You can never have too much God or Bible! And as far as I am concerned, tax dollars could not be spent in any better way! Btw this is a GOD fearing individual as well!

That's you wanting your subjective beliefs on the masses then, with no proof of any kind.

We are a diverse nation and people do not need to worry about their children being taught someone else's religion in school. Class time is limited and our education system is already behind. Wasting school ours on evangelism is foolish.

You do not need the government meddling in abstract matters like religion. Schools should teach facts, critical thinking, and objectively measurable skills.

Parents should handle religious subjects at home or church. You should not need the nanny state to help you with that.

"You do not need the government meddling in abstract matters like religion. Schools should teach facts, critical thinking, and objectively measurable skills." wooten ky

Well said, public schools are not here for these westboro christians to spread their hatred.

"Freedom from discrimination — Declaration of civil rights.

This right shall include, but not be limited to...." (quote unquote)

Nasty-some of those Westboro types.

Extreme is as extreme does.

Spreading hate is NEVER good, no matter the "race, creed or color".

John
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten
Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world, but that the world through him may be saved.
3:18 He that believeth on him, is not condemned: but he that
believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the
world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.
3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
.
Do you see anything in here that says...
Another person can pray you towards salvation???
Do you see where it says... You donnot realy WANT salvation??
I do, or you'd be on your knees repenting, and ASKING God to clean you of YOUR sins...
When that happens... You WILL have your proof!
.
I'd love for you to really want salvation, as you'd
be back on here, telling ALL the others...
"God is real, and He is AWESOME!
Just as every other Christian!

wow, wont even give a try will ya? guess u know that prayer isnt answered but to do my challenge will just show just how stupid the bible claims are becuz no matter how many of your ppl pray, i will never see the resurrected christ. but if u were doin your duties as a cjristian u would be tryin to save each and every soul u encounter or kill it when it dont convert. u are just another bible thumping hypocrit i guess.

[so true]

Before you decide to make someone an enemy,

you should walk a mile in their shoes.

That way,

you'll be a mile away,

and they will be shoeless.

If
this seems senseless;
then you have gotten my point!

[so true]

Sometimes we feel lost, but we are not really lost and just as we are about to despair, a sign, a light, a smile enter our lives to lift us up.

Every new day holds new opportunities ... to love.

May you feel warm and loved.
Hugs.

[Known Fact]

REMEMBER, JEHOVAH IS WITH US!

John 14:12
We are now privileged to share in the GREATEST WORK ever entrusted to God’s human servants---that of declaring the Kingdom message and making disciples.(Matt.24:14; 28:19,20) We now number 7,224,934 and put in 1,707,094,710 hours and conducted on the average 8,490,746 Bible studies in 2011 alone. How grateful we are for Jesus’ matchless example! He “went journeying from city to city and from village to village, preaching and declaring the good news of the Kingdom of God.”(Luke 8:1) Like him, we need faith and courage in order to preach the Kingdom message. With God’s help, we can be like courageous Noah, an intrepid “preacher of righteousness” to “a world of ungodly people” about to perish in a global deluge.- 2 Peter 2:4,5.

"A certain man was going down the lonely road from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who stripped him of all that he had and beat him; and then went away, leaving him almost dead. It happened that a certain priest was going down that road; and when he saw the man lying there, he passed by on the other side. And a Levite, also, when he came to the place, and saw the man, he too went by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he was going down, came where this man was; and as soon as he saw him, he felt a pity for him. He came to the man, and dressed his wounds, pouring oil and wine into them. Then he lifted him up, and set him on his own beast of burden, and walked beside him to an inn. There he took care of him all night; and the next morning he took out from his purse two shillings, and gave them to the keeper of the inn, and said:'Take care of him; and if you need to spend more than this, do so; and when I come again I will pay it to you.'"

"Which one of these three, do you think, showed himself a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?"
The scribe said: "The one who showed mercy on him."
Then Jesus said to him: "Go and do thou likewise."

By this parable, Jesus showed that "our neighbor" is the one who needs the help that we can give him, whoever they may be.
----------

"A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped him and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead." Then Jesus described the actions of three men who passed the injured man. The first man was a priest. When he saw the man, he crossed the road and ignored him. The next man was a Levite. He, too, chose to cross to the other side of the road and continue on his way. But the third man was a Samaritan.

The Samaritans and the Jews have hated each other for centuries. Jesus knew the people were probably expecting the Samaritan in the story to cross the road as well. Jesus continued his story. "But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction,'Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.'"

Then Jesus looked into the man's eyes and asked him,“Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?" The man said plainly, "The one who treated him with mercy." Then Jesus said, "Go and do likewise."

Jonah and the Whale is a famous Biblical story, read and celebrated by Christians, Jews and Muslims. During the story, Jonah (or Yunus as he is known in Islam), is called to board a ship to preach to the people of Nineveh. Since Jonah is reluctant to answer The Call, God sends a storm to test Jonah's faith. Jonah is tossed overboard and spends several days in a whale, trying to hide from God; however, he finds he cannot hide.

This story is often told as a lesson in recognizing tests of faith, and is traditionally read by Jews on Yom Kippur.

Most likely, because the people around them weren't taught any better.

idolatry is not considered moral by anyone but the profane.

he who wishes to be greatest must be servant to all.

thus he who wishes to be greatest does not recognize any difference between self and other self.

it's called the LAW of ONE by some.

jehovah is not the name.

imagine an infinite number of tongues all describing the same ONE in their own language and from differing cultures, or points in space/time.

The idoltry thing is comprehendable...idle hands, devils playground, or did you mean idoltry as in-
“Rationalists are admirable beings, rationalism is a hideous monster when it claims for itself omnipotence. Attribution of omnipotence to reason is as bad a piece of idolatry as is worship of stock and stone believing it to be God. I plead not for the suppression of reason, but for a due recognition of that in us which sanctifies reason.”(Ghandi)

“Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.”(Pope JP II)
But the rest...Maybe next time try it en Englais?(or did you mean to say, see how the same story sometimes actually exists through out MANY "different religions"?) therefore not actually being as "babelish" as such may seem?
