Why does anyone care about what anyone else believes? Who cares? Why even comment? I find the beliefs of many religions truly bizarre but it doesn't impact me so I don't care. As soon as anyone advocates passing laws I find objectionable then I will start attacking their ideas, not their beliefs. Tolerance people, tolerance.

I don't think anyone cares if he believes in a religious zombie, I think what people don't want is him marrying 12 year old girls.

Tolorance only goes so far. When it's goes beyond what someone can rationalize then it seems insane. Nobody can be tolorant of something insane. That would be crazy.

"The criminal complaint included accounts from three of the girls, two of whom were 17 when the complaint was filed last year and one who was 14. All three said Alamo sexually abused them.
***
Asked why authorities were searching the property, Alamo compared himself to Christ.

'Why were they after Jesus,' he asked. 'It's the same reason. Jesus is living within me.'"

Their laws are causing the majority of our youth to go to hell for fornication, murdering babies, lesbianism and homosexuality. Which man says is ok. But don't marry! God requires humans to be married and no where did he say to wait till you are of any age. It's not there..He says it's better to marry than to burn and to let the young women marry. Pastor Alamo is not promoting this due to the fact that most people are not raising their children into the roles that God has put forth for young women and men. Now they are being treated and considered children well past the age of maturity. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord and obey and keep his laws written in his word. I hope that ALL will repent and read what God has to say about what is righteous and what isn't. The most important decision you will ever make is where you will spend eternity..Heaven or hell. More truth is that most will be in hell because they decided to follow their own wicked hearts and vain imaginations instead of reading the one thing that will ensure they make it into heaven. The bible!


So now we must allow our children to marry at puberty or go to hell.

BTW, onset of puberty is coming at a younger and younger age, even as young as 8!

While previous studies have found that girls typically began showing signs of puberty at 10 to 11, a new report by the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society (LWPES), a nationwide network of physicians headquartered in Stanford, California, suggests that it is normal for white girls as young as 7 and black girls as young as 6 to start developing breasts. This conclusion was based on a study of 17,000 girls between the ages of 3 and 12 conducted by the Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) network of 1,500 pediatricians nationwide and published in the April 1997 issue of "Pediatrics."

If anyone acts on it they will be arrested. He can believe whatever he wants.
