No sir , a sateric phrase pulled from an atheists book by the name of Bobby Henderson the book is called The Flying Spaghetti Monster =FSM not cool the Phrase "Ramen! Blessed Be His Noodly Appendage"

FSM FTW!

 

My word, when I clicked on this thread, I saw a Scientology ad to the left!

Praise God!

 

Sorry, I really tried ... must resist ... cant .. dammit

 

A very religious friend of my wife collapsed and miscarried a child last night after years of trying to conceive. She is going to survive, but after months of God being credited with the original conception (The couple of R100 000 at doctors and clinics trying to undo a flaw in Gods design was not credited), her friends all waded in with "Praise God, because only he understands what you are going through". ????

 

God is NOT good, he is NOT bad ... he just isn't. There is not one single scientific, or more importantly actuarial calculation that takes a God factor into account. If a god played any factor in your lives, the insurance companies would have worked it out by now ... especially since they are all run by Satan. Special rates for Christians? I think not. They die from serious diseases (cancer etc) at higher or equal rates than atheists. FACT ... not a myth.

 

Why would a supernatural being (son of god) be even the slightest bit worried about being crucified? How could his suffering be real if he were not an ordinary human. Silly Jewish and Roman historians of the time forgot to take note of his existence as well, except for one well known fraud committed by the Catholic church. Always a bugger when somebody finds an earlier/original document LOL.

 

Reason and not superstition is the only way to solve the crisis facing our earth.

Nice one hubbers

I noticed that the Proteas cricket team have suddenly ditched their power balance bands. Sure they were wearing them in the tests, but could not see a single one last night? Does this mean the sponsorship has ended?

 

If you are an influential person, like a sports star, should you be allowed to sell snake oil (bands etc) to the public or is there not some moral code that should apply?

 

What does it say about you if you wear a fake band purely for the money, knowing thousands of people may be fleeced based on your endorcement?

[Slowbee]

mmmm no bands, and they won ......

@ Hubbers, I know religion not popular discussion for public forums, so if you are not interested in what I have to say here then please ignore this post.

 

@stratus5 - I don't think you are fit to respond in this manner regarding theological matters and Christianity. You obviously havn't studied it thus leading you to saying things like you did above. Just to help you here in future case you say things about philosophies you know zero about: Adam was the first and Jesus was the second! Do you know what this statement means?? Just as Adam was near God and without fault (before the fall) just so Christ was near God and without fault! Your statement clearly indicates that you think there is a difference between man and Jesus, evident in you claiming that Jesus was a supernatural being. NOT He was the same as us.

In better terms, we are the same as Him!

The Biblical words stating that man was created in God's image actually refers to the exact point I am trying to make here.

You saying that Jesus was a supernatural being is just an indication of man's (yours)natural knowledge, knowing that we have been separated by from God. It was for this very reason that God(Jesus) walked with us, to restore this separation.

 

The scripture goes something like this: " As in Adam we all fell into sin, so in Christ, the second Adam, we will all be healed from sin and the separation between God and man removed"

 

Please don't degrade yourself (human being) like this. You are a son of God, made in his image! You can rule the world with Him, you are a King! In Christ!
