"Corpus Christians can drink from the tap once again"

I laughed so hard when I saw this headline in the newspaper this morning that I spewed Coke all over my monitor! Does that mean that atheists and followers of another religion still need to boil their water to be safe?

The headline appeared in the Corpus Christi Caller Times. The city was placed under mandatory "water boiling" orders on Tuesday following the discovery of fecal eColi bacteria in the water supply. This headline announced the lifting of that ban yesterday evening.

I know what they were trying to say, but didn't anyone realize the way it would look at first glance? LOL

The government of the United States is based on ancient Greek and Roman governmental structures. Those governments ultimately failed in the end. The more land and power that they ammassed, the more political unrest occurred and the less control they had. Do you think the same will happen to the U.S.? Why or why not?

And P.S., I realize this has nothing to do with religion, but I am familiar with the people who frequent this section, and would like to hear what they have to say.

It's right there in Deuteronomy 25:11.

Don't try to have my question deleted because that book offends you. It SHOULD offend you. IT, not this question, is the problem.

Assume a situation in which this had to happen. Terrorists are going to kill 500 babies or something, while torturing puppies. I dunno, whatever it would take. Doesn't have to be a religion per se, but that's what most of the options would be.

Me, if every lunch could be like the flat-bread and hommus I just had, I'd convert to Vegetarianism.

Can you prove the original bible wasn't burned. Did Jesus say we should pray in a temple? Who wrote the new version of the Bible? Did Jesus have a son? Do you go to heaven when you die, because the Bible says you don't. Is the Bible true, is there only Mary, Jesus, and God in heaven? Will Humans only be let in the gates after the Rapture and Armageddon ?

Anyone who thinks ancient people were dumb are totally out of touch with what has actually happened.
An ancient man sat down on a stump and wrote the Bible fairy tales and said "this will screw up the future". Is that what i am supposed to believe?
My suggestion is that if you thinks that is the case you take a long walk.

Most people just say: " Christ died for our Sins".

That's pretty clear, I know that. But in what way would His death save us from Sin?

Fill in the blank.

This question keeps getting deleted, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. So I will try again.

“I saw in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed” (Dan. 7:13:14).

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout O daughter of Jerusalem: Behold your King is coming to you;…He shall speak peace to the nations; His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth” (Zach.9:9-10).

“Come and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up. After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight” (Hosea 6:1-2, see 1 Cor. 15:4).

well i used to go to church until i stopped in 6th grade because my mom let me

and yesterday i finally visited a church and it made me want to be an atheist because i realized the bible was a bunch of bullsh!t because it tells you what your suppose to be and what your suppose to be believe in because these people tell you this is the "right" path and i abesoluty hate the fact they dont accept gays it is disgusting. I think what religons do is they capture the young and poison their minds and tell them what they are suppose to be in life and they cant be their own person [this is not just the gay problem] and all they do is judge you but i want to believe in god and ask him for guidience because i do need it but i just hate having someone telling me what i should be

Why can't they just recieve Jesus (get thier fire insurance) and forget about the Power that they can have by being baptized in the Holy Spirit.
I mean, we really do not need all the blessings that God wants to give us. Do we?

Of course, the answer is yes. This is my silly way of asking a basic question: is my deep respect and admiration for the beliefs and practices of my Jewish and Muslim friends a good reason for me not to convert?

Is my strong belief that my gay brother and gay and lesbian friends/co-workers need to be treated with respect yet another reason to not begin the process?

I mean no disrespect toward anyone's beliefs. My commitment to God, and to serving others, is sincere. I've always been strongly drawn to the Catholic faith. These issues are the main reasons for me not taking the plung.

Thanks for you answer. Peace be with you.

Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put My spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street... A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench” (Is 42:1-3).

“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert” (Is. 35:5-6).

Personally I do not, but that is because of my former Christian background.

I realize many Wiccans and pagans do believe in evil and demons. I do not for me personally I do know negative energy exists, but have a hard time justifying something like demons. this is just me.

Put Away Christian Things

From the first letter of Paul of Tarsus to the school at Corinth:

When I was a christian, I spake as a christian, I understood as a christian, I thought as a christian: but when I became an atheist, I put away christian things.
Chapter 13, verse 11

Brethren, be not christian in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye christian, but in understanding be atheist.
Chapter 14, verse 20

Are you secret about your beliefs? If so why?
I am open, but not in your face about it. Here in my part of Texas a good many pagans have to hide theri beliefs for fear of losing jobs.

I like some secular songs by Artists I know or suspect live UnChristian lifestyles and even some who I know have expressed UnChristian views. I don't want to support them financially, so I download their songs for free.

Is this right or wrong in your opinion?

I'm genuinely conflicted.

Regardless what you believe. Do you study it? Do you know how it was founded? Really? Have you yourself done the research, or do you just believe what others in your group tell you what your religion is? My point is I see people claim a religion they really don't understand. You can tell it by their answers here. I.E. A man claiming to be a satanist said that satanist did not worship Satan. And others claim a religion they don't even follow, or they pick and choose what they like. So again Do you know your religion?
