I understand that it was the scientific establishment in the universities that opposed Galileo. Galileo was being funded by the Catholic church, so was the church fighting against itself? Unfortunately, yes. The scientists opposed Galileo and had the ear of the pope, so Galileo was threatened with death.

['YOU BELONG IN HELL' -- Kearny High preacher teacher uses classroom to condemn non-Christians]

Sixteen-year-old junior Matthew LaClair says he was shocked when history teacher David Paszkiewicz, who is also a Baptist preacher in town, spent the first week lecturing students more about Heaven and Hell than the colonies and Constitution.

He said Paszkiewicz told students that if they didn't accept Jesus, "you belong in Hell." He also dismissed as unscientific the theories of evolution and the "Big Bang."

How is relating feminism to a death cult whining? I'm merely pointing out an obvious similarity or possibly a factual observation.

Feminism has made abortion rights the cornerstone of their foundation. Abortion is DEATH, being either the death of a human child or a tissue mass that, left to live, would turn into a human child. regardless, something dies.

Death cults celebrate death and use death as the cornerstone of their fundamental dogma.

Blood is the sacremental element and death is the goal.

Labels like "victim" imply that the person had no control over the situation. Rape victims, child abuse victims...that is the correct context that the word "victim" should be used in. In this day and age, it's crazy to call women that allow men to beat them "victims". Spineless and a bad judge of character, yes. But don't lump those women in with true victims.

This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.

[dad justifying the deaths of well over 2,200,000 people recorded in the Bible]

mur·der (mûrdr)
n. 1. The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
2. Slang Something that is very uncomfortable, difficult, or hazardous: The rush hour traffic is murder.
3. A flock of crows. See Synonyms at flock1.

Love killings by God are not any of these things at all. Any more than a farmer who has a sick cow, and has to put it down, for the sake of the rest of the herd is 'murdering' it!!!! Gottcha.

['See for an overview <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult</a>. See how easy it is for people to believe something totally irrational? We have the benefit of knowledge to be able see how amusing how these Cargo Cults seem.']

"The two are totally different, people believe in Jesus because 1) He really did exist 2) His words, His teachings were/ are real - we have them in the Bible 3) He really performed many miracles 4) He really did rise again after He was executed and was seen & witnessed by 500 people after His death 5) He really was/is the Son of God.

Cargo cults are based on false premises & local magik (believing idols will conjure up more supplies washing up on shore) Christianity is based on truths, they are totally opposite, if you can't see that you are blind......

Pure Christianity (believing & following Jesus) is not a cult because there is no form of mind-control, brain-washing, control by an organization or deception involved. In fact if you really look at it - living in the secular world with the secular media people are saturated with is more closely related to being a cult!

God sends the babies. He will provide if we ask Him. Soon, there will be no more seas, that means a lot more room. Plus New Jerusalem, which could hold an additional, something like 23 billion, and still have space for a mile high skyscraper, with 8 1 acre apartments on EACH floor for every family of five!!! Or, if you prefer, a 125 square mile ranch for the same!!!!! Who are you kidding??

[Defending an ideology called "Quiverfull," which advocates having as many children as possible and home-schooling them to build up God's army]

Pastor Heneghan of Gospel Community Church sees the issue of population growth in more biblical terms, specifically those taken from Genesis and Revelation. "Some people think that what I'm doing--having eleven children--is wrong. I don't really get into that much. The Bible says 'be fruitful and multiply.' That's my belief system. They don't believe in God, so they think we have to conserve what we have. But in my belief system, He's going to give us a new earth." Overpopulation isn't a problem in a universe where God promises a clean global slate.

Wrong. You said infinite and infinite is infinite and that's how evolution gave us weird infinite shit so let's play the infinity game of extremes and still work within the confines of free will. Say you get some strange urge to fuck a monkey. Its your freewill, right? Okay then. Now, let's say your kids also have a knack for monkey fucking. Following? Great.

Now, let's say after all this interspecies ass reaming sessions, your great great great great great great, infinitely great grandkid sports an anatomical steering wheel out of his head. Sounds outlandish? Great. So does evolution. You and the rest of your atheistic shills are the product of an infinite number of retard fucks over time. Its your gay little religion. I think its some funny ass shit, sure. But, brother... its your gospel. I hope you stick with it, you fuckin inbred.

[On Richard Dawkin's book The God Delusion.]

YOu do not really expect that Christians are going to read dribble like that do you?

The thing about Dawkins is that everything is black and white. What he believes is either true or false. There either is a God or there is no God. Atheism is either true or false. There is no middle ground and there are no doubts.

To many people try to compromise and end up being luke warm. But you are either in or out with God, you are either for Him or against Him. You are either a friend of God or an enemy of God.

Satanic hydrophobia

The Watch Tower of October 1, 1909, said: “All who cut loose from the Society and its work, instead of prospering themselves or upbuilding others in the faith and in the graces of the spirit, seemingly do the reverse—attempt injury to the Cause they once served, and, with more or less noise, gradually sink into oblivion, harming only themselves and others possessed of a similarly contentious spirit. . . . If some think that they can get as good or better provender at other tables, or that they can produce as good or better themselves—let these take their course. . . . But while we are willing that others should go anywhere and everywhere to find food and light to their satisfaction, strange to say, those who become our opponents take a very different course. Instead of saying in the manly fashion of the world, ‘I have found something which I prefer; goodbye!’ these manifest anger, malice, hatred, strife, ‘works of the flesh and of the devil’ such as we have never known worldly people to exhibit. They seem inoculated with madness, Satanic hydrophobia [rabies]. Some of them smite us and then claim that we did the smiting. They are ready to say and write contemptible falsities and to stoop to do meanness.”

I believe Scripture. Therefore, those reports that contradict Scripture are wrong.

The way to get rid of blind faith is to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

[part of a long, rambling post about trying to keep her friend from crushing on a "bad" guy, culminating in this *shocking* revelation (paragraph breaks added)]

The guy had a CD player/radio but no one payed any mind to it except Amanda and I. When the graduation was over the 3 of us got in the bus and we went in the back. We were looking at all the stuff they brought, trying to think of a way to play a trick on them or something when Amanda noticed that he'd accidently left his CD player/radio on.
She put the headphones on and her facial expression went from normal to[shocked smiley]! She threw the headphones off her head and Molly said
"What's the matter Mander?"
Amanda didn't say anything. She just opened up the CD player to find *surprise surprise* a country CD. She knew it was because she said her Grandma used to listen to it. Of course this was the kind of proof [that the guy "isn't very nice"] that we'd been looking for for months. Before it was just our word against his. Now it was "Hey we actually found some physical proof."

Im going to be real.....frankly i think people should hear both and make up their mind...but i personally believe evolution to be CRAP.
my reasoning: Lab test to create a primordial soup have proved inconclusive
We still have apes and animals...so why didnt all of them evolve?
the proablity of all this coming by chance is equal to be putting the componet of a phone is a jar shaking it for years and it coming out right ( it isnt going to happen so stop shaking)
There are too many differences between species to have evolved considering the amount of time given by sciencetist.
And if this is true..WHERE ARE THE ALIENS!

Dawkins = Agent of Satan

He is due to speak at the Scottish Festival of Atheism next month and my church is planning a bus trip to confront this man who is quite frankly a disgrace to Great Britain. I'm surprised that the USA even let him into the country to perform his ridiculous attack on the New Life Church and he should be banned from returning. He belongs in the fires of hell, not the land of the free or the nation that is the States staunchest ally.

To me, Christian values and family values are synonymous. The Bible can do wonders for saving marriages and raising model kids.

[In all seriousness, have you ever actually read the bible, including all the parts where parents sleep with their kids, rape victims are sold to the rapist, children are killed and then replaced (by God, no less), virgins are offered up to God as a sacrifice, etc. etc.?]

yeah, by OTHER GODS. Genesis is full of that kind of stuff. most of the old testament is god's contempt for what israel is doing.
