Either case there is no excuse for it. 'Marriage' should be defined as between a man & woman. 'Civil Union' should be used for others. The rights would be<u>equal</u>, the distinction <u>seperate</u>.

The Russia that [attacks Israel and that] God destroys is the one near the end of the millenium. These aren't the Russian Christians that obey God, but most probably the majority of atheists today and in the past...God is saving them all for the event to make an example of them.

Nooooo, the 'box' is the human mind and body. OUTSIDE the box is the spiritual realm of God and how much He loves us through Jesus. Christians think outside the box more.

Honestly , it would be very hard not to lie [to save a life], but I dont know if I would. For instance , in Corrie ten Boom's book The Hiding Place , her sister was placed in a position where she was asked if she was hiding a Jew , which she was, and she told the truth.It took extreme courage to obey God in this situation , but she did.

But it' interesting to hear from an Athiest that lying is ok sometimes (sarcasm), this supports the steretype that they are immoral.

Where are the 1st Century atheists?.. where are their writings? where is the account of the first century atheist who saw Christ die and NOT be resurrected? where are the writings of the atheists who say the apostles never existed? the miracles never happened? where is the writing that said there was NO big earthquake?.. were all the denials lost in the sands of time?the gospels survived..why not all the denials?????

If you look into the history of the [Deteronomy] command [to stone rape victims] you will discover that the women is expected to scream. The presumption is that if she does not it is consensual.

I've just begun reading the posts on this [someone's deconversion and subsequent banning] tonight and it seems so sad to me. I've been angry at God at a few very rough spots in my life, but never enough to stop believing. What on earth happened to cause this???

Didn't they used to treat homosexuality as if it were a mental illness? And there was a time when divorce was treated with disgrace. I don't know if it was divorce or the free sex movement of the 60's that opened the door (or should I say opened the garbage shute)... Homosexuality is a perverted and willful sin against God and it's a sin of choice just like pre-marital sex, smoking, drinking or drug-use they are all choices people consciously make. On top of that homosexuality and pre-marital sex are killingpeople with diseases like AIDS and other STD's -how can we even dream of being silent about this kind of behavior

Your message goes into elaborate detail about your symptoms [depression] but only gives a very brief reference to the source of your illness - homosexuality.Your symptoms are very typical,in fact the suicide rate among homosexuals is horrendous.That's one of the best pieces of evidence that God is right in condemning homosexuality.It is literally a lifestyle of death.Most homosexuals try to overcome their deep-rooted feelings of depression and feelings of being separated from others,by repeatedly going out and engaging in animalistic sex.Your message indicates that you are attempting to deal with your illness in a morally responsible manner.If that is the case,you're now ready to take the next step - treatment.Large cities do have psychologists,social workers and psychotherapists who treat and cure homosexuality.You can conduct a search by making phone calls from your yellow pages directory.But one important word of warning - most counselors are very good at talking about problems but totally incompetent when it comes to solving problems.So what you need to ask the therapists you contact is if they cure homosexuaity.There are also some internet organizations that provide online help.Exodus International and Setting Captives Free are the two biggest ones.The latter is very spiritual.If anyone can help you find Jesus again,it will be them.You can not expect much help from God however until you make a sincere and concentrated effort to get rid of this death-producing moral illness in your life.

[The following series of utterly amazing posts from the Acne.org forum is of such unprecedented quality that it's all but impossible to nominate just one. Thus, the entire collection is recipient of this never-before-seen prize.]Evolutionists say that man originally evolved millions of years ago from a fish that crawled onto land and liked the scenery so much that it decided to stay. Now, if, as evolution dictates, organisms evolve certain mechanisms in order to survive in their particular surroundings, how the fuck did this fish, who had up to then spent all its life underwater breathing through it's gills, survive it's stay on dry land? I mean if you pull a fish out of the water, it is out of it's habitat and it writhers around and soon dies cos it doesn't have lungs. But this fuckin fish species was evidently so smart that it decided millions of years earlier to evolve lungs so that sometime in the future, you know, if things got boring in the drink, they could crawl onto land and evolve into squirrels, monkeys, apes and then man. And people think fish are clueless!!

I've practically been terrorised for proclaiming that Darwin has more holes in his theory than a leaking boat, but the only reason morons negate me is because their concepts are flawed and outdated and they know it... obviously the only way to make scientists understand this is by throwing bricks at them.

If anyone remembers the case of the Piltdown Man, and how the entire lower mandible was actually the jaw of an orang-utan, they'd think twice about the credibility of Darwin.

Why would a fish need to develop the capacity to breathe on land if it is a sea-bound organism? If this theory were put in reverse, then human sailors would spontaneously begin to develop gills in their multi-millenial preparation to become fish... The theory of evolution cannot explain these problems so it conviniently overlooks and ignores them. I have read lot's of literature both for and against evolution and my opinion is that Life on Earth is just too amazing and creative to be the product of random, chaotic natural selection. Cheers.

There are some who would argue this point with you. Some study where it was determined spirits or the supernatural were somehow weighed and the result was somewhere in ounces. 1 to 4 or something like that.

Of course I've heard of R. Dawkins and his books, I've often visited his web-site, <a href="http://www.world-of-dawkins.com" target="_blank">www.world-of-dawkins.com</a> [which has a large disclaimer at the top that it's not by Dawkins...] <u>The book doesn't really explain stuff well in my opinion</u>... if complex emotions are also the products of evolution, how come random natural selection gave them only to us humans, just one species out of tens of millions?

The theory of evolution claims that all matter was formed by chance. By some extraordinary feat of magic, inorganic and unconcious matter 'developed' the ability to come together and form life. If this holds true than the ability for me to suddenly evolutionise (if circumstance permits) into a giant spiky eyeball also becomes a likely reality... "T Hence, it flies in the face of an evolutionary possibility... the probability of a protein being formed by chance is zero, therefore the probability of me turning into a deviant bodysnatcher to devour his guts (though unfortunate), is also zero. Also, homology, is a myth.

That little link of up there offers no answers to the question I raised earlier: How do evolving organisms with evolving i.e. semi-formed i.e. non-functional i.e. temporarily useless vital organs live and survive? If the heart is vital for a mammal to live, what kept it alive while it was evolving that heart?

Another thing to consider is this: since evolution is ongoing, where are all the transitional life forms with evolving and currently-useless organs and limbs TODAY??????????? Are there any organisms today with semi-formed organs and limbs, ones that are, in lehman's terms 'under construction', due to become functional sometime in the next few millions of years?? The answer so far is a big fat NOPE!!!!.. These and other questions are routinely ignored by scientists who think their PhD in biology makes them Gods, er sorry, evolution's all-knowing gift to mankind!!

Just so you know, I've spoken to biologists and evolutionary scientists in both Europe and Australia and NONE of them could explain to me the points I and Aysia just raised, they just say 'Oh, that field of research hasn't been fully explored yet.' Shitheads, if something hasn't been fully explored or explained, you can't declare it to be true!!!

[After that nonsense was debunked]You've no doubt fallen for the same boring easy common trap of taking things at face value. Dig deeper, I mean really deep, deeper than the cholesterol-induced, sludgy slow stream of crap suffocating your neural pathways which is responsible for allowing your fingers to type such a croc of shit. Now grab hold of that one little piece of common sense that you have (no, don't eat it) and tack it to your disgusting forehead. Feel any better?It's no wonder the youth of today are so misguided.

The controvery surrounding evolution is a hype which marxists and materialists feed off like the disappointing rot of decayed meat. Most poor, thick-headed sods are denied the comfort of knowing the truth because they have this innate belief that every fucking scientist is a genius. Well they're not. Scientists: they shit just like you and me, except that they have the priviledge to spout dogmatic political agendas and label it 'logic.'
