[Speaking of his Catholic girlfriend, and ignoring the fact that Catholicism is the largest and most powerful sect of CHRISTIANITY]

She does not want a Catholic wedding, she is certainly not Catholic but a Bible believing Christian.
Although I will admit she is not as knowledgeable as I am since she grew up in the Catholic Church. However her parents do read the Bible with the family pretty often, which gives her a good background in the scriptures.

Now you look into all religions and see a flaw, Christianity was supposedly the? only standalone true way, until 'media' stepped in and degraded us with controversy that was based on opinion and perceived as truth. You look at the news, but you won't find a more prosecuted religion out there.

(next post)

Now let's answer a fundamental question before you further your dispute. Do you believe that your life has a purpose? If not, then (logically) you are completely irrelevant as far as subsistence goes. An? existence without a motive is like an unfinished puzzle. The "missing piece" is the true fact that tends to be displaced by fallacious testimony. What does your heart tell you when you try to find the way? Is it just encrusted in corruption and blinded from all that is true?

The theory of evolution states that a more “evolved” life-form (the effect) stems from a simpler one (the cause)—in violation of both cause and effect and the second law of thermodynamics.

Brainwashing is a powerful weapon to control the thinking of the masses. It can be used in many ways. Hitler used it to sway millions with his Ministry of Propaganda. Today we see it in commercials, pounding us with sexual situations that 50 years ago would have been unspeakable, but are now used to sell all kinds of products.

Behind this breakdown of morals is what I believe to be one of the most powerful messages of our time: Evolution.

Do you realize that school children worldwide are told we come from monkeys, or goo? And they believe it without question! Can you imagine the gigantic effort and cost to pull this off? National Geographic, all leading publications, popes, politicians, leaders, scientists and most teachers are in on it. What does it tell the kids? “If you believe in God and that He created us, you must be a sicko of some kind!” That’s because the creation message is kept from them, ridiculed and denounced.

When kids are told they are just animals, we shouldn’t be surprised when they act like them.

Don’t despair, beloved. God has given us tools to fight back: Three tracts, all on evolution, used as a set, will break through that mental barrier of kids. One isn’t enough. It’s got to be all three: Big Daddy, There Go the Dinosaurs and our newest one, Moving on Up! We hit evolution from three sides.

Not only do teens need this, but adults do, too. The messages are powerful but done with humor to entice the reader and pull him into the gospel message. These three tracts together will make an impact. I pray you see the potential. It could turn a godless school upside down!

Quote# 42186

One reason that men abuse their wives is because women rebel against their husband's God-given authority, a Southern Baptist scholar said Sunday in a Texas church.

Bruce Ware, professor of Christian theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., said women desire to have their own way instead of submitting to their husbands because of sin.

"And husbands on their parts, because they're sinners, now respond to that threat to their authority either by being abusive, which is of course one of the ways men can respond when their authority is challenged--or, more commonly, to become passive, acquiescent, and simply not asserting the leadership they ought to as men in their homes and in churches," Ware said from the pulpit of Denton Bible Church in Denton, Texas.

An advanced syllogism using both Thaxton's specified complexity and Dawkins idea of god ("River of Eden"?) might be:

DNA processes are carried out by an intelligent agent. God is an intelligent agent. Thus, DNA is GOD

DNA doesnt care about suffering because DNA does't care about anything DNA is God

God doesn't care about suffering, or anything. Copyright Eric Peterson 2004

I believe this argument is sound and valid. What does your staff think? If you publish this, include my name.

Evo/Atheist hypocrisy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I find it so very interesting how atheists are so sure of themselves that there is no God, and that all lifeforms somehow appeared and evolved randomly, without any sort of intelligence to either start or fuel the process. And even more interesting is how they seem so utterly confident in this illogical position.

Of course, this mindset is ludicrous...and here's why: Evos/atheists (Yes, they're one in the same on this forum) don't believe the universe was created by God, who by definition is a creator and thus capapble of creating........so essentially, what they don't believe in is an entity capable of creating existence.

So if that is the case, my question is this: if God (a capable entity) isn't responsible for existence, what is?....something not capable? And how are you so sure of yourself when you don't really know what this non-capable thing is?

Paradoxically, natural selection is claimed to be a creative entity (Darwin and his minions claim it's responsible for speciation and evolution as a whole), yet it's never been tested scientifically or proven to produce a single thing or adapt even one population.

So what we have is a small sect of people (10% of the population) who believe whole-heartedly via blind faith in a biological mechanism that has never been seen or proven to create or adapt anything, yet at the same time, they are so absolutely sure of themselves that no entity exists who is capable of creating existence.

Does anyone else see the hypocrisy and religiousness of this?

the bible is not behind in modern knowledge at all. it speaks of the earths roundness the anatomy of animals etc.


God has made it so easy to get to heaven and he constantly tries to persuade atheists through other people and their conscience etc and for those who died without ever hearing about him, they are judged by thier conscience in which is written thew laws of God. Those who have heard however will be held accountable. God has an abundance of patience and will constantly try to convince the non-believer of his existence, even to the point of near death experiences Ive heard stories of people who have been to hell and were lucky enough to have another chance to straighten up. God himself says however that he isnt going to strive with men forever.

[In a thread about the CNN specisl "God's Warriors"]

one key point (and i wrote cnn with a list of 14) was she did not compare any of the segments with any criteria taken from the Bible. it was assumed that all were fighting for the same God, which they are not, and it was assumed that each faith had it right, which they don't.

I understand that you may have different opinions, and will take offense, but that was just my opinion, its different for everyone. If I didn't believe in God I would be like that im 100% sure. Atheism is communism, every country that has gone Atheist has gone communist, like China, and like USSR was.

the fact is that nobody is oppressed in the United states.
People like Homosexuals and many blacks like to keep pedaling that idea for their own political ends but it's a lie and they all know it.

The only thing that the Oboma's and democrats are going to do is make Homosexuals into super citizens.
and after that other groups will get on the band wagon and pretty soon the only ones not considered to be super citizens will be white Christians.
---
If you look at each of these states that has legalized Homosexual marriage it is very plane that the people of those states Don't want it at all.
It's Liberal God hating Judges that are making policy from the bench.

These judges much like the liberal media people are another group that would be shot by our forefathers for treason.

This is getting so sickening when our leaders are telling us that they want us to vote for them because they are the Champions of the Homosexual Sodomites.

Auto-correct can be a very helpful feature of any word-processing program. But when conservatives use it, they run the risk of embarrassing themselves.

... the American Family Association’s OneNewsNow website takes the phenomenon one step further with its AP articles. The far-right fundamentalist group replaces the word “gay” in the articles with the word “homosexual.” I’m not entirely sure why, but it seems to make the AFA happy.

...My friend Kyle reported this morning that sprinter Tyson Gay won the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials over the weekend. The AFA ran the story, but only after the auto-correct had “fixed” the article.

That means — you guessed it — the track star was renamed “Tyson Homosexual.” The headline on the piece read, “Homosexual eases into 100 final at Olympic trials.”

You ignored the other list of people I gave to you, and your calling me ignorant? I know the quote of Josephus is questionable, but there are many others and I gave you a list. Where is your evidence of Christianity taking over the roman empire by force? Where is your evidence of it taking the people in charge to gain power? Constantine chose Christianity because he didn't want his empire to be destroyed on his death bead. I can only thank him for ending the major atrocities against Christianity, but when pagan ideals entered the church at that time, that roman catholic church, it went down and became corrupt, only then, when PAGANISM entered Christianity, did the evils begin to occur. The Christians of old, they were true, they followed the Bible step for step and they were loving, because they followed a religion of love, now give me the verse that tells Christians to burn witches, kill idolaters, and steel land.

How do I save my son's soul from the going to The Bad Place(H*ll)?

Yesterday, I was washing my 13 year old son's laundry and one of his socks was stuck together from the inside. Needless to say, he must've engaged in b*dily behaviors that are unbiblical.

I am not kidding here, I am a level four Top Contributor, and I would not ask this for laughs. I realize how serious this is, as I have once fell prey to these horrible and defiant a*ts against God.

A translation of Genesis 38 and the story of Onan was:

"It is better to cast your seed in the belly of a whore than spill it on the ground."

That may not have been in the text itself, but I hold it to my religion beliefs. I would rather not talk to him about this. I am thinking about installing a camera in his room, not a hidden camera mind you, and removing the locks on all doors in the house.

My father did something of the like for meI now realize why it was he did that, it was for the better.

I do not want my son going to the bad place, our family must stick together. and if one falls we all fall

Additional Details

When I threw away the stuck together sock, it had a yellowish tinge.

I remember that tinge from the days I fell from grace.

Putting cameras in my son's room is not illegal.

I am pretty familiar with the law, me being a lawyer and all.

[In response to the question of whether or not science was a religion]

I've noticed some atheists get religious about it. I've met a few materialist-fundies who wanted all of the theists to be killed, or die somehow, etc. The Malthusian depopulationists totally remind me of the Nazis, too. Back in those days, for a while, it was a vital part of "Darwinism", and natural-selection was viewed by some as the sacred natural process which produced superiority via death and non-mercy. I've also noticed many quasi-darwinist quacks whom advocate flawed ideologies of genetic superiority only arising from random genetic mutations and competitive killing/starvation between one species and another.

Thanks for updating my erroneous memory of the arrival of AIDS.
