No longer harmonious!
I completely believe this to be true, and actually I knew it was only a matter of time before eHarmony would implode because they were legally FORCED to start allowing same-sex couples. It's completely unbiblical, and goes against the very word of God.
Just because something is made legal or illegal DOESN'T make it right! It's like a jury that has no other choice than to say someone is not guilty, because there wasn't enough evidence to bring a guilty verdict. They may KNOW the person is guilty, many times it's painfully obvious (*cough*OJ*cough*), but because they can only go by what is legally allowed in court, not on their feelings or hunches, they are forced to conclude "not guilty."
Very very sad. The end of a once great company doing wonderful things, bringing together so many men and women of faith; now gone because the "progressives" keep chip chip chipping away at our beliefs through the legal system...
very important move by the U.K.
one that could spread and affect other countries and/or the freedom of speech in the U.S.

Water water....nowhere
and consumption will grow ever more and more people populate the planet...and finding CLEAN sources of water will become harder and harder. I truly believe that the next big battle (if not war) will not be fought over oil, but over food and water, and who had the rights to it.

Unfortunately, I don't think he was saying that because he loved his country. No...I think he was close enough to death to see what was waiting for him on the other side. And i wasn't the pearly gates of Heaven.

you can't have it both ways - you can't shut yourself off, treat your people inhumanely, "flip off" the rest of the world, and then get pissed when we have sanctions against you! You should be happy that you even have things that we can hold sanctions against in the first place!
was Mama T not so saintly?
The issue of "suffering" in Catholicism is a way of taking a Biblical concept and stretching it to its very limits (flogging, walking on knees up stairs, being nailed to a cross, starving, living life completely "poor"). However, this tradition is something that was not promulgated by Christ, nor is it written about in the Bible*.
Over the centuries, Catholicism has been known for taking bits and pieces of the Bible and using them to their own ends, even to the point of rewriting the 10 Commandments, and telling their adherents that they don't need to (or should NOT) read the Bible because that's what priests are for. Not reading your Bible (Revelation), and changing the Bible ("jots & tittles") are two things with dire consequences.
Mother Theresa may have been a very good woman, a "saintly" woman in the eyes of many, but unless she had a personal, saving relationship with the Living God, she was just another human being full of faults and sins, who lived a helpful, but dour life. And without this relationship, no matter how good of a life she lived, this path would not lead her to a life with Christ in paradise. Same for the Pope. Same for anyone, no matter what their rank in life, period. Being worshiped by mankind is no guarantee of a pleasant afterlife!
*self-punishment is not what is implied in the Bible. If one suffers for Christ, it means that one is willing to take a stand, no matter what the circumstance, for one's belief in Christ: that He is Lord and Savior, Creator, God and Messiah over any and all; it does NOT mean self-inflicted suffering because one feels they are a "bad person," and thereby they need to purge themselves of this sin by self-inflicting some type of punishment. By His birth and resurrection, Christ did away with all of the legalism that was running rampant with religion overall (Jewish and otherwise).
