LOL...
Heres some more finger...
it even has what looks like blood flowing from a palm wound.
article.
world-renowned astrophysicist robert jastrow, founding director of nasas goddard institute for space studies, explains the fear of faith many of todays scientists experience.. there is a kind of religion in science, it is the religion of a person who believes there is order and harmony in the universe, and every effect must have its cause; [but] there is no first cause.

i thought i'd done a thread on this before but can't find it.. so.
did jesus actually exist?.
without using the bible i'd like to see obvious proof..
Until you make the effort to find out how and why we have the bible we do today you will likely never get to the truth of anything.

Offering proof that Christians existed is not proof that Jesus did.
2000 years from now will people see the existence of Star Trek conventions and trekkies as proof that Captain kirk was real? I hope not.
yesterday evening my wife and i were invited to friends house for new year's eve.
we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.
they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that "belief" is a form of mental illness, keep it up and you may well prove it.
jesus ( sorry) wow...i have been posting here for 8 months!!!
...most of my " new topic" threads seem to miss.... why is it some posters seem to be " celebrities" here and others like me get lost in the shuffle?.
i am sure i will now get knocked down and shot with comments like ....well i guess i got it comming.
Who cares?
just read your thread about oblivion to oblivion, watched the video you posted and wondered if you'd be willing to let me send you some videos on the book of mormon.
as you may know, i'm lds and i believe there's substantial evidence for the historicity of the book.
but i'm also aware there's evidence and proof.
The Mormons seem to be suckers for fakery and fraud.

Cult recruitment does go on here and sadly some fall for it.
It is nuts that people can convert to LDS with eyes wide open, if they do it is because they have never really understood what they left behind in the JWs nor have they learnt any critical thinking skills and developed a functional BullShit meter.
so in today's wt, as brought out in another thread, it is the nations that make the declaration of "peace and security.
" yet just a few paragraphs later they claim, in answer to their own question of who declares "peace and security", that the bible doesn't say.. in the very next paragraph they say that angels are holding back the destructive winds of the great tribulation.
to answer their next question as to what those angels are waiting for they say the wait is for the "annointed" to receive their second sealing, referring to a 2007 q/r which says the second sealing is finished only when the "annointed" (including the gb) are in heaven.
I release a lot of wind, sometimes I think i even hear a trumpet blast or two.....
last night i was finally able to make it to the movies and saw 'lone survivor', starring mark wahlberg.
i did a little research beforehand about the film.
premise: 4 u.s. navy seals are trapped in the mountains of afghanistan during a botched attempt to capture a taliban leader.
OK I watched it and it started out great in the opening credits etc then it was downhill all the way with occaisonal blips upward. Typical US propaganda fare that spoils a lot of films.
Wahlberg cant really act, he is always the exact same character in all his films with differing levels of comedy depending on role, 2 Guns was a better example of his recent work.
The book is probably a better option.
I give it 5 /10
after two months of not coming to my house, today about two hours ago, one of the elders that came two months ago came to my house.
he was in serve-us with other brothers from the spanish cong and came into my house with a friend of mine (not another elder).
he said he wanted to talk to me, and he said it in front of my mom and my dad (both were there).. what was interesting is that it seems like it will be a one-on-one for half-hour.
They arrange a meet with you and you dont know what it's about or who exactly will be meeting with you?
Thy dont charge you $$$s to ask questions you know.
When you get sales calls from strangers on the phone are you the type who says OK and cant get yourself off the phone until you've bought something from them? If you aren't then you give a good impersonation of one.
