"In response to Hallmark now selling gay wedding cards"
er it’s forcing me to explain to my kids why two men or two women are doing what they are doing.
I have to explain that nature did not intend for two of the same sex to be together and that they like to be together for perverted sexual acts
PS Epigenetics is telling us something the Bible has been telling us all along. Just about everything you become via life choices gets epigenetically passed down to your children. Even attitudes cause heritable epigenetic changes. Thus, parents can be a blessing or a curse to their children in more ways than one. Very eye-opening stuff.
If you want to have fun, just ask an athiest if animals have the same rights that we do; then ask at what stage of evolution did Man get more rights than the rest of the animals. Snap Crackle Pop
A person has the right to remain ignorant regarding science and believe in any kind of religion they want, but keep it out of the public schools.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Solution: Begin the process of privatizing K-12 education!
The **problem** is that we have compulsory, police enforced, government indoctrination camps! Get rid of them and **thousands** of conflicts that can have no compromise will evaporate like dew on grass on a hot summer’s day!
There is absolutely NO POSSIBLE WAY for government to teach about the origins of man in a religiously neutral manner free of religious, cultural, and political consequences.
Those that claim that it is possible to have a religiously neutral education are hopelessly stupid or deceitful.
Government schools are a freedom of conscience and First Amendment abomination!
If you were much of a Bible reader, you would know that the first copy was written on stone by the finger of God.
The libs appease Islamic terrorists when they kill innocents. I wonder if this church will therefore appease those who share this freak’s views?
[After a science grad student posts about how there is evidence for the theory of evolution because he has actually handled some of it, this asshat says the following.]
“Belief gets in the way of learning.”
It sure does.

"Atheists are more despicable even than muslims."
"Atheists killed more people in the last century than anyone else ever killed in the whole history of the world. Atheists have killed more people than all the world's religions put together.
Atheism is the worst evil humankind has ever imagined and it has caused more misery and destruction than any other idea ever has."
" Communism is a subset of atheism. Not all atheists are communists but all communists are atheist. So technically atheists have killed more people than communists."
"I don't need a theocracy because I already live in a Christian nation.
You have the freedom to be Godless because you live in a country founded upon Christian principles."

When I a freshman took a course in Geology in the fall of 1953, I was astonded that the order of evolution was in harmony with the Bible’s order of creation, at the time I thought this was reasonable.
About 7 years later (1960) In my research, I read “Enspiration vs Evolution” by Dr. W. B. Riley, (copywrite 1923). He pointed out that in Darwin’s Theory it is stated over several hundred times, “we may well assume.” In the Holy Scriptures it is stated over and over, “thus saith the Lord.” (Shall we live on assumptions, or by every word of God?)
Dr. Riley also taught the results of teaching evolution as a fact, and the results of teaching creation. He said, those that are taught evolution, in lieu of creation, would turn to Athesism, Communism,and Anarcy. And that has, and is happening.
God’s word, and His creation have lasted thousands of years,
and our children (as well as adults) are taught “In the beginning God” and the the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and he became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7)
Yes, “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and the host of them by the breath of His mouth.” (Psalm 33:6)
A blessed result of teaching creation (God’s word) is given in Proverbs 16:6, “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.”
To illustrate the inadequacy of this example, I would ask you how many genetic mutations were involved in the evolution of this species from the previous one, and what are the corresponding phenotypes?
...In order to give a minimum amount of credibility to evolutionism, fossil evidence of transitional forms must be found at least in the tens of thousands, but preferably in the tens of millions.
I challenge you to provide just ten separate examples of transitional forms.
Their evidence is asking stupid questions like "If God created the universe, then who or what created God"? (Evolutionists try to corner you into believing you must provide scientific evidence for God's existence.)
Answer: God is God. God is the Creator. If God needed someone or something to create Him, He would not be God. You don't need science to explain God.
[post #63]
No, they don't have to "learn" about other religions. They just have to learn about the one true religion and worship Him, and Him alone.
The only thing one needs to learn about islam is that allah is a demon and not God in any form or fashion and that those who follow the evil “prophet” are liars, murderers, cowards and fools.
[post 45 in the thread]
Exactly! Mothers seldom want to hear this, but boys NEED to have fist fights growing up. They DO NOT need to talk about their feelings or other such nonsense. As a rule, there is no reason that a six or seven year old boy should even WANT to spend time with a girl of the same age who is not his sister.
I once attended the funeral of a young girl who had died of leukemia. She was a beautiful, intelligent homeschooled teenager who had so much promise. But her family were atheists and her funeral was so full of secular readings, etc., and nothing of faith or hope or even eternal life. This couple had no comfort, had no faith or even hope of seeing their loved one again. It was the saddest funeral I’ve ever seen because it was devoid of hope. The parents are now divorced.
Around the same time, a young girl near us, Sarah Ann Wood, was kidnapped and murdered. They have never recovered her body. But her parents were able to go through this praising God in spite of it all. He was a pastor and they both had a great relationship with their Lord. They KNOW they will see their child again. That’s the difference.
[about a girl who died from a self-induced abortion]
Seems like she got what she had coming.
[About a girl who died giving herself an abortion.]
Barak Obama would praise her for taking action so she would not be “punished with a baby”.
[An English teenager died from complications two weeks after taking two abortion pills, her mother told an inquest into her death this week.
Manon Jones, 18, described by her mother as a devout Christian teen, opted to terminate her pregnancy at six weeks because she feared the pregnancy would cause conflict within her "Muslim" boyfriend's family, the Daily Mail reported Friday. ]
What was a “devout Christian teen” doing with a Muslim boyfriend in the first place - seems like that’s just asking for it.
The questions about Barack Obama just keep coming. This guy is dirty. He’s also not just a lefty but an America hater. Was that gaffe regarding 57 states a mistake? Isn’t 57 the number of recognized Islamic states in the world?
Don’t vote for this guy!
Just think of it. In November Barack Obama is elected President and the Democrats sweep the election with a 60-vote super majority in the Senate. If that happens there will be nothing to stop them from passing a broad amnesty. Millions of illegal aliens will become legal, and so, eventually, will another 40 million Mexicans.
Obama will stop building the border fence. With its new power, the Latino/ Hispanic/ Mexican population will begin chanting “no taxation without representation!” and the liberals will grant them citizenship, without learning English or knowing anything about U.S. history and culture.
Soon the border will become irrelevant and what remains of a fence will be torn down. The North American Union will become a reality and the United States will cease to exist.
God will have surely damned America.
Evolution "Science" (LOL!!!) is a platform for self-deluding imbeciles to pretend that they possess some meaningful knowledge in order to fool other imbeciles, get free drinks at the pub, and score fat chicks with no taste or sense of shame.
There exists absolutely NO EVIDENCE of evolution beyond the tortured hypothesis of a son-of-a-preacher who used his syphillus-twisted imagination to strike back at his overly strict Daddy.
And he, like all Darwinist-chimp-spawn, will burn forever in Hell for refusing to acknowlege God as their Creator and Lord.
It isn’t just a matter of God wanting more babies. Unlike condoms or the pill, abstinence doesn’t turn a sacrament between a husband and wife, meant to create life, into a self-serving recreational act.
[On Einstein's Disbelief in God]
Einstein's statements are proof of the old adage that genius is not transferable. The man was a brilliant theoretical physicist but his knowledge of other questions was childlike and uninformed.
When a scientist can create an atom, then they can talk about faith being childish. And they can use no, pre-existing raw materials. They have to create all the raw materials.
[Earthquake cracked large dam above city of Dujiangyan]
God alone holds back the water. I pray that He intercedes and keeps that dam holding. Has anyone noticed that over the last month the rash of quakes ,eruptions and typhoons that have killed hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. We have Burma swamped by a cyclone with 50,000 dead and now a quake with the potential 150,000 plus deaths in China. This events occur in threes. Where will the next disaster going to occur? Cali, Hawaii or in Napoli? God only knows? Wake up and repent. get right along side our good God. He’s the only answer.
Hey, women, wake up! Face the fact that you are the more vulnerable of the two sexes. Face the fact that your dress, your manner and your behavior can be provocative. Realize that men are not real smart and that they are programmed to respond to sexy women. Sometimes, those men haven't the where-with-all to understand the word, 'no.' Just as everyone should avoid 'occasions of sin,' women should avoid occasions of sexual stupidity.
Einstein may have been smarter, but Moses was much wiser, realizing that God used Moses to transmit the most important information for man to get along with each other. Otherwise, man would be living like animals-stealing from each other, killing each other, and having sex with everyone and anything and everything. Dennis Prager had the most coherent treatise on this. Without Moses, man would never have progressed much beyond the caveman stage. And people like Gore and Obama would return mankind to the primitive stage by striking down Mosaic Law and restraint and replacing it with just Man’s Law.
How quickly you forget your Koranic teaching. A Muslim may LIE if in doing so it furthers the process of Islam's goal of becoming the one world religion. I contend that the only reason Barack Hussein Obama has not been harmed by the Muslims or had a fatwa placed on his head, is because Muslim leaders know that he's "fudging" on his being a Christian. He said he wasn't a PRACTICING Muslim. He also said he goes to church to PRAY. NO. NO. NO. Christians go to church to worship. Muslims go to "church" (mosque) to pray. There are just enough subconscious hints in his use of the English language that indicate he is a fairly proficient liar. Not the best liar (Billy Jeff Clinton wins that hands down), but Barack Hussein Obama has been lying about everything ever since he decided he wanted to be a "black" man. He is an ARAB man per documentation in Kenya which lists his father as ARAB (neither black nor any other color or lack hereof).
[The dinosaur-killing Chicxulub meteor might have ignited an oilfield rather than forests when it slammed into the Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago, say geologists.

I'm not going to push this, since I'm sure I'm over-reaching, but ...
When they find material which is often taken as evidence of human activities, and when that evidence seems to be from 65 million years ago, does that suggest in anyway that the dating methods may be off?
One of the classic retorts against Creationism or ID is "If we find homo sapiens in a coal bed, maybe we'll rethink the dating, but that has never happened."
Well ...

If Mormonism were a cult, I would know it, and I would not be in it.
Personally I think that you need to get saved!
My kids got taught the evolution crap then I taught them to think for themselves and they realize now God made it all.
The homosexual movement is only part of a much larger movement. It is one of many methods being used by socialists to destroy our democratic republic and replace it with socialism. One effective method is to attack the family, that is the foundation of the country, by making it dysfunctional through a blurring of the gender lines.
Any Christian should believe in extraterrestrial life. From cover to cover, the bible describes highly advanced beings capable of moving through interstellar space and whose abode is not on this planet.
Let's see, 8000 year old tree, 6400 years since man was kicked out of the Garden of Eden and 4800 years since the flood that totally remodeled the earth, and this tree has survived? I think not.
Neither Creation nor evolution are science, both are religions. We who believe God created the world just as He says He did in His book the Bible are creationist. Those who believe the theory out forward by some worm eaten corpse named darwin are evolutionist. Nether believe is based upon science as science is defined, both are based upon a religious belief.
As for me, I'll go with God's book after all, He was there at the beginning. And I admit that it is my religious convictions and absolute believe in the word of God that leads me to that conclusison. Why is it that evolutionist can not be as honest, for there is no science in evolution, just one changing theroy after an other, one misguide belief after another.
[“No - evolution is science”]
Yesterday you stated that evoltion is a theory.
Now today it is science.
Both the Big Bang THEROY and The THEROY of Evoltion are just that .
THEROIES, nothing more. Just something to talk about.
BTW, name three things you believe in that are conseravtive values.
Christianity is protected in our constitution. Further, there is no separation of church and state written anywhere in the constitution. The constitution simply states that the government shall not interfere with the church, make no law in rspect of the church.
separation of church and state is actually a connon law of the church, where the government runs the nations business, while the church runs it's business and is responsible for the morality of society.
Restricting the teaching of the bible in schools or public preaching of the bible is actually a violation of our constitution.
Its been over 30 years since the "Born Gay" Hoax was first foisted upon the American people.
In all that time, with all the DNA analysis that has been done, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO evidence has actually come forth to support the theory, yet the media pretends it is fact.
Every homosexual I know, which is over a dozen now in all my years, has been recruited by an aggressive homosexual.
[on the murder of a fifteen year old transsexual]
Great, something for the queens to cry about - riiiiiight, one kid shoots another kid in a public school who happens to be “gay”, so therefore, a pro-homosexual agenda has to be pushed on ALL students even harder?
What kind of parents lets their SON go to school in makeup and high heels in the first place???
Seems to me the better solution would be to make homosexuality socially unacceptable, and cause gay, cross dressing children to dress and act straight, at least until they are old enough to have a private life where they can share their perversions with friends who want to share the gay lifestyle with them. All the politically correct attempts to convince straight people that homosexuality is normal won’t prevent the next young thug from killing or beating a gay kid. What liberals will accomplish with the radical, gay agenda is the next step in tearing down sexual morality and cultural standards. Someday, we will read how some young thug shot the neighbor kid for lawfully practicing bestiality on the street. The PC police will admonish us about the need to teach our children bestiality awareness.
[The slaying of the 15-year-old boy has ... led to demands that middle schools do more to educate youngsters about discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.]
How about demands that boys in public school NOT dress up in high heels, makeup, and earrings and flirt with other boys? How about demanding that people NO MATTER WHAT AGE keep their sexual orientation to themselves?
The need to "educate youngsters about discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation" is absurd on its face. Children don't have to be taught -- they naturally discriminate against homosexuality because homosexuality is abnormal.
More profound, in the Judeo-Christian ethic that molds all of Western civilization and which has, over the past 2,000 years, clearly proven itself far and away the most successful model for human thriving and dignity, homosexuality is specifically mentioned as something to be rejected and discouraged, and we can probably assume that homosexuality is just another condition of mankind, that it has always and will always be with us -- it's our challenge to deal with it properly. We may not fully understand Biblical reasons for discouraging it, but we IGNORE and DEFY at our peril the instruction to reject homosexualty. The smartest, most dignified thing to do is to usher it back in the closet where it belongs. If you're a homosexual, exhibit it at your own risk.
You can't fool mother nature and you can't fool kids. What the Gay Agenda enablers really mean is that they see the need to override kids' instictive reaction to reject homosexuality and to force them to go against their own natures in accepting it as "normal." It's not normal, it never will be, and all the forceful insistence of gay "rights" activists cannot change that any more than they could make two plus two equal five.
Yes of course these are those wonderful people with family values! (If I never hear that bs they are people with family values I will be overjoyed.)
Yes, they have family values when they join their killer gangs. Do their drive by shootings & kill for the fun of it.
Family values when they kill innocent people while driving drunk.
Family values when they rape & murder. And sexually abuse our children in horrible ways.
Family values when they rob our system of everything they possibly can.
Family values when they sell our children drugs.
This list could go on & on. If these are the people will such great family values I think we ought to round them up & toss them back into Mexico & let them practice their family values there.
And tell the GLBT community here to stop it’s immoral, life threatening behavior.
The people in Africa are bearing the consequences of that irresponsible behavior. The AIDS/HIV research isn’t about them anyway. It’s a liberal PC push to allow gays to continue in their lifestyle without bearing the consequences of their behavior.
Most of the rationale behind the funding for this isn’t to help the victims in Africa and it will likely be decades before any over there even have hope of seeing it. That’s why we’re simply calling it as we see it. It’s about promoting a consequence-free homosexual and drug lifestyle.
It’s nobody else’s fault the disease is still around because a cure hasn’t been found but that of the gay and drug using community. They are the ones responsible for it. They are the ones who can stop it dead in it’s tracks and they are responsible to do so. It’s reprehensible that they would continue behavior that they know will result in the deaths of others.
It’s wrong to continue that, demand funding, and then lay the deaths of innocents at the feet of scientists and researchers for something they failed to do.
[How would you frame a disease that has already killed 25 million people?]
I like to think of it as society's filter!
with a few exceptions it picks the immoral and base people who are gratuitously polluting the image of God they bear, and slowly removes them from circulation. Like the death penalty, there is an occasional innocent person who dies, but for the most part the system works well and is well worth having. If AIDS did not exist our nation would have spiraled into debauchery much faster than it is now progressing in that direction. If only we could create a disease that only attacks socialists or radical muslims I'd welcome that plague too.
It seems odd to me that the same kooks who want a reduction in human population "for the environment" also sometimes want a cure for AIDS. I would think an eco-nut should love AIDS.
With the exception of people exposed via transfusions or hospital errors, those infected with HIV/AIDS are not “victims”, they are stupid perverts that prey on our male children.
The only place you can find a moderate reasonable muslim is right in front of the Easter Bunny and right behind Big Foot. That is the only place that they exist. If anyone hears anything different you want to look right quick and see where the lies are coming from and why they are being told.
You will find every time that these lies are a smoke screen for islamic expansion.
>>I’m not an atheist, but how does the author know an atheist cannot console in a time of grief, explain love, or sigh in happy wonder at life’s endless surprises?<<
It is simple. It is their core “what is life” paradigm that eliminates the possibility of being uplifting during such times.
Utterly and completely impossible - unless they are not being true to their own beliefs.
But then, I’ve never met a real athiest. I’ve met plenty that claim to be, but when questioned further, every single one of them backpedaled and admitted they were really more “agnostic”.
Wanna see how a REAL atheist would act? Rent Natural Born Killers.
[How would an atheist console someone who has lost a child?]
"I am incapable of accuratedly knowing what an atheist would say. Perhaps something like..’be thankful that your child is at peace, or is no longer in pain’...something like that."
An athiest would be incapable of saying such a thing without betraying his atheism. As to "no longer in pain" who said anything about pain? What if the child just dropped dead or was hit by a car or drowned in a pool?
Logically with an attitude like that, the Atheist should be walking through hospital wards with a AK-47.
Our nation's MOST serious and important threat is MARXISM! Homosexuality is merely part of the Marxist plan.
I have often posted that islamofascism is NOT our nation's most serious threat. We can survive a nuclear suitcase bomb. Didn't we lose an entire city to a hurricane? Didn't we survive?
Government schools (especially K-12) are the Marxists most dangerous and effective weapon against freedom. Homosexuality is part of the Marxist indoctrination process whose goal is destruction of the family.
[Story: A Jewish family has to move because of an anti-Semetic backlash due to a lawsuit against a school that promoted Christianity in public school]
I have no sympathy for people like this. They were upset because they had to listen to Christian prayers.
They make a huge mess, sue the school, raise everyone’s taxes, interfere with the majority’s religious expression and then whine people don’t like them. They used their eleven year old a wedge to get the judgement and then get upset when kids point him out as the “kid that’s suing Jesus”.
Now they get money from everyone and have to move. And they have the g**** nerve to be self-righteous. I bet they voted to raise people’s school taxes every chance they got too.
