Why should I subjugate my needs to please a nonexistent entity who's only "proof" of existence is a bible written by a tribe of genocidal desert marauders?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381224391260954323.post-4052003405878603152010-02-12T11:38:23.408-08:002010-02-12T11:38:23.408-08:00Much of Christianity today has a far too humanitar...Much of Christianity today has a far too humanitarian flavor for my tastes. Yes, we are to be "seeker sensitive", and reach out to people in need, but not at the expense of absolute loyalty to God and His Word. And it's not all about "my" needs either. The bottom line is this: Pleasing God is far more important than pleasing ourselves, and there will be times in the Christian life when God will ask us to give up something, or to go without something, or to suffer something, for the sake and cause of His kingdom. <br /><br />It's time to stop fixating on our personal needs and start actually worshiping our Creator. God is not a cosmic genie waiting to fulfill our every demand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381224391260954323.post-3386125891819148752010-01-25T07:00:30.392-08:002010-01-25T07:00:30.392-08:00Menifee school officials remove dictionary over te...Menifee school officials remove dictionary over term 'oral sex'<br /><br />http://www.pe.com/localnews/inland/stories/PE_News_Local_W_sdictionary22.414bdf0.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381224391260954323.post-55987109604551077712010-01-23T18:18:00.806-08:002010-01-23T18:18:00.806-08:00I found this article via wikio.

We are meek, humble in a lot of aspects and so we allow those that wish to subvert to do so not knowingly but through our freedoms we profess to believe in the enemy, if you allow me to use that term, is taking advantage of. <br /><br />Too kind to survive ? Could be.. <br /><br />Hope this comment helps expand the article in a new light. As for your article nicely written but your use of the word 'evolution' bothers me some nothing I cannot get over. <br /><br />Thanks!reverent1http://reverent1.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381224391260954323.post-24628514098037158992010-01-22T10:11:51.888-08:002010-01-22T10:11:51.888-08:00When I was trying to be religious, I noticed an od...When I was trying to be religious, I noticed an odd generation gap: younger Christians prefer "praise and worship" services and activities, while older Christians do not. I suspect that this relates directly to the amount of hard times that the person has experienced. The Christian memeplex is trying to adapt to incorporate folks with both perspectives, and at least on the liberal end it is halfheartedly succeeding.Steve Rehnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205764543217855964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381224391260954323.post-29141512950295443002010-01-22T08:58:03.493-08:002010-01-22T08:58:03.493-08:00Part of the problem is that christianity can leave...Part of the problem is that christianity can leave people worse off than they would be otherwise and then they feel that they need it. <br /><br /><br />For example. 10% of income (pre-tax of course) should go to a church (according to christianity, or the flavor here in the south) <br /><br />I have a friend who makes about ten grand more than I do and yet because he gives 10% pre-tax to his church I live far more comfortably than he does and still put more away for a rainy day. <br /><br />Then think about people who shun education for both themselves and their children. They are lessening their overall earning potential (in many cases but not all) and deliberately decreasing their exposure to other ideas (memes). Even if they pursue higher ed they often attend christian schools where the christian meme is reinforced. <br /><br /><br />And then there is operating within christianity itself a sense of guilt and shame. <br /><br />By marking natural urges as "sinful" and then proclaiming that the only way to conquer the 'sin' is to become even more enmeshed in christianity... can be a downward spiral. Even if their life is great otherwise the guilt and shame (some externally imposed and some internal) can cause stress and depression which then effects the rest of their life, both changing their perspective of what is 'good' and possibly leading them to, either through action or inaction, mess up the good that they have going on.ineffiblemind@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
