I mean, knowing that they are exceedingly investment savvy, why would the christian catholics hang onto 30 year maturity-date bonds if god was going to come-a-calling them in the near future? Should we begin worrying about this "rapture" thing when they start converting all of their multi-billion dollar term deposits into cash?

O Lord Please Don't Burn Us

O Lord, please don't burn us.
Don't grill or toast Your flock.
Don't put us on the barbecue
Or simmer us in stock.
Don't braise or bake or boil us
Or stir-fry us in a wok.
Oh, please don't lightly poach us
Or baste us with hot fat.
Don't fricassee or roast us
Or boil us in a vat,
And please don't stick Thy servants, Lord,
In a Rotissomat.

This is a response I got from a good friend after I told him that his actions may lead him to the devil.

Why would Christ permit his Church (the dignity of the individual human being) to be hijacked by Constantine and these incompetents? Why would he allow Monica Lewinsky, the Clintons, Gore, Bill Daley (Gore's campaign manager in 2000) and the Supreme Court to create the Iraq fiasco?

yesterday, i read a question about the movie jesus camp. the asker was puzzled by why people were so shocked by the documentary. according to her, she couldn't see anything which she considered appalling about the people in the movie. below is a direct quote from jesus camp. what are your thoughts about it?

"It's no wonder, with that kind of intense training and discipling, that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I wanna see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam. I wanna see them as radically laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have... excuse me, but we have the truth! " - becky fisher, camp leader

also, what were some of the more appalling parts of the documentary to you?

I know not all of them are, I was just wondering why so many(not all but a large number) of the ones that use this site come across as rude and intolerant, almost dogmatic.

Where as ALL of the Atheists I have met face to face seem really quite pleasant and I often socialise with many of them.

Does this website make people more aggressive, or do people come here because is it a difficult issue for them?

Are you aware in the past the Pope has joined the nazi's by signing the Nazi Oath? Will you call me a liar, or will you do your own reasearch? Is joining the Nazi's considered "infalable"? How can someone who joined the Nazi's be a leader of a church that claims it is the "One true Church" and that there isnt any salvation except by them?

do you know any really strong revenge spells? I have someone causing me serious problems and i want to hurt them bad. its not an ex or anything that trivial, its someone seriously evil. i want to do as many revenge spells, curses hexes as possible.

I have done the lemon and nails spell, the black figurine, graveyard dirt and blackberry leaves spell, the knotted string spell and a binding spell to stop her messing with me.

Have you ever done a curse or hex or spell, how do you do it, and did it work.

the more evil the better please.

and dont tell me about the power of 3, its because ofthe power of 3 that she's having these spells done to her. she seriously deserves an eternity of bad luck and horridness after what she did to me and my family.
it's well deserved, trust me.

Ive no real preference or anti religious pursuasions its just that people seem to ask reasonable questions and usually get answered by people copyying out irrellevent sections of scripture, as if that helps or answers the question!!!

No guarantee that mine will stay the same for any length of time, but, I this is what my cousin called me after seeing me dressed up like a yogi at a relative's costume party. My name is Mike, so Mikenanda is a play on Paramahansa Yogananda's name.

There are some rather interesting avatar names in here...I'm curious about the story behind them.

It appears that Christians go bonkers! crazier than lunatics! dysfunction and aberrated maniacs when it comes to sex, sexuality, seduction or any other reference to sex. Is it because they are so sexually repressed? Is it because they are jealous of the good times other people are having with sex and they cant have good times, just make babies and shut up about their feelings? Is this why the republican party has become the "family-values" hypocritical political party for Christians? Look at all the sexual scandals that involve republicans: the one thing they have in common is they're all Christians!!!!!!! So can someone tell me what it is about SEX that drives Christians into raving senseless egomaniacal fools whenever "sex" is evident or discussed?

I heard the current pope keeps an apartment outside of the Vatican for 3 cats, which other clergy clean up after.

Does this sound like a responsible use of funds? Especially at a time when the LA nuns are being tossed in the street?

What other apartments does he have? Perhaps one for cigars? Perhaps one for a vinyard? Maybe one for wardrobe and another for gold? Actually, I guess gold could be kept at the vatican with the rest of it they stole from the Jews during the Holocost.

Anyway, does anyone find anything wrong with this picture? What happened to the vow of poverty? It doesn't apply if you are a Pope?

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
