Strangle a person with what? Rope? Rope comes from plants you know ;) I think that falls under wood.

I'm Neutral when it comes to elected officials, right now I think Bush is doing an OK job but could do a lot better. This is coming from a person with Iraqi heritage, so I know what I'm talking about when I judge Mr. Bush's actions. My family is very happy that lunatic Hussein is out of power.

Everything must be taken in moderation. Everything. God gives us all things and some things are intended for specific uses (Hemp for rope and clothes and foods, NOT DRUGS 8) ) and some are to be used in moderation. God gives us wine and we enjoy it, but we're told not to overdrink. The same principl...

I'm sorry I had to cast my vote that way, but that's the way I feel (I chose the last option). I see gifts from God as only that and nothing that is latent within our minds that needs unlocking. A Christian with "psychic" powers really just has a gift from God, nothing special considering ...

As long as they don't try to equate it as holy matrimony, I'm insulted if a Gay couple saw themselves at that level.

It is the Roman Catholic sacrament where a believer eats a consecrated wafer and drinks wine. Roman Catholics believe that during the sacrament, the bread and wine become the flesh and blood of Christ and that only through eating it can they be saved. They literally eat the flesh of Christ to be sav...

Please define what you mean by "bad", and tell me how you know if something is "bad"? I define the term 'bad' as doing something which hurts other individuals for your own personal gain. We know something is 'bad' when another person is in anyway injured by the actions of the ba...

I find it ironic that a bunch of MEN can decide when a baby is truly alive or not. Shouldn't that be left up to the mother who is actually carrying this being inside her? Should a country be able to decide to kill someone with no reason other than convenience that dwells within it? You can't own hu...

Talk with your brother! He is letting himself be subject to satan's grasp and only when it is loosened will he find mercy from the Lord. Talk to him, tell him you love him and that you want him to be healthy. Show him the good that is Jesus and show him how Jesus is greater than Satan, much greater....

Let faith be your shield and reason be your sword as you beat Satan and his temptation into a bloody pulp through the power of Christ :D I had the same thoughts when I just turned into a Christian. What I think it was? Well, when I converted, I was giving up ALL the evil in my life, just look at thi...

I've downloaded music from artists that have made it a point that they don't mind it. Iron Maiden for example, I know the lead singer has said on radio that he was going to play a song and he told everyone who could bootleg it off the radio to do so. I'm very deadset on buying the albums as well, th...

Napoleon was ambitious and power-hungry, I'm pretty sure Christ spoke against such people. Then again, that's nothing compared to what the Anti-Christ is going to be. He'll be so evil that no one will ever know, anyone ever read the book "Wizards First Rule" by Terry Goodkind? It's a terri...

It is never right to take money that is in a wallet or has identification. When I find change on the floor, I pick it up. Coins that hit the ground are very noisy and few people actually mind losing them. I also see it as a little help from God sometimes as well (there's a story behind this) : Somet...

Homosexuality is "bad" because it is giving in to desire and lust. It is the same thing as a man who has several sexual partners, it is adultery and lusting for worldly pleasure. You can love someone without having a sexual desire for them, I love all my male friends as much as my female f...

I believe that we should not take part in assisted suicide. Suicide isn't something God condones so why should we assist it? In Numbers, God knows things we don't, since He's God we know that his order was just, righteous, and perfectly correct (I imagine the children wouldn't be punished in the aft...
