You are in my Prayers
I read your article, ''What I've learned from debating religious people around the world'' with fascination. To provide you with some insight I am what is commonly called an evangelical Christian, but could not be accurately labeled as a full Calvinist. I try my best to communicate in a manner that saves others from perdition and I likewise strive ...

Church Shopping
Just like Paul Says in Timothy that people will be looking for someone to tickle their ears. With all that's going on, how can people be so blind, so much in denial? Is it fear of drastic change? or Maybe they will have to give up their petty little life in exchange for a glorious one? The Bible says also that people will be turning away from God ...

Fantastic article!
Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

Lieing Hypocrites
What an article. Talk about no research. Did the author just call up the JW PR department and copy down everything they told him? Yes, the Watchtower Society promoted the fact that the poor Witnesses in the African country of Malawi were being persecuted because they were told by the Watchtower not to buy a political I.D. card. If they did the ...

Mike's Buyers Guide to God - Part III
Hard Copy Whatever it is you want in a God, you probably want it in writing. In the form of stone tablets, sheets or scrolls of papyrus, illuminated vellum manuscripts, gold plates or cheap paperbacks, most religions can provide you with their histories and beliefs, their do's and don'ts. If this were a buyers guide to cars or ...

Mike's Buyers Guide to God - Part II
Unless you follow St. Augustine of Hippo or John Calvin, who, by the way, never even made Saint, let alone Patron Saint of Brewers as Augustine did, you have something called free will and, yes, that's an enormous burden as well as an empowering freedom. And, for God's sake, if you're firmly in that predestination camp, pass this on at once to ...

Whether you're a first time shopper or just no longer satisfied with your current spiritual affiliation, you need help. If you were looking for a new house or car your local bookstore's shelves would be ...

Too Broad A Brush Stroke, Archbishop
The Archbishops use of Beth Din to justify sharia demonstrates his complete lack of understanding of Jewish Orthodoxy, and is, ultimately, an insult, to Judaism. Jews have always submitted to the law of the land where ever they migrated. The Orthodox take only religious matters to the Beth Din. If a mutilations, beatings or “honor crimes” were ...

Re: Does Jesus Condone Capital Punishment?
ANSWER: In the context of the American penal system and American capitalist society: NO!!!!!!! Immorality and crime are tied to many things, including family upbringing, socialization, economic condition, political status, and more. Jesus (upon whom be peace and God's blessings) would likely reject the way America functions, period. And ...
