It is about the 'reconstruction' and I use that word loosely, of New Orleans. Anyhoo they are in a ghetto looking part of the city, and what are they doing? Building new homes, repairing damaged ones? Noooo, they are using the remnants of two wrecked homed to rebuild, not another home, but a bloody church. What is wrong with these people? They have no homes but golly gee they can go and pray. Like that did any good before the hurricane. Your thoughts?

They have a secret book that contains all the guidelines only give to the leaders of the Kingdom Halls (church) called Elders. It talks about such topics as sex, idolatry, masturbation, homosexuality, pedophilia, drugs, mental illness, marriage, blood issue, apostates, etc, martial arts. Basically all the do's and don'ts and what happens when you do them.

If you want their book called "Pay Attention To Yourselves and to All the Flock" just give me an email with your email address included.

that you can avoid pain and suffering and receive your perfect body earlier ? Why do we mourn the dead or prolong the suffering of people that we think will be in a "better" place ???

Ezekiel 20:25-26 (God speaking about the Israelites) "Moresoever, I gave them laws that were not good and rules by which they could not live. When they set aside every first issue of the womb, I defiled them by their very gifts - that I might render them desolate, that they might know that I am the Lord." King James Version. From the book "God: A Biography", pg. 331: "Laws that were NOT good? Rules by which they could NOT live? Is this how he demontrates that 'I am the Lord'? What the Lord alludes to in the phrases 'the first issue of the womb' and 'I defiled them by their very gifts' is child sacrifice." Jerusalem Bible rendering: "I even gave them laws that were not good and observances by which they could never live, and I polluted them with their own offerings, making them sacrifce all their first-born, which was to punish them, so that they would learn that I am Yahweh."

Whether it's obsession with the topic or self hatred, it's a little much, isn't it?

I wonder if maybe just not having gay sex might be the solution.

Just a thought though. What say you?

Here's my nomination:

Pet camel kills Australian woman while apparently trying to have sex.

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) - An Australian woman was killed by a pet camel given to her as a 60th birthday present after the animal apparently tried to have sex, police said Sunday.

The woman, whose name was not released, was killed Saturday at her family's sheep and cattle ranch near Mitchell, 600 kilometres west of the Queensland state capital Brisbane, state police Detective Senior Constable Craig Gregory said.

The 10-month-old male camel - weighing about 150 kilograms - knocked the woman to the ground, lay on top of her, then exhibited what police suspect was mating behaviour, Gregory said.

I'm at a loss as to where to post this question, so I thought that R & S was as good a place as any, as some of the content deals with death and the afterlife.

What of the time when Moses came down from the mountain with the 10 commandments. He found his people worshiping a golden calf. What then did god do? He separated those who would still believe in him then ordered them to kill the calf worshipers.

Now, what is one of the 10 commandments that would relate to this ordeal? Thou shall not kill maybe? Hmm...

I know that this is a stereotype, but most stereotypes are based (though sometimes very loosely) on fact. I know that presently, it has a lot to do with the whole Isreali - Palestinian state thing. But, has it always been this way? I know that the feeling isn't unanimous, but it's obviously strong enough to get noticed. Is it a religious thing? Historical? Something completely different? Honest question.

Please, no one use this as an opportunity to insult anyone

I didn't know how to describe us, I was going to say 'Fellow Atheists' but that isn't necessarily true. Or 'Fellow Realists', but that's sketchy too. So I went with Science Believers. I suppose 'People Who Don't Believe in Fairy Tales' could have worked, but let me get to my point:

Seeing as certain 'folk' can't seem to understand simple concepts like the scientific method or rational discourse, how can we expect these very special people to comprehend things like evolutionary biology or cosmology?

And I'm just talking about a layman's understanding.
Can someone who thinks the world is only 6000 years old and honestly believes it, no matter what the evidence, ever going to understand how complex the cosmos actually is?

And why do people get mad at Mormons for believing that God has a body. One of the main points of the New Testament is that Jesus resurrected, and thus has a body.

"To talk of immaterial existences, is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels God are immaterial is to say, they are nothings, or that there is no God, no angels, no soul...I can never join Calvin in addressing his God. He was indeed an atheist, which I can never be ; or rather his religion was daemonism. If ever man worshiped a false God, he did."

is it possible to follow the teachings of Jesus, yet believe that God saves ALL? i just don't think a loving God would create someone and then send it to suffer for all eternity. there are some major things i disagree with about today's Christianity, but being a Christian still appeals to me a little. is this possible?

2007-08-30 14:30:35 · 28 answers · asked by KellyKapowski 3

1. Christians believe that God has 3 parts to him or something
1. is God, 2 Christians believe Prophet Jesus (ra) is the son of God, and 3. The Holy Ghost.

Well, water has 3 parts right?

water as a liquid
Water as ice
Water as steam/gas

But you can change it back to water due to heat/cold

So, how does the Christian belief make sense?


IDK you tell me?

Guess wat Christians are wrong.

“Stop judging others, and you will not be judged. Stop
criticizing others, or it will all come back on you. If you forgive others, you will be forgiven.

Can someone tell me more about places where people have had visions with the Virgin Mary? Meaning, what happens to the people who see them, the area where it happens, etc. Ive heard of the place smelling fragrant like flowers after a sighting, among other things. Thanks :-)
