Quote# 38854

And it doesn't scare me at all when scientists say, "Oh, but that can't be proved," because neither can any of the Darwinian hypotheses about how life began be proved. Anyway, I couldn't give a [profanity] whether a person calls himself a scientist. It doesn't earn any extra respect from me, because it's not as if science has covered itself with glory, morally, in my time. Scientists were the people in Germany telling Hitler that it was a good idea to kill all the Jews. Scientists were telling Stalin it was a good idea to wipe out the middle-class peasants. Scientists were telling Mao Tse-Tung it was fine to kill 50 million people in order to further the revolution.

I've come to the conclusion that the most hated man in history wasn't Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Napolean, any of the Ceasers, none of the despots that tortured the world throughout history.

The most hated man in history was Jesus of Nazareth.

Guess you weren't "listening" when you read the OP. Please read it again, and
understand it for the facts within it, and come out from under the mushroom
and into reality. This should be a health concern for everyone and should not
be a political or personal matter.

Straight people do not give aids to other straight people.
This is not a recorded fact whatsoever. If a "straight person" gives another
"straight person" HIV, then one of them isn't exactly straight,
or engaged in sexual activity with another who wasn't exactly straight
unless one of them is a victim of tainted blood.

Homosexual males are the source of HIV/AIDS.

If you don't like the factual data, take it up with the
Health Dept. and the Center for Disease Control.

No sexual immorality/fornication/adultery which is ALL sex outside the
covenant marriage between a man and a woman as ordained by God is
good for society on a whole. That is why God said, FLEE sexual immorality.
(or fornication-same thing)

1 Corinthians 6:18-20
18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he
that commits fornication sins against his own body.

19What? Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which
is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?
20For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are God's.

If any of us here claim to have been washed in the blood of Jesus and made partakers of the Holy Ghost, then we need to pay particularly close attention to verses 19-20 as they absolutely apply to us who bear His name. So, we need to change our ways, or change our name. We cannot serve two masters, just as Jesus said. We will love the one and despise the other or vice versa. (or hey I know! create a new Jesus...but no that one, the one created by the minds of men, who choose not to walk in the light, cannot save a flea much more a soul)

In the majority of cases, no I don't believe daughters should go to college. But I won't say that it's a sin if they do. Obviously, the Lord does have different plans for each of us, and college can be the route for some to take... but more often then not I think it's just something daughters do because it's what everyone does and they don't have anything else to do.

It's not very impressive (to most) to tell them you stay at home and help your parents. They get this blank stare and look at you like you sit at home all day and read novels. It's a lot more accepted to say what you're majoring in.

I do believe it's wrong for girls to move away from their fathers and out of his protection. I wouldn't believe that to be a good idea. So if college is to be attended I think it needs to be one close to home, or through correspondence.

I'm not against futhering ones education, but that doesn't always have to be done by going to college.

As you said in the part of your article you posted... women were created to be help meets, so before that comes to pass what should we be preparing for?

Whatever happened to the old fashioned idea of daughters staying at home and being a help to their mother and father and blessing the community around them until they had a husband to take care of? I know it's practically unheard of today, but I find it to be much more Biblical. Women didn't use to go to college and I think women as a whole were a LOT more happy than most women today.

I couldn't agree more. I often say that it is more likely that a unicorn is dancing on a rainbow outside of my window than that God does not exist. At least is is rationally possible that such a unicorne exists but that I cannot see him. But it is rationally impossible that God does not exist.
I told my confirmation students that in order to be an honest atheist, one has to remove one's brain, pour it into a blender, turn on the blender, pour it on the ground, let a dog comsume it and barf it up, then pour it back in to his or her head.

Quote# 38853

Q: The Supreme Court has ruled that it’s my right to privacy — who do you think you are to say otherwise?
A: On June 7, 1965, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the Griswold v. Connecticut decision. The Supreme Court justices first presumed that previous Court decisions dealing with a citizen’s right to liberty and security that prohibited invasion of one’s home and acquisition of evidence that might later be used to convict him of a crime also addressed privacy within marriage. In fact, the justices argued, “The concept of liberty is not so restricted… it embraces the right of marital privacy though that right is not mentioned explicitly [emphasis added] in the Constitution” and is based on “specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights [which] have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance.” 5

This confusing language, which has no relationship whatsoever to what the Founding Fathers intended, gave married women permission to use the birth control pill. The Supreme Court literally created the “right to privacy” out of thin air.

We now know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that not only did the Supreme Court literally make up the right that you claim gives you permission to use birth control, but the most popular form of birth control, the pill, can kill innocent preborn children. If there is a chance that human beings are going to be murdered, I am going to do everything in my power to help prevent that from happening. If you knew there was a chance that someone might poison your neighbor, don’t you think you would try to notify your neighbor and do as much as you could to help save a life?

[Surely one of the virtues of the Christian faith is to keep an open mind to the beliefs (and non-beliefs) of others.]

Why? Having an "open mind" is not a virtue. In fact, it's foolish.

Do you have a door on your house? Do you leave it open all the time? Or do you shut it, or even (gasp!) lock it sometimes?

Of course you do, because you know that it isn't wise to let just anybody enter your house.

In the same way, there are many times where it's perfectly appropriate to shut that door of your mind in order to keep harmful things from entering in.

[On a poll about people's sexual preference.]

If you put up another poll asking about religion, you'd find that almost everybody who is saying they are gay or bi are also atheist.

If you want to believe scientists, 10% of the population is gay.
It just so happens, that atheists make up about 10% of the population.

I contacted the agency and they relayed that I was let go because I passed out the tracts. They said that if I want to continue to do business in the future with their temp agency, I cannot pass out tracts in the building where I have an assignment.”

But one I will try to explain happened a few Sundays ago when we had a guest speaker.
He tells us to turn to Malachi 4:6 and I am like ohmy.gif because I had read that verse just the day before. So I am like okay, thats cool. Then he tells us to turn to another verse and it was one that I had read in the past week, so I'm like, wow. And this happens all meeting. I think every single verse he read out was one that I had been reading in the past week. So I was like WOW LORD!

[article: Is Wikipedia wicked porn?; Online encyclopedia proudly posts graphic sexual images kids can see]

Wikipedia, the online "free encyclopedia" written and edited by its users that contains 9 million articles in 253 languages, now includes detailed photos of nude homosexual men engaging in sex acts and a variety of other sexually explicit images and content.

One Wikipedia entry states, "A fluffer is a hired member of the crew of a pornographic movie whose role on the set is to sexually arouse the male participants prior to the filming of scenes requiring erections."

A photo of two nude men having anal sex on a bed, and a "fluffer" handing them a towel, is shown to the right of the entry.

Matt Barber, a constitutional law attorney who serves as Concerned Women for America's policy director for cultural issues, expressed outrage at Wikipedia's decision to allow sexually explicit images.

"Children use Wikipedia all of the time for reportsfor school, and this stuff is not just pornography, this is hard-core pornography," he said. "Much of it may even be in violation of our nation's obscenity laws."

give me one example of a mutation adding information to the genome in mammals.

(Pandas are a good example, their ability to grip things with their paws is considered to be a mutation that has benifited them, even if they are going extinct at the moment. Just look around. Mutations happen all the time, most of them do nothing, some of them are hinderances, and some of them are benificial. Just take a basic biology class or something.)

but thats just messing with existing code, thats all a mutation ever is.

(more refuting of his dumbassery)

i can change the word Christmas in many different arrangements, but you will NEVER get, queen or zebra, the letters or code is simply not available.

you still did not give me an example of a genetic code altering mutation that was beneficial.

But results have been disappointing, even tragic, for some. A father wrote me, telling the sad story of how his homeschooled “Christian” son, eighteen years old, went off to a “Christian school” and after one year came home professing atheism. He had been “enlightened” with psychology, manuscript evidences, and philosophy. He had become sexually involved, approved of sodomy, and his choice of reading and viewing was pornography. He ridiculed the faith he seemingly held from his youth. This is one true story among an increasing number.

(Submitter note: Manuscript evidence refers to the common practice of textual criticism, which is the attempt to study and weed out copying errors by comparing different ancient texts. In other words, this kid's faith has been shattered by discovering the mere *possibility* of a typo.)

Why ask atheists when you can read Hebrews 11:1 and have it from Paul himself?

Don't think 'illogical' is a slur. Not caring about logic is one of Christianity's greatest strengths, and one of the worst things one can do for the faith is to try to justify it through logic.

This should not even be a question .

(Matt Taibbi, reporter for Rolling Stone, is undercover at a "revival weekend" sponsored by John Hagee's church in San Antonio, Texas)

"In the name of Jesus Christ, I cast out the demon of cancer!" said Fortenberry.

"Oooh! Unnh! Unnnnnh!" wailed a woman in the front row.

"Bleeech!" puked the bald man behind me.

Within about a minute after that, the whole chapel erupted in pandemonium. About half the men and three-fourths of the women were writhing around and either play-puking or screaming. Not wanting to be a bad sport, I raised my hand for one of the life coaches to see.

"Need . . . a . . . bag," I said as he came over.

He handed me a bag.

"In the name of Jesus, I cast out the demon of handwriting analysis!" shouted Fortenberry.

Handwriting analysis? I jammed the bag over my mouth and started coughing, then went into a very real convulsion of disbelief as I listened to this astounding list, half-laughing and half-retching.

"In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, I cast out the demon of the intellect!" Fortenberry continued. "In the name of Jesus, I cast out the demon of anal fissures!"

Cough, cough!

The minutes raced by. Wayne Williams was now fully prostrate, held up only by a trio of coaches, each of whom took part of his writhing body and propped it up. Another bald man in the front of the chapel was now freaking out in Linda Blair fashion, roaring and making horrific demon noises.

"Rum-balakasha-oom!" shouted Fortenberry in tongues, waving a hand in front of Linda Blair Man. "Cooom-balakasha-froom! In the name of Jesus Christ, I cast out the demon of philosophy!"

Philosophy?
