A language full of lust, hatred and humiliation!!!!!!!!!

[Prov. 5:18]
REJOICE WITH THE WIFE of your youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; LET HER BREASTS SATISFY YOU AT ALL TIMES.

[Song. 8:8]
We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when is spoken for? I was a wall, and MY BREASTS WERE LIKE TOWERS.

WOMAN IS EVIL !

[Zech. 5:7]
The leaden cover was lifted, there was a woman sitting, and he (the angel) said: this is wickedness.


KILL WOMEN, CHILDREN, ANIMALS !!

[Ezek. 9:5]
And the Lord said, "Go through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have you pity. SLAY UTTERLY OLD AND YOUNG, BOTH MAIDS AND LITTLE CHILDREN, AND WOMEN.

He didn't say a thing about sacrifice for sin at the Sermon on the Mount, and he didn't say anything about sacrifice for sin when he returned to the apostles after the Crucifixion.

In fact, just prior to the Crucifixion he inferred in Luke 23:31 that the tree was about to dry up! Does that sound like good news for mankind to you?

So, did Jesus Christ know about the "Gospel of Jesus Christ" that Paul would later preach in his name?

I mean why waste your time? God did not bless America on 9-11, and has not saved any soldiers in Iraq or Iraqi civilians?

Why does God have a problem with anal and premarital sex?

Why does God care if I go down on him before or after the wedding?

What are you people talking about?

What do you do in heaven anyway?

Will the people left just all eventually die and go to hell? Will Earth be left in a burning inferno? And would God so readily abandon that which he spent 7 days creating?

Not trying to bash Christians here, I'm genuinely curious-it's a sticking point for me, and one of the reasons I'm no longer Christian.

ENGLAND OUTLAWS CATHOLIC TEACHING
Catholic teachers in Britain won’t be able to present Catholic dogma in Catholic schools anymore because of a new non-discrimination law.

By Joanna Bogle
Register Correspondent

LONDON — Britain has a new law banning Catholic schools from teaching Catholic morals [...].

Under the new Sexual Orientation Regulations, it will be illegal for a teacher in any school, including a Catholic school, to state that homosexual activity is morally wrong, and that this is a teaching that should be accepted as true. A teacher could be prosecuted if a pupil were able to claim that, by teaching the sinfulness of homosexual activity, the teacher had discriminated against him and caused him to feel hurt or humiliated.

Christians, whether or not you agree with Catholic teachings, you should be frightened by developments like this. Did anyone ever read this article?

A billion-rich professional Evangelistic Forum in Chennai, India, made clear references of patients who could not get cure from Chennai’s Apollo Hospital and Vijaya Hospital finding absolute recovery through its crying prayers to God. I took pain to write to the Hospitals giving reference to the Evangelist’s claim and both the hospitals did not even send me a reply. They may have taken some action because I do not find the Evangelist naming these hospitals afterwards. Recently a Kottayam (Kerala) based another billion-rich Evangelistic Forum - nicknamed ‘Twin Bulls Show’ claimed that they through prayers cured a cancer patient rejected as a hopeless case by the prestigious Regional Cancer Centre. When many Evangelists claim of cures rejected by hospitals and medical profession is it not the duty of the Indian Medical Council to intervene and expose the cheats. Is it not as serious a job as catching quacks indulged in by the I M C?

Like somehow because we refuse to accept theoretical models of forming of living species proposed by the world we must therefore be all dunces who have no understanding capability.
There are many powerful arguements as questions which evolution has failed to even come to touch on.
If bulk the answers we get on if asked to question the reasoning of evolution ends up with humor, snide remarks and unconnected attacks religion.

Don’t you think that cash-hungry fraud Evangelists who parade themselves, as healers and blessings brokers and cheat people with false claims of Holy Ghost intervention and face to face talk with Jesus Christ should be removed without trace from the face of this earth. Is it not absurdity when an Evangelist closes his eyes and claim that he sees Jesus Christ replacing the diseased womb of a woman with a fresh one? Can’t we ask the Evangelist how he felt seeing a naked woman on operation process? Please do not get offended because this is my expression of frustration of people not reacting wildly to these earthly cheats who tarnish the image of Jesus Christ and Christianity. I have heard Evangelists like Stanley Johns and I carry them in my heart for their commitment to faith and mission work.

Isn't Bush a born-again? Why does he allow our soldiers to continually lose their lives for a war he predicated on lies and prevarication? Would Jesus be very happy with him?

Please don't give me the free will excuse. Starving children never chose to starve. Mentally ill people never chose to be mentally ill. People with abusive childhoods didn't chose their crappy parents and traumatic upbringings. And so on... We don't chose our genetics or what kind of socioecomic evironment we're born into, which throws a big monkey wrench in the whole free will concept, if you ask me.

So if God is good, loving and has the ability to affect our lives, why do so many people continue to suffer from problems they are not responsible for creating? How can you reconcile a good God with a harsh world?

Come, behold the works of JAHWEH, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. (Psalms 46:8-9)

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I JAHWEH do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7)

The great day of JAHWEH is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of JAHWEH: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against JAHWEH: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. (Zephaniah 1:14-18)

Is it that atheists do not believe in the existence of a "God", and that agnostics might not believe but might be spiritual, or open to the idea of a God?
