  here is an excellent article from the salt lake tribune on the issue of having "god" mixed with politics.

  the author makes the point that gods are merely a reflection of people's egos who just happen to say whatever it is the believer wants to believe.. here are some excerpts: .

  LoveUniHateExams:

  Most British politicians keep their beliefs to themselves.

  They're more like Thomas Jefferson than US Republicans:

  "...on the subject of religion, a subject on which I have ever been most scrupulously reserved. I have considered it as a matter between every man and his maker, in which no other, & far less the public had a right to intermeddle."

  Are you trying to spoil it for those who only have Netflix? I saw the first 5 seasons. Season 6 is not yet on Netflix.

  "508 Million Year Old" Exceptionally Preserved Embryos Found

  by Perry in

  actually, they we found over 100 years ago.

  but because so many dinosaur bones have yielded soft tissue, blood cells, dna fragments etc.

  , many have predicted (including myself) when all this really broke loose in 2005, that many more similar discoveries would be made simply by going back and cracking open old fossils and having a look inside.

  maybe this was posted before on jwd, but i just came across it.

  it will make you mad, but hopefully more awareness will make people see this religion as the dangerous cult that it is:.

  You might want to change your title to include the words "years old". Your title seems to say that there are 14 martyrs.

  it should be mandatory for s.c.justices,judges and attorneys to take a four year course.

  on the history of religion,bible and the koran.iam sure they would conclude that religion.

  has little value in society.there would be no such thing as religious accommodation(lawsuits).

  Everyone should have a comparative religion class while they're in grade school, atheism included. Not to teach any particular religion; I don't believe in anything close to public prayer. It doesn't have to be a four year course; just one semester would be fine.

  Was this talk actually given ?

  i just want to confirm if this talk was true, if so, this was a very explicit proclamation that 1975 would be "the year of the end".

  At the 0:20 second mark the speaker says "because he's (Jehovah) held up before all of us...". The Spanish translation says "Jesus" even though it's Jehovah who's the subject.

  There are other trivial differences such as the speaker saying "a new year" whereas the Spanish translation "an important new year" (0:27)

  Heaven:

  Even the Donald is using the Christian label in his campaign, which is a total farce. He waved a Bible around at one of his rallies.

  And when he waved it it was upside down.

  I get your point Cofty. Even liberals, with the exception of Bernie Sanders who describes himself as a secular Jew, have gone down the God path.

  And from one of our founding fathers in the USA:

  “And here, without anger or resentment, I bid you farewell. Sincerely wishing, that as men and Christians, ye may always fully and uninterruptedly enjoy every civil and religious right, and be, in your turn, the means of securing it to others; but that the example which ye have unwisely set, of mingling religion with politics, may be disavowed and reprobated by every inhabitant of AMERICA.”
