28556. Trillium - 8/6/2006 9:25:36 PM The link goes to a Guardian site that will probably disappear in a matter of time, they don't keep things up for very long. Here is a copy from the GUT thread discussion header:
This is not a thread to discuss the existence or otherwise of God. Prayer as a mental activity demonstrably 'works' for millions of people. It improves lives, it focuses minds, it brings peace to people who have nowhere else to turn.
Prayer can never be over-estimated but is often under-estmated by those who don't do it. Is prayer a natural activity of the human brain? It is very personal, and it is often extremely effective whether God exists or not. Why is this? 28557. anomie - 8/6/2006 10:06:58 PM Trillium,
We're carrying on about nothing. Let the dictionary prevail.
But I hope you didn't make any false assumptions about what I said. I didn't assert that God must exist for prayer to be real, nor does anyone have to be able to explain their god to me. I don't care if their god - or idea of god - is a peanut shell. I'm also not making an argument about whether prayer changes people or makes any difference at all. So, I concede to almost everything you said except one.

Trillium - 8/7/2006 2:19:40 AM Okay, anomie.... 28559. wonkers2 - 8/12/2006 1:47:55 PM Detroit Muslims Support Tolerance and Inter-faith reconcialiation Here. 28560. jexster - 8/13/2006 2:18:39 PM The Archbishop of York, the Church of England's second-highest figure, has reprimanded US President George W. Bush for risking division by warning that the West was at war with "Islamic fascists". 28561. Jenerator - 8/14/2006 3:56:06 PM But we ARE at war with Islamic fascists.
Hezbollah, Hamas, the 20+ arrested in London, the 2 guys in Michigan, the list goes on. Those poeple are Islamic fascists. 28562. Jenerator - 8/14/2006 3:56:41 PM I am glad that Bush finally had the cajones to call them what they are - Islamic fascists. 28563. Jenerator - 8/14/2006 4:01:02 PM Anyone else hear about what they're teaching and chanting in the mosques of Iran right now? That Iran will nuke Israel soon and usher in the 12th Imam. Evidently, they're claiming that Iran HAS nuclear weapons and is planning on using them.
Armageddon, folks. 28564. judithathome - 8/14/2006 4:04:36 PM An article today in my paper was talking about the new generation of "street preacher"...evidently our downtown streets are graced with several.
There was a box on the page with lists...the one that was headed "Evangelical Christianity" had Baptists listed first followed by Assemblies of God, Church of Christ, Church of the Nazarene, Pentacostal, and many nondenominational churches.
The article also said this area (D/FW) has more than one million Evangelicals scattered around. Of those, 856,000 are Baptists. 28565. judithathome - 8/14/2006 4:05:40 PM Didn't mean to interrupt your screed, Jen, but I had that saved to copy over at Demonizing and I can't get in to WC. 28566. jexster - 8/17/2006 3:33:50 PM The Armageddon Report: CODE RED
Jen tell your pastor, tell Baylor U
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
A Message from the Prophet Hosea:
{I thought Bush was a bible boy!}
For they sow the wind,
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads,
it shall yield no meal;
if it were to yield,
foreigners would devour it.
Israel is swallowed up;
now they are among the nations
as a useless vessel.
For they have gone up to Assyria,
a wild ass wandering alone;
...
The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel,
shall be destroyed.
Thorn and thistle shall grow up
on their altars.
They shall say to the mountains, Cover us,
and to the hills, Fall on us.
Judith..If Jenerator fails in her appearing, you're a Baylor Bear right?28567. judithathome - 8/17/2006 5:52:22 PM No, I am not. I'm not affiliated with any college or church or TV station in Texas. 28568. jexster - 8/17/2006 5:58:58 PM and U Texicans have a spotless rep for telling the truth 2

Yeah, let's kill them before they kill us, eh, Jenerator?
What is the difference between a Christian mission and an Islam jihad?
