Re: Should people have the right to freedom FROM religion?
when in modern history has religon been 'imposed' on any of you? I dont preach it to anyone who tells me they dont want to hear it, however I will defend myself with it when attacked, if you dont like hearing dont attack me about it...JD, if the word 'impose' means you guys have to hear about it sometimes let think about what impose really means and get back to me if anyone is forcing you to believe something, I ll send the ACLU and theyll clear it up straight awayuntil then....

when nations die-the fate of man?
When Nations DieNations and empires actually do have "life cycles." This has been studied by many historians throughout the years and they all have come to about the same conclusion: a lifetime of about two centuries. And they all seem to go through the same life cycle: "from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependence back again into bondage (Alexander Tyler, 1750)."Where are we in this… Read More

No one can compre… Read More

Believer and non believer are welcome, it has stuck out to me as the most phlisopically themed portion of the bible, and wether you believe in god, gods, or no god, or if you dont know what you believe in, i think this reading could illustrate that feeling for those of us who are used to gettin lost in neverending theological debates Read More
