When Israel went after Syria, Russia had there best radar on and guess what ? GOD must have put his hand over it because they bombed that nuclear spot without ever being detected. Things were very very quite for some time after that because the enemy were scratching there heads. GOD can create miracles. Go to Israel and Middle East News and look at that sticky at the very top and watch that Video when you have time about Israel and all the Miracles GOD has done for Israel from people who were there and witnessed some very remarkable things. There are 13 parts but it will give you goose bumps all over.
It's called AGAINST ALL ODDS.

I agree that the existence of a deity is not a scientific proposition. But if science fails to provide an answer, then why continue to use scientific propositions?

isnt atheism just the easy way out?
living a life believed to be inconsequential because there is no god seems a little too convenient no?
a thief will justify his stealing and deem it right, because stealing is more convenient for him.
just as any other criminal or good person will justify anything they do to fit them.

truth is that everyone strives towards living a more convenient life because who on earth would want to live a life where there is someone at the end of the road to tally what you do right and wrong?

not be leaning to one side or the other, wouldnt it seem that the christian is the stronger person morally and spiritually and chooses the path less taken? the path of being righteous without the notion that he could commit suicide anytime life would get too difficult?

i understand the arguments how atheism is rational and christianity is not, but what about atheism being rational for the sake of convenience for the person whereas a christian, rational or not, chooses to pursue a path that is difficult to a majority of the world today

just wondering, let me know what you think.

[The blog entry's title is "True Colors of the Rainbow."]

I remember in a eighth grade science class an acronym for the colors of the rainbow. Roy G. Biv - standing for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. In honor of my science teacher, Mr. Hauser, I’ve decided to take the acronym and provide my own words to describe the ‘rainbow’ as it relates to these rallies in opposition to Proposition 8. Perhaps, this better describes their true colors.

Rage - those opposed to Prop 8 have sunk to unthinkable lows in their exhibition of anger.
Ostracism - a well defined coalition worked to pass Prop 8. Opponents are simply attempting to break up that coalition by singling out individuals or groups in attempts to have them ostracized by the rest of the coalition.
Yell - If your argument isn’t convincing, simply yell louder. Adopt the mantra of teenage rock bands - If your music stinks, just turn up the volume and maybe someone will notice you.
Government by the people - what they don’t believe in. They want government to just grant unwarranted special treatment to groups that really have no legal standing for such treatment.
Bigotry - No other way to describe the hatred and venom spit at people who’s religious beliefs led them to vote for Prop 8.
Intolerance & intimidation - They speak of tolerance, but redefine it to mean ‘if you don’t agree with me you are intolerant, but if I spit, scream and curse at you, that is within the bounds of tolerance.’
Violence - If all else fails, vandalize property, deface churches or threaten women and children.

Satan has many tricks and one of them is making people pretend that digging for fossils is a real job, but he's really only doing it so that we all dig closer to Hell. That way he can grab us when we walk past and pull us down the Hell Hole to stop us being saved.

Please stop with the fact that you think you know something TRUE and RIGHT. I am tired of blind,deaf fools, who on that day, the day when this world will see that there is a God, and that we didn't come from MONKEYS. For many, it will be too late to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. And, then, maybe you'll start to believe in all those who have been telling you the truth from the very beginning.If I came from monkeys I would be hanging from trees, eating bananas all day long, and scratching my arm pits. I love trees, don't like bananas, and believe that God is REAL. I do have a piece of advice for you. Get your facts, and stories straight, also, before? you get onto anyone's ("Christian") site........LEARN TO SPELL CORRECTLY.

[On Philip Pullman]

Should parents allow their children to read his God-undermining books? Secular forces will say "yes." Some liberal pseudo-Christians may actually say "yes" as well. Christians with common sense will instead say, "Don't hand your kids to the lions!" He is an "admitted" lion who wants to divest your kids of all faith in the Christian God. Don't let his "fable-framed," "Satanic" Trilogy get even close to your kids. God demands that we protect our kids from types such as Pullman, and we have the duty to follow His expectations.

Moreover, I do not allow a woman to teach or to usurp authority over a man. Instead, she is to be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.And it was not Adam who was deceived. It was the woman who was deceived and became a lawbreaker.

For many on the left, environmentalism has become a religion, no real surprise there. But the reason for the need of some religion, any religion, to fill the spiritual void on the left is rarely discussed. This article will examine some of the implications, and complications, of the new green creed -- which is, in fact, an ancient creed. It was once called "paganism."

I had to endure all sorts of rotten "science" while in school, but none of it ever phased me due to my knowledge of the truth and my parents who taught me the correct way that the universe and all that is in it came into being. My biggest problem isn't with the theory of evolution itself (I understand full well the need for sinful man to make himself into an animal and thus create excuses for himself) - but that it isn't treated as a theory and has been embraced by teachers and textbooks alike as factual. So long as your son is grounded in the truth, he'll be fine.

Islamic governments are expected to join with the Vatican in protesting against a French-backed declaration in the UN General Assembly that calls for the decriminalisation of homosexuality worldwide.

Rama Yade, France’s secretary of state for human rights, will visit Manhattan this week to throw her weight behind a statement supported by dozens of nations that blasts the outlawing of certain types of sexual behaviour.

The 13-point declaration urges states to ensure that sexual orientation or gender identity may under no circumstances be the basis for criminal penalties, in particular executions, arrests or detention.

While the controversial document is not binding in international law, it has provoked hostile responses from leaders of religiously conservative nations that regard homosexuality as sinful.

Margaret Awino-Kafeero, a diplomat from Uganda’s mission to the UN, which currently chairs Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) meetings at the world body, said many Muslim governments rejected the declaration.

OIC delegates have discussed the gay-friendly statement and agreed that governments choosing to prosecute homosexual behaviour should object to the declaration independently.

The OIC decided it will be each individual country’s decision, Awino-Kafeero said.

The declaration indirectly criticises more than 80 countries in which homosexuality is punishable by law.

The Vatican’s permanent observer to the UN has already revealed Holy See opposition to the statement, which is still being drafted and carries the support of 56 countries.

Archbishop Celestino Migliore said the Vatican opposed the resolution because it would add new categories of those protected from discrimination and could lead to reverse discrimination against traditional heterosexual marriage.

France’s declaration is backed by EU members and has won support from non-western countries, such as Ecuador and Uruguay as well as two OIC members, Gabon and Guinea-Bissau.

Personally I feel that masturbation is the greater evil. If you sit down and look at pornography, you are being tempted. If you walk away, you have achieve victory over that temptaiton. But to go to the next step is to give in to that temptation, which is where the real damage takes place.
It's also a form of idolatry, because the sexual image becomes a thing of worship and desire.

It won't be long until we are not allowed to say "Christmas" in public. Brace yourselves! Lately I have been practicing saying, "Merry Mas everyone!" so it won't shock me too badly.

Sounds festive, doesn't it?

Before long we'll be putting up the Mas tree and singing Mas carols. (Of course all the Christmas songs we know and love will soon have to be converted... "I'm dreaming of a white Mas")

The good news is that as we continue to push God out of our lives, both publicly and privately, He will never leave us "but His arm is stretched out still".

Merry CHRISTmas everyone!

I've noticed one thing in atheists, especially the more hostile ones against Christianity....the reason they're so hostile toward us is because they know, deep inside, that they're wrong. Of course they won't admit that...instead, they usually get more hostile toward us....much in the same way that I believe that no atheist can have real, good morals...that one really ticks them off!

Almighty God, the father of Jesus Christ, is the supreme author and authority of and throughout the entire universe. He can travel the length and breadth of your universe whilst you can only stumble with the restrictions placed upon it by speed of light. You can only live for approx. 100 years whilst he can live for an eternity. You put your faith in evolution whilst the mechanics behind it state clearly that Almighty God is its benefactor.

When you have understood the teaching of Jesus Christ you will understand the Grand Unification of the Four Field Forces. Then you will drop to your knees and pray for foregiveness.

(Regarding a Video on CNN)

CNN posted this video of a military mother who just returned from the Iraq war to surprise her eight-year-old son. This young boy didn’t think his mother would be home at the end of the year because after all “she was fighting to protect him.” The eight year old boy Hunter Hartberger described his feelings as “I’m in heaven” because he “missed hugging” his mother while she was over fighting terrorism.

This is truly the world turned upside down.

Thanks to all of you moms out there who prioritize your duties as Christian women as wives to your husbands and mothers to your precious children—and you often do so in the face of ridicule by vicious feminists, rejection by undiscerning friends, and, sadly, sometimes even without the praise of the Church itself. Stand fast!

Seems as thought the atheist homos have taken over this forum in the hope that they can brow beat anyone who doesn't agree with their agenda and actions into submission.

Of course this will never happen as the Bible is quite clear about sexuality which was invented by God for man's pleasure. However, he did prescribe certain parameters as he created us in the first place so we have an emotional makeup that is meant to operate in certain ways for our benefit.

The one overriding factor that is consistent throughout the scriptures is that all sex outside of marriage is contrary to God's plan for us. We ignore it at our peril as we are doing at the moment. The end result is that we are making a very good job of screwing up our emotions and relationships.

The other fact is that it teaches only one kind of relationship as ordained by God and that is between a man and a women in marriage. There are 770 verses relating to this topic and not one speaks of two men or two women getting married.

When you choose to ignore this evidence it is not surprising that you are led to believe that Satan's deception is the truth as he has a habit of blinding the eyes of those who do not want to know God's order for society, which he has every right to do as he created it in the first place.

[Another fundie displays a knack for rogue science]

Treatment for cancer.

1. Once the patient is diagnosed, pump a barium solution into his or her bloodstream, and also get the patient to swallow some.

2. Then x-ray the patient - any cancer cells will show up as having irregular outlines due to the barium solution.

3. The next step (which I concede is somewhat resource-intensive) is to inject each cancer cell with a small quantity of manganese.

4. Then lay the patient out of a table under a large electro-magnet positioned at the forefront of the abominal cavity. The magnet will connect with the manganese, thereby sucking every cancer will to one location directly under the magnet.

5. Now anaesthetise the patient and then activate the solid-state laser, taking care to aim the beam directly at the area under the magnet.

6. The cancer cells will, quite literally, be zapped into smithereens.

No more cancer.

Okay, I know this may seem controversial if you've heard of the Westboro Baptist Church, but if you haven't heard of them, they're a church operating out of Topeka, Kansas. They achieved infamy by picketing the funerals of gays and U.S. soldiers with their main motto being "God Hates Fags." Now, I believe that Fred Phelps, love him and his tactics or hate him, is right in one aspect: God DOES hate fags. The Bible spells out exactly what God thinks of gays, so why the political correctness about it? I think every Christian ought to be expressing what an abomination it really is, after all, if the message is loud and shocking enough, perhaps more gays will convert, and make it to Heaven and NOT the lake of fire. I say the message of "God Hates Fags" shouldn't be demonized, what say you?
