Yes, certainly more than the unjust schools.

Let the just schools, regardless of what the unjust schools of whatever religious denomination say... let the just schools make the decisions, and let the chips fall where they may.

Don''t give up your day job...

I knew you could not stay focused.

Hell is on EARTH.

It seems to me when Bush inferred outrage at the Saudi sentence of this woman would be speaking out as well of Jamie Leigh Jones and The Haliburton(KBR) rape, which they destroyed all evidence except the medical witnesses, Darth Vader is keeping him mum on the subject I guess. If you think the Saudi government was outrageous what about our government Mr. Bush and Congress where are you on this issue?

The following book should be required reading in every American school:

Why should I believe an author who''s religion denies Jesus Christ as the Son of God?

Talk about being silly...

Thanks for this information. I''d definately read that.

I hear you.

Of course my statement that "Hagar [Haggar] Slacks" represent a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, was intended as a joke.

(I have to keep in shape until the strike is over, and Conan O"Brien ttakes me back.)

One of the silliest historical misstatements was this:

"In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world... And everyone went to his own town to register."

There is absolutely no historical evidence that the Romans required everybody to return "to his own town" to "register" for any supposed census.

But people just sit in church and nod their heads every time this silly story in recited each Christmas.

"The US needs to offer her safe conduct and a haven here..." posted by jiminoregon


Do you think the U.S. could protect her? I doubt it.

[patriotic9]

In the mean time, the barbaric clerics haven''''t changed their minds, attitudes or beliefs...and that is what the real problem is
Posted by jiminoregon at 08:05 PM : Dec 17, 2007

Those barbaric cleric are muslims and their faith islam is nothing but an extreme form of the PSYCHOSIS "CHRISTIANITY".

Christian bible accuses a woman of helping devil in getting a man kicked out of heaven. Islam took it to extreme and suggested 200 lashes for a woman guilty of being alone with a non-relative man.

Christianity denied Homosexual''s right of marriage while giving same right to the Heterosexuals (DISCRIMINATION based on SEXUAL ORIENTATION which is a violation of Human rights). islam took it to extreme and suggested death sentence for somebody caught in the homosexual act.

World faces great danger from the RADICAL ISLAM. We can not fight and defeat RADICAL ISLAM unless we destroy and crush the root of it known as CHRISTIANITY.

[jimc52]

It''s the only rational decision to make (pardoning her)...even though it is not her that needs pardoning. The US needs to offer her safe conduct and a haven here, before her father, brothers or uncle murder her if she isn''t already dead. In the mean time, the barbaric clerics haven''t changed their minds, attitudes or beliefs...and that is what the real problem is. Any nation that promotes the victim being punished is a nation without reason or law, just a country of barbarians...a relic, antiquated, meaningless in a modern world. If muslims want to know what every other human being in the world thinks about their savage, inhumane and ugly laws, let them change it. They need to change like the rest of the world...because their barbarian laws just don''t cut it. Who knows, the next time this happens, they''ll just whip the woman to death and say nothing to the world about it. I still think we should build a million gallon tank of their own oil and boil them in it.

One of the following verses gotta be lie as they contradict each other;

Verse
Matthew 2:1 Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king (So Jesus was born about the year 6 B.C.)
Contradicting verse
Luke 2:1-7And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)... And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. (so Jesus was born about the year 7 C.E. FULLY THIRTEEN YEARS LATER)



Verse
Acts 9:26-29 and Acts 26:19-21(Paul is saved)
Contradicting verse
Galatians 1:15-22(Was he really?)



Verse
Acts 9:7(heard voice, saw no man)
Contradicting verse
Acts 22:9(no voice, saw light)

Matt.10:2-4, Mark3:16-19 (Jesus apostles'''''''' names, the twelfth is Lebbeus who''''''''s surname was Thaddeus) Luke
Contradicting verse
6:14-16 (apostles'''''''' names now different, the twelfth in Luke is Judas the brother of James)

Verse
Matthew 27:5 (Judas hangs Verse
himself)
Contradicting verse
Acts 1:18 (Judas falls headlong, his bowels gush)

Verse
Matthew 11:13-14,17:13 (Elias is John the Baptist)
Contradicting Verse
John 1:21 (Elias is not John the Baptist)

[patriotic9]

According to the Bible, Sarah (Abraham"s wife) was childless, yet desired a son. She offered her maidservant Hagar to Abraham as a surrogate. Customs of the time dictated that, although Hagar was the birth mother, any child conceived would belong to Sarah and Abraham. Hagar became pregnant and proud of herself, which resulted in harsh treatment by Sarah. Hagar fled and ran into the wilderness

"And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation." - Genesis 21:16-18

And the Lord promised not only to care and provide for Hagar"s son, but also to cause a great line of slacks to be named in her honor.

And so Arab oil and Hagar Slacks came to be, even as the Lord God hath spoken.

Posted by Iceman_1960 at 07:28 PM : Dec 17, 2007

All these NON-SENSE you wrote don''t make any sense in this 21st century.

The summary of all of that is the phenomenon of human beings good or bad, blessed or non-blessed on the basis of whose descent they are, not on the basis of their actions.

Why should we care what''s written in bible, a book full of lies.

Like I said we do have a few stupid people.

There is a few that like the prices of houses now but weather?

Is there anywhere you can go down there where there isn''t tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding and earthquakes etc.? Actually that kind of sounds like the 2nd Coming is near, doesn''t it?

Whoops, it"s "Haggar Slacks," not "Hagar."

But what the h*eck.

A God who can part the Red Sea, can certainly deal with a small grammatical malfunction.

"What"s the Christian theory about how God gave the Arabs all the oil?"
- Posted by USBrit at 04:23 PM : Dec 17, 2007

There is one !!!

The Arabs are supposedly descended from Ishmael.

According to the Bible, Sarah (Abraham"s wife) was childless, yet desired a son. She offered her maidservant Hagar to Abraham as a surrogate. Customs of the time dictated that, although Hagar was the birth mother, any child conceived would belong to Sarah and Abraham. Hagar became pregnant and proud of herself, which resulted in harsh treatment by Sarah. Hagar fled and ran into the wilderness

"And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation." - Genesis 21:16-18

And the Lord promised not only to care and provide for Hagar"s son, but also to cause a great line of slacks to be named in her honor.

And so Arab oil and Hagar Slacks came to be, even as the Lord God hath spoken.
