"Unlike "God" I'll actually answer back."
We have the whole Bible, from God!

I think it's funny someone can say that with a straight face considering so many books were expunged early on and none of the authors knew Jesus, if he even existed.
Does God talk to you every night after you pray?
Didn't think so.

Well, that's rather cool - meteorite collectors here. Nice photos!
Perhaps klimmer got conked on the head by his, and unlike Sir Isaac, came to an incorrect conclusion as to the cause.

Or maybe he was possessed by an evil spirit that lurked within it. Either way, I'm not arguing with a guy who has such a cool-looking meteorite.

Nobody would ever come up with that's in the Bible, only God!

Richard Hoagland's take on the LCROSS Lunar impact mission and what it really found and what they were really searching for (could be since the India Moon mission already proved water on the Moon before we the USA, announced finding it. Why did we have to take their thunder and claim the discovery?):
NASA's Smoking Gun:

LCROSS' (and LRO's) Secret NASA Mission to the Moon ....

What the Japanese have found on the Moon, interesting Lava Tubes (or are they something else?):

Rokjox,
Thanks I appreciate that word of encouragement.
The center regmaglypt or "thumbprint" shows a negative indented pareidolia of Jesus, or at least what many would assume what Jesus might look like. Because of this indention image the eyes of Jesus follow you whenever I rock the image back and forth while looking at it.
It is truly an incredible piece from the famous Sikhote - alin meteorite
:-))
On another blog tonight I just found out that at the U2 concert that you can watch now for free on Youtube of the CA, Pasedena, Rose Bowl concert, there is a moment where 33:3:3333 shows up massively and is frozen on screen above the band. Many people wonder about the significance of that . . .
Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)
"[3] Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
Bono and U2 are deep. Really deep. Bono undertstands the significance that the Freemasons (33 degrees) and Skull and Bones (33 degrees) have regarding the number 33. When Lucifer fell from Heaven he took a third of the Heavenly Angels with him. A third of anythng is 33.333333%. Bono is stealing back the number 33 from those who would pervert it.
Awesome concert. Watch it for free. They are coming again to Anaheim, June 6th, 2010!

"If there was an historical Jesus, I personally doubt he said much of what is attributed to him because some of it sounds quite frankly delusional to me."
Jesus said He was the Son of God, If you have seen Me you have seen he Father! Jesus was God in the form of man, in the flesh, God as a man! He was not just a good man.
So either Jesus was crazy, a liar, or He was who He said He was!
He did many miracles, healed many people, and cast out demons. Even the Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him. And said that Jesus did what He did by the power of the devil! Because they knew He did those miracles.
And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” And he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house.
“Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
“Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.”
For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Bless the Lord, O My Soul
Of David.
1 Bless the lord O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is one,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
22 Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!

I don’t care if it
Rains or freezes
As long as I’ve got my
Plastic Jesus
Ridin’ on the dashboard
Of my car
Through my trials
And tribulations
And my travels
Through the nation
With my plastic Jesus
I’ll go far
Ridin’ down the thoroughfare
With a nose up in the air
A wreck may be ahead
But he don’t mind
Trouble comin’
He don’t see
He just keeps his eye on me
And any other thing that lies behind
Chorus
With my plastic Jesus
Goodbye and I’ll go far
I said with my plastic Jesus
Sitting on the dashboard of my car
When I’m in a traffic jam
He don’t care if I say damn
I can let all my curses roll
‘Cos Jesus’ plastic doesn’t hear
‘Cos he has a plastic ear
The man who invented plastic
Saved my soul
Chorus
An if I weave around at night
Policemen think I’m very tight
They never find my bottle
Though they ask
‘Cos plastic Jesus shelters me
For his head comes off you see
He’s hollow and I use him like a flask
Woa Woa Woa
Save me
I don’t care if it’s dark or scary
Long as I got magnetic Mary
Ridin’ on the dashboard of my car
I feel that I’m protected amply
I’ve got the love of the whole damn family
Ridin’ on the dashboard of my car
With my plastic Jesus
I said goodbye
And I’ll go far
And I said with my plastic Jesus
I said sittin’ on the dashboard of my car
When I’m goin’ fornicatin’
I’ve got my ceramic Satan
Sittin’ on the dashboard of my car
Women know I’m on the level
Thanks to the wide-eyed stoneware devil
Sneerin’ from the dashboard of my car

LEB,
Ok, if Jesus was just a man, and there is no God, we might as well eat and drink for tomorrow we die!
But there is no life in just eating and drinking!
But if Jesus is God, and the what the Bible is true, which it is, God loves us, and we can be forgiven and live are lives for Him, with thanksgiving, it means everything!

How can you live a moral life without instruction? And whose morals? In the Bible God gives us His way to live! I am what I am because of God. I know I'm forgiven, in my mind, my sins might not be the worst of the Ten Commandments, but I could not argue with God that I'm innocent! I have lived with no thought of God at all, and He still loves me! I can't and don't want to imagine that there is no God, been there and done that. That's not a place where I want to be!

It's funny that you would bring up stealing, one of the Ten Commandments. If God did not say, "Do not steal", would that be a sin? Have you ever did something that you knew was wrong, I have?
Just look at the universe and time, we are here for a moment, God puts eternity in are hearts!
P. S. I like cream only!
Edit; If there was NO God .... I wouldn't be here!

Sometimes even when I want to do something because I believe it's the right thing to do, I can still not do it!
Like not get mad when someone cuts me off, or takes the parking spot I'm waiting for?
I'm not that good, God says to put others first, and do good unto them, I don't think I would come up with that, but when I follow that it changes me, and we are all loved by God!
The cream is for the coffee!

lifted from wiki:
Nat was singularly intelligent, and learned how to read and write at a young age. He grew up deeply religious, and was often seen fasting, praying or immersed in reading the stories of the Bible.[3] He frequently received visions which he interpreted as messages from God. These visions greatly influenced his life; for instance, when Nat was 23 years old, he ran away from his owner, but returned a month later after receiving such a vision. Turner often conducted Baptist services, and preached the Bible to his fellow slaves, who dubbed him as "The Prophet". Turner also had an influence over white people, and in the case of Ethelred T. Brantley, Nat said that he was able to convince Brantley to "cease from his wickedness".[4] By early 1828, Nat was convinced that he "was ordained for some great purpose in the hands of the Almighty."[5] While working in his owner's fields on May 12, Turner "heard a loud noise in the heavens, and the Spirit instantly appeared to me and said the Serpent was loosened, and Christ had laid down the yoke he had borne for the sins of men, and that I should take it on and fight against the Serpent, for the time was fast approaching when the first should be last and the last should be first."[6] Nat was convinced that God had given him the task of "slay[ing] my enemies with their own weapons."[6] Nat "communicated the great work laid out for me to do, to four in whom I had the greatest confidence" – his fellow slaves Henry, Hark, Nelson and Sam.[6]
Beginning in February 1831, Turner came to believe that certain atmospheric conditions were to be interpreted as a sign that he should begin preparing for a rebellion against the slave owners.
On February 12, 1831, an annular solar eclipse was seen in Virginia. Nat saw this as a Black man's hand reaching over the sun and he took this as his sign. The rebellion was initially planned for July 4, Independence Day, but was postponed due to deliberation between him and his followers, and illness. On August 13, there was an atmospheric disturbance, another solar eclipse, in which the sun appeared bluish-green (possibly from debris deposited in the atmosphere by an eruption of Mount Saint Helens). Nat took this as the final signal, and a week later, on August 21, he began the rebellion.
and:
Nat started with a few trusted fellow slaves. The rebels traveled from house to house, freeing slaves and killing all the white people they found. The rebels ultimately included more than 50 enslaved and free blacks.
Because the rebels did not want to alert anyone to their presence as they carried out their attacks, they initially used knives, hatchets, axes, and blunt instruments instead of firearms. Nat called on his group to "kill all whites."[citation needed] The rebellion did not discriminate by age or sex, although Nat later indicated that he intended to spare women, children, and men who surrendered as it went on.[citation needed]
Before Nat and his brigade of rebels met resistance at the hands of a white militia, they killed a total of 55 white men, women and children.[7] They spared a few homes "because Turner believed the poor white inhabitants 'thought no better of themselves than they did of negroes.'"[8]
do the right thing with that
there scripture.
