would we know it if we were already there?
It seems that God is big on not letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing.
been under the weather for a couple of days sorry AGAIN for the time lapses between posts.
Regardless of what it is that we are trying to "fix" (?) I was taught to look for the easiest/simplest answer first, and then progress to the more complicated stuff as needed.
When we reject the right answer too quickly (However how simple) and continue searching; confusion is certain to follow.

My mind says no, I don't.. my heart is following...
Of course I do. I watched a movie a long time ago where Clint Eastwood went to Purgatory. He killed whole gang of bad guys all by himself.
I'm fascinated by the Catholic version of Purgatory, where the only way you ever get out is if living people pray for you. If that's true, I'm pretty sure I won't have enough friends when I die to make that happen.

You either get saved while you have the CHance in this life... or you die in your sins and are cast into Hell to await the final judgement.

Which is more important, freedom of faith or freedom of speech?Many religious folks are decent, good people. Some of my best friends subscribe to institutionalised superstition - and are good humored enough to let me say that without taking offense. But most religions per se enshrine some deeply...

According to the Saddleback Debate - Obama doesn't "know" when a baby should be given rights as a human. In Chicago, Illinois there was a great debate over this when Obama was an Illinois Senator - at different points he chaired the committee: What do you think about what this article...
