(Is it at all possible for you to act like an adult here? Severe hydrocephalus isn't a condition we pulled out of our asses in order to convince anyone.)

Oh yes it was. The Pro-choice community is very good at pulling things out of their asses to keep their sacred right to kill unborn children. Back alley abortions, rape, being tossed out of your house. Teenage Pregnancy, reduce poverty, reduce population. The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on!

Here are just some of the symptoms of demonic possession I have come across: growling, eyes turning and glowing red, different voices coming from the person, self harming, contorted facial expressions (once saw a guy literally smiling from ear to ear... a bit like the 'mouth' from Lord of the Rings), blasphemous remarks about Jesus, clawing at the ground, strong sulphurous smell, chang in room temperature, sense of oppression.. these are some that I have witnessed and dealt with.

Hmm some event could make these chips not only acceptable but desirable. They might control behaviour so that a former "believer" or "homophobe" appears to be "cured" of his or her "madness". May Jesus deliver us from this!

Quote# 23953

When unexplained violence takes center stage, we tend to turn to modern psychology to explain it.

But there is an alternative explanation, one that has been played out in film, stage and writings since the beginning of history.

Was Cho Seung-Hui schizophrenic … psychotic … manic-depressive? Or were the shooting deaths of 32 people, including Cho himself, at Virginia Tech University part of the ongoing struggle between God and Satan … good against evil … lightness and darkness?

Could Cho have been possessed by the Devil? Could that explain the massacre at Virginia Tech?

Dr. Richard Roberts, president of Oral Roberts University, shouts an unequivocal “Yes!”

“Based on what I’ve seen in the news," Roberts said in an interview, "there’s no doubt that this act was Satanic in origin."

Roberts added that he doesn’t know if it was Satanic “possession” or “oppression.” Possession, he said, occurs when Satan takes over a person’s life, and the person’s actions are dictated by demonic possession within. Roberts says he’s seen this type and has seen the Devil cast out of a person.

Satanic “oppression," on the other hand, is "that which comes against." "It’s not in a person, but is coming against them, trying to put evil thoughts in their minds,” Roberts said.....

Quote# 23955

APRIL 20--The reactionary religious group that has staged protests at funerals for soldiers killed in Iraq plans to picket at tomorrow's funeral for one of the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre. The Westboro Baptist Church--which operates the godhatesfags.com web site--announced its plans to protest at student Ryan Clark's funeral in a press release (a copy of which you'll find below). Clark, 22, was a biology and English major who reportedly was trying to shield others when he was shot Monday by Seung-Hui Cho. Clark's funeral is scheduled for tomorrow morning in Evans, Georgia. The Westboro organization has protested at the funerals of soldiers because they claim that God is punishing America for "her sodomite sins" and the persecution of Westboro "for warning America of her doom."

The war in Iraq is not lost. It is the beginning of WW III, also called the Battle of Ar Mageddon, which begins where the Euprates recently dried up (in Iraq). The war against the demon-posessed "kings" of the east is eventually won by Israel and her western allies, the chief one being the US.

Islamic terrorists are the 7th head of the beast, which is said to trample the Holy Spot for 1260 years. Thank God the time is about up!

(On his desire to see non-Christians expelled from the United States)

[And if people didn’t want to freely convert to your Christianity? What then? Concentration camps? Gas Chambers? Genocide? Torture?]

I was thinking expulsion. I am not for murder. expulsion could work.

(Just kick them out.) But of course this will never happen.

[Just wondering. You seem to have given this some thought. What are your plans for my minor son. Does he go with me, or does he become a ward of the Church-State?]

I haven't sat down and written anything out, that is foolishness (because it will never happen in the U.S.A.).

Why would I take your children from you? He is your child, I suppose there could be the option to give him to the care of the state. Though of course you would have to check what denomonation he should become.

Do YOU Believe in Faeries?

I do!

Faeries are actual beings which inhabit the inner-Earth.

In every myth, there is a shred of truth.

Within the Earth is a paradise far beyond our comprehension. This is where the Garden of Eden stands to this day, and where Abraham and other patriarchs rested in peace, prior to their assumption into Heaven (through the Resurrection of Jesus). This is also where Jesus' spirit went, according to His own words, for three days before His glorious victory over death.

[Later in the thread...]

Lastly, there are remnants of Nephilim which reside on a continent within the Earth. At some point in history the Nephilim made their way back to the surface where they were worshiped as gods. Many of the world's kings were, or rather, ARE Nephilim. The Nephilim found a solution to the gigantism defect and have blended with human society. Many prominent families throughout the world are Nephilim -- loyal servants to their master, the Prince of Lies.

Quote# 23962

If there is no God, then there can be no Atheism. There is Atheism. Therefore, there is a God. To put the argument in symbolic form it looks like this: ~G --> ~A/ A/ .: G. Or, to put it another way: the necessary preconditions for the inteligibility/possibility of Atheism is Theism. Metaphors abound: theism is the lap the atheist must sit on in order to slap God in the face. Triune theism is the soil the atheist must till in order to plant weeds of unbelief. Holy Ghost oxygen is the air the atheist must breath in order to exhale insults against Christ. Et cetera.

This is just your everyday run-of-the-mill Modus Tollens argument. Pretty basic form of argumentation. Something anyone would learn in a Logic 101 class. It is valid- i.e, the conclusion follows from the premises. But is it sound?- i.e., can you hear the sound of approaching hoofbeats Wink

To put the argument in more practical terms: can one be an atheist in a world that has not already been influenced (to a greater extent than not) by Christendom? To be quite frank, how many atheists are there who are not baptized apostate Christians? In other words, if no Christendom then no atheists. There are atheists. Therefore, there must have been Christendom.

BTW, for all you atheists. The book I recommend you read is Against Christianity, by Peter Leithart. Here is a short excerpt from the opening page,

"The Bible never mentions Christianity. It does not preach Christianity, nor does it encourage us to preach Christianity. Paul did not preach Christianity, nor did any of the other apostles. During centuries when the Church was strong and vibrant, she did not preach Christianity either. Christianity, like Judaism and "Yahwism," is an invention of biblical scholars, theologians, and politicians, and one of its chief effects is to keep Christians and the Church in their proper marginal place. The Bible speaks of Christians and of the Church, but Christianity is gnostic, and the Church firmly rejected gnosticism from her earliest days."

And in the following paragraph, he says, "Christianity is the heresy of heresies."

Atheists love Christianity. Christians should love the Church and Christendom.

Sound too good to be true? That's because truth is always stranger than fiction.

Atheism is another belief system which is based on the belief of evolution. I lack belief in atheism, but if anybody can give me concrete evidence for evolution and show me a monkey turn into a human right in front of me, I'll believe. Unfortunately the theory of evolution has failed since and contradicts scientific laws. Notably the Second Law of Thermodynamics which proves there needs to be a Creator. However, I do agree atheism would be cool imagine being able to kill who you want to and have sex and commit immorality with all the women you wanted. Drugs and alcohol yeah babyy!

Indeed, highly religious minority students actually outperformed the aggregate of white students in certain academic areas, such as their desire to take college placement courses and their likelihood in being left behind a grade in school.

Viewed in this light, we can see that atheism is simply a form of racism.

This is actually not surprising. Atheists tend to be eugenicists, which is to say, they tend to be racists. Christians do not wish to “breed a race of thoroughbreds”, as Margaret Sanger urged. American Christians may have enslaved blacks, but English Christians, and subsequently American Christians, were also at the forefront of the abolition movement. Catholic Christianity invented the orphanage, the university and largely invented the hospital. Because Christians who live Christian Faith care for the well-being of every man, Christians improve every man. Contrast this to the atheists, who simply write off large segments of humanity as insufficiently well-endowed by genes or circumstance, unworthy of the social resources necessary to maintain them.

For a logically consistent atheist, altruism enables mediocrity. There are people whose best will never even approach adequacy; investing resources into these people is a dead loss from an atheistic economic perspective.

The Big Bang Theory states that there was a tiny particle (smaller than an atom some say) that became so dense that it exploded. The problem with that is that when it exploded everything, all the energy and particles, would have spread out evenly. If everything had spread out evenly then there would be no such thing as gravity. Thus, no humans, galaxies, etc.

well if ur basing ur beliefs on science, ill attack science. quite simply science is completley fickle, theories are being proven wrong all the time, for example quantam physics and the theory of relativity, the big bang theory replaced a different theory (i forget what the name is). so really its only a matter of time until a 'more accurate theory' comes out. what will u do then? what will happen to the beliefs u hold so staunchly

rather than basing ur beliefs on science, i suggest u base them on ration.

The families of those killed in the Virginia Tech massacre may not be able to grieve in peace at the funerals of those they lost. An anti-gay religious group known for protesting at the funerals of American soldiers killed in Iraq is planning on appearing at services for those killed on Monday as well.

The Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), which is not affiliated with any national Baptist organization, announced plans to protest at victims’ funerals only hours after 32 people were killed in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. They also may protest at other events on the Virginia Tech campus.

The organization, founded and led by Fred Phelps, believes the United States has condemned itself to destruction by accepting homosexuality and other “sins of the flesh.” Phelps’ daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, said the Virginia Tech teachers and students who died on Monday brought their fate upon themselves by not being true Christians.
