GOD hears all prayers but sometimes the answer is NO!

Okay we have this exit route blocked. They CAN'T get the monument out now.


Ya know I just thought of something....there may be another way out of the rotunda and I could be laying here all morning staring at this guys a** for no reason.






Damn! We never thought about another way out. The Bible tells us there is only one way in.....



Something tells me this guy isn't saying "Put it back!" (see below)

Ken Barnett, of Prattville, Ala., yells 'Put it Back' on the plaza of the Alabama Judicial Building in Montgomery, Ala., on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2003. State officials had just complied with a federal court order to move the Ten Commandments monument from public view in the rotunda of the building. (AP Photo/Bill Haber)

Matthew 6:5-18 NKJV) "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. {6} "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."

Good point.

So to speak. :-)

WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE ALWAYS PUT MY name next to scripture! LET ME GET THIS ACROSS! I NEVERWROTE ANYTHING LIKE THAT! :P

-Matcom (a.k.a. Matt a.k.a. Matthew)

Very funny.

matcom's all over it.

So I've got that going for me.....which is nice.

Stone him, just to be on the safe side.

All right since we have all of you in one place.....



ON EDIT-only one "e" in be

should I tell my wife?

...but I covet his yak even more. :-)

Your wife probably knows - women have this sense. ;-)

I always think of that scripture in relation to these fundie idiots, but I forgot what book it's in and haven't had the time to look it up.

misunderstood by my radical Christian brethren?
Why? Why? Why?

How long do you think it will be between something bad happening to America/Alabama, and Jerry Falwell going on television to say that this is what happens when you reject God?

I personally think that Jerry will have a camera crew follow him everywhere so that he can be on television within 15 minutes.

TlalocW

And he will behave in the most un-Christian manner.... likely calling someone a name.

shelters, offering their coats and food?

They pray for the country to be Christian - but they don't pray for the country to ACT Christian. SHouldn't they be at the courthouse holding prayer vigil for justice in the courts for those forced to suffer with incometent DAs? (not a slam on DAs, please, just the incometent ones, like Shrub gave to the guys in Texas, you know, the ones who fall asleep in court?). Shouldn't they be praying that this country will finally offer healthcare to everyone? Food foreveryone? Shelter for everyone?

Hmmmmm..... always they waste their effort on symbology, almost never on actual action.

They want the coach to lead the high school football team in prayer before the game, but they did they gather their funds so that the really poor kid could afford to be on the team? Do they make gay jokes right after the prayer? Do they pray and then call the other team insults, and try to hurt them?

Argh.

Why aren't those people lying down in front of industrial polluters? or, well, hell, i could go on forever on this one...

Seriously I really liked that.

Me neither.

Why they ain't poor they is (you get the idea).

they sure loved those cameras and attention, didn't they?


No matter, I'm sure Coral Ridge is going to start getting even MORE money from these fools, now that they can play the persecution card.


Fundies LOVE to feel persecuted! If they can't be, they'll pull stunts like this that force the matter. How Christ-like.

:eyes:

It looks like a few of them drank some bad Kool-Aid.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments

that God might be more concerned with folks keeping the Ten Commandments rather than where they are posted for folks to see.

But that's just me.

And that goes for HER "yesses" as well.

Which leaves the whole issue of whether or not GOD said yes or no entirely up to the feeble minds of humans.

And if SHE is feeling a bit frolicky (hey, don't forget Job, SHE had one heck of a time with that practical joke) who is to say that no doesn't mean yes or vice verse?
