That is why he called it “my gospel”.

What do you make of all the universal flood stories from around the world and from supposedly isolated cultures?Don't you find that odd in itself?

Yes, but we need the rain that usually comes with it.

Has he? Last time I looked “satan” seemed to be having his way. The fastest growing religion in the USA, with Christianity on the decline at the same time, is Wicca. Worldwide, Christianity is declining while Islam is growing. But of course the Christian will say this means were are in “end times” right?Well, it may be an “end time”, but likely it…[Read more]

I can't. They're all long dead. Unless you practice necromancy? You know that is a no-no right?

You mean I can use the bible as a flotation device?

Not really. The movies are OK, but I've seen better. Hardly read the books. Am I supposed to love all fiction?

Quote (Son of Light @ Jan. 08 2008,20:13)Why aren't you a deist?

Yes, it is best to prophecy in ambiguous terms. Wasn't the oracle of Delphi like that? No matter the outcome, always right.

Can't be sure but either way, it was written by someone with an obvious grudge. Would you accept the “revelation” of a prison inmate? Basically what John was at this time.

How can you love something you do not accept? G-d said to love others not books.

I'll bet if you saw Jesus from a plane he'd look about the same size as vain men.
