i'm the king of the world. prove me wrong!
Candidates using religion to lure in votes? wow! Very desperate! It shows their character. Don't these candidates have real issue's they want to address that they can sell to the public? Why not then just send everyone a bottle of wine with a little note that reads, vote for me. lol
Most of them are probably just generating demand for their next book.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and the rulers as useful; Seneca (4BC-65AD)
Prayer changes nothing.
Prayer has wasted time throughout the course of history
Prayer defines idiots.
Prayer gives HeavenSent lots of practice on her fat wobbly knees.
To the master the bible says you can have many slaves.
Prayer opens the bowels like high fiber Raisin Bran.
Prayer changes things
I am, SHOCKED, APPALLED, ANGRY, and UPSET that the belief blog has yet to acknowledge the newest religion on the world stage.
Kopimism! CTRL – C and CTRL – V are the sacred symbols and it is holy to share information, regardless of copyright law. This is one religion I am more than happy to hop on board with. WHO'S WITH ME!
STEPHEN HAWKING IS TURNING 70!
Just thought everyone should know.
I JUST OPENED A BOTTLE OF WATER!
Just thought everyone should know.
THE EARTH IS AT THE SAME POSITION IT WAS LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME IN RELATION TO THE SUN!
Just thought everyone should know.
I JUST CELEBRATED NEW YEAR'S RECENTLY!
Just thought everyone should know.
Considering Stephen wasn't supposed to live past 25, turning 70 with Lou Gehrigs disease is a little bit of a bigger deal than the above mentioned, albeit true things posted above. Some would call it miraculous, but what I love the most is that here is a guy that has confounded science and has lived way past his supposed expiration date and DOESN'T thank god or attribute it to divine intervention.
May he enjoy another 70 and be equally productive and influential in it.
OKAY I AM WISHING STEPHEN HAWKING A HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOW!
Just thought I'd make another post like you thought I would.
OKAY WHY ISN'T EVERYONE STILL SHOUTING?
Just thought I'd ask in case you knew why.
SHOUTING HURTS MY THROAT
Just thought I'd tell you the effects of shouting.
what happened to the AM team? I am so disappointed with their unannouced disappearance,they had great chemistry.i dont care for the new morn forum,altho i admire Soledad.
The biggest religion story yesterday was the Roman bishop from the LA Diocese who quit when they discovered he had a wife and two kids.
did they ever teach you about the pope who housed his mistresses and his kids by them in the vatican – they even built rooms on to the main building to accommodate the extra people....did they teach you that? No? well thats because there were too many popes who did that and this priest is very literally just following in his masters foot prints... what worries me is when is the priest going to start a world war against any and all non roman catholic followers. History is a sweet kiss to realities bite, and its best learned before the leap young gr@sshopper. Perseverance is a character trait long lost to the clergy, now they just quit like the job is always was instead of the calling they claimed it to be...and in by doing reveal the truth of themselves, they are nothing more then liers in one form or another. Cheats. May the only surprises that suprise be new ones.
Of course grasshopper knows that, master. Does master know the names of the poopes who did have kids ? Does master know the names of the families in Europe today who are the actual descendents of those poopes, and the country where most of them live ? Cough 'em up master. Oops, grasshopper must not be disrespectful. Please master, Google them for us.
i did not google what i alreay know – and there names are of no importance except by those whom they are related to. I was just making a point that this is nothing new nor was it unforseen. Hence why its not the biggest news story here, in my opinion that is. I didn't mean to insult but if i did then i am sorry – i was simply enjoying the idea of when this WAS news... history can be fun. Enjoy it when it replays!
The allegations are lengthy and complex. Wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_se.xually_active_popes and particularly its source material may help.
Grasshopper not insulted. Grasshopper has observed master here many times, and is big fan of HP. Grasshopper just playing with master.
