from Lasabre Monday, August 07, 2006 - 09:06 (Agree/Disagree?) This is one of the most honest things i've read in a while. The word of God says that He requires honesty from the inward parts and this expression is an honest one and that's all God requires. The fact that you have gotten in out can now afford the opportunity to really grow. If you are still around then you've lived something!!!! Although many will not understand, your honest expression causes Him to be evern nearer to you even if you can not feel His presence. (reply to this comment)

From AndyH Monday, August 07, 2006, 09:51 (Agree/Disagree?) First of all, it's a joke. The Onion is a comedy newspaper. Second, BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! You're a dumbass! (reply to this comment)

from Samulan Sunday, December 05, 2004 - 16:40 (Agree/Disagree?) Actually, I believe he's right on the money... An awesome post... Its exactly 100% how I feel. Im like so many others with alot of pain and suffering in my life and I myself have gone to church (reluctantly as a child) since as far back as I can recall... That is untill the age of 25... I really believe that JC is real and he's proven it in ways that would take far too long to ever explain... However I cant count the number of times Ive been on my knees for HOURS asking/begging for help in MY hour of need. I have a 7 year old daughter with extreme scoliosis/learning curve/hearing trouble/inablility to walk or crawl or even speak at all...and I think worst of all her troubles and the one thing that destroys me the most is when she goes thru her seziures... Theres no way I can imagine to destroy a man then to spill out all this B.S. about how F********* wonderous and loving thou art and to prove your exsistance and spout out about how great you were in a book and say "ask and yee shall find... knock and the door shall be open .... when 2 or more are gathered together.." and turn your back as he's crying out... It's pure B.S. Ive had several churches pray for me ..and my lil' one.... god I swear I wish I never heard of him.... so F***** loving piece of SH*** only PEOPLE will help you....only your family...BLOOD ...not B.S. ...and dont give me the ..."oh he puts people in your way" B.S. cuz if I was on a bus in IRAQ.... guess the next looney with a bomb in his hand that takes out everyone onboard for his "beliefs" musta been sent by somebody ..eh? ...or maybe MR. "Ill carry you through life's hardships" is done sitting at the parkbench smoking a cigarette watching the SHOW!!! with all his amazing grace.... ...yes there are those that have lost thier lil' ones... and I'm really sorry... I just wont look to "him" anymore.... (reply to this comment)

from thepersoniamnow Saturday, September 07, 2002 - 11:54 (Agree/Disagree?) Is this site about getting back at the family or Jesus Christ? Personally I would be a little bit worried about my head if I had written something like that pal (reply to this comment)

From anon Saturday, October 26, 2002, 21:10 (Agree/Disagree?) I dont see how you could possibly have any use or respect for religion, after all we have seen it is capable of... our entire lives were fucked up in the very name of it and yet you defend it... And to think , they called themselves the "elite" "gods called out and chosen" "the cadre" "it" All in all, its just another illustrious page in the book of atrocities (the inqusition etc.)caused by belief in this jesus fellow... So, to any one who feels a twinge of "I'm better than the next person because..." Let them take heed to the sad and ulimately destructive end it will acomplish. The building of exclusive groups that feel they have something better than anyone are the very makings of eventual Jonestowns, Wacos and yes Families of Love(reply to this comment)

From 4am_Insomniac Saturday, September 07, 2002, 15:44 (Agree/Disagree?) I'm not personally trying to get back at either the Family or Jesus Christ (Even then since he died 2000 years ago that would be useless). Personal beliefs are just that, "personal". Making a broad statement like "you're worried about my mental health" because of my choice of belief is almost as presumptions as the Family believing that their way was the only way. Although I may be an agnostic (not an athiest), I do have respect for other people's beliefs, which you may question due to what I previously posted. I personally think that people get religion mixed up with their personal belief and take their religion too seriously. Thanks, thepersoniamnow, you proved my point. (reply to this comment)

From Deranged1 Tuesday, September 10, 2002, 10:41 (Agree/Disagree?) The only thing it proves is that if you make fun of sensitive subjects people will get upset. As you noted though, you didn't write this, so I see no reason for attacking you over it.(reply to this comment)

From Lance Saturday, September 07, 2002, 15:25 (Agree/Disagree?) Why should the "pal" be worried about his head? It's what's inside the head that matters. This was well written, good job 4am!(reply to this comment)
