My hope is that my newest career as Thugpreacha You can answer that for yourself. Even if you believe fervently in leprechauns, isn't the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow still an empty promise? And why? Isn't it because there's no evidence for leprechauns? will perhaps lead to a piece of gold, if not an entire pot full. What's great about all of this is the fact that I have finally been able to overcome my gambling addiction. Even if I never made a dime off of my online character the experience is worth far more than gold, in my opinion. Chance as a real force is a myth.

RAZD writes: This is one thing that I have mentioned before which concerns me...the idea that a possible war arises due totally because of self-fulfilling prophecy behavior from evangelicals. Even if such a saga was believed, the belief and subsequent actions of society itself may bring such a war to fruition...and while believers gloat and say that the war would be proof it would, in fact, be their very belief that started it! What does everyone think? What is disturbing is the number of people that not only believe it will come but are actively pursuing the development of signs of the "End Times" ... such as the unification of Jerusalem/Israel, not for potential for peace but for the potential for End Times war. I think this is the whole crux of the Evangelical support for Trump.Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry.

Yikes! Now I need everyone to pray...even non-believers! Perhaps God can save us from ourselves!

Perhaps the real cause of conflict in the world stems directly from the demise of white men in power throughout the US and Europe. We had our day in the sun and we never got tan enough to fit in!

Because you are only one of us if you look like me, speak and act like me and believe like me... Reminds me of a song...
We Christians sometimes imagine that we are superior to lesser mortals who remain clueless as to the reality of God. You guys respond by asking for proof, which we don't have. One side believes that Without faith it is impossible to please God. The other side would assert that without evidence it is impossible to prove God. Thus we keep chit chatting and going around the maypole. I enjoy our discussions by and large, however. I'm just as human as you...and no better.Chance as a real force is a myth.

Critique Of An Online Sermonette:
Rom 12:3-4 writes: For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. NKJV CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONE IDEOLOGY IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE PLANET THAT TEACHES THE EQUALITY OF ALL HUMANITY. THAT'S HOW IT GOT INTO THE LAWS OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND SPECIFICALLY INTO THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION.
1 Peter 5:5-7 writes: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. NKJV Phil 2:2-4 writes: 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. NKJV AS FOR NATIONALISM, AMERICA IS THE BEST NATION THAT EVER EXISTED BECAUSE IT ENSHRINED THE CONCEPT OF HUMAN EQUALITY. ANY OTHER KIND OF NATIONALISM IS EVIL BECAUSE IT DOES CHOOSE A CLASS OVER OTHER CLASSES. ISLAM FOR INSTANCE. BUT NOW WE HAVE THE LEFT REJECTING THE ONLY TRUE NATIONALISM THERE IS AND ACTUALLY PUTS MURDERING ISLAM ON A PLANE WITH US. BUNCH OF IDIOTS BEYOND BELIEF.. Matt 5:21-23 writes: "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother,'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says,'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.
