When I look around current events and the internet, the RCC [Roman Catholic Church] is seen as more and more out of touch with the real world, irrelevant and clueless.

Mary being sinless is a myth. Ever virgin a myth. involved in our salvation a myth. Assumption to heaven is a myth. Interceding for us is a myth. And the apparations are a deception. Giving the rosary is a lie. The brown scapular is superstious garbage. The whole Mary deal is Anti-Christ. It's Goddess worship anyway you try to package it.

The Mary of the RCC is not the humble servant of the bible. The humble servant of God called herself handmaiden. The Mary of the RCC is arrogant and telling people how to be good catholics. Telling them that they need to worship her, and maybe she will be nice and tell her Son about you. Sorry axion, the Mary of the bible was Gods chosen vessel to bring Jesus to the earth. The Mary of the RCC is co redemptrix, and is part savior, that dispenses Gods graces. I hope you learn about the Mary of the bible someday. She was a good and faithful servant. Not the attention stealing idol that the RCC worships.

[After Pope John Paul II called for religious tolerance and spoke against homicidal fanaticism]Sounds like the pope is setting it up for the OWR [One World Religion] under the AntiChrist to hunt down and do away with the Christians during the trib. He seams to be blaming all the worlds religious ills on the fundalmentalist.

[Replying to 'end times prophecies always around the corner']Axion, how are you are going to feel when all of us disappear from in front of your eyes in the Rapture? Will you believe the Bible then? Or will you just figure we pulled a parlor trick on you?

Muslims are not Christians. They are Muslims. That means they follow the false Islamic god allah. Muslims deny CHRIST. They do not believe that He is the Son of God. If people believe that people are saved and still are part of these false religions, then they might want to read the bible again. I know that Catholics do not believe that the bible is the True Word of God, but it really is. See this verse [2 Titus 2:12], you cannot deny Christ, He will deny you before God, this is not a good thing. The RCC is running the path to One World Religion and the persecution of True Believers with great glee and gusto. It truly won't be many more years before the RCC is legally allowed to slaughter True Believers again.

After the RAPTURE, the RCC will be functionally intact and become the 'Ho of Babylon. . . and will set upon an agenda of stupidity that even the Taliban wasn't capable of.

It [the Constitution] doesn't [state all laws will be Christian], but the values and laws were constructed with the influence of Christianity. This is why anti pedophilia and other laws were made. Only because selfish lobbyists have agendas and seem to gather in droves, do we have ammendments going on." "With the over population and unemployment in this country at this time? Yes I believe I would support such legal action [banning minorities from entering and getting employment in the country].

[To a poster arguing that the Boy Scouts shouldn't ban atheist kids]You sure have issues, your mindset is destructive, and I'm not voting for you if you ever run for any kind of government office. You want to change every institution or organization? Some things should be left alone.

. . . it is so sad, but discernment and independent thought are not valued over there. The problem is that you can ask 100 Catholics what salvation is all about and you will get 100 different answers. . . but they will adamantly dispute it when you call it a 'buffet religion.'

But the proof you suggest is the fact that intelligent design is widely talked and written about in all types of media- If there was nothing to this theory, surely the liberal media would have turned its back, however they report because of the debate that this theory has sparked among scientists.

The "theory" of evolution has been around for thousands of years. Still after all this time, it changes from week to week. It is more the soup of the day or the flavor of the week. Creation is based on truth and is then consistant. An arguement presented 2000 years ago would be just as valid today.

Today we establish what we know to be true through the miracles and the healings. When we go to Africa many are healed of Aids. Science can delay death from aids, maybe for even up to 12 years, but they can not duplicate the results that the followers of creation can, by having a person who once was HIV positive come back with HIV negative results. The proof then is that the rate of infection from Aids was 4 million a year and it is now down to 3.6 million a year in the south part of the African Continent. A change of .4 million. It is the same with science. When they came up with a way to end the Polio epidimic, it did more then put a few feathers in their cap to gain them acceptance.

Look, I know by now how the story goes...no matter what I say, you will reply with your usual sceptism without actually looking into the theory itself with an open mind. Evolution is filled with holes- plain and simple- Intelligent design has no holes.

God created all things, and without God nothing was created! Evolution is a lie dreamt up by man so he could eliminate his conscious, by denying that God exists. The truth in the pudding is when you stand before Him....remember you cannot mix faith with science, because science is based on man made laws of nature, while faith is based on a God who created nature....your arguement is moot.

[On Christians who accept evolution as God's method of creation]So, if I tell you a lie, and convince you its true, will you say what you believe is a lie or the truth? Since you believe it, you will say its the truth even though I just lied to you and made you think its the truth. Same with these Christian evolutionists. Just because they believe a lie, doesn't make it the truth. We have a choice, either evolution is a lie told by man. Or Creation is a lie told by God. Its up to you to decide who is lying to you.

Its amazing how critical thinking seems to be a lost art among the general public. I guess this too points to being able to minipulate the masses.

I don't believe ghost's are from a person..........but are a result of the actions of that person when they were alive..... The more evil an action was demonic spirits would be present....they sit around laughing at the person doing the act...imagine them sitting there watching as a human hacks a body into pieces.. The demons sit there and say to themselves...look at the stupid humans doing our masters work.. When stuff like this happens this delights the stupid demons and they like that area..
