But remember some of us are worth sticking around for ! Go to the Games section for a while or read "The Onion" newspaper online. It usually brings a smile to my disbelieving face after reading some posts. They're not worth, they're not worth it, they're not worth it... My mantra when I feel like exploding over the internet. Not that it always works.


Think cute fluffy thoughts and breathe deeply :

puppies photos - Google Search

kitties photos - Google Search

baby donkeys - Google Search

Overload of cuteness sickliness can be helpful either by making one feel warm and fuzzy or simply by transferring the nausea to a nicer subject.
LOL, I needed that. Their hate and garbage spewing is really sad and sick. Makes me long for highschool days when we took care of it the old fashioned way.

You ever heard of giving someone enough rope to hang themselves, well God repeatedly gives man chances to change his ways to avoid a coming disaster, weather it be manmade or natural, and those who chose to ignore His warning will suffer.

This is a Christian thread and there is no rule against spreading the truth.

How about the flood that destroyed everything except Noah, his family and the animals on the ark? As for nations, how about all the people the Israelites defeated? Those nations were destroyed, and remembered no more.

If you read what i write in context, i say no such thing. His system is automatic.

Sin brings pain and suffering.

Righteousness bring life and joy.

godspeed,

freedom
Actually, God created us to be perfect. It's our own fault that we are not. We were perfect before we inherited this body. We just have to rid our souls of the encrustments.

Pain and suffering were not part of God's plan. Someone else created those things by disobeying the Laws. Now, the innocent suffer as much as the guilty. God had no part in it.

In an ideal and real world, there is no pain or suffering and all are perfect. We just haven't gotten to that point yet.

No, God did not have a hand in what happened and to say so goes against God even if you try to rationalize it with what you deem as righteous. God doesn't like suffering or pain. He is Love and has a love for them as much as everyone no matter what we have done to our lives.

Let's help by sending them Love. Love, so that they can ease their pain and Love so that they may become stronger and hold their head up high and face what has been brought onto them. Pray that God will see past our own comfort to aid the down hearted and homeless in that place. If we can't do anything, lets at least give them that. Lets love their pain away.

If that man is a Christian, then I was right about them all along.
