Some Inside Baseball stuff, but a HUGE DEAL for the future of the Episcopal Church

Is it too late for the Anglican Church to adopt "don't ask-don't tell"? Just a peep into the future of our military if Obama has his way.

Other nations have Gay's openly serving in their military and they're doing fine.

Grow up.

Yeah, the French army. That's why they lead the world in white flag waving.

What are you ass?

Great Britain, Israel, Canada, and Australia have lifted their respective bans on openly gay military personnel. These military forces, especially those of Great Britain and Israel, are considered some of the best-trained, toughest militaries in the world. In each case, lifting the ban and allowing gay personnel to serve strengthened, or had no visible impact on, military effectiveness, unit cohesion, and morale. In fact, Britain’s integration of gay soldiers is described by the country’s Defense Ministry as an “unqualified success.”

If were lucky, the Catholic Church will be out of business in the next 50 years.

The Episcopal Church (the denomination I attend) may be out of business in the next 50 years, that's for sure. Through years of watering down Christ's message and moving towards increasingly PC stances on everything, all they have done is to destroy the Episcopal Church and halve their membership and march headlong into heresy.

As for the Catholic Church (and Christianity as a whole) of this I can be sure. 50 years, 500 years or 5000 years from now, there may not be an America but there will still be a Church. It survived the Dark Ages, the Black Plague, Roman Persecution and Communist Persecution and they will survive the latest persecution by so-called enlightened seculurists.

The Church's message is simple, but extraordinarily true, and is one of the few institutions still left that is based on objective truth.

There is a God.
He sent his Son Jesus to Earth to die to attone our sins.
He rose from the dead thus conquering death itself.
God's love and forgiveness and promise of eternal life is available to all who accept the gift of sacrifice of his son Jesus.

That message, will be around centuries and millenia after anything we now recognize as contemporary "truth" has faded from memory.

I'm sorry, there is no God and you know it. As soon as you face that fact, the better you'll deal with it.

I KNOW you this Mr. P.

Proof of God's existence is all around us if you open your eyes to see.

Can you really say that flowers, dogs, gravity, the planets, etc... were all accidental? Because that is the central argument to the "There is No God" debate. If there is no God, than all of this randomly occured.

Just using simple logic, and SCIENCE will prove that that theory is a bigger leap of faith than believing in God. Scientists seem to all agree that the universe is approximately 14 billion years old and started at a point called the singularity and then mere seconds after the "beginning" the Universe expanded to billions of light years across.

No one seems to highlight the fact that this scientific theory that has come around in the last 50 years completely destroys any thought of a random design to the universe. The probablity that within 14 billion years all matter accidently formed themselves into the absolutely decernable patterns is almost statistically impossible. All evidence points to some form of design to the universe and design points to the existence of God.

God's existence is proven, every day, when you look at any matter, animals, the sun or anything else. It all SCREAMS God's existence.

The truth about atheists is not that God's existence cannot be proven, it is that the have CHOSEN to not believe in God because belief in God comes with consequences and they do not want to sign on for that.
