GOD THE MOTHER IS IN SOUTH KOREA!
What is up with Murgan Salem al-Gohary, who wants to destroy the Pyramids and the Sphinx? B S crazy? Leave them alone, fool. They were there before that religion was even concieved...
Waivering amid the social waters of servile tenaciousness leaves one and many with an abundant measuring of abnormalized emotional isms. The rising above the based rooted philanderers is for commonality's betterments' sake. I am, therefore you be and likewise all are even though we meaningfully tender to the analogous fields aplenty. Life does end wherein the living will always begin and willingly linger without the comparative relations set forth for all to waylay their erroneous deniabilities thru confrontationalistic metaphors. I am therewith one is while you are the maybe upon which some do stand.
Wherefor art thou when the mitigants tenure from one variant to be towards the other variation? Is life really to be found out as being but a dreamt conditioniing therefore raising the unconditioned lackluster of neanderthalled meanials upon subsets' rationalisms?

Where are people when they try to deny the opportunistic relevance in the servitude fields? Is Life the abundant ending giving rises toward the treasured living? Who really knows what?
May the Lord of Hosts, the Redeemer of the lost find an issue to be reckoned with when the dustiness does settle upon the lands. Raise one's wineglass in retribution for the Heavenly Hosts that beguiles one and all in subversion tactiles of unmentionable clemencies never to be denied as falsehooded factions upon the masses of waivering mobs.

Be quiet. You babble nonsense.
Hide Behind,
My 'babble' is the bubble from which I do vent and venture forth ever to see Life's minglings. It is a far better thing I do write than what many others find as incoherencies due in part their own lack-lustered undulations within their own owned quagmires of non-superlative decencies. God, in the Beginning was and now yet still is and upon the foreverness wll always be the Oneness.
Lettuce Love,
Let Us Love,

Good morning, everyone!
Ready to save some souls T?
Ready and willing!
How are you, Apple?
Walking on the other side of the street as usual.
C'mon over to this side. It's sunnier.
Topher, that is why they give crazy people happy pills.
Looking forward to seeing Topher getting thumped again. Still waiting for his definitive proof for any god. . .
Yeah, go get closer so he can rape you. Riiiite.
Why is that, Apple?
Are you going to be on for awhile? Gonna run and grab a quick bite with my wife. Be back in about an hour.
T, people take happy pills to escape reality. Exactly like religion.
I'm back.
Do you know WHY I hope you and the others here get saved?
@Topher
Yes I do.
@Topher
If you really wanted to save people, then here are a few steps to take.
1) Give your definition of god, and characteristics
2) Prove your god exists (as has been asked of you many many times now)
3) Give a reason (other than fear based mafia style reasons) for your god to be worthy of worship. Here's a hint for this part, if the reason is "Because he's so holy", but he'll send you to eternal torture for not believing regardless of actions is a mafia style reason.

Pope – "Many people today have a limited concept of what the Christian faith is because they identify it with a mere system of beliefs and values and not with the truth of a God revealing himself in history, eager to communicate with humanity one-on-one in a relationship of love"
Yeah, the Christian God revealed himself to Savita Halappanavar at the Irish Hospital!
A God eager to communicate one-to-one – gosh! Can't someone just put this Pope under restraint. He and his likes are a threat to the human race.
God is an abstract representing something behind the veil of the Big Bang. It has nothing at all to do with worship or human intervention. It is, thus far in our evolution, unknowable.
To "prove" or not to "prove" is irrelevent, as first one would need to have a "God" hypothesis.
Abstractions tend to detract from the commoners' euphoricisms of the superlatives bequeathed within the ruthless undulations nomenclatured from popularized deniers of said God idols wherein the tactile natural ism is denutured and placidly placed upon rudimentary placards. We all are God's buildings, the structures of plausible acclimations meant to harbor all God's Sons and Daughters in laments to gain in the accrual.

There is little difference between Joseph's statement and the praise ancient Egyptians gave to their sun god, Ra. The only difference is that the Egyptians did not have the scientific knowledge to understand that gods have nothing to do with the motions of the sun, the stars and the planets. Joseph has access to that knowledge, but prefers to give credit to the myth of his choice, anyway.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
May the Lord of Hosts, the Redeemer of the lost find an issue to be reckoned with when the dustiness does settle upon the lands. Raise one's wineglass in retribution for the Heavenly Hosts that beguiles one and all in subversion tactiles of unmentionable clemencies never to be denied as falsehooded factions upon the masses of waivering mobs.

I wonder why they hid the story about the woman dying in Ireland for the sake of someone elses' religion inside the speed read instead of giving it it's own headline?
And while I do try not to judge by appearances, I have to say that the pope just creeps me out.
Exactly my point tallulah.
An Indian women in Ireland died because the doctors there refused to conduct a medically-indicated abortion even though it was clear that the fetus would not survive anyway. And guess what, the woman wasn't even a Catholic!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2232676/Savita-Halappanavar-dies-Irish-doctors-refuse-abortion-saying-This-Catholic-country.html
The UN has decreed contraception "an essential human right".
"Government, civil society, health providors and communities have the responsibility to protect the right to family planning for women across the spectrum, including those who are young or unmarried."
It further decreed that women who use contraception are "generally healthier, better educated, more empowered in their households and communities and more economically productive."
Furthermore, the UN report predicts that giving access to contraception would prevent the premature death of three million babies.
Suck it, Vatican.
FYI: Cap'n Sayin' Nope Atheism Isn't an Angry Prevert Regonzo Rangerfield:
The UN is an international body, speaking to the entire planet.
Keep your xenophobic rants to yourself.
Don't need your stinking UN. It's a blight on New York City, itself a blight on Murica.
North American energy independence = grab Canada
there's your sign
CA: As always you make no sense. Is New York now the governing body of the World?
Anyone who says "there's your sign" is a douche.
“Many people today have a limited concept of what the Christian faith is because they identify it with a mere system of beliefs and values and not with the truth of a God revealing himself in history, eager to communicate with humanity one-on-one in a relationship of love.”
As children of a special-needs God who is unable to communicate, unable to reveal his thoughts except through the thrashings of history, we need to go the extra distance and reach out to it with love and compassion, restrain it and keep it from hurting itself and others.
As the Christian theologian-turned-atheist said :
"The god who is with us, is the god who forsakes us". (p. 360 Letters and Papers from Prison ). "Etsi deus non daretur", (we must live as if god did not exist).
Wherefor art thou when the mitigants tenure from one variant to be towards the other variation?

PRAYER REALLY CHANGED THINGS FOR LASHAUN HARRIS
God answered Mrs. Harris' fervent prayers by letting her know that He was in the mood for human sacrifice.
To please her deity, Lashaun tossed her three children, all under the age of 7, into the San Francisco Bay.
The above poster is a poser. A pretend American who has no connection with San Francisco as it does not live in this country. It's opinion must not be valued in its own country and is much less trying to impress US, we have no use for it. There's your sign
Always a good day when we get to be entertained by the inane and delusional ramblings of hitchens/perv/cap'n
Delusional rantings of CA...the day would not be complete without them. To clarify, not one of us Canadian's have EVER claimed to be from the USA.
CA why don't you change things by praying for intelligence.
Jesus Freaker, prayer doesn't work so there is no hope of them becoming intelligent.
Prayer changes things
A job changes things. Get one and stop posting this nonsense.

Prayer does not; you are such a LIAR. You have NO proof it changes anything! A great example of prayer proven not to work is the Christians in jail because prayer didn't work and their children died. For example: Susan Grady, who relied on prayer to heal her son. Nine-year-old Aaron Grady died and Susan Grady was arrested.
An article in the Journal of Pediatrics examined the deaths of 172 children from families who relied upon faith healing from 1975 to 1995. They concluded that four out of five ill children, who died under the care of faith healers or being left to prayer only, would most likely have survived if they had received medical care.
The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn’t work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs.
Hi Prayerbot.
