Dallas, TX:

NTC, NY:

NYC has twice the violent crimes PER CAPITA as Dallas.
Your chances of being the victim of a violent crime in NYC are TWICE that of Dallas.

Well, Sparky, you claimed it was sent by a god, but it was actually sent by boat.

The stats I posted were PER CAPITA RATES.
NYC is twice Dallas.
Get an education or a personality.

You have nothing but silly ad hominems. You are a failure. A loser in love and a C student.

NEW YORK — New York remained the safest of the nation’s 10 largest cities in 2005, with about one crime reported for every 37 people, according to FBI statistics.

The annual report “shows that our innovative efforts to reduce crime and increase New Yorkers’ quality of life are working,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement Monday after the agency released the figures.
The large city with the highest total crime rate was Dallas, with about one crime reported for every 12 people. Los Angeles, the nation’s second largest city, ranked third safest, with about one crime for every 26 people.
San Jose took the No. 2 spot, while San Diego ranked fourth. Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, San Antonio and then Phoenix followed.

if you consider God's remedy/Christ for human failure a "loophole" and you refuse it, you will not be allowed to bring your fallen nature into God's eternal Kingdom. i.e., He's not going to allow you to mess things up there like you've messed things up here.

That sure is a funny way to express your love for all people. Weirdo.

Romans 10:9-10


9 If you declare with your mouth,“Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Just do it and mean it... ya hear me

let's cut to the chase and see who's the individual nazi between us:
i love God, Jews, Christians and all people. what say you?

Yeah, that's why you treat women badly, tell others they are going to be tortured for all of eternity and preach to people who have asked you not to do so, when Jesus very succinctly told you to dust off your sandals and walk away.

You don't love anyone, waassuupp. You just say sh*t like that because you are told that's what you're supposed to say to drag the deluded by the hair into your delusion.

<quoted text>I bet he does !! I would also bet you're as big as the Grand Canyon down there... With a odor that would numb a Buffalo...:(

Since you are here to lead others to Christ could you tell me how this post applies. I researched and could find nothing to support your claim.

If you look most translations of the Bible use the word ox...

http://bible.cc/numbers/23-22.htm

You will notice that only Darby uses buffalo.

And here still again only Darby uses the term buffalo...

http://bible.cc/job/39-9.htm

Now at both sites you will notice that a rhino was referred to a few times along with the unicorn.

The Grand Canyon is not specifically mentioned in the Bible but I do acknowledge that some believe that it was form during the great flood. Who knows though...could have just always been there.

I just could not find any reference in the Bible to the discussion of how large someone is...down there as you say. Could you possibly give me scripture?

Answering a question with a question.
I'll take that as a total concession as you are unable to discuss the topic from experience or qualified information.

Really? But He lives. Although I must agree that much 'religion' does just that.

I thought you were a follower of Christ. That would make you have a religion just like everyone else, even it's just a religion of one.

Why try to divorce yourself from religion? Has Christianity become so distasteful that even while practicing it as you interpret it you are ashamed to be associated with the religion of Christianity?

I personally have a religion of my own. I don't try to say I don't have a religion. I just say that I am not a part of any organized religion and that I take from each good thing I run across and try to incorporate it into my own belief system. Some of that comes from some of the words of Jesus. Some of it comes from Taoism. Some of it comes from Buddhism. Some of it comes from those with greater minds than mine, whether religious or not. Paine, Jefferson, Ghandi, M L King, Sagan, Hahn, Emerson and others have influenced how I think. Still, what I have is a belief system and therefore a religion.

You can't say that religion in itself is bad when you yourself practice one. You can say that organized religion has bastardized everything Jesus taught, or any other great teacher taught and be pretty much on the money.

I don't have a problem with people practicing a religion. I have a problem with someone telling everyone they have to believe or burn.

You seem to have mellowed out since the last time you visited here. That's a good thing.

In The Mahabharata: An evil king, along with his allies, defeats (through deception) five other kings who are then sent into exile for 12 years. On the 13th year, the five kings go “incognito” so the evil king cannot find them. And during the 14th year, a great war takes place - a Battle of the Kings - where kings and their armies are slaughtered in great numbers, this battle took place in Kurukshetra in Northwest India.
This great slaughter is said to have taken place around 2500 to 2000 BCE.
Further, according to Hindu history there was an Avatar of the One True God, on Earth during that period of time who was also a King – Krishna – a full Avatar of the One True God.
According to Hindu sources, Krishna went as a Peace Messenger to the evil king to persuade him not to go to battle, and to return all the property and goods he had taken from the five other kings. He came as an envoy of Peace and the King of Dharma or Righteousness. But the evil king, puffed with pride and ego would not listen. Hence the battle took place.
Krishna was pleased with the outcome of the war, and blessed all those who had come to the aid of the five kings.

Gods who are pleased and appeased by war and the death of others are not Gods to worship. They are Gods to abhor.
