because some of us want to believe in it despite how rediculous it may be. For example some people believe they see jesus face in everyday thibgs like toast, rocks, bit of wood, but to rational people they are nothing more than someone convincing themselfs that something is there when its not

So that we don't die out and get flooded when global warming gets bad and ice melts etc.
SYDNEY - A bizarre row about evolution versus creationism led to an English backpacker fatally stabbing a Scottish backpacker during a fruit-picking trip to earn money for their travels.
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
the Mormons find pants godly because lust is a sin. It leads to bad actions, and feelings after those actions that can leave you full of regret, and other spiritually harmful feelings. They like to not flaunt skin, that's all that is. However realize that the Mormons was started by a man who claimed to use a 'peeping stone' or 'philosophers stone' to find buried treasure to quench his thirst for gold. Also he emerged from an era when everyone claimed to be religiously enlightened. Christians believe that god started our religion at the beginning of time, and no one can really prove otherwise. Where as we KNOW that the mormons was founded by a man Joseph smith. Having been started by a man it reeks of corruption.Mohammed being spirited to heaven by a flaming horse sounds undeniably like Elijah going to heaven in the chariot of flames. In fact the whole Muslim religion sounds like a Christian spin off. It's stories are about 50-60% in concordance with what had already been written in the bible. Again, proven to have been started and founded by man, and to my knowledge to manipulate people into fighting his battles. (in which one thousands of Christians where put to death.)Another thing, you can still have reality, and religion. The bible is an inspired work of art. meaning that it has a lot of symbolism, and creativeness to it. Do I think that life was any different back then than now? No I don't. I think the world was exactly the same as it was today, but we still have god. When the bible says chariot of flames to heaven. What I picture is Elijah dieing in an actual chariot on fire, and that was their creative way of describing it. Jesus said to have a personal relationship with god and the scriptures, so in thinking that, I'm not wrong. However if someone else thought something else, they aren't wrong either.That's why I don't go to church, because they believe that it's there way or the highway. Jesus went from church to church doing 2 things in his time. Teaching people how to be good people, and telling the people that ran the church that they were evil. He said "don't be like the hypocrites that like to stand on street corners, and in synagogues to pray so that man will see them at it. But go into your own room, close your door, and pray. Your father that sees all private things will reward you."he also said. "my father's house is supposed to be a house of prayer, but you have turned it into a den of robbers". it's my belief that nothing has changed. Also the rapture is a book that is COMPLETELY symbolism. Even in it's own book it gives away some of it's symbols. The four horsemen aren't actually four horsemen. they represent something that's going to happen in the world. Also the two beasts aren't really two beasts. they also represent things that are going to happen in the world.
One thing that we should take note is that some of the things in the book of rapture is already beginning to take place. It's talks about a New world order, and a cashless society, and a final world battle, and other things. Most of those things are already being set up. All higher powers in the government are working towards Globalization. The cashless society is going to be brought about with the RFID chip (which I believe is the mark of the beast, wich in the bible states 'no man will be able to buy or sell without it'. They've already started implanting them in kids, and newborns under the pretense of being a medical aid, and other deceiving purposes of use. When we know the chip is an identification and tracking device. They've given out that information themselves. Also they're 'negotiating' with banks to put the chip in TM machines. The one world government was prophesied 2000 years ago, and here we have bill Clinton, George bush sr, and George bush Jr setting it up. The next president in will work for it too. There's a reason why all these people are working for the same thing. they all come from the society of Skull and Bones. Even Time magazine owner did. That's why bush and other bones men have been time's people of the year, of course they are, they're cut from the same cloth.Also the skull and bones is a secret society people know very little about, because everything they do is in the dark. No one is aloud to talk about it, and no one is aloud to enter inside there quarters. However the high priest of the church of Satan has been there, which I find EXTREMELY odd. You are going to be able to find these things out unless you actually do your homework. I can show you a lot of the videos that show what I'm talking about if you'd like to see.The new world order has been prophesied, it will be the first, and the last. Jesus said once these signs take place and start happening this generation will surly not face death until all these things take place. Which means all these things taking place from the book of rapture shows that our lifetime is the last. It's hard to grasp but if you know the book of rapture, and see what's going on in the world, you'll understand.
I can show you a lot of the videos that show what I'm talking about if you'd like to see.
It's a very short jump from watching some harmless videos to "i can show you my peepee, if you show me yours."
Do I need to start a "Man Seeking Man" thread just for you, hoff?
" The Vatican newspaper said the film and Pullman's writings showed that "when man tries to eliminate God from his horizon, everything is reduced, made sad, cold and inhumane". "http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1501119/story.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10483469
have they read the books?
The books attack the Catholic Church directly apparently. The films are kindof 'pan religious'.
