I wouldn't be suprised if the United States was the beast. It would explain some very awckward things..
For one, we are the most diverse in all the world. You don't see nearly as many multiracial, ethical, and national parties as you do in this country. Yet we are the ones who most fear biggotry.
Secondly, we have ALOT of Jews and yet, 80% of them are anti-Zion securalist sympathizers. What the hell?

I don't think they are the same thing, infact, forget about what i said about the Catholics, and say that all the Christians who were mean to the Jews were not reading the Bible properly. Anyways, Hitler used everyones hate for the Jews to create even more hatred and make his country do as he commanded.

Mostly about how I need to set my priorities, because we're reaching a point in our lives where there is no turning back. Hard to explain, but as time progresses it makes more sense. Immagine there was an energy force that sorrounded and bonded you to everything, now immagine there was TWO forces, constantly conflicting with one another. To immagine these two forces, take a peice of paper and draw a circle, the circle represents one force, the rest represents the paper. One is seperate from the paper and yet somehow connected to the whole, it is powerful because it has it's own personal feel and not partof some generic hive mind, the paper in question dominates despite it because of it's sheer mass, and even though it cannot penetrate the circle, it lurks inside of it.All beings are manifesations of the forces. The plants, the animals, even words and sounds. Everything is an extension of thier true nature. Consitantly living in harmony (or not) for the eternity.. As time progresses, mankind, being a manifestation with a conciounce, grows constitently tired of it's conflicting half, they become more extreme and more dangerous with each passing moment. Hope diminishes because the only mindset is to destroy rather then to be happy.. I then got stroken with an odd sense of desa-vu when I was looking at random Biblical things and saw the prophecy of "the behemoth versus the leviathin".
But there was no incentive to do anything for anybody, people have to find out for themselves the dangers of thinking this way, and that in the end I just have to trust that God knows what He's doing. It may suck, but we do what we can. I wasn't very convinced and did not like the idea of being dubbed "the middleman" because of past life choices which made me feel even lonlier in the grand scheme of things so he then gave kindof a wicked grin and said "you know, you remind me of Lucifer in alot of ways.." I kindof got shocked and offended then He said "nono, don't take it an insult, there's a distinct differance between Lucifer and Satan." and we were in some kindof dark room like that scene where Neo visitited god but it was dark not white and when He said Satan George W. Bush appeared on the computer screens.
I've been having dreams of God using computer screens to moniter us sense I was around four years old. Mom told me about how when I was a child I'd tell her things like that, and that was kindof disturbing cause I wasn't thinking about technological spyware at an age where I was still watching Pee Wee's Playhouse..
That's pretty cool, I feel that the world will end in 2007.

That was my problem with what you said, there's enough blame to go around for the Holocaust.

If he loves us all then why did 6million Jews get exterminated in WWII. Why did so many innocents who opposed the war die.3:He makes even the devout suffer
My Grandad was a devout catholic yet he contracted Alzheimers diesease. He never did a bad thign in his life and was a dveout follower of god. So why did he and so many other faithful die agonising and cruel deaths. And make familys suffer.Please respond. All the faithful I would like your defence of your God so I understand your views. And no the third point isnt becasue of my relative but because of millions of others. And where is the physical eveidence of God existing?
ok so here is the thing God does exist, he lets people die in terrorism, and war, so the testimonies of the innocent, will convict the ones who commited the acts, with the number of innocent lives that were killed in terrorist attacks, the terrorists are already convicted, there will be so many testimonies of their deeds to convict them
and with diseases, killing people, God will do what he wants to do, it humbles the person who gets the disease, and teaches a lesson to the family, that they must trust in God with all their heart and he will protect them.
and physical evidence of God existing, if we knew of the physical evidence that was all around us, then it would ruin the plan that God has for us, God wants us to be tested, he wants us to return to him, but we must have faith in order to do that, if we knew he was there, it would not be a test. This life is all about having faith
Man creates god....god tells man what to do...man gets bored of god...god still tries to tell man what to do...man discovers tv....god still shouting at the top of his voice that man has to do what he says....man discovers the internet then talks about if god exsists....big rock from space destroys earth.....big rock wins.
God destroyed the cities of the old world because we were all behaving in an altogether bad manner. Yet he chose one bloke (noah0 and his family to repopulate the earth (you would of thought god being so powerful would know thats not enough people to repopulate a planet).
SO WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK HES UPTO NOW?!?!?!?
The world is pile of dung at the moment. At no other time has there been so much hate and bad stuff going on and yet he does nothing...Where is the cleansing flood to do away with all us sinners?!?
God does nothing....because he/she/it doesn't exsist.

The view of believing in a God is accepting the fact that the adversities in life are not evidences that he doesn't exist or that he doesn't love you, but rather wants you to prove yourself to him. The millions of Jews who died in WWII died knowing that their God didn't abandon them. And for those who did survive, last time I checked, they are still Jews. But because we are catholics does not exempt us from the idea of suffering for God. I mean God suffered for us, the least we can do is sacrifise a little of our comfort zone for him. Sure life's tough having to constantly put up with all the people who claim God doesn't exsist because they can't "see" him. Or when they pull up things like "God wouldn't have allowed terrorist to attack America". The thing is God loves people, people don't love people. It's people who caused the pain and suffering of 9/11 and the results thereof. It's people who started WWII and the holocaust who killed many Jews. It was man and woman who let sin and death into the world that causes so much pain. God's just trying to make things better by offering you hope. Hope in a better tomorrow, hope in a better world, but most of all, hope in Him.

Well if you study Apologetics, than you would know that many theories concerning Creation are divided into three main catagories: 1)One great divine being that created us. 2)Evolution and the big bang. 3) And intelligent design (which in my opinion is the same as the first, but whatever makes them happy).
Originally posted by degrassicoolieOne view that differers from the creation story being told as a literal story, is that in the beginning we all being part of the eternal intelligence and wanted to come down and experience what hard ship was, so we took a bite from the tree of Knowledge. Knowledge of experiencing life, and no longer in a spiritual form of the tree of Life. By splintering off from what the intelligence was we now have a form which to experience life with all it's hardships, a change in form as you will.
