It's interesting. It seem as if his campaign was dead in the water just a couple of weeks ago, now there is a decent chance he can pull off the Iowa caucus.

I'm not thrilled with the "religious right" continuing to have influence honestly. But I have a hunch with those other two weirdo's (baseball)Mitt Romney and Giuliani not taking control, there is an opening for them to have further impact.

Yes? No? Maybe? Who's on first?

*P.S. I just slammed Republicans, but I think the Democrats running are **** too.

Once again providing another fact that god exists and religion is not man made

(Quran 57:25)"And We sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind"

Modern astronomical findings have disclosed that the metal of iron found in our world has come down from the giant stars in outer space.
Professor Armstrong works at NASA, where he is a well-known scientist here. .He stated that the scientists have come only recently to discover the relevant facts about that formation process. He said that the energy of the early solar system was not sufficient to produce elemental Iron. In calculating the energy required to form one atom of iron, even the energy of the entire solar system is not sufficient for that. That is why Professor Armstrong said that the scientists believe that iron is an extraterrestrial that was sent to earth and not formed therein.
So, could muhammad have known this 1400 years ago?
Even i didnt know that until recently....think about it

As far as I have read and heard people, who are against abortion, cannot accept that life is taken from a human being even if it is just a fetus.

The same group of people, at least most of them, seem to support sending young men and women to Irak and kill human beings there.

I cannot understand the difference between these two kinds of killing.

...and where the sports block is

...then why can't infinitely cleverer beings such as 'gods' teach their faithful flock where and how to pray? Without splitting into factions, churches, etc?

Surely they could have made that one small point easy to understand. You wouldn't send pupils to the science block to learn about modern languages?

And you wouldn't have kids arguing about which block was which, and why they should fight each other for it?

So why are faithful adults so confused when they claim to have the Perfect Word of God?*

*No offence meant. I really want to know what religionists think about this, because people get killed over this stuff. Non-religious people too. 'Collateral damage'.

Would you give your life to Christ like he did?
Saul was an angry man who did not like Christians at all. He yelled and screamed at them. He made nasty threats. He beat them and sometimes even killed them. Saul was definitely not a man anyone would want to try to befriend.

On this particular day, Saul was traveling to the city of Damascus. He wanted the leaders of the city to give him permission to hurt more Christians

From out of heaven, came the brightest light Saul had ever seen. The light surrounded Him. He tried to cover his eyes to shield the light, but it was so bright that it still hurt his eyes. He fell down on the ground trying to get away from it.

Then he heard a voice. It was unlike any voice he had ever heard, saying, "SAUL! SAUL! Why do you want to persecute me?"

Saul, not recognizing the voice, said, "Who are you?"

The answer came back, "I am Jesus."

The only Christian denomination I know of that is really positive and open minded with regards to Yoga are the Unitarians... and I'm not absolutely sure about them. Maybe you can clear me up with your opinion on it.

Thanks in advance.

I just read a pair of articles by Richard Cohen that were very enlightening. He basically says that if Romney and Kennedy had to give speeches about how their religion won't interfere with their abilities, and how their personal faith won't influence U.S. policy, then why doesn't Mike Huckabee, or anyone else who runs on their "faith" have to do the same? After all, this isn't an entirely Christian country. But under George W. Bush, we've had any number of policy decisions directly decided by his "Christian" views.

Mike Huckabee is making himself the "Christian candidate" in Iowa. Should he have to promise all of the Muslims and Jews and Pagans and Atheists in America that he won't impose his beliefs on them?

It is possible that all the complex organisms on our earth evolved, found a way to become interdependent for existence, and develop to their present state in such a short period of time?

What are the mathematical odds?

23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

Lets say for example you were right all along and when we all die , we just simply die and nothing else.....

But what if at the end you turn out to be wrong all along? Wouldnt it be smart to prepare and cover yourselves just in case? What do you have to lose, right?

verses a Christian calling Christmas the day of Christs birth?

As a Christian, we should see both as lies. However, I think that we should be MORE offended by the lie around Christs birth because it is Christians that are perpetuating it. A lie that comes from someone who may not know better (to me) is less offensive than a lie from someone who claims to be enlightened. (Doesn't a lie from a person who is suppose to be credible on the subject make it more offensive?)

What's your thoughts?

A) If you go to Hell= You can't live out ANY fantasies you've had while you were alive because you'll constantly be tormented burning in those flames of Hell.


B) If you go to Heaven= You STILL can't live out ANY fantasies because God is the DEMANDING Being who demands that you worship and serve Him at the expense of living out ANY fantasies you had when you were alive and never get the chance to fulfill any personal, individual fantasies and desires, whatever they might be and if you don't want to go to Hell, you must NEVER stop serving Him and either way, you NEVER get to live out those many different fantasies you've ever had.

They are totally against religion(especially Christianity) so I think they should talk to all the employers out there and demand not to participate in the celebration of our Savior's birth. Also they shouldn't get holiday pay since to them it's not anything to celebrate. I bet their bosses might go for the extra help.

Ok there are many different explanations for why people love each other and the two main ones or most salient to me have somewhat evolutionary perspectives:
One is that love isn't real it is just a short term (2-3 years) infatuation that eventually goes away. This explanation also argues that love goes against Evolution because it limits your possiblity to mate with others and since human gestation last 9 months and weening takes a while would lower the possibility of producing a larger number of offspring.
Second says love came as a result of evolution in order to make sure a man and woman stay together long enough to produce offspring and raise them till they themselves can go keep the bloodlines going.
Which of these is true? Because they are at odds with each other? Or is that just like with religion people will use science to back up their own prejudices and personal beliefs about life? Or is there another better scientific argument for the existence or nonexistence of love.

Psalm 90:2 says this:
"Before the mountains were born
Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. "

If God is everlasting by definition, then he cannot kill himself. If he could, then he wouldn't have been God according to the bible. But if he can't kill himself then he wouldn't be omnipotent. The bible says he is both omnipotent and eternal. Those can't coexist, therefore God does not exist.

This is one of most debated questions in human history. While searching for truth, many people have struggled with this question. Literally thousands of churches, denominations, and religious organizations throughout the world and throughout history have laid claim to the title “the one true church of God.

Jesus didn’t intend to build his church upon Peter, a fallen human being. Rather, He announced He would build it upon this concept:

“You (Jesus) are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God”

This is the central truth upon which every person’s faith should be built. It reveals that salvation isn’t found in buildings or church names. Neither is it found in the traditions or the doctrines of man, or through good works or a good heart.

Salvation is found exclusively through Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Everything Must Point to Jesus
Living for Christ requires suffering and an unyielding willingness to sacrifice everything that is not of Christ in order to serve

I Believe in God and the Holy Spirit, that dwells within me.
What I dont believe in is satan!!
I realize for whatever reason, that this might send alot of Christians into a frenzy.
I am not asking my fellow Believers to now try and convince me that satan does exist.
Nor am I asking atheists, to try and get me to take a fews more steps in another direction.
I want to hear from someone who feels like I do.
Blessings and thanks in advance.
