did god have to much timelessness on it's mind, or was it lonely? God had allready writen the dystiny of these sons, so when god created the earth and the universe and man it had allready writen what the sons of god would do on earth and what they would do to humans. If god hadn't thought it they wouldn't have done it. Nothing is done without god thinking of it. God thought of the evil that man could do so god could think of the flood to kill all mankind. This god has way to much timelessness on it's mind. Or it is one sick puppy.

I mean US polotics. It's like poloticians are afraid of talking about or dicussing their faith, or beliefs. Why is this? ... and why does it matter so much?

As the Age of Aquarius advances,
The wicked will have to dissappear...
So as to leave the wise for world guidance.
It's all written in Indian prophecies..
Only a part of it has been acheived yet...

My faith is in the God who created all things as the Bible declares. Man did not evolve from a lower species. Science has finally admitted to that. For years we were taught in public schools that the Neanderthal people were crude, haunched over, bestial creatures and that modern man evolved from them.

Anthropologists were completely wrong. Human remains were found in 1856 in a cave in the Neander Valley. In 1956 respected evolutionary scientists reexamined the bones and concluded that the were people who suffered from severe skeletal malformation resulting from rickets and arthritis.

They determined that Neanderthals walked as upright as people walk today,dressed in modern clothes. Other evidence shows that Neanderthal people were intelligent, skillful, artistic people who had faith in God. They were true men. Homo sapiens.

The same for the Java man and the Peking man.

Simply put: These men were descendants of "ADAM". They did not evolve from a lower species. GOD.

1. What is your religion?
2. Do you hope for the safe return of the little girl that was kidnapped from an apartment while her parents were on vacation?


(I'm asking this because I think that no matter what religion you have, you will feel for this poor child. I just want to show that we all do have some things in common!) ;-)

I am going to be interviewed for a position I desperately want. A librarian! :) They have a lot of applicants and to even get an interview is a big deal. I was interviewed last year and didn't get a similar position.

My question is - what can I do to prepare? I really need to nail this. Thanks!

They say I have a good voice to sing. One lady even told me that she was guided by the Holy Spirit to tell me to go and sing, and that it was meant to be.

Please, I am not bragging here, and love to sing, however, the person that teaches the choir is very rude, and mean. I've seen it, otherwise I would join. I don't tell anyone this, as I stay quiet. Your thoughts, please.

If there is no God, why do we care whether we are good or bad? Who determines what is good and what is bad. Isn't it good if something feels good to do? Maybe we should all do what feels good. After all if there is no God or afterlife, aren't we just like smart insects who just live a bit longer? Why should we care if what we do impacts negatively on anyone else? We all end up dead in a couple of years anyway. What does it matter if a mosquito stings me? It is doing what it is wired to do. We are wired to do things to survive and make ourselves feel good. Why limit ourselves? There is no God to judge us and anyone else who would judge us will wind up dead and have no memory of us, nor will we have memory of us after death. So let's get out there and do it if it feels good. NO limits, but the law......and there are many ways to get around that.

Good ole hater Jerry -- said time and time again that he would be taken up in his lifetime as part of the "rapture" -- he said it repeatedly, as if it were fact, like all the rest of the bible prophecy he ranted about. And, guess what. He died. No rapture, Jerry. Just a void where, before, stood a staunch hater of many Americans.

But WOW. Look at the videos of him, they're all over the internet. He stated that as a fact, many times -- he would go up in the rapture. Jesus told him in visions it would happen! He witnessed it!!

Sayng all the usual buzzwords/nonsense that people use here in Y!A when they talk about bible "facts" and being born again and being possessed by the "lord", etc.

It makes you wonder -- what other "tidbits" are Jerry and his followers wrong about?

Stanley Lane-Poole in ‘The Moors in Spain’: Introduction.


"For nearly eight centuries, under the Mohamedan rule, Spain set all Europe a shining example of a civilized and enlightened state. Her fertile provinces rendered doubly prolific, by the industrious engineering skill of the conquerors bore fruit a hundredfold, cities innumerable sprang up in the rich valleys in the Guadalquivir and the Guadiana whose names, and names only commemorate the vanished glories of their past.
"...To Cordoba belong all the beauty and ornaments that delight the eye or dazzle the sight. Her long line of Sultans form her crown of glory; her necklace is strung with the pearls which her poets have gathered from the ocean of language; her dress is of the banners of learning, well-knit together by her men of science; and the masters of every art and industry are the hem of her garments.

"Art, literature and science prospered as they then prospered nowhere else in Europe...

"Mathematics, astronomy, botany, history, philosophy and jurisprudence were to be mastered in Spain, and Spain alone. Whatever makes a kingdom great and prosperous, whatever tends to refinement and civilization, was found in Muslim Spain...

"With Granada fell all Spain's greatness. For a brief while, indeed, the reflection of the Moorish splendour cast a borrowed light upon the history of the land which it had once warmed with its sunny radiance. The great epoch of Isabella, Charles V and Philip II, of Columbus, Cortes and Pizarro, shed a last halo about the dying monuments of a mighty state. When followed the abomination of dissolution, the rule of inquisition and the blackness of darkness in which Spain has been plunged ever since.

"In the land where science was once supreme, the Spanish doctors became noted for nothing but their ignorance and incapacity. The arts of Toledo and Almeria faded into insignificance.

"The land deprived of skillful irrigation of the Moors, grew improvished and neglected, the richest and most fertile valleys languished and were deserted, and most of the populous cities which had filled every district in Andalusia, fell into ruinous decay; and beggars, friars, and bandits took the place of scholars, merchants and knights. So low fell Spain when she had driven away the Moors. Such is the melancholy contrast offered by her history."

In another thread, a poster made the assertion that:

"1) Not all "gods" are the same. They are vastly different. Therefore either one religion is correct and the rest are false, or all religions are false."

Am I the only graduate of college Logic 101 that sees the problem here? Why *couldn't* it be true that all religions are true? Does there HAVE to be "One True Way™?" Why couldn't it just be true that certain *claims* of various religions to be THE One True Way™ for *everyone* are false?

Am I the only one who doesn't see an either/or here?

Marmaduke Pickthall in his 1927 Lecture on 'Tolerance in Islam,' Madras, India.
"In the eyes of history, religious toleration is the highest evidence of culture in a people....It was not until the Western nations broke away from their religious law that they became more tolerant, and it was only when the Muslims fell away from their religious law that they declined in tolerance and other evidences of the highest culture. Before the coming of Islam it (tolerance) had never been preached as an essential part of religion...
"If Europe had known as much of Islam, as Muslims knew of Christendom, in those days, those mad, adventurous, occasionally chivalrous and heroic, but utterly fanatical outbreak known as the Crusades could not have taken place, for they were based on a complete misapprehension...
"Innumerable monasteries, with a wealth of treasure of which the worth has been calculated at not less than a hundred millions sterling, enjoyed the benefit of the Holy Prophet's (Muhammad’s) Charter to the monks of Sinai and were religiously respected by the Muslims. The various sects of Christians were represented in the Council of the Empire by their patriarchs, on the provincial and district council by their bishops, in the village council by their priests, whose word was always taken without question on things which were the sole concern of their community...
"The tolerance within the body of Islam was, and is, something without parallel in history; class and race and color ceasing altogether to be barriers."

We all hate making mistakes. some mistakes are mild, and they teach us valuable life lessons for the future. but others can have disastrous consequences, and sometimes you may wish that they never happened.

If, for just one moment, you were given the ability to to go back in time and erase just ONE mistake you made in your lifetime in the past.........what would it be?
