Exactly you know about Zeus too

Praise Zeus

You wouldn't call Jesus, Satan so the origin of a name and what name you use is obviously important. You look to the Bible and make that decision. Why is it so easy to call this easter when you know the true meaning behind the name?

So what do you think Miles is trying to point out? Do you think after reading what miles says that the Bible does not state what day the Sabbath is?

I think the ultimate question is Heinz 57 or A1 steak sauce?

I think he did not rise physically. I think he rose up into heaven like a spirit. Like many people believe they will. Thats why the angle is saying why are you looking here for him when he is obviously dead and his soul is in heaven. Later people thought that Jesus story needed to be bigger then it really was(like dying on a cross is not enough) so they made up the part about the actual body being on earth. Which as you have pointed out serves no purpose what so ever.

If it doesn't matter about when he was born, or died, or what day to worship him then do you think it would also be ok to change his name to Satan and follow all the biblical writings but just replace the word Jesus with Satan every where. You would still be following his teaching's and you would only be changing something so silly as a name.

The thing is if you do not think the Bible is the word of God that is to be taken literally on things like God making the Earth in 6 days or All the animals popping onto the earth completely formed. Then it makes sense to practice the holidays when your Church does. However if you are someone that thinks the Bible is the word for word, word of God I think you should be looking at what name God wants to be called and what day he wants to be worshiped and when his actual birth was.
I would think it would be more important to figure out those key pieces of the book then it would be to figure out if Noah had dinosaurs around him or not. Noah is just a man. No matter what he saw he is not God. If you really believe in the Book how could you possibly waste all your time on the other things when these basic things are unknown. How can you say all those things that are out in the secular world are more important to study then the actual basic pieces of your own religion.

Psalm 135
they have eyes, but do not see;
17they have ears, but do not hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.

I'm not ignoring you. I keep putting out what I think are clear answers but I go about my answerers in a round about way. In this case I was using a joke (making up a funny story about previous gods that kinda follows modern bible myth) to make the point that if you say everything needs a maker and thats why God exists well then something then had to made your God.

In the other thread I was being all serious in this one I just ran through to make a quick joke.

Peace to you

You continually pick out the one small sentence in my whole paragraph that does not represent my point. It is this type of deceptive word manipulation that the right is famous for. Be brave enough to represent my true point, and post my whole statement.

Show me proof of this statement that Millions of Americans think that kids cannot pray silently in there heads at school.

I have said this a dozen times in here.

Everyone say's that this ruling put an end to prayer in schools. Of course no one thinks we are talking about someone praying quietly inside there own head. The ONLY thing I have been talking about is the Govt. forcing people to recognize a god. Such as saying the "under god" in the pledge. Or saying a prayer at the start of school that led by the teachers. These things are illegal. Just as that separation of church and state is important to me. So is the separation that protects a kid with a Bible from being stopped from reading the bible at his lunch hour. Or some kid sitting on the playground discussing Allah with his friends from being stopped from discussing him. The law is just as important in both directions. There has never been a time on here when I have ever said that anyone should not be able to pray by themselves.

The only people that think that all prayer is threatened in school is Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson. Even they do not really believe it they just know it works people up and makes them money.

Well just to help you out before I go to bed. If the supreme court says that prayers cannot be said in schools. That becomes the LAW of the land. Second my statement above say's "WE" make the laws. In that I was referring to the democracy.
Don't sweat it. It's late.

Good Night

Go back and look I responded to you

You keep going on and on over the same thing about Jeffersons letter. It does not make any diffrence what Jeffreson intended. It is law now. In 1942 it became law and now it is part of who we are as a country. So no matter how much you would like Jefferson to be the last person to speak on that. He isn't Today the laws change for the better.

Wiley keeps going on and on about the framers and how THomas Jefferson never meant that. It dosn't matter because it is part of our laws now.

Well I can look at you and see you have two eyes, a nose, a mouth, skin, have been on a sail boat. I just don't see it.

I know next you will say "I was not referring to me"

I will just have to say in general the earth is pretty well set up and I just can't imagine asking God to do more. I think he has done enough. Maybe it was ok for Adam to look at all of paradise and ask for a mate. We still have plenty of Eve's all over the place so I think we should consider ourselves very lucky.

Well some people are trying to say only the framers can talk about religion. that is no true. We make the laws of this country

THose of you confused by this the top paragraph shows how separation of church and state "definitive part of Establishment Clause jurisprudence" in 1947 So from 1947 on the phrase was part of our legal system.

The second paragraph shows how in 1962 the Supreme Court used that idea to say that prayer in school is not allowed even if it is non-denominational. so you can't just say any old God. that is a no no.

You better read a little closer.

I thought someone might say that. I have my first line though that says be thankful for what you have. That covers everything from feet to toes to trees to hair to whatever...
To me I just can't imagine asking for more when I live in a abundance.
