I had this e-mail forwarded to me. I thought it had some good points about how we want God out of our schools, but wonder why things are going downhill.

YUP!

 

wow

 

Dr. Spocks son did not commit suicide.

It was his grandson. The two sons of spock are alive and well.:o

 

First excellent post, second Dr. Spock is a F'ing MORON. It does NOT hurt to spank a kid. ”NOTE: Spank not beat” It is good and a good forum of behavior control.

It is like when you touch something that is HOT you LEARN not to touch it again. If it never hurt to begin with you would continue to touch it till your hand was melted.

Dr. Spock is one of them lazy parents who would rather be a “buddy” to his kids then a father. I bet he is the type of MORON that would let his kids run around in the store yelling and screaming when they should have had their little butt smacked and told to SHUT UP and BEHAVE…

And you wonder why some kids, MORE kids now days are so screwed up and have NO responsibility.

Thanks Mr. Spock you BONEHEAD…

 

Excellent, and as posted eposey it has merit with what he did.


I still haven't learned this yet, I guess some people are slow learners when it comes to certin things.

 

I think god's playing tricks on us.

If you will, Princess Diana and mother Teresa almost died on the same day, 6 day's apart. In the news you hear during that week all about the Life of Diana, how great she was and how tragic the even was in wich she lost her life. 5-6 day's later, Verry little is said about Teresa, a far cry less than what diana gets.

Wouldn't you think MT would get a lot more exposure, or people would morn her death more?

 

just like believing in the easter bunny. simple humans

 

whiel is what fictional entertainment... George Burns playing the part of Him in the "Oh God" movies stated to John Denver "the world needs balance. With all good must come bad to balance everything out"

Which makes sense. The world is already becoming overcrowded. Can you imagine how overpopulated we would be if everyone was 100% healthy all the time and all live to be 100?

If we had unlimited fossil fuels that didn't harm the environment?

So if we are the "great experiment" we must complete the cycle.

In my understanding of the Bible, God does not intervene in the lives of Man. We are free to make our own choices, make our own mistakes and live with the consequences.


Another thought... who said that Sept 11 was a bad thing? We did. The Al Queda a$$holes did. Did God? Maybe we are being punished. Maybe not. Who knows. Only the Pope and Billy Graham have the red Batphone on the desk with a direct line to God. According to them they have in depth status meetings weekly with Him.
