      I know this is over. But listen up. God does not create bad thing. God loves all you #$%$ Does he let you wake up everyday. yes, your forgiven. The Bible was written by man and rewritten for there or church own gains. $$$$. So here is a comic book to read. God only gave the 10 rules to follow. So all Politian will go to somewhere. jesus may have kids. I am not saying he does or not. He was human too.

        The Bible proves itself but your comments does not. Hell is full of people that think they can like a hellish life and go to Heaven. The Bible says the rigghteous scarsley make it in were then shall the sinner man be. Heaven is a prepared place fr prepared people. Jesus warned over and over again about he Is coming like a thief in the night, the 10 virgins, 5 foolish and 5 wise. Don't be decieved.

        I agree with Thomas, God is love and he will never destroy his creation... its people who have pictured God as a destroyer just to keep things under control... or to gain control... every thing that breaths in this universe is made by God, and he made it because he loves his creation. and we we do here on earth is just like actors on a stage, its not permananet, God is the director of the stage play...think about it... Do you think God would let man do what he wants and destroy him, or would he prevent man form dying in hell by controlling him, so if God is love he just wants all of us to play our part on earth and then he will open his arms and take all of us back. He let people be bad so we can understand what is good... he made night and day so we no what is light,... and far as the bible is concerned, its wriiten by the most holy people but not by God... not a single book was wriiten by God...

      According to the Bible, more will go to hell than to heaven.
      Thank God, He let me know His Son, Jesus.

      BaRat Obamination prevented hurricane category 2 (like bail outs and Quantitative Easing), but planted the seed for hurricane category 6 or greater.
      How many Americans are in long lines of unemployed applying for jobs?
      How many Americans have lost their homes?
      How many Americans, especially children go to bed hungry?
      Can we ever repay our ever increasing national debt, which now reads 14.6 trillion dollars?

      Subject: A Short Spelling Lesson

      The last four letters in American..........I Can
      The last four letters in Republican........I Can
      The last four letters in Democrats.........Rats

      End of lesson. Test to follow in November, 2012.
      Remember, November 2012 is to be set aside as rodent extermination month.

      This election will have a great influence on the future of America.

      Here is the socialist, communist, and democratic party’s policy and platform: You do all the planting, the harvesting, and the cooking. Then we will all eat together, drink together, be merry, afterwards, you do all the table and plate cleaning. In other words, what is yours is ours, what is mine is mine.

      I don't understand how people think about things. A man how healthy he is, if he is beating ten men, he can beat down the first one, the second get less energised beat, the third lesser and it goes on like that, by the time to beat the tenth man, there won't be no energy left to beat. That is what it happened here with Irene. By the time she reached at New York, she was already worn out.
