What do you mean works better? When people are willing to believe that people they are about are going to bur... |

| Hey, frying in torment for eternity builds character! As I remember, that's a little controversial. There are differing views on it. I always believed that everything built character, especially suffering. You piqued my interest, care to elaborate with some cutting-edge examples? Though you might n... |

| Personally, I can't really say I'm "pro-life" or "pro-choice". Though, if I was forced to choose one or the other, I would opt for "pro-choice" since as far as I'm concerned, choices are good, the more the merrier. However, a lot of the mentalities of the pro-choice argument seem to filled with peop... |

| I can cast out demons, but they just come back in a few minutes or move to the next 'empty vessel'. I guess I don't have what Jesus did. These days I just ask 'demon, what is your name?' to establish whether the person (usually spouting abuse or defaming me) is possessed. It's more for my own satis... |

| Humanists are helpless against these things. Shamans and other occultists can only negotiate with the demons, trading one demon for a less obnoxious demon. But it is always Satan that gains in the transaction. שָׂטָן Ha-Satan means "accuser" (adversary) in the Ta... |

| You may disagree with God, but He is still the only show in town. Why did God limit his absolute sovereignty like this? I don't know. You will have to ask him yourself. Google actually gives me results, the closest thing to an Omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence. http://www.thechurchofgoog... |

Is this one of those things that make us liars, frauds and hypocrites, or are we just trying to be nice and failing miserably? Are we all liars, frauds and hypocrites? Is th... |
