Hiya Missy Blue!

Nope, not here, but nine from other sites, all catastrophes.

Nobody on this site will talk to me, except people who are 897,000 miles away or more.

You dont forgive people for their sake, you forgive them for your sake.

And there are different levels of forgiveness. I have forgiven friends for things and never again thought about it, depending on their actions after the fact.

I think Jonny said it, you don't have to be friends with them after the fact. But you forgive and move on.

NOW that is a serious subject..i love my son...
every day i share with him.. I am truly blessed...

you shld see my daughter she is 12 and VEEERY beautiful
cant post her pic on her
the GOONS wld perve her...

i cant live with hate in my heart...

dont say things like that... though..it scares me
angels watch over me and my babies...
keep us safe....
i try to protect my babies..
but they arent stupid..they know the world is full of EVIL..

When it comes out of almost ex-wife #2's mouth.

Seriously, I can't say much is unforgivable, but can say many things require immediate termination and not so immediate forgiveness.

I can take anything I dish out. So shoot, I don't care. LOL

Me too, Robert. It's been haunting me.

I disagree. A child is NEVER a lost cause. There is always hope.

Is it right or wrong to tell small children that there is no Santa Claus?

You obviously don't know me all that well yet, you'll learn my ways.

You shouldn’t laugh at people that’s not nice.

Of course people are the product of their own corruption. That’s a given if they are believed to have free will. However, when speaking of free will, the story of Jesus raises some very serious questions.

First off, if Jesus was born of a virgin and sent by God to be nailed to a cross to die for the sins of man, then even as Jesus was being born men were already fated to nail him to a cross whether they wanted to or not. Otherwise God’s master plan would have failed.

So clearly men had no choice but to nail Jesus to the cross. So in that act they were not responsible for their own corruption. It clearly wasn’t their free will choice. Otherwise it would have made no sense for Jesus to have been a specific individual who was sent by God and born of a virgin. Clearly this whole thing had been planned out by God in advance.

Secondly, what sense does is make for an all-loving, all-wise, God to ask men to nail his son to a cross so that he can forgive them of their sins? This is basically what God would have been doing. People always look at this from the point of view of Jesus like as if Jesus was just a man who offered himself up as a sacrificial lamb to God. But that scenario would have only made sense if Jesus was a normal mortal man in every way. The fact that God actually sent Jesus for the sole purpose of going this totally negates any idea that Jesus willingly chose to sacrifice himself. Clearly he had no choice in the matter. He was sent by God for this task.

So this is God saying to men, “Here, nail my son to a cross and I’ll forgive you of your sins”.

But what sense does this make?

If you go back and read the old testament, it only makes sense in the context of God being appeased by blood sacrifices. So here is God sending his own son to be sacrificed by men so that God can forgive them of their sins.

This supposedly an all-powerful, all-wise God who can only forgive men of their sins if they murder his only begotten son. Keep in mind also that murder is a sin. So God is saying to men, “Here, sin some more and I’ll forgive you of your sins”

The whole idea of a God prearranging the murder of his “only begotten son’ so that he can forgive men of their sins may make sense to you, but to me it’s the most absurd thing I can imagine.

Such a God does not appear to me to be all-powerful, all-loving, and certainly not all-wise.

If this story is true, then our creator has serious limitations, and mental capacity.

Since I can’t believe that God would be limited in either power, or wisdom, I simply reject the story as being utterly nonsensical.

Besides, it way too similar to all the other manmade folklore of the time.

Why would the real creator of this universe just happen to turn out to be almost identical to all the other manmade myths of the time?

To me it’s crystal clear that this myth of a God who is appeased by blood sacrifices can’t possibly be true.

The mothership that will save us scientologists is glorious and awe inspiring.

Why can't people just be happy with their beliefs? Why do they have to go around trying to convince others? Why do they hold on so tightly?

Why are they afraid of asking the hard questions?

What if everybody is completely wrong?

I feel you! I've learned that, with proper technique, you can irrigate even the most inhospitable soil to be fruitful and those crops tend to be the most enjoyable in the long run.

Some people are very locked into their belief systems and that can be irritating, but all it takes is for the right topic, the right sentence or the right incident in their own lives to remove the "wool" from their eyes, those people tend to be the most grateful and the hardest fighters for liberty. Plus, I love my fellow citizen and I want everyone here to enjoy freedom and to be prosperous, but until we, as a people, reach that 100th Monkey ( thats a theory on social change, look it up!) we will continue to find evil people doing their best to manipulate the populous into accepting and even defending their evil... Not unlike this story about the treatment of deportees.
