Sorry to be picky, but the Bible does quote Jesus as saying he doesn't know when the end will be. Matthew 24:36-37 says: "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son [Jesus], but the Father alone."

You are right that many Christians have believed in the Wandering Jew who will live until the second coming. Jesus/the Bible are supposed to be infallible and Jesus said in Matthew 16:28: "Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." It's a pretty interesting trick to get out of a biblical error.

So let me see if I got this correct. The Bible says that God has a set time, and not even Jesus knows what that time is.

Naw man, while Christians have to admit that Jesus said the world would end within the lifetime of his followers, they seriously claim that some secretive super Methuselah is alive today for the sole purpose of making Jesus not wrong. Jesus knew EXACTLY when the world would end; some time between 90AD and however long immortal people live.

Verily.

"Our kids can no longer pray in public.."

What does the sermon on the mount say about that? (Mt 6,5-6)

"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

Read your bible !!!

Verily, good for them.

It's just surreal that Northeners are impressed by this neolithic technology.

dude, farmers' crops were going bad before they could sell it all. People were getting sick from food-borne illness.
Yes, in 2009.
They don't have electricity in most of the places where this is needed. Whether it is old technology or not, don't you think it's a good thing that they are making use of it now?
It's a happy thing, not a "hey check how impressive this 'discovery' is" thing.

Are we supposed to be impressed that Africans discovered insulation and clay pottery? This is 2009.

And ClearChannel said let there be music & lo, verily, said unto thee "music is what I say it is."

Mohammed said, “I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah” (Al Bukhari vol. 4:196).

Sura 5:51: “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he among you that turns to them for friendship is of them.”

Sura3 3:64: “Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and has prepared for them a Blazing Fire to dwell in forever. No protector will they find, nor savior. That Day their faces will be turned upside down in the Fire. They will say: ‘Woe to us! We should have obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!’ ‘Our Lord! Give them double torment and curse them with a very great Curse!’”

Sura72:15 “The disbelievers are the firewood of hell.”

Sorry I just had to, I find it strange when people try to convey the Quran as a book written by a group of kittens and puppies.

I could link to some beheading videos, quite a few terrorist attacks, cite numerous famous examples of insane laws in muslim countries(hanging gays, 20 years for downloading documents about women's rights, marrying 9 year olds to 60 year olds, everything going bat shit crazy over a few cartoons etc etc) but I'm sure you probably know even more examples than me.

So my question is, what's so peaceloving about the Quran?
Muslims seem to have double standards everywhere.. if a western woman travels to a muslim country, she better put on a veil, so she does not offend and make everybody around her nuts but if we in the west demanded in the streets for women wearing burqas and other muslim attire to remove them immidietly and put on western clothes, shit would hit the fan. What I'm trying to say is that muslim culture does not seem to have any tolerance for anything but itself.

Slightly off topic. Pardon.

And verily, I say unto thee, Jesus can be a real jagoff sometimes.

^ ^ Verily, tis tons of fun! For me at least. But as most of my sifting efforts tend to reveal, I seem to like boring things, so your mileage may vary!

"If we as a society want to survive, we need to shed our infantile "skin" which is religion."

No, some segments and remnants will always survive-some will not, according to their ability to divert attention from themselves.... religion, race-baiting, labels, name-calling and finger--pointing, irrelevant in and of themselves issues (most of which are represented on the VS in the form of personal-pulpit, bandwagonism....) like who said what and is stupid, or bleeding-heart concern for a symptom, and never the root of the problem....

and no shuac, you have been on the planet long enough to realize that reason does not necessarily rule,
and meaning is a whore whose purse is bottomless for some, they simply can't stop making her rent and dressing her in fineries........

Chaos, wonderful, blessed, Chaos is the god of this world-"Verily I say unto you, Today wilt thou be with me in paradise."

Hey! I see there’s a lot of Cafeteria Christians out there – you know, those folk who pick and choose which bits of the Bible that they think you ought to believe. Why, they tell you that you should “love your neighbour” and “We’re all equal”… They aren’t Christians, they are people who’ve never read the Bible and have no Faith in God’s Word – they are leading you astray like false prophets.

Let’s see what the Bible really says about homosexuality - the Bible (and don’t forget, that’s God’s words) calls this an abomination (Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13) punishable by death.

Now, how can I be a Christian and love my sodomite neighbour when God says I must stone him to death? That’s heavy stuff! But that’s God’s Word, and God’s Word is absolute and immutable. Anyone who says he or she’s a True Christian accepts this happily because it is God’s Word and God never lies.

Here are some more of God’s unchanging laws:

*A woman who is raped must marry her rapist. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)
*A woman who is found to have lost her virginity before her wedding night must be put to death. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21)
*Anyone who strikes (Exodus 21:15) or curses (Leviticus 20:9) his parents must be put to death.
*Anyone who works on Sunday must be put to death (Exodus 31:12-15). That includes homework! ;-)
*Anyone who follows another religion must be put to death. (Exodus 22:19) Notice a pattern here?
*Soldiers may rape their enemies’ wives and enslave their children. (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)
*In some cases, even children and infants must be slaughtered. (1 Samuel 15:2-3)
*Women must never be teachers, and must obey men’s authority in silence. (1 Timothy 2:12)
*He who refuses to kill in the name of God is cursed. (Jeremiah 48:10)

And while these laws are in the Old Testament, all of them apply today. Jesus said so.

“For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:18) .. so what Christ is saying here is that the Old Testament is still God’s Law or as Jesus says in Mark 10:34…“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34)

My favorite passage in the Bible is 2 Kings 2:23-24, in which God sends she-bears to tear apart forty-two children for the crime of laughing at a bald man. What’s yours?

And verily, I say unto thee, intelligence harkened unto the universe. And saw that it was good.
