Same difference... heh

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Just for the hell-of-it and of the wild swing in the topic, here's a fun little photo merge I did a couple of years ago with TBN Jan Crouch and T-Rex Sue.

I called it 'Bibletime with Jan and Sue'....

Great gobs o' goose grease! Is that hair real? Can't be, can it? It looks like a noxious fungus eating a smirk. Wow. and I thought the Goths were weird.

It is just as well that Sue is long dead -- if she were to see such a horrific sight, doubtless she'd flee in terror.

Only her wig maker knows for sure, filthy.

As one friend suggested some time ago, the caption should read, "Find the dinosaur in the picture".

Her wig-maker should be impeached! Or at least locked up for creating a public nuisance.

And Jan should save that funky hurricane for Halloween.

No wonder Paul might have expanded his horizons. That thing probably put him off women, perhaps forever.

Say, here's an interesting read on how TBN works. It's a LA Times article so you may have to log on. It's well worth it.
filthy, there's gold in those purple wigs! Amazing how the money just rolls right in.

Greetings Siberia, and welcome!

I see that you are teetering precariously upon the crumbling edge of the psychedelic abyss we know as verlch. If you fall in, as have most of us, you will be hard pressed to get out. He will blindly drag you to the extremes of fantasy; to the very zeneth and the nadir of glorious flapdoodle.

He will claim that you have a soul, then he will devour it!

Kinda fun, actually.

It takes faith there Siberia, faith in your maker that you are here, on this planet Earth, by design and not accident. With all the parts in you that make you wonderfully created. The 25,000 miles worth of blood vessels. The 200 billion + neuron connections in your brain. Your spinal cord, the headquarters of your human body. Each part serves a purpose in your body. What did the liver do while you where evolving mindlessly thourgh time? How did it keep your blood clean so you wouldn't turn yellow and live to see another day. As the penis was evolving, I'm sure it didn't always work at all. How did you propogate as it was mindlessly taking shape.

God can do what ever he pleases and how is he to show you heavenly things if you don't believe the earthly ones, human? Lets just say this, IF I had lived 6000 years ago and had seen God and Jesus laying the foundations of this world, and I told you. Would you beleive me or call me crazy? I think the later. I could go to heaven right now, come back and say I talked with God, would that make you a believer or a skeptic?

We believe in our maker on this planet by faith. BTW with all that I see as evidence of his plan, biblical and the beuty of this planet. Faith to me, turns to fact and I have No doubt I am here not by my own design. To top it off, I might add, full of purpose and vigor!

Broad is the road to destruction and narrow is the path to salvation. Lord knows I've been on the broad road enough!

Most waste this life, why wouldn't we waste the afterlife!!!
Jesus Walks!!!

What came first the chicken or the egg?

How do plants exist without bugs in the soil, and bugs in the soil without plants producing oxygen?

There are no atheists in foxholes

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4

II Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

You can not see the 'wind', but you can see its effect!!!!

Evolution was caused by genetic mistakes at each stage?

Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.

We have not seen such moral darkness since the dark ages, coencides with
teaching evolution in schools. (Moral darkness)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.

"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."

Ah, but you ask for "proof" from those who disagree with you. That's a fine double-standard you've got there, Mr. Hypocrite.

Wow. Life must be so easy for you. All you've got to do is have faith that your bills will be paid, and - pooof! - all done. You must have a lot of free time on your hands.

Yes, I'm not here "by my own design," either. Doesn't mean I'm here because of some invisible deity.

Indeed, going along with two billion other people is the broad and easy way. It may not lead to your destruction, but it sure is leading you away from reality. The narrow, difficult route - the way chosen by so few people in this world - is to face facts: life is ugly and short, and there is no evidence of any sort of existence after death.

The funniest thing is, that even if the whole biblical account was fact, and even if somebody (say me) went and had a nice chat with god.... if I came back to earth and didn't deliver the exact preconcieved message that people like verlch think I should deliver, then they would just think I was some daft fool who was in need of some anti-psychotic meds.

Just make sure you bring evidence back from your chat with god verlch. The guy is supposed to be all powerfull afterall, so some tidbit of irrefutable evidence of his existance should be easy to manage.....
