here are some quotes about fear.
i think the fear of god concept could spend some time under the microscope.

I totally disagree with this statement (unless you are only talking about the context of religion, but even then I disagree somewhat):
"Where fear is present, wisdom cannot be."(Lucius C. Lactantius)
In such cases like me fearing a spanking from my parents. There was much wisdom in that fear.
And I supposed even when speaking about religion, much of the fear that I had turned out to be a good thing. Fear of displeasing God kept me from sleeping around, doing drugs, etc.
do they still make family movies?
it look like things that get produced these days by holyywood filled with f word, sex, violence, drug use and hurling.
no movies hardly to take your kids to or that a christian can watch.
Comforter says:
modern movies often glorify violence. they contain unnecessary and gratuitous violence and they teach that violence is the answer to your problems. after all, what the use of showing someone with an ax splitting another person's head wide open? why show a man snacking on another man's brains? movies jest try to shock
Aren't these pretty shocking?
-Deuteronomy 22
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. [1] He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.(So a rape victim must marry her rapist? Isn't that shocking?)
Judges 4:21
But Jael, Heber's wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died. (Doesn't glorify violence? Couldn't it just have been written that she killed him? Instead it specifically says that she drove a tent peg through his head.)
Genesis 19:36
So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father. (Just one of many accounts of incest.)
Ezekiel 23:20
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. (WTF?)
Genesis 34:25
Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male. (A bit extreme.)
Genesis 37:20
"Come now, let's kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we'll see what comes of his dreams." (Kidnapping, and faking someone's death.)
Exodus 2:12
Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. (Covering up a murder and hiding the body.)
And you think the movies are bad?

if noah's flood was global, how come lots of people r pagan?.
doesn't it sound reasonable that they could have a relapse into paganism so soon after the flood?
I've always thought it was gross that Jehovah was still allowing incest.

I was just wondering AlanF if you still stand by your words regardless of the news article?

I was wondering, if humans lived at the same time as the dinosaurs as did the wooly mammoths, why are there ancient drawings of mammoths but none of dinosaur-like creatures?
scene in the airplane!

my favorite is when the bee gees music starts and they start dancing to "saying alive".
