Why don't you let little people have a say in your church. Do you think God hates little people? You say Christ died for all our sins. Why do you deny little people the right to worshop Christ. Little people are not creatures or demons. Little people are not Satan's helpers. Shame on all Christians for denying little people the right to worshop as they please in your churches.

I listen to sermons on the radio a lot and sometimes I notice a preacher will go through a whole sermon without referencing scripture to back up his points. What type of dangers do you see in this?

During the Great Tribulation there will be many who will fall away from the faith and be misled by false prophets (Matt. 24:10-11; cf. 2 Thess. 2:1-4) and therefore, for the sake of the believers, the Great Tribulation will not extend to the end of the week (Matt. 24:22). But immediately after that period there will be a cosmic disturbance, signifying that the sixth seal has been opened (Matt. 24:29 / Rev. 6:12-14). The sun and moon are darkened and the stars fall from the sky, a great earthquake shakes the earth to its core and the sky is split apart like a scroll (Isa. 13:9-10; Ezek. 32:7-8; Joel 2:30-31 & Luke 21:25-26). This cosmic upheaval also signals the arrival of the Day of the Lord, however, before God pours out His wrath on the ungodly two events must happen. The sealing of God's bond-servants to preserve them from His wrath (Rev.7:3; cf. Rev.9:4) who will total 144 000 in number (Rev. 7:4-8) and the rapture of the church.. The Christians are gone!

For many people today, marriage is just a cultural tradition- something they enter into simply because it's what people always have done. It's expected. For others, it is an "institution" of the government. For still others, it is nothing more than a legal arrangement, like a business partnership which specifies rights, responsibilities and "out clauses."
In God's eyes, however, marriage is much more than any of these common understandings. In reality, God created marriage to be a "covenant." In this nation, we have turned what God views as a covenant-something Sacred, Spiritual and Holy- into some sort of contract. This confusion about what Marriage really is goes a long way toward explaining why so many marriages are in such a mess. COVENANT- It is a solemn agreement that binds parties together in a permanent, defined relationship. That is the real definition of Marriage. Hope you enjoyed this column and hope it helped some of you. God Bless.

I've written to Mr. Carl Llewellyn Weschcke about this council and the 13 Principles of Wiccan Belief.. here is his response:
"I drafted the “13 Principles of Wiccan Belief” the evening before the famous WitchMeet. As host, I chaired the Meet, and offered the group my draft. As I remember if – and no minutes were taken – the only debate was on the organization’s name: Council of American Witches versus American Council of Witches.

I maintained the position that American Witches were distinctive from British Witches in that we were more eclectic than traditional, and didn’t want some other group to claim that we were only a ‘chapter’ in some larger, as far as anyone knew, not yet existence group located in Europe.

I used to be the following:

Caring, nice, honest, helpful, and just happy,

i used to always have fantasies of myself being a huge singer and song writer singing beautiful songs in front of a crowd

wearing the most beautiful clothes and jewerly and hair styles

my passions were singing, writing, dancing, fashion, and starting a girl group

i loved the pcd search and was hoping to be on the next one

its because i picked up christianity and felt like a saint and happy and love in my heart.

but then i had convictions of my sins

and accepted jesus when i thought i already did

but later denied him and believed he did miracles by the power of beezlebub

then believed god was the devil

is that the unpardonable sin?

i think so because i even started feeling hate in my heart and anger and lost all my good qualities. and then i feared death and hell. and the holy spirit told me that i wont go to heaven.

It seems we have Christians beaten when it comes to scientific arguments, but are there are few philosophic ones that refute God's existance.
I know of a few, like Russell's Teapot, but I'm pretty sure there are more of them out there I do not yet know.
So, I would like to know what are some your favorite philosohic arguments against God's existance?

One person was labelled with I.B.S., and intestinal problem with no cause and no cure. By co-incidence he takes some antibiotic for a respiratory infection and his intestinal problems clear up.

He tells his family doctor, and he tells him that he probablly had giardia. No he was already tested for giardia and the specialist says he had IBS.

The old country doctor tells him that one test is not enough to detect this parasite (might take 4-5 tets)

-----

My research suggests that many common causes, ie bacteria / parasites could be the root cause of several incurable diseases.

Diseases like IBS, CROHNS, M.S., CANCER, even Schizophrenia could be caused by the failure of science to detect a infection and or overlooking that testing is not accurate.

There is too much money in 'disease foundations' and treating symptoms; why would you want a simple cure ?

The truth betrayed for a few pieces of silver, again ?

Those people were not found (No Corpses) we know they perished
physically died due very were identified by bone fragments, but by all accounts it is very hard to identify people that have been killed by an event such as a 9/11
If a Catatrosphic nuclear or asteroid hit would more than likely a massive number of people would perish without a corpse.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft has launched on a mission to investigate two titans of the asteroid belt. By studying the asteroid
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), now scheduled for launch in 2011, will observe the cosmos in the poorly studied high-energy X-ray band.
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

- 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Some say the Rapture and The Asteroid hit will come simultaneously
which will totally confuse un-believers because not all people of faith will be raptured. Start of the tribulation.?

It was noted that 'child abuse' was being defined as : "Men who abuse, women and children victims".

An anti-male agenda that would polarize the family, and totally ignore children who abuse themselves and others?

Why did this happen ?

I really like R&S but it's getting a bit repetitive and tired, and I tend to see the same people answering very similar questions... I want to ask two questions..

Christians - what do you gain from the same bible quoting routine?... you're giving athiests way to much power over you buy explaining the same BS over and over and over again.. No one is going to convert

Atheists - there's a difference between being anti-christian and an atheist... why on earth do you out of your way to bash the same defense time and time again when you know they aren't backing down?

I usually come on this site during work hours and i'm going to relax with it for a little while, cause not for nothing.... I'm seeing this as kinda pathetic, there are much more productive things to do.... this seems like bullsh!t hobby for both groups

I'm an atheist by the way
