I have heard this many times as well, usually from the fringe Baptist sort.

Tragic. All around. For the victim, the family, the poor little child who gave her the peanut. Just awful. Also sad that the first response of our culture is to look around and see who should be blamed.

Ze govenment vil protect you from yourselves, ja?

Most Roman Catholics have no care for such things right now and with the common use of "Extraordinary" minsters of the Eucharist, anyone can walk into a Roman Catholic church and receive communion. A pagan or an atheist could. My wife's mother is an Episcopalian who attends a baptists church...

As far as I can tell, Zionism and Orthodoxy are for all intents and purposes, incompatible. Additionally, I have yet to meet an Orthodox Christian who shared the common Protestant belief that the state of Israel is the reemergence of the Israel of the Old Testament. How anyone can read the...

You have to admit, it would have been funny if the witch doctor stood up and instead sang "Ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang"

My opinion and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at starbucks. That said, at the moment, Rome is in no position to seek union with the East without actually converting to Orthodoxy. The Eastern Catholics are a different matter, but as for the Romans, they have become mired in the need to change...

During the four years when I was earning my bachelor's in religious studies, I focused on one overall question. "What is religion?" I still do not have a solid answer that covers all ends, but after 4 years, the best definition I could come up with is "The way that human beings respond to...

Anyone know if Matrona is still around? I don't know what made me think of her today but I used to really like reading her posts.

Can you talk to your priest and explain to him your difficulties with rose incense? I know a lot of people have trouble with it. Perhaps he could use some other kind?

I added both u guys to friends. Didnt have any problems.

That's weird. You sure you spelled it right? I definitely exist and that's the right server.

My character is Aiden. Human Jedi Sentinel. In one level he will be Jedi Master Aiden Kaast. I am the GM of Veterans of Alderaan. Pst for guild invite!

Complete madness. Total insanity. Just....no words. No words at all to describe how insane this is.

Keep in mind what St. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 4:14-15 "Even though you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel." This is the context by which we call our priests "Father."

Lots of great stuff in this thread. Just my own meager crumb to add: We should not think of asking for the saints to intercede for us as leap frogging over to Christ. When we have a concern, we ask our friends, loved ones, pastor, fellow parishioners to pray with us and to pray for us...

Me too. I ditched Azeroth for Alderaan. Bondar Crystal server. Republic side. Word.

And another thread is knocked hopelessly off course :) May as well go with it. Does anyone like cooking Mexican food? If so, do you have any recipes to share? I shall find my enchelada recipe and post it momentarily.

My wife and I own a hookah. I don't know about how the nicotine content compares to cigarettes, but I know that when I used to smoke cigarettes, I NEEDED to smoke them. When we decide to smoke our hookah....maybe a couple times a month....it's not a need, just a thing we enjoy doing together...
