We obviously aren't very responsible with "enlightenment" however.

The funny thing is, we already have vehicles invented that doesn't require oil. If we can do that, factories, etc... could change as well. So, what is so important about oil anymore then? Well, besides the fact they won't mass produce these inventions.

<t>Now, that has me thinking what is so special about the eternal flame we put over "important" people. Isn't the eternal flame a good representation of hell? I really don't want this topic to steer on THIS comment, but I find it an interesting ad on as she is holding up a statue of the eternal flam...

You have a good point there. I find it ALMOST amusing how we come up with these excuses to invade a country when none of the excuses matches the real reasons.

<t>ya... I find it almost amusing that the statue lady of Columbia Pictures logo and the identicle statue of Liberty both hold up the lucifer (aka light). When you strike a match, isn't that really called a lucifer? Wasn't Lucifer the angel of light? Didn't the Illuminati secret society claim to be ...

<t>What's so special about us wanting to invade the middle east as opposed to N. Korea? We kept hearing "Weapons of Mass Destruction" over and over again when it came to Iraq. Yet, isn't that what we'd call a Nuclear Weapon? Iraq was "TRYING to get a nuclear weapon" Iran is TRYING to get a nuclear w...

Anyone else find this topic coincedental?

<t>I used the word "can't" due to the recent laws passed. Even if he did, he couldn't be tried. I'm not saying he did, but I do know we shouldn't use torture since we used that as one of the excuses to invade Iraq, and we shouldn't lay countries in rumbles over the actions of a few.<br/> <br/> I did...

I'm not sure if I understood #4 correctly, but replied to my understanding of it.

Well Said Ted

<t>Ted<br/> <br/> Thank you for your reply. Your Church and views do not reflect the majority, unfortunately. I didn't happen to notice what country you are in before I made this post, but I'm in the U.S. and the majority HERE are having the problems I've mentioned above. I don't think it is mandato...

<t>I can appreciate your view on facts. However, I find it factual that there is a link. So do other sources (including babynames, legends, a huge corporation's logo, etc..). I can't remember when we got the statue of her, but I believe NY was the US capitol at sometime. Well, anyway, if it wasn't t...

<t>It was kind of weird, I thought, when I first heard this news. Because right before they mentioned this mysterious illness with these bees, the news was saying the U.S. trained these bees to be bomb sniffers. Which is wild in my opinion, but still, the illness happens around the same time as that...

<t>Has anyone ever found babyname books / sites to be innaccurate? MANY people look at these sources to get the meaning of their names. When there's any kind of mystery, it usually implies there's a puzzle to piece together to solve it. I think these facts are just now coming to light as people are ...

<t>Semiramis (semir'umis) [key], mythical Assyrian queen, noted for her beauty and wisdom. She was reputed to have conquered many lands and founded the city of Babylon. After a long and prosperous reign she vanished from earth in the shape of a dove and was thereafter worshiped as a deity, acquiring...

<r><URL url="http://www.thinkbabynames.com/search/0/dove">http://www.thinkbabynames.com/search/0/dove</URL><br/> <br/> Columba (Columbia) is mentioned along with Semerimis as being synonymous with each other.. meaning "Dove". The Queen of Babylon was known as the Lady of the Dove as she was fed by t...

It's very clear on thinkbabynames.com, when you type in Columbia, Semarimis is in the top 10 synonymous names.

That happened to me to, but it apparently got fixed about a week after I upgraded from my previous version. I now have this forum on my bookmark

I should have been more specific in that sentence. I meant the purpose of the Church under Christianity when it comes to its gatherings.

Firefox

IE was getting soooo slow and I had more warnings from my security software from it than I do with Firefox.

I didn't mean for this topic post to defend or attack christianity, but to question the practice of Church Gatherings and the way it's being conducted today.

<t>lol... I don't fall for movies.<br/> <br/> We have a habit, here in the U.S. in making Latin important. Notice on the back of the dollar bill you have Novos Ordo Seclurim (sp?)... New World Order. Since these are things we named HERE, and we value Latin (for some unkown reason), to get the meanin...

I am referring specifically to the christian gatherings as mentioned in the Bible.

Wow. I was expecting some kind of reply on this topic. I got like 11 reads and no comments. Maybe it's just me that finds this stuff interesting. lol.

<t>The purpose of THE Church is to worship God. That means to be obedient to Him. Different people have different callings. One of those callings is to Preach. They are the ones to reach those who are not saved (according to the Bible description of who's saved and not saved). The Preachers are supp...

I like the show for the most part.

It's all good Novelty... and.. is that a cross on your flag? jk we're even.

<t>When I said purpose.. I know the purpose of THE Church... I meant the the purpose of the groups we have now... when it does not appear it's being done correctly... scripturally. There's no need for preachers to go out when everyone else gets them to come in. At what point are the believers only m...

<t>I am not the world's best christian, but certainly the world's worse churchian. I used to go to this building every Wednesday and Sunday that gathers non-believers and believers alike. We sang, got preached at, put money in a plate, admired each others dress attire, had "alter calls", etc.. etc.....

I just joined and am curious.

<t>I think America is great for completely different reasons. 1. Our freedom of thought has not yet been limited and therefore, we produce the world's greatest inventions. 2. Our original Constitution is the greatest Constitution in the world. Now, if we can only get our judges and polititians to st...

<t>Do a basic search in thinkbabynames.com and you will see Columbia means the same thing as Semiramis. Basically, latin for the feminine dove. Semiramis was the Queen of Babylon. She was known as the Lady of the Dove and legend tells it she was fed by Doves and transformed into one at the time of h...

Anyone here in the Indiana area?
