I'm just checking it out and have noticed how tame the insults really are. I swear to God, a Brit said to another, "If you were my husband, I would poison your tea!" And he responded, "Madam, if I were your husband, I would drink it!"

contract HIV and hepatitis. So figuratively (or for real catholics) drinking christs blood and eating his flesh is more a public health issue rather than some sacred activity.

How come to any muslim, whatever the US or UK does is wrong? Israel receives money from the US and the muslims are outraged by it. However, Palestine receives huge amounts of money from the US, and they just take it hand over fist.

Muslim countries throughout the whole world receive billions and billions of dollars in aid from US, UK and Europe, and without this aid their countries would be totally uninhabitable. the muslims still hate us and want to kill us.

The oil-rich arabs don't share their billions with the fellow muslims of their own countries, yet they take our money.

Most muslim countries, and I would say almost all of the oil-rich muslim countries, are governed by a tiny minority of absurdly wealthy individuals, while the general folk have nothing.

Is this what muslims really want?

If God had created all of the life forms in one week in one place and they had then spread out from there over the whole world, then why are the life forms in the eastern and western hemispheres so different?

And if all land animals and men had drowned except for those in the ark, and all that now exist are descended from those chosen few, then why the different kinds of animals and men on either side of the Atlantic?

And why do they include American animals in pictures of Noah’s Ark, when at the time the story was written they didn’t know the New World existed and so couldn’t know of those animals unless they changed the biblical stories to include American animals, which we can only assume would be false then; unless American animals are the evolved state of those animals that did survive on the ark.

People have asked what is your favorite Marian depiction or devotion. I am always shocked how many people who are suppose to be Catholic replied Medjugorie.

Medjugorie has been declared to not be a genuine apparition, it has been banned from pilgrimage, the previous Pope and the current one have said anything said positive about Medjugorie that has been attributed to them was pulled out of thin air.

The letter from the Congregation for the Propagation of Faith is you read it says no, no and no again. And the core substantial theology put out by the "seer" borders on heresy of all proglomated Christian doctrine (by Catholic and non Catholic Churches). So how can you call yourself Catholic, deny the directive and teachings of the Church and promote Mejugorie?

If I encounter one more fundie declare that being gay is no more than a choice, I'm gonna toss my lunch. Let's see now: if you're heterosexual, was it a "choice." I mean, could you have been gay or straight but decided, No, I like girls, I'm drawn to the sweetness of the female form and smell and those other things? Or did you say, Hey, either one, male or female, I'm ready and eager? And did you see Kevin smiling at me in gym class? That's the "common sense" part. Being straight wasn't your choice, right? Then why in heck would being gay be a "choice" for gay guys? As for science, it has been found in study after study, in research upon research, that a human being's sexual orientation is determined by genes and environment. Chaps, do try...try...not to be stupid on everything. You are humans, yes? You have a brain, yes? Okay, use it!

Not trying to be putting it down, I have the upmost respect for the bible. However,
The cherub with the flaming blade of a sword was placed there to protect the entrance to the tree of life.
If there had never been war or fighting and they were the first two people. Who thought of a sword?
Why not just a scary creature? why not place a wolf or mean dog in the garden and then say stay out.
Didn't the sword give men the idea that war was okay?

This is from the BBC:
Pope reinstates Islam department

The Pope has been repairing damaged relations with Muslims
Pope Benedict XVI has reversed a controversial decision he took a year ago to downgrade the Vatican department which deals with the Islamic world.

The Council for Interreligious Dialogue will be restored to its former position as a department in its own right.

I thought he was infallible? What gives?

I'm a 20 yo male not in the best health. I have a lot of heart problems and have had many surgeries. I also have a pacemaker (machine to help my heart beat). I've been told I'll have more surgery in the future. I'm starting to get depressed, I'm tired of all the doctors and the surgeries, there is no real cure for my problems, I just have to keep seeing doctors about it all my life. How do I become happy? I've had these problems since birth. I worry about my health all the time and I'm concerned my problems will get worse and I'll die young. What should I do?

Why do religious folks never speak of bible prophecy that is unfulfilled or outright wrong? How is it that all of this can be completely ignored?

If someone just like me does not believe in any organized religion at all, does not believe in the God described in the bible however believes in the existance of a supreme being ,not sure if I would call it God or whatever, some people have called me atheist becasue I do not believe in the Abrahamic God but true meaning of atheist is someone that does not believe in any supreme being at all , so people the think the same way I do what are we? PLEASE refrain from insulting.

Hello! I am getting attacked with demons speaking lies about various subjects to my mind... its to be expected. If the devil knows you are trying to fight he is going to fight back.

What lies has the enemy spoken to you, specifically to your mind? aka "god isn't real" "you're no good" "You're a sinner"
and what is a scripture that you can use to counter it.

A sample response would be like

Lie= "God doesn't exist"

Truth= Deut. 7:9 "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations."

that would be great! I want to arm myself against common ploys of Satan's kingdom. God bless you for your effort.

Use this as an example in making your decision: There's a colossal mosaic, 3,600 sq.ft. dominating the altar of the church at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate in Washington, DC. It shows Jesus with bare muscular bare arms & fierce frightening blue eyes. This mosaic of Jesus violates the canons of the greeting card industry. Jesus was soft & tender in His First Coming as a human. With the Second Coming, the gloves will be off, and then its no more Mr. Nice Guy. Is this so? Didin't He vent His wrath on wicked men at His First Coming? Which image of Jesus should we and would you, contemplate?
