love this man. His life alone is evidence of his innocence. Judges commonly use a person's prior record as proof of intent. I ask that the judge look at his record and see if there is anything that would suggest this man would willingly break a law. Also there are countless men that have been convicted of much worse crimes and received a much lighter sentence. This is ridiculous! Free Hovind! He is innocent.

These degenerates are abnormal, not normal, they keep their degenerate desires to themselves, or they pay the price, there is such a thing as Self Discipline, not succumbing to your emotions, and base lust...
I'm no Liberal, never have been, and I don't agree with giving these Human abnormal Degenerates any soap box to spread their abnormal degenerate bile!!
They keep themselves to themselves, they stay where they belong in the shadows along side all other Degenerates, such as Transgenderists, Pedo's and other natural mistakes..
Sorry my views don't tally with the modern view of the Liberal idea of what should be, I've seen enough of this modern Liberal World to know it Stinks, its decadent and ripe for destruction, so what's left of the Normal Natural Human can begin again.
I haven't said the sun revolves around the Earth. I said it may be that it does. Do get your facts straight please. Don't you know that the solar system disproves cosmic evolution? Saturn and Neptune have moons that spin in opposite directions in contradiction of the law of Conservation of Angular Momentum. That's only one of many examples of how evolutionist scientists know thier theories are disproven by science, yet they teach them because the alternative is creation. This is called? lying.
the big bang is not real
God created the earth
think about it... if the earth was an inch closer to the sun, we would burn
if it was an inch further we would freeze
the fact that scientists think that the earth broke off from an asteroid or watever and just happened to be pulled in by the sun's gravitational pull in the perfect place is ludacris
there is probably not one of here posting that considers themselves to be "religious" or to practice "Religion"; Relgiousness and religion to a born again Christian is a term that refers to us speaks of the pharisee - those who looked the part on the outside and had not a clue about God in reality... those who had faith in their traditions and rituals and even in their own ability to keep the Law and follow the rules and not faith in the Living God. So it is kind of insulting to call a born again Christian religious or Christianity a religion.
We believe that we are born again children of the Living God creator of heaven and earth and that we walk in a familial relatiohsip with HIM; we do not practice a religion.
I wanted to explore this a bit as I'm self-studying utilitarianism atm, and trying to figure out how the whole thing works. Figured I'd present an argument, and have some other perspectives.
Right and Wrong can be determined by what is rational and what is irrational. Rational and irrational can be determined by what brings about the most pleasure and what brings about the most pain. (TDD pointed this out: Rational and Irrational can be determined by what course leads to the most pleasure vs. the most pain. (Can't get the right words >.<))
Atheists have a hard time as they're surrounded by folks who constantly attack them for not falling to their knees and worshipping. This is painful. Therefore, not changing is irrational, and therefore, being an Atheist is wrong.
Being a theist of any kind is more accepted as a social norm, thus making life easier, thus minimizing stress and optimizing pleasure, thus making it rational, thus making it right.
Am I right?
See, just because some storms are simply part of the natural cycles placed by God, that doesn't mean that they all are.
[[On the recent controversy in which it was revealed that the movie 'Expelled' contains numerous unlicensed uses of intellectual property, among other plagiaristic exploits. Lennon's 'Imagine' among them. Yeah, Yoko's PISSED.]]
"Flat earth" controversy was a hoax invented by elitist atheists in the 19 th century, i watched that on the ewtn show about the Catholic Church and western civilation.
These "expelled" attackers don't even know their history.
Evolution is similarly a godless ideology being peddled as science, by atheists and secularists who hate God and His Holy Word.
The fossil record alone disproved evolution, and the darwinists are trying to stifle any and all discussion that is detrimental to darwinism/evolution.
Discimination may be good in many instances, i certainly agree, but in this instace it is not because it strifles discussion about the truth, the truth about the fake science that is darwinism.
Now, about the so-called plagerism, let leave that up to the courts, unless of course we can see first hand any evidence of wrongdoing.
But still we should not let any accusations of plagerism distract us from the truth that "expelled" has exposed, the truth that the darwinists are using stalinist tactics in order to cover up the truth and stifle discussion that is destrimental to their phoney science.
Even if you remove all those disputed "animations" the message of expelled is NOT diminished one bit.
Obama will retreat the troops. NOTE: Bible says nothing about USA cause USA will be concern about ourselves than what's happen in the Middle East.
Right now European Countries' leaders are having meetings to became SuperPower to rival USA. They already form European Union. One of the members of the European Union is gonna be the Anti-Christ.
I'm not sure when the rapture will take place but I know the Christians won't be in the Great Tribulation.
Obama wants to put back all of the USA Troops. Give the European Union leaders to make a false treaty to clam the middle east down to peaceful place for a short while. The Anti-Christ will gether all China, Russia, Egypt, Iraq, Iran and others to go against Isreal.
That's why I called Obama the Anti-Christ's John the Baptist and that's why I also say If you vote for Obama and you are voting for the Armageddon.

If you CAN believe in dinosaurs, why can't I believe in creationism. An idiot calling another an idiot. Get a life. THE MOST STUPID THING ANY MAN CAN BELIEVE IS IN THE STORY OF EVOLUTION. A lucky MONKEY DEVELOPED INTO A MAN WHO CAN THINK, COMMUNICATE, CREATE AND DO OTHER INCREDIBLE THINGS. NEVERTHELESS, it is strange that in the vast animal kingdom there was only one lucky monkey that decided to develope into us. THE OTHER MONKEYS DECIDED TO STAY DUMB. It SOUNDS LIKE CREATIONISM TO ME. IF YOU CONSIDER CREATIONISM DUMB, JUST GO TO A ZOO AND WATCH THE MONKEYS. THERE IS NO TRUE IN THAT WHAT SO EVER. I PREFER TO BELIEVE IN THE CREATIONISM THEORY THAN IN THAT Bullshit BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU AND EXAMINE THE ANIMALS. It IS CLEARLY APPARENT THAT THE ONLY LIVING THINGS WITH REASON ARE HUMANS. THE ONLY REASON ANIMALS HAVE IS THE ONE WE ATTRIBUTE TO THEM. THUS, THE ONLY ONE REASONING THEIR REASONING IS US. ANIMALS DON'T REASON. THUS, CREATIONISM HAS ITS FACTS. It IS NOT all FACTS. It IS TRUE. I believe it SHOULD NOT BE BELIEVE LITERALLY. It IS TRUE. BUT DON'T TRY TO SELL YOUR BS SCIENCE AS PERFECT EITHER. WE HAVE CAR, AIRPLANES, AND KNOW ABOUT THE SUN AND ABOUT THE MOON BECAUSE OF OUR REASON TO SEARCH THAT WHICH IS GREATER THAN US (GOD). PEOPLE who STOP BELIEVING IN GOD BECOME DUMB ANIMALS. It IS STILL NOT PROVEN LITERALLY WHETHER THE EARTH IS NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE BECAUSE THE UNIVERSE STILL EXPANDING. THUS, THERE IS NO CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE AS YET. THUS, YOU CAN'T SAY THE EARTH IS OR IS NOT OR WILL NOT BE THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. PEACE.
[Describing his view of the universe, and how Jesus is... water]
I readily admit that I'm not a scientist. I said that here, early on. What I'm doing is making comparisons between the Bible and things we are familiar with. I hope that others will be able to find sources of new information in the Bible.
For instance, you asked about physics. Jesus said "suffer the little children to come unto me". The traditional view is that children should be introduced to Christianity at an early age. I think that Jesus is really talking about electrons, which if they come to him, water, will result in chemical compounds.

I stick to my stated goal: to prove using only the Bible that the Sun is not a star. Can you answer the question I posed to m1a1 in my reply above about Matthew 24:29? What about the creation story where it says God created the Sun, then 'he made the stars also'?
You being an atheist have no right to use anything from the Bible to either comment on or have any kind of reaction to - since you dont believe in the author of it - God - so therefore you have given up your right to have an opinion about it. And you cannot declare it is "ridiculous" or any such a thing. And you cannot interpret it since you reject it and its author - God. You being an athiest do have the right to comment on something you would know about - secular humanistic documents. But God's Word, no, sorry, you are not even worthy to comment on God's sacred book.
Question [which was stolen from Epicurus]:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able, and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God.
[The fundy answer]
No, he allows evil and he is capable to do anything. Judgement day will come.
Many people can make the argument that the current crop of students growing into adults is one of the worst in recent times. I could think of two equally fitting names for it.
The self-gratification generation, and the entitlement generation (latter applies to many adults too). The future looks bleak because of this generation. When people have to start asking themselves what is right and what is wrong, then you know there are problems. Many people in this day and age will actually question the very basic morality that should be common sense to everyone.
It is no surprise to me then, that this generation is one of the most liberal generations (morally) than any generation before us. It is also one of the most Godless generations, where Church is a routine and not a lifestyle like during their grandparents time.
It only makes sense then to limit the activities of liberals, and destroy their "culture" that is ruining America, and ultimately the world.
[Commenting on Stephen Jay Gould's death]I'll bet that atheist is wishing he had not led so many people astray! I am sure that leeches like him get an "extra special" treatment in Hell. He asked for it, and he deserves it!
A simple reading of the two texts (Bible and heathen koran) shows that the very nature and way that God interacts with mankind is fundamentally different.
YHWH in the Bible is consistent, firm, and holy. His dealings with mankind are always consistent with who He reveals Himself to be. The "god" of the koran is deceitful, temperamental, prone to changing his mind, petty, while at the same time entirely disinterested in everyone on Earth. Allah changes his mind constantly, often at the whim of his so called "seal of the prophets". It's a very bizarre and strange change in personality, if one believes you go from the Bible to the koran as God's revealed Word.
Basically, the God of the Bible's morals are consistent, perfect, and holy. The god of the koran's morals seem to be no better than a 6th Century desert dweller.
Islam is nothing more than an attempt by Satan to replace Christianity and YHWH. Satan tried to wipe out Christians through the Roman Empire and barbarians for 600 years and badly lost that battle. When it was clear that persecution only swelled the numbers (and eventually lost the Roman Empire), Satan devised a new monotheistic religion to replace it. He then copied that template 1200 years later with Joseph Smith when he revealed Mormonism to him. Mormonism is a more palatable, fine-tuning of Islam, in my opinion, without the bothersome, contradictory revelations required to keep Mohammed legitimate in the eyes of his followers.
God bless.

No Atheist is truly happy. Some will pretend but deep down they are simply miserable disbelief has effectively ended their sense of wonder and joy. The men are often impotent and the women frigid
Well when I was not a theist I did pretty much whatever I wanted, ie sleep with as many women as I wanted etc. If I stopped believing in objective moral values I would definitely start doing that one again if I thought that any feeling of it being wrong was just an illusion. Just being honest.
I find it fascinating that whenever a new "dinosaur" is discovered, they never show the actual excavation but only an artistic representation of what scientists "think" the animal may have looked like. Evolution is definitely running on after-burners big time so those in the evolutionary "camp" keep grabbing at whatever they can to keep up the "propaganda". Remember those old Nation Geographic monkey-to-man diagrams? What a hoot! Evolution is nothing but base thinking and represents scientific retardation, yet it is "true" in the world of "science". Science is supposed to be observable, but this truly is NOT the case for "science".... You just make up goofy ideas and throw in a few "million" and your good. The evolutionary fraud is coming down quick. Earth was utterly destroyed a few thousand years ago and "science" just needs to get over it. God’s Word is true from Genesis to Revelation.
Would it be moral for the state to punish heresy with the death penalty?
I'm only asking about the moral aspect. So I'm not interested in the likelihood or posibility of any state doing this, but simply if, let's say, Monaco made heresy illegal, would Catholics be able to deny it as immoral? St Thomas Aquinas says that murder of the soul (heresy) is worse thsn murder of the body, and many heretics were killed in the Spanish Inquisition. I know the numbers are greatly exaggerated, but let's be honest, heretics were killed for being heretics, and repentabt heretics were mercifully strangled. ISIS executes those who don't convert to Islam, but that's immoral because islam is wrong. It's a different story when talking about Catholicism because Catholicism is the correct religion. And if you accept that the state exists to help us be more virtuous, then stopping heresy fron spreading using lethal force would be justified.
It probably wouldn't be prudent to kill heretics because ideas can spread over the internet and so on, but again, my question is about the morality of this. So was it moral to kill those heretics back during the Spanish Inquisition?
[Gene Cranick's rural Tennessee home was allowed to burn to the ground by the fire department because he never paid a $75 fee for being just outside of the city limits.]
The fire department did the right and Christian thing. The right thing, by the way, is also the Christian thing, because there can be no difference between the two. The right thing to do will always be the Christian thing to do, and the Christian thing to do will always be the right thing to do.
If I somehow think the right thing to do is not the Christian thing to do, then I am either confused about what is right or confused about Christianity, or both.
In this case, critics of the fire department are confused both about right and wrong and about Christianity. And it is because they have fallen prey to a weakened, feminized version of Christianity that is only about softer virtues such as compassion and not in any part about the muscular Christian virtues of individual responsibility and accountability.
The Judeo-Christian tradition is clear that we must accept individual responsibility for our own decisions and actions. He who sows to the flesh, we are told, will from the flesh reap corruption. The law of sowing and reaping is a non-repealable law of nature and nature’s God.
We cannot make foolish choices and then get angry at others who will not bail us out when we get ourselves in a jam through our own folly. The same folks who are angry with the South Fulton fire department for not bailing out Mr. Cranick are furious with the federal government for bailing out Wall Street firms, insurance companies, banks, mortgage lenders, and car companies for making terrible decisions. What’s the difference?
Mr. Cranick made a decision - a decision to spend his $75 on something other than fire protection - and thereby was making a choice to accept the risk that goes with it. He had no moral, legal, ethical or Christian claim on the services of the fire department because of choices that he himself made.
...The infamous NASA Blue Beam Project has four different steps in order to implement the new age religion with the antichrist at its head.

That is why the Blue Beam Project is so important to them, but has been so well hidden until now....

so it's totally wrong, bogus, and some bold faced lie that some professor told you that the Earth receives energy (from the Sun) and that is how (evolution) overcomes the Second Law (of Thermodynamics).

SAT, that happened because this administration is trying to decimate our military and the best way to do it is from within. They know that people will stop re-enlisting or even enlisting to begin with if they have to face sharing barracks and showers with homosexuals/lesbians. When I was in the Army, it was still illegal, but if a lesbian had come onto one of the women in the shower, she would probably have ended up missing. That's how the military takes care of that kind of thing. (Friendly fire in war zones) The entire thing demoralizes everyone involved - and that's Obama's reasoning. A demoralized military is totally incapable of protecting the country. There have already been NUMEROUS cases of troops being bullied by homosexuals! It's so disturbing that the "Commander in Chief" should be the one taken to task over this mess!
We all know what happened after 9/11, and I can't imagine what kind of horrific scenes willl occur right at the second of the Rapture...

How could anybody on this earth believe that ufos are not real? well last I checked there talked about all over in the bible and many of religions they speak of some other type of intellegence, such as in egypt the hyrogliphics. Even Christopher Columbus witnesd the ufos coming in and out of the water he spent a good part of his life making contraptions to go under water to find out more about them.

[This is from a thread discussing Religion in general, but somewhere along the line, this fundie started arguing that Christianity is more valid that Wicca. Here's just one example of his arguments]
One more thing, just to beat the Inquisition topic to death before I leave it alone (as I keep coming back to it and we're all tired of it):
I was pondering this discussion today, and a quote by someone very wise came to me:
"History is just the pack of lies we all agree upon."
That's a very good summation in many ways. My addendum would be "the burning times is the pack of lies only the wiccans agree on."

Not much is forgotten on the internets. Watch your witness. Yahoo, google and many others have bots which catalog threads and posts here. Its quite normal (well, normal is a relative term)
Its funny though....of all the posts I have made over the years, google has very little on me, and what they do have looks selectively picked to make me look crazy/weird/whatever. Last I checked anyway..
I believed that evolution and the account of the Bible about creation could exist along side of each other very well. I just didn't see what the big argument was all about. I had some friends who had been studying the Bible much longer than I had who saw it differently...Eventually, I came to the conclusion, through my study of the Bible and science, that the two positions of evolution and creation just could not fit together. There are some real problems with the idea that God created through evolution... My prayer is that you will have this same experience!
The Bible's picture is that dinosaurs and man lived together on the earth, an earth that was filled with vegetation and beauty...man and dinosaurs lived at the same time...From the very beginning of creation, God gave man dominion over all that was made, even over the dinosaurs.
Answers in Genesis is not attempting to debunk science. It is, in fact, explaining God’s creation scientifically. If you will take the time to explore what they are doing, I think you will be impressed, not only with this fact, but also with the scientific credentials of those who support Creationism as opposed to evolution. Expand your thinking to include the scientific possibility (I personally believe it to be fact) that God’s word is true and that He did, in fact, create the world in six literal 24-hour days. God’s Word clearly says He spoke creation into existence. Science does not prove it did not happen that way; it simply theorizes that it did not. Take your family and get all the facts. Then you will be in a position to make an intelligent decision as to whether or not this is a ministry worth taking seriously and, perhaps, getting behind with your support.
The bible is God's word to us if u cant belibe his word then that means u dont belive God if u dont belive GOd then u cant belive his son. And if cant belive his son then u cant belive that he died for ur sins. And if u cant belive that then u cant be saved. and if u cant be saved then u cant go to heaven. and if u cant go to heaven u have to go to hell. So that what happens if u dont belive the Bible
[re: the fish-tetrapod transitional fossil tiktaalik being found in the very geological stratum predicted by evolution]
And tiktaalik might have been found in that deep stratum for either of at least two reasons:
1. It was less able to seek higher ground than other, "smarter" animals, and thus was buried deep in the Flood.
2. It is actually an antediluvian laboratory chimera and hence an out-of-place artifact of a society already known to have been inordinately cruel.

A site called FSTDT (Fundies say the Darnedest Things) was recently brought to my attention. A bunch of homosexual pot-smoking liberals have decided to persecute Christians again. It’s only a matter of time before they persecute me.
I hate these liberals because they are calling us Christians “Fundies”, because we stand up for Christ the truth. If you are not with us, you suffer in hell forever. I am torn because part of me is genuinely concerned for these misguided souls, and part of me is thinking that they’ll get what they deserve.
We’re not going to let up. Watering down the truth with homosexual anti-Christian Liberal lies doesn’t make it false. If children learn the false religion of Evilutionism in their schools instead of the truth of Creation, they will burn. These Liberal Satanists are hoping this will happen.
