Another question for creationists
I've been wondering lately if supporters of creationism and a literal interpretation of the Christian bible can believe that intelligent (there's that word again!) life might exist in other parts of the universe. If so, did they get the same deal from God as humans on earth did? You know, original sin...a redeeemer...and possible eternal salvation ...

Re: Fundamental Problem with Singer et al
Agreed. If you're stronger, you can kill the competition to increase your chance of survival and success- might makes right. This evolutionary principle was used to justify the greatest atrocities of the 20th century. A modest guess is 100 million people died because of the pseudo-scientific philosophy- mostly in countries during ...

Re: JW"s "beat their swords into plowshares"
My friend, Praise the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. True my friend it is all about the ''good news'' of Jesus Christ who is God but have you read the Old Testament that all the Isralites did have a say who will be King after God chose Saul as the first King over Israel which ended Theocracy? If our country requires that we vote for ...

Why Serena Won't Vote
No where in the Bible does it say not to vote. It clearly states that we are to obey those in Government authority and it is a voluntary law and our right to be able to vote. Many 'religions' take the Word of God out of context to suite their own traditions and their own lifestyles. Jesus called the religious leaders 'hypocrites' because they ...

Jehovah Witnesses ? 1% of vote
For Jehovah's Witnesses a group that would only be 1% of the population of the United States they certainly do make an impact with their evangelizing and spreading the Gospel. You can't miss Jehovah's Witnesses in the overall society of the United States. I love their evangelism and I admire the fact that they so encourage reading and public ...

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 ...

John 18:36 - why we won't vote
If you take a look at John 18:36 you will see that Jesus says that his kingdom is no part of this world: ''Jesus answered: 'My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.''' Do you ...

Re: Obama tries to get Xians to vote against their beliefs?
Did you actually read/listen to the speech? It's available, in its entirety on the 'Net. What Obama actually said was that Christians should bring their faith to the government, but they should understand that other people will bring their faith to the government as well. It's why he said: ''And even if we did have only Christians in our midst, ...

Re: Infected Tomatoes
When people stop supporting farms producing animal products, then we may have uncontaminated vegetables and fruit to eat. The US Dept. of Agriculture must have missed Topps who had the recent recall of tons of beef because their facility was dirty. We can not trust the government, we should only trust God who created us to be plant-eaters. ...

Virgin Mary?
Why is this article's link illustrated with an image of the Virgin Mary. It is an article about a Muslim practice of restoring the appearance of virginity (the hymen). Since Mary gave birth, it is unlikely she still had a hymen (unless it was miraculously kept intact.) A cynic might conclude that you were try to make an article critical of a ...
