How truly excellent! There is a ton of interesting tidbits for the religious mindset. Ever wonder how the bible came to take its current form? Or maybe wonder if there was something missing? Read this book! Then get a copy of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi Library (both available at amazon.com). It is even more amazing than I thought, and I've had my Rev.

I will say this: when you are ready to book your next flight, DO NOT USE AMERICAN AIRLINES! I will explain in a later post. Be excellent to each other.Rev.

Why haven't you seen The Passion yet? If you have faith, this will make it real. If you had faith and lost it, this will guide you home. If you don't have faith yet, this will give you some. Not that I'm a big fan of organized religion - I'm not. But we all need to have faith. Jesus can give you faith through his suffering - I mean, anyone who would willingly put Rev.

Good. Now, why should we believe that a Democrat will be a better president than a Republican (or vice versa for that matter)? They all say the same things, only Dems want to tax you more so they can spend more on saving you from yourself, and the Reps want the rich to get tax breaks so that crass consumerism can save you from noticing that you aren't rich.
Of course, politicians Rev.

I've seen the movie, I nearly cried when Mary ran to Jesus' side while he was carrying the cross and have felt the shame of taking God for granted. I feel no ill will towards Jews - sure, they crucified a man who preached peace, but that was then, this is now. Times and people change and world history is full of Rev.
