If you have no use for a God, you have answered your own question. However, you are part of God, like it or not, from the viewpoint of those who are pandeists or pantheists. No problem there as well.

You clealr yhave not read the old testiment, as your god preaches no such thing.

Clearly I have. The old testament taught the old sacrificial law. Jesus was a reformer and taught that change was needed, He taught love. the old law was for a different time and a different genetic era. Both must be studied to make sense of prophesy and the teachings of Jesus, but Jesus was the last true word, and he taught love is the only way to save yourself and the world.

Yes, Merlin that is it. The ugly history of Christianity has nothing to do with Christianity. Sure. Right. That's it.

Actually that is one heck of deal. I see where Goerge Bush gets his concept of "accountibility."

You are only partly correct. I submit that even religious wars are fought over mans ignorance of gods word.

Mans ugly history and his hate for each other should (but has not) taught us something in the last 5000 years. Acually If we could just follow the teachings of Jesus we would become somthing glorious, if we contuniue to be bettleheaded morons the future is not as bright a Tall.

And Bush ?..When it comes to world events, he is one of the problems and one of the deceivers... look at the man...need I say more? case closed.

Yet and Bush use virtually identical language regarding Jesus Christ. Curious.

That is called politics dear sir. I might walk into my bank talking like and even looking like Donald Trump, or (the evil) bill gates, but the loan officer isn't going to loan me a cool billion.

One must be able to distinguish between the meat and the bone. You are choking on your own hate.The bone of hate, or is it the boner of hate? heh you all can use that.

What Mr.V said in his first comment. Plus why is it so hard for us humans to comprehend that we might not be the superior beings to everything?

Runa216 · May 18, 2005, 12:45 pm

Of course it is, if we are not superior, then we are worthless, and as society has proven, we need to be superior to something, it's all about power.

I wish we could live as equals, but like I Said, people desire power, and those with power want more, so there will never be equality in this world. Why do you think communism rarely works? because it is an attept at equality, but the governments are corrupt, and refuse to truly allow any form of equality.

Now I'm chuckling. Because I don't buy the soap that you and King George are selling, I am choking on hate? Very amusing, oh pagan wizard.

isn't he funny? he claims that he does not offer opinion as fact, but he still does it. he also hates to generalize and insult, but he does it so wholeheartedly, with full convictions.

oh well, who cares, if he wants to make himself look like a fool in the eyes of others, then let him. Just because he understands what he's saying and sees no alternative, doesn't mean we agree with him.
