    Layed off

    Thanks guys. It means a lot to see the support. I'll try to visit as much as I can and will surely let you know when I can come back on a permanent basis. Your prayers and thoughts mean more than you know. This isn't the first time we have been through something like this so I know God is more...

    Layed off

    I write this with a heaviness in my heart. For the last six months my wife and I have been working at a glass factory. It payed enough for us to get by and had plenty of benefits (insurance, etc.). It was easily a place I could see us retiring from. While we were working through a temp service...

    Religious Politics - The "middle" speaks out

    Amen and Amen. I remember this punk rock Christian group in the 90's that had a song that was titled G.O.P. (God's own party). The chorus went "Knock Knock, who's there? G.O.P. won't you Christians let us in. We're pro life and squeeky clean, just don't look underneath our skin. Vote vote vote...

    Religious Politics - Christian antagonists

    Are you willing to take persoanl responsibility for all tresspasses against humanity in the name of anti religion (Communism comes to mind in a quick hurry) or are you going to "pass the buck" and state that communism and other related things "aren't the same thing". But wouldn't that be what...

    Religious Politics - Christian antagonists

    Well then him and atheists have a funny way of putting it. There have been extremist groups that have claimed Christianity probably since it's beginnings. Groups like these trully anger me more than I could put into words. Actual Christians have been fighting groups like this since the...

    Religious Politics - Christian antagonists

    You know Pah, I have noticed this trend from you to exploit extremes of "Christian" theocracists and trying to make it look like all Christians are this way. While I see the logic of why you are so passionate about legalized homosexual marriage in the U.S., do you really think this is fair...

    Humans: Disembodied Spirit or An Animal?

    I'm sure ole Hank appreciate's the compliment. I guess I sort of jumped the gun with the question:o . Nice answer though; although I'm not sure how to take your assesment of religion and mythology but I'll leave that alone in this thread. I tried to give you frubals but I have to give some to...

    Are animal activist humanitarians?

    That would require a steriotyping that I am not qualified to answer. I am an animal lover too but I can't say how I would react just because I haven't been in that sort of a similiar situation. I would like to hope that I could help both human and animal. That probably depends on who you...

    You did it or it did you?

    ;) (lol) nice post. I think we are in agreement more than I originally assumed. Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    Humans: Disembodied Spirit or An Animal?

    First off I need to clairify a lack of knowledge on this subject just because of the fatc that I have never had that much of an interest in it, but I am always up for a good challenge. While I have not looked up everything I can on this subject here is what I have looked up so far. From Ibid...

    You did it or it did you?

    Great point!!! The only thing I wanted to add to it is that the statement being replied to also acknowledges the existance of "The great plan of God or fate" and that it plays a direct role in decision making even if the role is trying to be avoided. Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    Humans: Disembodied Spirit or An Animal?

    So what makes the "self"? Answer that and I'll almost bet that we come to the same conclusion through slightly different paths. Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    Humans: Disembodied Spirit or An Animal?

    While I won't debate over what exactly is "the soul", One of the most telling proofs of it's existence in my opinion is the legal system. From Hank Hanengraaff's book "Resurrection": "from a legal prospective, if human beings were merely material, they could not be held accountable this year for...

    John Lennon's Imagine

    I wonder how many would know who you were talking about if you started throwing names like Aliester Crowley, Timothy Leary, or Aldious Huxely around? Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    The most ANNOYING misconception about YOUR faith?

    Oh boy, where do I start; We're all: white criminals (people have posted threads with statistics trying to prove that one:rolleyes: ) republican theocratic rich without any real problems gay haters trying to make everybody believe what we believe war starters unrational sexists pompous etc...

    John Lennon's Imagine

    First off, I would just like to say that John's song was properly named "Imagine". Augustine: "A philosophy should not be judged by it's abuses" Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    Which Eastern Religion Makes Most Sense?

    yes, yes I am. I did vote (can you tell which one I voted for?). You mean to tell me that what I have been doing is not "commenting" on the poll?! On a side note, it would sure be nice if someone would comment on the websites I reffered to before (about the apostle Thomas making it to India...

    Which Eastern Religion Makes Most Sense?

    So, where does this "scholarly" assessment place Native American religions, somewhere in limbo? Read it again: What he stated about western philosophies/religions being criticized was that it is based on a "mood" and nothing more. I wasn't the first one to bring Christianity up. Somebody...

    Which Eastern Religion Makes Most Sense?

    Well here, let me take a quote from someone who is not just of "eastern descent", but one who was born and raised in India. Ravi Zacharias, from his book "Jesus among other gods": "We are living in a time when sensativities are at the surface, often vented with cutting words...
