Attention! - To the Wondering Soul
The following is a brief message.
Think before you act,
Do your best at everything you do.
Consider how others will react.
For, I know the truth.
Relax, breathe, things aren't so bad.
We're all doing what we think we can,
We're all confused,
We're all human.
For, I know the truth.
There is no evil in this world,
There are simply inner fires.
There is simply greed,
There are simply desires.
For, I know the truth.
We're all the same,
We're all completly different.
I speak out to you, my generation,
Think before you act.
For, I know the truth.

i'd like some clarification on several of your comments, please.
<No, it doesn?t depend on how you view it. No matter how you look at it, it is still evil, >
what is ?it?, exactly?
<even if you yourself think it to be right, if you think that killing people is acceptable then you are wrong. >
so, it?s okay for us to do it, but not for them?
<The problem with people today is that they think that everyone is right, no matter what.>
which people would those be?
<? the plan is this, you say something long enough eventually people will believe it. That?s how homosexuality is where it is today, because people didn?t want confrontations and eventually a new generation is born and all they hear about is how homosexuality is acceptable and anyone who thinks differently is a bigot.>
um, sorry, but there is NOTHING wrong with homosexuality. it happens in nature all the time. you know, in god?s creations? so are you telling me that god is wrong then?
<Soon as the next generation arises they will begin to doubt their own country, they'll say that we are the evil in this war,>
hey, man, the next generation, and the last generation?we?re all here, and millions of us do think it?s wrong, and some of us even freeze our asses off at peace marches, and write letters, and phone congressmen, and boycott foreign oil,--you know, all the thing you can do to protest when you live in a democracy, where people have equal rights, even if they do stick their dicks into asses or mouths instead of into vaginas?(by the way, oral sex is illegal in Pennsylvania, naughty boy)
<the iraqis were just minding their own buisness and then BAM here comes America with thier big guns their banners of freedom and wealth. I cant help thinking that this country is slowly dying and the masses don?t give a damn, they are content to live their lives and stay out of other peoples business, what happens when the law is determined by your beliefs, there is a word for that its called ANARCHY!!>
you start out one way, it seems, then go the other.
what is your point of view, friend?
"Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable" (Leviticus 18:22) and
"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads" (Leviticus 20:13) and
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion" (Romans 1:26-27).
I don?t know how anyone in their right minds who would, after reading these passages think that homosexuality is acceptable.
Getting on with the next point,
<No, it doesn?t depend on how you view it. No matter how you look at it, it is still evil, >
What I mean is, sin is still sin, no matter how YOU look at it. Killing the Iraqis is not a sin because they are the ones who attacked us first. They funded terrorists that killed 2000 of our citizens, it might as well been Saddam flying the plane. It is now our right to avenge our dead. God also says that it is our obligation to stop evil around the world. And that is exactly what we are doing.
<The Iraqis were just minding their own business and then BAM here comes America with their big guns their banners of freedom and wealth. I cant help thinking that this country is slowly dying and the masses don?t give a damn, they are content to live their lives and stay out of other peoples business, what happens when the law is determined by your beliefs, there is a word for that its called ANARCHY!!>
This last statement was what liberals like yourself all around America are saying, <the Iraqis were just minding their own business and then BAM here comes America with their big guns their banners of freedom and wealth.> They don?t think we have the right to protect ourselves against terrorists, they say that it can all be ?Resolved? I say the only way to resolve this conflict is to dig out all the hiding Iraqi leaders from their little holes and then bury them again.
<I cant help thinking that this country is slowly dying and the masses don?t give a damn, they are content to live their lives and stay out of other peoples business,>
The average teenager doesn?t know anything about politics and are content to stay that way. They don?t know what?s really going on over in Iraq all they know is what they are fed. They take all they hear and believe it because they only get one side of the story. And that story doesn?t include morals or God, it says ?America is greedy and wants more oil and is masking it by saying that Iraq is a threat to our everyday life.? On a side note, if you don?t believe me go online and check any survey on what teens know about politics. Half of teens can?t even tell you who our vice president is. That is shameful.
ZZ66, next time get some proof to back up your arguments. If your going to bring up what God thinks about things then you better be able to back it up with his own words, also known as the Bible.
you might want to investigate some facts yourself, sir.
i chose 3 to illustrate myself:
1. god did not 'write' the bible. he doesn't take up paper and pen, or at least i've not heard of him doing so. to whit:
"Little is known for certain about the authorship of most books of the Bible. Broadly speaking, there's often a "traditional" view and a "scholarly" view, but the arguments are entirely from internal evidence and beliefs. There is no external, independent evidence of authorship or dating of these books. If you have five scholars in a room, you'll get seven different theories. "

2. Jesus does not advocate the old 'eye for an eye' theory.
"If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. " Luke 6:29
same could be said for your buildings.
and you call yourself a christian! you are a crusader, a fighter, a warmonger, a money-changer.
3. as for all the rest: Luk 6:37 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."
2. God told Moses to go and destroy cities that were unholy, he even commanded Moses to kill the women and children because they themselves were also wicked. The children were rebellious, the women were impure and prostitutes, God even told him to kill the livestock. When I read this I was shocked, I could not understand why a loving God would kill innocent children. Well the point is they were not innocent, they were wicked and God knew when they grew up they would try and avenge their fathers by killing the Jews. God even said if you can find even one righteous person I will spare the city, and Moses could not. You say God does not advocate war?! We, America, are not even that harsh. We are trying with all our power to make sure that innocent civilians are not harmed, many of our own men have died trying to help Iraqâs citizens. And yes I do call my self a Christian, I am a fighter of evil(something people do not believe in anymore), I do not strive for war, but I know it is necessary. You believe that we should not have avenged out innocent civilians on 9-11? What would you do if I killed your family? would you press charges? Or would you just let it go? If I decided that I wanted to kill you, would you try and prevent it? or just wait for it to happen. You donât want us to attack Iraq because nothing has happened to you, I guarantee if it was someone you loved in those buildings that died you would be fronting this war with everything inside you. Nothing has touched your little world, your inside your house, something alot of people do not have. You can protest laws you dissagree with, somthing most people can not do. And most of all, you are free. Free to live the way you want. That is a privilege every human being should have. If you were living under tyranny would you want what we have? Our president doesnât spray chemical weapons on our towns, and watch as hundreds of women and children slowly and painfully die. Our government is here to protect us, and we, with the power and wealth that we have, owe it to the rest of the world, if willing, to free them.
good thing he didn't say anything about ranking!!!!!
And by the way, Blindreject or whateveryournameis, could you answer this? (Admittedly, I know what you'll say, but I'd like to see if you're silly enough to say it.) The Bible wasn't written down until four or five hundred years after Christ was executed (as, quite frankly, in some ways he desered). Surely even you know how quickly a word-of-mouth tale gets changed from the truth. What happens to the Bible then?
Next: offer me proof that Mahomet wasn't, as he said he was, the next prophet, after Abraham Moses, Daniel, Jesu and the like. And don't give me the Son of God argument. Megalomania in a prophet isn't proof of anything. (And don't get into long spiels about what Islam is about unless you've read the Koran.)
Lastly: even the Puritans who set up the damn States (in the sense of colonised the lands, not creating the country) -- fleeing from England in the name of religious freedom and whipping Quakers out from teir midst -- had to admit that the Bible ouldn't be taken literally, in the end. Learn from your ancestors, little boy. Even if your President can't. (But then, who believes the man actually learnt how to read before he became president?)
