The avatar "illusiondweller" seems apropos.

Illusion dweller was apropos. Truthdweller points to delusions of grandeur. Before you could imagine the presence of sardonic humor. That was welcome. Now?

Saying God will save me implied one knows god's mind. Something so seriously disapproved in centuries past you were liable to be in a hot spot for it. I guess it was thought to imply one was possessed by satan. You know. That sort of reasoning.

Clearly satan would say he knew god's mind. If at all enterprising he would also say he planned to reduce taxes. That is a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

we haven't heard from klimmer for awhile. maybe he took my advice and joined the catholic church. if he wants to leave his wife and family behind, he could even join a monastery.

i think gobee would make a great catholic too. catholics love to pile things up like this. they have something called the doctrine of brownie points. father guido sarducci puts it in terms of dollars and cents. it's all in the letter the virgin mary of fatima sent to the pope: life is a job. god pays you for it, but when you die, you have to pay god back--pay for your sins. gobee gets maybe a dime from god every time he puts a little screed page on here.

father sarducci said that a big sin, like murder, would probably cost around $100. masturbation, the most common sin he hears in confession, probably doesn't amount to much, maybe 35 cents. but it can add up ... a-thirty-five, a-thirty-five, a-thirty-five ...

People believe in God because there is a God, and just because you choose not to believe in God does not make him not exist.
I believe in the God of the bible.
The big bang theory was God creating the earth.

If you died and turned into a piece of foam on the sea your life would be meaningless.
But that is Darwinism, there is no creator and life is meaningless.
There is a God and he put that in every person's heart to believe.
How can anyone look at the stars and the universe and the complexity of ants and microbes and humans and say it was created by nothing. That is illogical reasoning.
Even going back to the "big bang", something had to start it ; nothing cannot start something..it is the first law of motion; NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION: every body remains in a state of rest unless it is acted upon by an external force.

PETERSBURG - Kentucky

A panel of prominent scientists and paleontologists have discovered new groundbreaking evidence that Jesus walked with dinosaurs.
Jesus and his disciples walked with dinosaurs 2000 years ago and the earth and universe are only 10,000 years old.

Independent scientists funded by the Christian Neocon Church of Kentucky have also discovered that Adam and Eve wore fashionable garments given by God. This goes against the grain of the popular belief that they wore leaves over their genitalia in the Garden of Eden.

These are just some of the myriad of facts which have now been discovered to be true by the Scientists working in tandem with archeologists all over America.

Evolution Myth

Professor Alan Johnsons from the University of Mobile, Alabama says: "Blasphemers and evolutionists deny the fact that humans and dinosaurs coexisted. This is not the true Christian path that God and Jesus wrote

about.

"Children and adults outside of America are indoctrinated with the false 'belief' that man did not co-exist with dinosaurs starting from early childhood with books that teach it. It's reinforced in their school systems, the media and the entertainment industry.

"God wrote in the Bible that he created humans and dinosaurs on the same day. Jesus walked and talked with dinosaurs. He even had one as a pet sometimes - an Agilisaurus which he kept in his Carpentry workshop. We have eyewitness accounts and scientific evidence about this, folks, and it's all in the Bible."

The scientific study was not only all encompassing with profound discoveries in three continents, but also took over twenty years of research to finally come up with definitive answers to everything.

George W Bush has even been named patron of the Creationist movement and was last year honoured at Kentucky Fry University with a Masters in Young Earth Studies.

The University at Kentucky Fry has also discovered dinosaur footprints dated 2000 years ago alongside the footprints of man. This incredible discovery alone is enough to cement the theory.

The Bible says God made the dinosaurs with man. They both lived peaceably, side-by-side, and were vegetarians. Neither man nor the animals were meat-eaters until after the flood. The terrible T-Rex may have become a meat-eater after the flood (and God's curse on the ground). The dinosaurs didn't live for millions of years before man as evolution says. Dinosaurs have never ruled the earth; mankind was given that task by God.
