So if the church shuts down, the clip-joint gift shops will go out of business? It isn't about god, it's about the spin off industries. Is this where Peter Popoff, and Benny Hinn get their holy water?
How about give them all the free water but seal up all their sewer pipes ? The deal smells good to me !
Human beings thirsty and covered in poo. Nice. Here's hoping you don't work in the health care field. I'd hate to be your patient.
I don't get it, should food be delivered for free also?
God provides everything except free running water 😉
Shut off their water! Let them pray for help.
Only for the new members of this blog:
AND THE INFAMOUS ANGELIC CONS CONTINUE TO WREAK STUPIDITY UPON THE WORLD
Joe Smith had his Moroni. (As does M. Romney)
"Latter-day Saints like M. Romney also believe that Michael the Archangel was Adam (the first man) when he was mortal, and Gabriel lived on the earth as Noah."
Jehovah Witnesses have their Jesus /Michael the archangel, the first angelic being created by God;
Mohammed had his Gabriel (this "tin-kerbell" got around).
Jesus and his family had/has Michael, Gabriel, and Satan, the latter being a modern day demon of the demented. (As does BO and his family)(As do Biden and Ryan)
The Abraham-Moses myths had their Angel of Death and other "no-namers" to do their dirty work or other assorted duties.
Contemporary biblical and religious scholars have relegated these "pretty wingie/horn-blowing thingies" to the myth pile. We should do the same to include deleting all references to them in our religious operating manuals. Doing this will eliminate the prophet/profit/prophecy status of these founders and put them where they belong as simple humans just like the rest of us.
Wow..this added so much to the topic. Oh wait..it didn't.
The mentally ill tend to be atheist types.
Yes, exactly that but completely opposite.
Most, if not all, of this year's public mass murderers were actively-participating Christians. 85% of US prisoners are Christian compared to 1% atheists. 75% of the mentally ill committed are Christian,compared to 3% atheists.
The mentally ill tend to be named 'truth be told'.
Actually, I think trolls are mentally ill.
I spend a lot of time in churches, more than most people, because of my job as a symphony musician.. i have heard more asinine, biased, hateful things said in blissful ways than you can imagine. I have seen speaking in tongues, people in wheelchairs being saved (right in front of me – and I had to keep reminding myself not to laugh because they were paying me, after all.) There are a lot of nice, sane people in churches, but you never hear about an atheist killing in the name of 'there is no god' but you hear about honor killings and religious strife ALL THE FREAKING TIME. So let's stop pretending religion is always a smiley wonderful thing and those of us who question what we can't possibly know live in peace and with some respect.
As a psychiatrist, I know this to be true! Lordy.
Oy, can we get off this mental illness crap. Being atheist or religious does NOT make one mentally ill.
If you click my Apple Bush link I will have occasional treats for you boys and girls.
Let the mentally ill kill each other in the name of their respective magical sky wizards
Will you get off this whole mental illness crap. If you had to deal with someone with PKU oriented Schizophrenia...you might see for a moment has utterly stupid and childish you are with wanting to compare anyone who has a belief to those that really do have a mental illness.
Let them slaughter each other till their beloved land runs red with their blood!
Then we can use their "holy water" to lean the earth of their stain!
I will bring the slip and slide.
