Jesus Tits!

Actually, if Jesus was the perfect son of god, did he have nipples?

Actually my confused brother November 1 (Samhain) is the pagan holiday. 'The church' adopted nov 1 as all saints day October 31 as All Saints Eve or All Hallows'/holy eve, leave it to the gay-licks to mush mouth that into Halloween. Nov 2 as All Souls' Day Why? Because Samhain was celebrated from sundown on October 31 to sundown on nov 1. Like the jews they counted evening as the beginning of a new day, and leave it upto the church to assimilate that into its practices as a way to appease these new converts...

In truth December 25 is more of a pagan holiday than Halloween.

But as christians move away from those desisions the church made to assimilate all of these pagan cultures, we forget our roots and begin to judge appearances rather than look any deeper than the surface.

Have you noticed how costumes and masks are getting generally more bloody, gory, and depraved each year? Those are signs of end times - that Satan's grasp is getting stronger each year.

So does Christmas. Christmas stole lots of traditions from all kinds of pagan beliefs.

So all true christians should stop celebrating christmas.

Do you have evidence of Satan's existence? The answer better not include seek and yea shall find.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

You appear to be clinically insane or retarded, I'm not sure which.

I think its pretty safe to say he is a troll now. The amount of threads he's started in the last 12 or so hours.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
