Re: Prayer for Tolerance

You don't get to pick and choose which verses to believe, dear. Unless, of course, you believe you know better than God Himself?

But as I have said before, that is EXACTLY what God tells us to do, with all religious text

The One True Lord teaches us to examine what is writ and pick out what we believe, now I would expect most would pick out the examples (well not so sure about the gravity thing but I have covered that before) you give as things to believe and ManyPaths is correct to reject those things that do not feel right.
Qwertyuiopasd’s Letter to the Evangelists.

2:4 As the Flying Spaghetti Monster said through the Buddha, “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

Furthermore the most Holy Text teach us...

3:1 The Flying Spaghetti Monster does not wish us to believe every word of every religion, as that would clearly be a problem and lead to much confusion and conflict.

3:2 All you have to do is be open to finding truth anywhere.

3:3 If you agree with it, believe it, no matter if it comes from the Bible, the Qur‟an, The Buddha, Dave Barry, or any other source imaginable; these are all conduits of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

3:4 The principles of life, liberty, and freedom outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution are principles the Flying Spaghetti Monster chose to convey through men like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

3:5 The lessons of Mohandas Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Voltaire, Plato and Socrates are all lessons of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

3:6 If you were to take everything ever said in a religious context, removed the parts that contradicted each other, and overlapped the commonalities, what you are left with is a single word.

3:7 Love.

Re: Prayer for Tolerance

May we remember
In our humanity
We are part of a world family.

We are part of God's family, not "a world's"

Tolerance
Noting differences
While remaining peaceful.

Differences are to be abhorred. God did not spend His time writing a Bible to have it cast aside in favor of some libertine's view of conscience.

Recognizing that each
Has the right
To determine their reality.

As long as it is God's reality.

Tolerance
Allowing us to remain calm
When we think others should act differently.

This is no way to emulate God. We need to be able to see when people act against God and become His enemy.

Tolerance breeding happiness
As we take tender insights
Into living.

I see your difficulty, you are confusing tolerance with not giving a shit.

Tolerance
Blossoming in peace, joy, happiness, love.
Acceptance in love by practicing love.

This is simply anarchy.

I suspect you say, "Peace out man" and "Chill dude" and, if so, I hope a police officer smacks you in the face with his nightstick. Your words are leading the gullible away from the True Meaning of Life.

Re: Prayer for Tolerance

I'm not Sure that I know this Brother, "Tolerance" - Certainly not in the Biblical sense that I Know our Brother Temperance

If this Tolerance has done something to make you wish to Beeseech the Lord in Prayer with...well, then he is probably a sinner.

And sinners are un$avED and the un$avED are not welcome here anyway.

So I guess that Ends that

Oh wahtever. You're like those Western doctors who tried to put me on ritalin when I was a kid. You know what? They were totall WRONG about me. My mom's healer did some tests on me, and it turns out there's nothing wrong with me. I'm an Indigo child, and I'm just more empathic and creative than most other people. You should look it up and expand your horizons.

You also use witchcraft. The Lord does not like witchcraft & black magic

An Indigo child?

That's just a made up term for parents too lazy to actually parent their kids.

I'll admit that my oldest can be a little hyper at times, but it's nothing that a good beating and some heavy labor doesn't cure up.

Deuteronomy 18:9-12 (King James Version) 9When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. 11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Re: Prayer for Tolerance

Such a nice bit of black magic, ManyPaths. I did take the liberty of asking my husband what an "indigo child" is, and he showed me that the unbiased Wikipedia says:
"Although there are no scientific studies to give credibility to the existence of any indigo children, or their traits, the phenomenon appeals to parents whose children have been diagnosed with learning disabilities and parents seeking to believe that their children are special. This is viewed by skeptics as a way for parents to avoid proper pediatric pharmaceutical treatment or a psychiatric diagnosis which implies imperfection."

It was created by a Satan worshipping hippie in the 1970s and is nothing but new age, Jesus ignoring LIES!

"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone."

I was wondering if "Indigo children" were caused by a particularly rare and virulent form of jaundice.

Re: Prayer for Tolerance

Hmm... that may be true... my husband has told me to be careful of liars on the internet.
Still though, I doubt there are any Scriptures (or that silly secular "science") to prove the existence of "Indigo children." I think a study trying to do so would never be allowed, because it's unethical to say that some children are more special than others.

As Malachi 2: 10 says:
"Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us?"

Re: Prayer for Tolerance

I find myself in a quandary right here. Because what Naomi-Ruth says is essentially the truth...

Yet the unsaved pasta-chomping nitwit is also right about wikipedia being nothing but an unreliable site...

While Jo Freddie is right for the most part (and we shouldn't trust most of the information on Wikipedia), Naomi-Ruth does happen to show one of the few cases where the wiki is correct after all.

Re: Prayer for Tolerance

I wonder if that has anything to do with those lesbots the Indigo Girls?

Re: Prayer for Tolerance

Nobar, I was thinking the same thing. I didn't even know what an "Indigo Child" was when the heathen first mentioned it, but the FIRST image that popped into my mind was a memory from my days as a hellbound sinner in the 90s... Birkenstock wearing communist hippies preaching love and all that ridiculous bull.
