what if jesus really did assend into the sky....

Quote from CaptainObvious:

I think that behind every atheist is a seething anger and resentment towards God. The unanswered prayer drives them over the edge, as if they should be exempt from life's pain and suffering. You can see it in the poetry of atheists like Philip Appleman. I watched him on Bill Moyers last night and the contempt was just flowing out of him.

Anyone who writes like this is a zealot..

The following portion of "Gertrude," is dedicated to his mother:

I wish that all the people

who peddle God

could watch my mother die:

could see the shin and

gristle weighing only

seventy-nine, every stubborn

pound of flesh a small

death.

I wish the people who peddle God

could see her young,

lovely in gardens and

beautiful in kitchens, and could

watch

the hand of God slowly

twisting her knees and fingers

till they gnarled and knotted,

settling in

for thirty years of pain....

Title of News; Better a rebuke revealed then love concealed.

Good rebuke, not sure if you were referring to Mr. Appleman or Mr. Moyers..
Speaking of rebukes. I love what the Word of the living God says[aka the holy Bible]''they have a a zeal, but not according to knowledge''

And what is really a shame is how simple minded & lazy minded many people are, when it comes to [1]health, [2]the Bible to mention just a few /2 subjects.

Then you have many in the media & gov who cant seem to grasp the concept of;health insurance is to health care ,
like tow trucks [wreckers]are to car care.

For example ,Gods word is full of health, medicine, healing, Dr Luke;
they [big pharma]got the main pain killer in aspirin from a willow tree.

Mr Appleman[apple peddler?] reminds me of the teenage girl who stormed into the Texas preacher's office, many months pregnant , and said ''look what God did to me''LOL

:D

"if Jesus were caught up at the speed of light -- 186,000 miles per second -- with what we know today about the vastness of our galaxy -- Jesus would still be traveling today just to reach the outer limits of the Milky Way! Furthermore, there are billions and billions of galaxies!"Carl Sagan

do christians ever really think about these facts and ask...

Free T;

God lives outside of time, as Jem noted.;
a philistine may get excited about a mortal man /watchmaker. [Not that Sagen was as useful as the average watchmaker].Some like to study what Price Headly call ''Big Trends.

Also if you study Mr Al bert Einstein... When you get going fast enough-suprise, suprise = time changes into eternity....[Paraphrase]

Or to put it simple, as John Bender[Jack Schwager top trader]noted ;
option traders have already proved ''time is not a constant''''. Starting to see any patterns,
,Free T?????????????????????????????????

Also good question ,on how God answers prayer for farmers in need of rain ;
& girl's rain free wedding[at same time]?? .Lord God rains in the night time, answers both prayers, same time[in a 24 hour day].

Forrest Gump is a 1994 film starring Tom Hanks about a mentally challenged man's epic journey through life, meeting historical figures, influencing popular culture, and experiencing first-hand historical incidents while largely unaware of their significance.

Oh, it is definitely your opinion. :D

You are appending an imaginary "Obey Commandment 1, and kill those who you think don't!" because of your own bias.

But that's ok. :D

LoL That's not what I said at all.
It's straightforward enough. What's your problem in comprehending.

Bible block?

it pretty much played out when you and others like you made it clear you never allow yourself to ask and answer the question"how is that possible".
but we already knew that it takes a certain amount of willful ignorance the believe the bible literal.

No, really, stop it. You're being far too modest. You always do that way before I possibly could.

Trying to dodge the evidence of your bias?? :D

The "history" you describe is made by people who append whatever they want to justify onto the end of those 2 commandments - and you are justifying their justifications and rationalizations are representative of the original intent.

Perhaps you are insecure that Atheism is a derivative religion (belief system), because it requires Theism to exist first, making Atheism a second-hand religion....

But like I said, that's ok..... :D

Calling atheism a religion is like calling abstinence a sexual position.

Calling Atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color

Calling atheism a religion is like saying that “not-stamp-collecting” is a hobby

And yet none of that negates that Theism must exist first, before Atheism can.

A-theism = A(fter)Theism... :D

Therefore, Atheism = Second-hand religion.....

Also...has anyone noticed that Stu has been PREACHING?

Yes - attempting to convert people to his religion.

For myself, it matters not what others believe, as my beliefs are my own.

But for some reason, Preachers will always Preach.........
