Triss-

You have no idea how funny your "family culture" sounded to me...
I mean in a good way.

People have sought an "honorable way to die" for ions. lol.

Vikings thought it was bravery. Avoiding the pain of aging more like.

on Condemnation...the Bible says " therefore......there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"

Religion is for bathtubs and barbie dolls....format, formalities, bingo, man made rituals..hipocracy...hoopla...brainwash....money... politics
the Bible is the word of God given for us to learn to avoid all that....

I agree.

Fact is, religious people killed Jesus.

For only 3 1/2 years of public ministry and no twitter account, He managed to alter history and the lives of millions.

Witnesses said: "the common people heard him gladly"

Well, He is still trying to change people that is what He is in business for ...He is in business to change us...got me...I was a drunk and an addict who could not go one hour without ...and yes the "religious" people did kill Him...and He called them...backstabbers, hipocrites, soothsayers, etc etc...

I don't subscribe to any organized religion. I do think religion should be private and personal. I find it offensive to see Jesus bumper stickers and t-shirts...to each his own.

Here's an amazing tune...

Armageddon Days Are Here (Again) / The The

"But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hijacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising, the Christians mobilizing
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds"

Sorry, forgot the link...

But to give credit where credit's due, he did turn water into wine and the way things have been going lately that could come in very handy :-)
