  anybody see the new cartoon?

  the girl has a quarter and is going to get an ice cream but then puts it in the contribution box instead.

  the gb want to make sure they guilt and suck the kids meager allowances dry as well and prep them as they grow up to keep giving!

  Another Kim Davis inspired self-invented "gay issue"

  what is it about some of these self proclaimed "christians" who go seeking persecution when it don't exist?.

  we've had a case locally in calgary where the initial reports sounded like the person had a legitimate claim: a bus driver didn't want to drive the bus in a gay pride parade and said he'd resign if they made him and that the local transit company was threatening him to force him to do it.. except it was all invented ... by him !.

  they already proactively told him that there was no danger that he would be asked to drive that bus in the parade (i.e.

  Rattigan, the 14th Amendment in its literal reading would support the rights of women voting but, since the Supreme Court did not acknowledge that, a separate amendment was enacted to circumvent their decision. They basically ran around the judges knowing they would not have made the proper decision.

  Rattigan just for argument's sake, would you support a separate amendment dealing exclusively with gay rights? How about an amendment that specifies marriage as a right for all sexual orientations?

  Implications of gay marriage ruling

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. social
  2. current

  while many think that the ruling is good for the gays and their response is: how does that affect your marriage; then on the other side the religious people cry god and sinners.

  but both are missing the forest through the trees.. the problem with the ruling is that which is discussed here so many times.

  five unelected federal officials decided on policy for the whole country, running roughshod over every democratic principle.

  Junction-Guy:

  "Evidently the dietary laws did, because God told peter he could now eat them. Those laws were for the nation of Israel, not the Gentiles."

  Nonetheless Fundamentalist Christians keep referring to the Old Testament such as Leviticus 20:13. Would you correct them when they cite those scriptures?

  ReligionOfHatred: "Hitler's works prove that he was not a Christian..."

  My understanding is that Hitler was a lapsed Catholic. He wrote, in his book Mein Kampf,

  "And so I believe to-day that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord."

  No atheist Communist would ever invoke "the Lord" no matter how demagogic he would be.

  Why bother creating all the other galaxies?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm still reading and researching the bible.

  a thought occurred to me... the universe is so huge and full yet most of it cannot be seen by the naked human eye.. while jw's could claim that god created the stars to look pretty/ for navigation... what about the rest that cannot be seen?

  the huge never ending mass of universe that the bronze age writers of the bible had no idea about?.

  One thing to think about is why God would create two galaxies crashing into each other. Or stars blowing up.

  Crashing galaxies and stars blowing up are a perfect example of how the Universe shows signs of order and disorder but not intelligence.
