I believe, it was an inside job. US funded muslim extermists in afganistan against ussr, they might as well use extremists to get oil rich countries.

What use would Shrub have for mohammedans, he had Darth Cheney and Wolfy to fuck over oil rich countires.

The mere fact that religion exists (as a means of mind control) is the issue here, not whether one slave reads and follows its edicts properly or not. If Christianity didn't exist then there wouldn't have been the opportunity to abuse my mother via its ploys, and it's very likely that my parents would still be together today. 

Religion ruined my home. Christians are more interested in their silly apologetics than in acknowledging the harm done by their religion. Please note the overwhelming support from atheists toward me in this matter, and then also note the conspicuous lack of empathy on the part of Christian responses.
Religion is mind control for those who want their minds controlled... However It is also freedom for those who truly want to know God.

Again, if you mother was indeed concerned about serving God then she would have heeded the passage in 1 Corinthians.

Just because you experienced one side of religion does not mean it doesn't have any more to offer than what you know.

Context.

I responded to the question being asked.
You're a typical Christian. Using one person's loss at the hands of your religion, to promote your religion. Pathetic.
Clue in. If the religion didn't exist then there'd be no confusing interpretations to twist and pull families apart.
I forgive your brothers and sisters for ruining my actual family.

A bit of advice ...  depending on Google to acquire or maintain a faith is not the action of a well balanced person as you can find anything in there to support any delusion ....

If you will accept a bit of friendly advice ... stay off Google or even Bing one the the Devils search engines and just read the "Bible" and I am sure you will join us in the light after shedding the shackles of indoctrination  Angel

....oh bother....

God's google is a metaphor for the access to God's wisdom I have been given. It not an actual search engine...

I likened my spiritual gift to a search engine because the wisdom I derive from it does not come from me but this external source. It was my way of giving credit to God as He is the source of my gift and I am one who has simply been given access to it.

Personally I consider those that believe delusions that a "God" is talking to them as dangerous .... and those that state they are hearing "God" when they are not as con artists  Dodgy
Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog

Detail for us all what your relationship with Jesus is like, and what makes you know that you are in such a relationship? Be as specific as can be. Avoid vagueness. Thank you.

Here is the simple Sunday school 2nd grade answer:

We do not get to call out self 'Saved or Christian' (capitol C) Nothing we can say or do buys us this right. Only Christ determines who is and is not Christian/Saved.

Also note in the bible the word 'saved' always point to a future event/judgement. In other words you will be save from God's wrath. Not saved meaning you have been already saved from God's wrath... Last I check God has not poured out his wrath on this planet since the flood.

This means those who are christian (little 'c') for a while and turn from God, are so by name and religious affiliation only. Despite how fervently they were a 'little c' Hehe. the fact that they turned from God at any point does not mean they can't come back or that they are or will not come back later to be saved (per the prodigal son) it just means that they like everyone else can only claim a religious affiliation and salvation is a work of Christ and not some effort they/you may put in. But if you have gone, and turn your back on God their is little hope you will ever be saved/Christian.

Last you checked, lol.  The flood never happened.  Gods wrath has, apparently, never poured out at all...but his followers have each other frothing to string up the better jew all the same.
