It is my belief that Jesus WAS a mortal man fathered by Joseph of the House of David. This explains why Joseph didn't have Mary stoned to death (as would have been the practice), why they had to leave the area (to avoid Mary being stoned by the community) and why Jesus was called "King of the...
I think we should let the Christian zelots have everything south of Kentucky and east of the Mississippi River so they can set up a nice theocracy and have a Dark Age Renassaince. This country was founded on the princapal of FREE religion, and if you don't like that you can move out.
It seems that your beliefs are differant then that of standard Christian doctraine if you don't belive they are one in the same being. That is the deffinition of the Trinity.

There are a ton more, but as you can see nearly EVERY scholar agrees that the Trinity is NOT mentioned in...
I belive it is very hypocritical to say that this is a country of religous freedom and then put such a religous remark on its currency. The founding fathers made it clear that there MUST be a seperation of Church and State. We label the period of time when the church ran things as the Dark Ages...
Actually, most historians tend to belive this image of God (which originates from Renissance period Europe) is actually copied from ancient Greek artists' depictions of Zeus.
Well, if the city of Denver legallized the personal posession of up to one ounce of marijuana, I would say that the Denver Police would not get involved in State and Federal cases unless it exceeds the legel limit. The intreasting thing here IS that 1 ounce limit. Why do you need that? Do they...
Do you have specific referances, or were you a witness to Jesus's ministry? I'm pretty sure that Jesus never said that all three were one and the same, as suggested by the Council of Nicaea. Before the council, called by Constatine, there where several differant views on the nature of the...
What is important about this decision by the people of Denver is that a community if finally standing up to say that it will no longer waste its taxpayers resoures on upholding of a rediculous, hypocritical ban. No longer will the people of Denver have to pay for the apprehension, prosecution...
This is obviosly the response of someone who has not been in the service. Anyone who has been in knows that, even in peace time, being in the military is far from an "easy ride financally". This is perhabs the most uneducated response I've read on this site. While deployed, a sailor on an...

Since when do we decide what rulers should be removed? If the people of Iraq wanted Saddam gone so bad they would have done it themselves. History is full of people rising up against the government. What if China decides one day that OUR President needs to be removed from office and we should...
