it is interesting to see that the sick minds in pentagon u.s. have named a powerful bomb mother of all bombs (m.o.a.b).
it is something beyond any human imagination.... how come and you name a bomb that brings dead to human lifes, like now in iraq, were more than 1000 died and 5000 injured most of them women and children.
i quess this is how bush will set the iraqi people free, by killing them.
What did Jesus say about war, exactly? Um, NOTHING? Except that it was coming as God's judgement on Israel.
Jesus didn't say nearly as much as people think he did. He wasn't worried about wars. He was worried about daily life under the Jewish system of things. As far as modern geopolitics go, his advice ain't worth much.
And your whole hope for the future is based on a war. Armageddon, where the blood runs up to the bridles of the horses? The Jews practiced one of the earliest forms of genocide when they conquered Canaan. Justified? maybe. But if so, then so is the war in Iraq!

the truth will set you free weekly # 1 -- only 144,000 go to heaven?
disclaimer: i am not an expert on the bible.
1st peter 1:3: blessed be the god and father of our lord jesus christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of jesus christ from the dead,.
I don't trust the Bible. I've never seen anyone be resurrected, I've never seen a miracle cure. The closest that humans have come to anything like that is thanks to science - antibiotics and whatnot. And science says we evolved from dumb beasts and die just like them.
I don't think that Solomon meant that there was life after death at all - even if he existed and wrote this book of Ecclesiastes. The whole book is full of statements like "No knowledge nor devising... in Sheol" and "There exists nothing but to eat, drink, and see good for all the hard work" and that everything is vanity and striving after wind. It sounds like the world-weary writings of somebody that didn't believe in much after death at all.
I mean, even your example shows how this writer was questioning life after death, saying that nobody knows where the spirit of men and animals goes after we die. His whole point was that living life to the fullest now was the essential thing, and everything else was meaningless because we die and take nothing with us.
As for why God would create us to fade into oblivion - as Voltaire said, "You arrogant atom!" What on earth gives you the impudent idea that your tiny life actually matters? In a universe where galaxies collide, where the very stars themselves burn out and die, where random meteorite strikes wipe out entire ecosystems - why WOULD our short lives be so special that we should be granted immortality, which the planet we came from does not have?
Who can speak for God? Who can say, "God will do this," or "God will do that." If God created the universe, what makes you think he even noticed US?
On the other hand, if he did condescend to notice our tiny intelligence and frail bodies, what would be the point of making this entire universe to serve as a kind of breeding ground for angels? Why didn't he just make angels to begin with? If mankind is the center of the universe, then God has some serious wasted space on His hands. Stars burning out and nobody to notice their passing?
No, mankind is NOT the meaning of the universe. Immortality is NOT our destiny. Only death. Like everything from atoms to galaxies, we will entropy and die having served some purpose that only the Great Designer can fathom.

the invasion forces suffered another self-inflicted disaster in the battle for hearts and minds yesterday when soldiers from the us 3rd infantry division shot dead iraqi seven women and children.
I'm working as an NA (not certified because this hospital is too cheap) because I thought I should do something akin to "community service" in order to expand my horizons. Someday I'll get a real job, but this will do for now. I'm learning a lot about how to take care of people and stuff, which is useful experience.

? I mean your following a born again christian red neck, that pronounce military force, military farce.
Ah, the good old fashioned elitist condescension towards those of a rural or Southern background. Well done, Troll Hound, well done. What's next, a rousing chorus of "Give Peace a Chance" ? No wonder you people can't win an election, with your alienating attitudes and snotty demeanors.

of course there are many important issues facing the world today but the most important, obviously, is:.
who is the greatest football team of all time.
of course it's liverpool football club, but i'm sure i may be called an idiot or worse.
I hereby declare that Sheffield Wednesday is the best football team ever.
Because of their name.

I was a CNA about 8 years ago, you get paid for what you do, you aren't volunteering.
I get paid close to minimum wage, which since I have a four year degree, makes this job like volunteer work. I have done it for the past year because I couldn't join the army and I heard there was a nursing shortage.
You didn't ask if I got paid, you asked what I did to help America. You should know how crappy this job is, and I only stuck with it because I thought I was doing some good.

*Pats Trauma Hound on the head for being a very noble person.*
I work as a nurses' aide in a metropolitan hospital, helping everybody from AIDS patients to elderly women with hip fractures. If that ain't helping America, I don't know what is.
Which reminds me of something I wanted to tell everybody: If you get old, DON'T go into a home. The worst crap happens there. Better to die free. Really.

you know, living forever sounds really great.
but really, what would life be like without death?
death really helps to define who we are.
I'm still thinking about that eternal blow job. It's almost a Zen concept.

It's still only 4% of our GDP. Not nearly enough, in my opinion. I want sharks with frickin' laser beams comin out of their heads!
