Quote# 46875

I just got in an eMail - for the umpteenth time - a thing about "lessons for 2008" from the Dali Lama that's "pertinent whatever your religious beliefs."

The advice may be good, but frankly, as a Christian, I don't give a darn what he has to say, nor do I wish to promote his beliefs in any way. Needless to say, I deleted it without reading it, and certainly did not "read quietly then send it along on its journey, and within 96 hours something amazing will happen." [angry smiley] Just the very thought that someone who purports to be a Christian would even send me something to affect my "karma" annoys the heck out of me.

I've asked people over and over to NOT send me this junk. I'm trying to compose a good, Scripture-laded response to send to them and hopefully make them realize that believing in and promoting this garbage is witchcraft.

What would each of you respond?

That's what he wants you to think it his mountain of campaign lies.

Truth is, he is a muslim and wants to bring America down. That is why they cheered him in Europe, that is why Hamas and the Taliban both hope Obama wins, that is why Julio Chavez wants him to win.

Atheism and policies based on atheistic principles have an appalling record of crimes against humanity.
Hitler, although he is best described as a pantheist occultist, used atheistic, evolutionary principles to formulate and justify his eugenic and ‘master race’ policies. Countless millions were brutally slaughtered as a result, including around 6 million Jews. The atheistic regimes of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ceaucesco, Honicker, Kim il Sung etc. together murdered at least 39 million people, making the century of the great atheist experiment, the most bloodthirsty and brutal ever in the history of the world. Even today, our present, secular society with atheist inspired ethics continues the slaughter. This time with the killing of, and experimenting on, millions of innocent unborn babies. The fruits of atheistic thinking has proved to be an absolute nightmare. So surely, we must have learned the lesson that atheism is inherently evil.

You can all refer to crimes supposedly committed in the name of this or that religion, but I am afraid the crimes committed in the name of atheist beliefs, (which includes Hitler's evolutionist beliefs) are the worst ever in history. And the 20th century was the first experience the world has had of rule by self-declared atheist states. These regimes taught atheism, banned religion and officially persecuted religious believers in the name of atheism

You just do not understand how dangerous it would be for us to have a Muslim President. You think we Christians are bad but we let you to have a free will. Muslims' agenda a is to make all people Muslims.

It is far worse in my book to be a Muslim than a black. There is only one race, human race.

Screw you! Evolution is the new kid on the block and his time is up. Far more intelligent societies than this one have believed in God and would be outraged at the arrogant elitists who assume every society before ours was backwards and ignorant.

Give evolutionists the floor for one century and they act like they've always ahd it and it's their right. Sorry Charlie, your days are numbered. 10 years from now evolution will be laughed at just as hard as the flat earth theory we once held to.

We've been seeing the COEXIST one around here, too.

For those who haven't seen one, it's the symbols of different faiths (faiths, not denominations), spelling out COEXIST.

Kind of eerie. Probably most of the people with them have no idea what those bumper stickers really stand for.

RE: Palin won't cave to big science

Palin has a level head as well as a pretty one:
http://www.tsas.us/if-72-...isis-from-the-presidency/

Are children these days are facing increasing pressure from the FEDERALLY FUNDED scientific establishment to accept evil-ution as the explanation for everything, but we're lucky that the Republican party gets its answers from the right (no pun intended) place: the good book. The founding fathers as well as every wise man in history has lived his life by the teachings of the bible (Black Hussein Obama lives his life by the KORAN).

Look, nobody's sure where all of this shit came from, but there's a real debate here. Intelligent design is every bit as valid a theory as Evolution, and I'm glad Palin and McCain have the foresight to give the good book back the time it deserves in schools.

Quote# 46846

I don't understand how people who think God is somebody's name can call themselves atheist. It makes no sense @ all. Its the mentality of theists to operate under the presumption that God is somebody not an atheists.

If more people shook of this nonsense about God being somebody's name those who seek to push their opinions with the pretense that God wants it would be far less successful. If somebody said YAWH (name of Christian deity) says abortion is wrong nobody would take any notice, but because people are indoctrinated into theist belief about God people can get away with saying God says abortion is wrong. People need to realize that when a theist uses the word God they are referring to a deity, this is not the case for all people who use the word God. Atheists use the word God in an entirely different way, for an atheist to assert that God doesn't want or like something is absurd. That would be like saying love doesn't like stem cell research, absurd.

This whole issue exists as a result of atheists being willing to adopt theist belief in regards to what God is. Without said willingness to adopt theist belief about the nature of God the whole issue with laws & politicians using the word God to manipulate public opinion would not exist.

Why does it seem to be fashionable and cool these days to be an atheist, gay or a satanist?
Why are so many young people at my college turning their back on God and our savior Jesus Christ?

Is it just a fashion statement? Are they rebelling against authority? Why is it so cool these days to be unchristian and so uncool to have faith in our Lord?

[Why does God let us suffer so much? Every five seconds a child dies of hunger, why?]

there are multiple reasons but the main one is that God is trying to get your attention that he is real. if god were to solve all our problems right now we would only think that those events were natural and never give him the credit for it. god is willing to stop it if people would just ask.

[Do you admit that you deny evolution because of your religious bias?]

NOPE. I came to Christianity through evaluating the evidence. im not afraid to face the facts I just find the facts for God more logical than evolution

Quote# 47096

(Watchingthesky had quite the 'spiritual' experience reading the Koran)
That being said, I would not recommend anyone who is not strong in their Faith and walking with God read the koran. Seriously. There is a very strong, demonic spirit on those pages. A binding spirit, something bleak and dark.

I speak from experience. When I first started reading the koran, I wasn't exactly walking strong with the Lord. I was backslidden, to be honest. As I read through the book, I started having very strange and increasingly distressing dreams. There was a pull in it, something beckoning me to accept it, to give in to it, and most importantly to DENY CHRIST WAS GOD AND MY SAVIOR. I remember some of the most disturbing dreams -- I would be in arab garb and others would be demanding that I deny Christ to become "one of them". I always resisted, screaming at them that Jesus was Lord. I would wake up in cold sweats, terrified and exhausted.

It was truly disturbing and the one time in my life when I can honestly say that I was under spiritual attack for certain.

I started to feel like there was something in the apartment with me at times, watching me. Something dark, something that wasn't there for my benefit.

I started praying a lot after that, crawling back to Christ and things cleared up very quickly. Praise God!

Funny thing is, years later when I read through the Book of Mormon, I sensed the same kind of spirit, but it had nothing on me by that point. I saw it for what it was, I guess, and whatever spirits inhabited those texts couldn't get to me as I was walking much closer to the Lord.

Pastor Fred Phelps comes a whole lot closer to being right than MOST pastors in America today, i.e., concerning his fierce stand against homosexuality in America. Would to God that more pastors CARED about the deplorable spiritual condition of the United States. The average American today has waxed sinfully proud, spoiled, and indifferent concerning evil. You can't tell most Americans the truth nowadays, because they either flare up in hostility and rage or could care less. Many Americans have become intolerant and hostile towards the truth. A soon to be released Walt Disney movie, UNDER DOG, features the motto... "One nation under dog!" BLASPHEMY!!!

Why are some people so gullible as to believe the Evolution Theory?

I wish people would actually investigate the facts and not let certain "scientists" influence their vulnernable and weak-willed minds.

I have corresponded with most of the evolutionary scientists out there: Lenksi, Felsenstein, Charlesworth, Wood, Crow, Ewens etc....and I was surprised at how little evidence they could bring forth in support of the Theory. Ewens even admitted that the fundamental theorem of natural selection ( as proposed by Ronald Fisher) does NOT relate to evolution.

When you examine the fossil record and the dearth of transitional fossils, the sudden explosion of new species in a short timeframe, the lack of genomic evidence ( did you know the mouse has more genes than a human) , the fact that symbiosis is far more prevalent in Nature than competition and selection, you begin to realize just how much the modern synthesis stinks.

Quote# 46910

Yes, I'm such a homophobe. *sarcasm*

Have you ever been hit on by one? It's disgusting and sick. The person knew I was straight. I don't give a flying leap if your gay, no, I really don't care.

I don't agree on marriage. "Their love is the same" my back end. A love between a man and a woman is not the same as man x man or woman x woman. Man x woman doesn't equal any of that. So don't pull that card. I'm sick of that card. Some people love and want to marry animals. Should we stick them in the same boat because it's 'love?' Because it's not the same. It's a little demented fetish they allowed to grow.

They can have the rights of marriage, but they don't deserve the title. They chose a life (and don't give me that genetics bull.) that doesn't have all the rights, etc. But apparently going about it and whining allows something to be done (and once again California is the first to think that allowing it makes them oh so trendy. This is the same state that's banning lightbulbs. Oh, woe is to that evil lightbulb!)

I also get tired of the 'gay rights' nonsense. Oh, let's not forget 'gay pride.' They get their rainbow panties in a knot when we went to speak up for straight pride because you know, we have nothing to be proud of and it makes us homophobes!

I also just do not like it. I find it morally wrong.
