i've never read any of the harry potter books---in the same way that i've never taken a needleful of heroine or snacked on a bowl of rat poison.

witchcraft is not harmless. the defence that "it gets kids interested in reading" makes about as much sense as saying that gang rape "gets kids interested in social activities".

There is a lot of fraud (think Piltdown man) and a lot of misunderstandings (Neanderthals were suffering from lack of vitamin D). Before the flood the air was heavier, and richer. With the changes of the flood, dinosaurs could not live. (except for the deep water types, like Loch Ness Monster). Therefore they were killed in the flood. They might have been part of the Almighty's original creation, or they might have been the results of genetic experiments. No, Atheists did not put them there.

I also believe that this story is just a lie. I am a Christian,and I hate to see people attempt to use a lie to prove a truth-its just wrong.
Now, about science using personal beliefs of scientist. This is a fact. There is no evidence for evolution. It is all (100%) supposition. If evolution was a fact, then all scientist would believe it. But when surveyed, just over half of scientist believe in evolution. Personal beliefs and opinions run amok within the circles of evolution.
There are many scientist willing to publicly state that they do not accept Darwinian evolution as fact. See www.whoisyorcreator.org and scroll down the page for a link to a growing list of 700+ scientist who say so.

The Bible is very clear about homosexuality. It is an abomination and those who are homosexuals will surely die (not achieve immortality). If you TRULY believe in God and that the Bible is God's word, then you have no option but to heed it. You can't be a cafeteria Christian, consuming what you like and rejecting what you don't. To use a phrase liberals use when they are doing something offensive, "Get over to it." The next time you want to talk about intolerance, let's talk about liberals' intolerance of conservatives.

Quote# 32924

Is atheism an offshoot of Islam?
The basic declaration of faith in Islam is

"There is no god, but God".

This statement has two parts

1) There is no god
2) But there is one God

This statement was revolutionary considering the time it was revealed. It reduced the number of gods to just one, which is so close to atheism. The first part is very significant in that it rejects all baseless beliefs associated with "gods", which is the essence of atheism; whereas the second part explains the uniformity, will and purpose behind the creation of the universe as well as the source of the moral principles governing the human society which are basically religious in origin, but still which even the atheists condone. Historically it can be seen that atheistic ideology came into being only after the advent of Islam. It arose in Europe during the dark ages as the rebellion against the church as a result of their interaction with the Islamic civilization which was flowering at that time. However as the Europe didn’t become Muslim they embraced only the first part in principle. Still they too accepted two vital corollaries of the second: That the universe is governed by a single will, which is of course the science; and they too accepted the moral values like human equality, freedom, fraternity, justice and morality which are basically religious in origin, but has been corrupted over the ages and has been re-founded by Islam. (For example even though there are many scientific theories challenging the human equality, atheists has generally favored it).

Hence it may be safe to state that atheism is an offshoot of Islam?

So, looking at science, and Nasa endeavors, it seems that the moon is quite a spiritual place.

I would suggest that, since we know that the inner earth is a place where spirits live, so also is the inner moon!

Isa 66:1 - Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

That almost sounds like He sometimes is so near the earth is like His stool. What heavenly body is nearest to earth?

The interior of the moon, like earth, I would think, by the evidences of science in the form of moon landings, is inhabited by spirits. (i.e. the general strong feeling it was a spiritual place)

In this respect, the package of the moon is like a Christmas present. Lots of neat things inside.
And science doesn't know what is in the center of the moon.

God flooded the earth, get over it. The Bible and Aig has ALOT more evidence to prove that a flood happened than you do to prove that the earth is "billions" of years old. Were you there millions of years ago? Nope, didn't think so. We have an accurate History book, the oldest history book that tells us the truth about what happened.

mesquiteskeetr: "According to US Government records, Atheist is a religion."

a&O: "Not only that but it's also anti-American. It also equals a bad and immoral person half the time. Most people just hide the atheism in the closet because they are so sensitive about the guilt trips people lay upon them for seeing thing differently."

Daily on campus, students try to legitimize their addiction to alcohol by saying “well, Jesus turned the water to wine.” Their Jesus is a hippie longhair bartender that is all too willing to feed their illicit lust for mind numbing intoxicants. They conclude, since Jesus turned water to wine, now it’s o.k. for us to go to our fraternity keg party AND GET WASTED!

Yes, many of the early American immigrants drank a lot of hooch. If they were practicing drunkenness, they were not saved and did not go to heaven!

I’ve also heard of another movement in certain Church’s that are trying to say that Jews do not need Jesus to be saved…something I vehemently disagree with. I have notice John Hagee really pushing for Christians and Jews to work together, I’m not quite sure what he is saying in relation to this subject…I just hope the Gospel message is not being pushed out in the name of “co-existing”. Isn’t it disturbing how many times that Christians do the wrong thing in the name of Christ over the last 2000 years?

Homosexuals are the unhappiest people on earth. They got raped by their own fathers as little boys.
That would drive anyone insane. Now they have convinced themselves they 'liked' it, a denial response to cope with the trauma of having such gross abominations committed against them. There is little hope for their recovery. It would be more merciful to shoot your little boy in the head than to rape the poor kid. But let's get real, it would be better for you stupid pedo faggot fuckwits to shoot yourselves in the head than to lay a finger on a child. Goddamned stupid dirty faggots burn in hell.

Today, Christian couples self-righteously and self-assuredly limit the size of their families based on the unbiblical values and principles of Margaret Sanger and the free love movement she promoted. Are you willing to separate from 95% of your fundamentalist brothers and sisters in Christ who are involved in this sin?

"So a religious head was punishing the child of non-believeing parents... Religion will never change"

If you don't wish to know about Jesus and christianity, why do you want to celebrate CHRISTmas?
Or is it just more fostering of the greedy "I want" mentality and someone elses religion is a convenient thing we can misuse?
Christmas is a BIRTHDAY celebration for JESUS, it is not about commercialism and "what I can get out of it". After all, if you remove Christ from christmas, there is no reason to celebrate it!

A belief in science is a belief that cannot be scientifically proven. ... For me, what sets Christianity apart is its foundation: a God whose character provides a standard for morality and who loves the world enough to defeat death in order to establish a basis for our eternal salvation. :D

"liberal" christianity is not christianity in the first place... You cannot take middle ground. You either give up all your life to Christ or none of it.. You stop ALL sinning or you continue in it..

Everytime you try to justify another sin you bruise and hammer another nail in Christ.

Liberal "christians" would be denominations like the Unitarians who think all are saved, even the unrepentant, also "christians" who support sinful things like abortion and gay marriage(which by the way has schismed the Lutheran and Episcopalian denominations, as well as many others),,as well as other things like sex outside of marriage, promiscuity, feminism, children out of wedlock, birth control, the conditions in public school, thinking theres other ways to salvation without Christ, and other forms of Satanic influence etc..

They are nothing but wolves in sheeps clothing. people who are ashamed of the gospel and just "go with it" because it makes them agreable to other people.

RAIPUR, India (Reuters) - A Hindu priest in Chhattisgarh killed himself with the promise he would come back to life after two days, police said on Monday.

Manoj Baghel, described as an intensely religious man, poisoned himself in front of a small crowd on Saturday at a temple in Raigarh in Chhattisgarh, police said.

He was taken to hospital, and died soon after.

Police have registered a case of suicide, but have been unable to take the 25-year-old's body for an autopsy because supporters have insisted on returning the body to the temple and waiting to see what happens.

Police expect the crowds will give up their vigil by Monday evening.

I have an Indian-English-German-French background. There are curses on each of these people. Indians worshipped devils. Some English and Europeans were Druids who worshipped Satan.

In innocence my father participated in some occult practices - wart removal and water witching. From my father came curses of Masons and Indians. Physical problems came as a result of curses on Indian worship: Inactive thyroid, female disorders and heart disease.

My mother was a paranoid schizophrenic with an Indian-English background. Her emotional illness caused me to need a lot of DELIVERANCE from emotional problems.

Can i ask a question? Thank you, what is the basic law of matter? Matter cannot be created! So basically for the "big bang" to have happened when one atom collided with another one creating a massive explosion or whatever, WHERE did those atoms come from????? And for evolution, men have wanted to fly for centuries so why don't I see birdmen? Or why don't I see Deer that have an eye in the back of their heads so they can see predators?? Why cant you just think "man I wish i had an extra arm" and your grandchildren progressively grow extra arms???? As far as I know man has looked the same for at least 5 thousand years and more. For anything to have happend their had to be a "beginning" so where did earth come from?? The planets? Why didn't all monkeys become humans? Why are their not 8 eyed Antelopes? And where did those molecules that form the world we see today come from?? To answer all those questions their is only one logical answer!! God!

These six waterpots (normally used for washing feet) when full would contain about 150 gallons. [Jesus ordered them filled with water, and turned the water into wine.] This much additional intoxicating wine would certainly be too much for guests who were already drunk, and it is inconceivable that Jesus would provide such. This "good wine" had been miraculously created by the Creator and was brand new, with no time to ferment and become old, intoxicating wine.
