Satan had to envision another way to ensnare and mislead God's creation, and what better way than with dinosaurs. He couldn't delude and trick those who lived during the pre-flood era.

After the flood, most of the dinosaurs were either killed by man or died off on their own, so for the next 4,000 years, dinosaurs were rare.
Many species went totally extinct too. Then in 1809, dinosaur bones were found and put together. This was the devil's chance to deceive people and he succeeded in doing so.

If people believe that dinosaurs lived billions of years ago, it will make people question the Bible. Now children are sitting in their classrooms learning about how dinosaurs lived millions or billions of years ago when in fact that's a lie.
Think about it. Since satan is the ruler of the nations, he's going to do whatever it takes to steer people away from trusting God's Word.

Today teachers are teaching children and young students that dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Did you know in 1770 textbooks taught that the earth was 70,000 years old? If you grab a 1905 textbook, you'll read in there that the earth is 2 billion years old.

64 years later in 1969, a textbook says that the earth is 3.5 billion years old. The Minneapolis Tribune stated on August 25, 1969 that the official age of the earth and moon was 3.5 billion years old.
Today it says 4.6 billion years old.
Did you know the earth is getting older by the rate of 21 million years per year for the last 220 years?
That's 40 years per minute!

[The user "Snowflakes" asked the following question, and the name of the TV show in question was removed by an admin]
I've got another question which is somehow related to this topic. I found out that my favourite actor is an atheist. The co-star of the show is Christian and the tv show he's staring is pretty harmless. So this news bothers me a bit cause I had no idea about this. How would you react if you found out your favourite actor is an atheist? Would you still watch the programme?


***Name of show removed by admin. The question can be asked without mentioning/promoting the show...which in my opinion isn't harmless according to Phil. 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things."

To prevent anything from happening or even the wrong assumptions, unrelated male and female should NEVER be alone together outside of a public area regardless of age. Unrelated adults of the opposite sex should NEVER be alone or secluded with a child or teen. If you follow these as a young person and then as an adult, then you and others will be without fault of any event or question/assumption.

Let me put it this way: None of America's founding fathers supported – strongly or not – the notion of separation of church and state. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Bupkis.

If someone out there in Internet-land would like to challenge that statement, please simply provide some evidence. And please don't tell me about Thomas Jefferson's 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut. It is in this letter – and only in this letter – that any founder ever used the phrase "separation of church and state."

[Farrah then goes on to misinterpret Jefferson's Deism as Christianity and makes no mention of Jefferson's revision of the Bible to take out all the hocus-pocus]

Students raid Islamabad 'brothel'

Dozens of young women from a religious school in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, have broken into an alleged brothel and kidnapped the owner.
The women, from the nearby Jamia Hafsa madrassa, burst in late on Tuesday, demanding the premises be shut down.

The women say they have a right to end immoral activity under Islamic law.

The BBC's Navdip Dhariwal in Islamabad says it is the first time such bold Taleban-style activity seen elsewhere in Pakistan has occurred in the city.

The Jamia Hafsa school has been at the centre of controversy in recent months.

In February, armed students prevented the authorities from demolishing an illegally constructed mosque and occupied a nearby children's library.

They have also demanded that local video owners close their stores.

Does believing that "God is on our side" make it easier for us to inflict pain and suffering on those perceived to be our enemies? If we think God sanctions violence, are we more likely to engage in violent acts?

The answer to both those questions, according to new research, is a resounding "yes," even among those who do not consider themselves believers.

[...]

[Social psychologist Brad Bushman] assembled teams of researchers at two very different universities, Vrije University in Amsterdam, Holland, where he also holds a professorship, and Brigham Young University in Utah.

[...]

[S]tudents read a description of the beating and raping and murder of a woman in ancient Israel. Half of the students read a version of the story that included an assertion that God commanded the friends of the woman to take revenge. The other half read a version that did not mention God sanctioning violence. Half of the students were told the account came from the Bible, and half were told it came from an ancient scroll.

"What we found is that people who believed the passage was from the Bible were more aggressive [than those who did not know it came from the Bible], and when God said it is OK to retaliate they were even more aggressive," Bushman said. "We found that both at Brigham Young, which is a religious school, and at Amsterdam, where only half believe in God.

"Even among nonbelievers, if God says it's OK to retaliate, they are more aggressive. And that's the worry here. When God sanctions aggression, when God says it's OK to retaliate, people use that as justification for their own violent and aggressive behavior."

I can't think of any scientist who disagrees with the idea that everything in the universe started from a single point. Maybe there's one out there. But if the universe started from a single point, why did it start? To me, because the universe started, it automatically means it has a purpose.

How did the unconscious become conscious? As smart as Darwin was, neither he nor anyone else can explain that one. But if you think life began through thunderstorms and sheer dumb luck then life is meaningless. There is no religion, no morality, no reason - you have boxed yourself in a corner because there is no point to anything.

I once heard a creationist explain his theory that dinosaurs were really giant size lizards and other reptiles. He said that that because of the climate of the "pre-flood" world, things lived longer. Because reptiles keep growing their whole life, and would live many years, they would be gigantic, thus what we call dinosaurs. After the flood the climate changed, and things did not live as long. And just a thought on the dinosaurs mentioned in Job: didn't he live before the flood? (I'm not sure about that, but I think Job is the oldest book in the Bible)

1) We should fight terrorism every where it raises its ugly head. But I mean really fight it. Be as brutal as they are.

2) Fight terrorism w/ covert operations and assissinate their leaders when possible. If there's a training camp, blow it off the face of the Earth. If you're caught in our country, you go to jail until you die.

3) Sadam thing was fine with me, but why waste time w/ the trial.

4) Iran - nuke their nuclear facilities. Make a crater where they used to be. Overthrow their government and let the people decide what kind of gov't they want. We control the oil, but we'll make sure you get a lot of the profits unless you start screwin with us again.

Afghanistan - we should have completely leveled the mountains where bin laden is/was hiding on 9/12. No warning, no nothin', just had it rain nuclear bombs on the whole place.

Sudan - force the UN to go in with us and straighten the mess out.

5) see #1, hunt them all down and kill them or put them in prison until they die.

6) it's war, kill them

7) Iraq now - take care of Iran would be one huge step. Send enough troops over to completely blanket the place and hunt down all the bad guys. They can have their country back once we wipe this cancer off the face of the Earth, until then go to work and make something of yourself and your country.

8) Israel should be protected at all costs. Instead of giving up land, they should expand and take more land from the muslim countries. Every time one of the muslim countries steps out of line, invade them and take over. After you do that about two times, I'm sure the rest will behave.

9) Gay marriage - marriage is defined in the US as a man and a woman. Don't like it, move to France or Switzerland or wherever your little heart desires.

10) Abortion - well that's murder. Here's an idea, don't get pregnant. As in the case of rape, well let's just say that wouldn't happen a lot if I were in charge. We would have HUGE prisons and LONG sentences and very few paroles. Nip that in the bud right now!

11) Poverty - if you are able and willing to work get a job. There will be a lot of them, because we wouldn't have illegal aliens in my country and companies would face heavy taxes if they outsource to other countries. I would help educate and train people so they can get a job. After a few years, they should be able to support themselves. You get three years of welfare and food stamps, so you need to get busy.

12) Homelessness - see #11. Those that are mentally unfit to take care of themselves would be taken care of. A lot of homeless have mental problems, they need to be helped and cared for.

You didn't ask, but drug use would be penalized as harsh as dealing. Go ahead and smoke that joint, I hope the high lasts 5 years. Snort that coke, I hope the high lasts 20 years, because thaat's how long you're going away for. We'll cut the demand really fast.

[On Pokemon]

You can tell a tree by its fruits. The fruits of this passion for Pokemon are want, anxiety, avarice, envy, jealousy, rage, self-exaltation, pride, conceit, and an abiding belief in evolution. The practice consumes time and interest, thus promoting idleness, disrespect, escapism, despair, and loneliness. (cf. Galatians 5:16-26)

At it's base level, Pokemon trains the sinful flesh to elevate itself to become the Master ("like God", cf. Isaiah 14:12-15)...

Nintendo has capitalized on the vulnerability of the novice. The clerks at Barnes and Noble Bookseller's promote Pokemon as an entry level game designed to prepare the uninitiated for the game called "Magic: the Gathering." "Magic: the Gathering" trains the apprentice for "Dungeons & Dragons" and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons." Like "Harry Potter" of the modern best seller fiction novels, the Masters of "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" are ready to be empowered for white witchcraft. The popularity of such spiritual games has laid the groundwork for many who have fallen into the coven of Wicca. (cf. Deuteronomy 18:9-14)...

There is nothing "magic" about the despair and death that lies at the end of the game. God's Word warns us against:

Simply sampling a little foolishness. (peri, eg. Proverbs 1:22, Proverbs 7:7, Proverbs 14:15);

Lest we begin to enjoy foolishness. (kesil, eg. Proverbs 10:23; Proverbs 14:8,l6);

If we enjoy foolishness, then we will begin to defend foolishness (ewil, eg. Proverbs 12:15, Proverbs 14:9).

Once we are our own defense of our own foolishness, we have become the "Godless fool" with all his promotions of self and sorcery. (nabal, eg. Psalm 14:l).

Kids need spankings to grow up properly, that is one thing that can be seen by merely going into a supermarket or movie theater and watching how they behave. Five swats with a wooden paddle is not abusive in the least and, contrary to popular belief, it is perfectly legal. I say, spank away, but make sure the child really deserves it. They can understand a spanking when it is fair.

Er, God is never wrong, but people are. What if we always acted on our feelings? Sometimes I feel like hitting people, but that wouldn't be good just because I felt it would be good. If a woman feels called by God to be a minister, she needs to consult the Bible, pray, seek pastoral council to confirm her calling- it's very likely that God wants her active in ministry, but biblically, God says women shouldn't teach men. And God doesn't change, so, yeah.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A hundred residents of a Russian village have refused to switch to new passports because they believe the documents' bar codes contain satanic symbols, state television reported Wednesday.

"We believe these new passports are sinful," Valentina Yepifanova, an elderly resident of the village Bogolyubovo, told Rossiya television as she clutched an old, tattered passport she said she wanted to keep.

"They have these bar codes and people say they contain three sixes. We are against that."

Some residents of Bogolyubovo, which means "God-loving" in Russian, have also stopped collecting their pensions at the local post office because the payment slips also have bar codes that might contain the mark of the devil, Rossiya TV reported.

Well, basically, the world is run by pagans who perform sacrifices on altars, who lie in coffins naked while telling their darkest secrets to their brotherhood, and they drink blood from skuls, rape little children, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. And they run the world, own all mass media, banks, all insurance agencies, all food that you eat, the government (hence courts, police, army, etc) and they want to kill 80% of humanity. Right now they keep people uninformed about everything. Kids are being thought socialism, homosexuality and conformity in schools, they feed us drugs in our food and water to make us docile slaves, the list goes on. Worst part, talk to "normal" people about this stuff and they won't believe you.
