In his Jan. 20 inaugural address, President Barack Obama said, "The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity." Surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life find that income varies greatly within and across American religious groups.

"Within my earthly temple there's a crowd; There's one of us that's humble, and one of us that's proud. There's one that's broken-hearted for his sins, There's one that unrepentant sits and grins. There's one that loves his neighbor as himself, And one that cares for naught but fame and self. From much corroding care I should be free, If I could once determine which is me!"

The star in the East is Sirius, the brightest star in the nights sky. Which on Dec. 24th aligns with the 3 brightest stars in Orion's Belt. These three bright stars are called today what they were called in ancient times "The Three Kings". The Three Kings and the brightest star Sirius, all point to the place of the Sunrise on December 25th. This is why the 3 kings "follow" the star in the east. In order to locate the Sunrise, the birth of the Sun. The Virgin Mary is the constellation Virgo also known as Virgo the Virgin. Virgo in Latin MEANS Virgin. Virgo is also referred to as the House of Bread. And the representation of Virgo is a virgin holding a sheaf of wheat. ...

The Babylonian Talmud (Complete Soncino English Translation)
Post Date: 2010-12-30 21:48:04 by Itistoolate

Forword The following complete Soncino English translation of the Babylonian Talmud is widely regarded as the de-facto standard. Given its huge size, very few people will find the time to read it in full. The reason why we put it online is to make it easier for both critics and defendants of Judaism to verify whether the shocking quotes published on the Internet are truthful citations of the Babylonian Talmud and confirm whether the Talmud is indeed - as some of its critics claim - the mother of all hate literature. Here a couple of examples: "The Jew is to say on Purim Day: ... cursed be all non-Jews, blessed be all Jews." (Orach Chaim, 660, 16). "Theft, robbery and ...

At the heart of the Christmas story rests some important lessons concerning free enterprise, government, and the role of wealth in society. Let's begin with one of the most famous phrases: "There's no room at the inn." This phrase is often invoked as if it were a cruel and heartless dismissal of the tired travelers Joseph and Mary. Many renditions of the story conjure up images of the couple going from inn to inn only to have the owner barking at them to go away and slamming the door. In fact, the inns were full to overflowing in the entire Holy Land because of the Roman emperor's decree that everyone be counted and taxed. Inns are private businesses, and customers ...

The Truth About Christmas How ironic that the very first rebellion against Jehovah God - involved a Tree. In the Garden of Eden - Satan perched himself upon a Tree and performed a Ventiloquist Miracle - using a snake as a puppet. And over the next thousands of years, mankind continued to rebel against Jehovah God, using Trees in their Religious Services. Peoples of many Lands have not only wroshipped Trees, but they have even worshipped the "Spirits" that supposedly lived within these trees. It is common for Witches and Pagans to perform some of their most sacred ceremonies in the groves of Trees. There is ample historical evidence to show how many different religious groups ...

US Army: Atheists Unfit To Serve

Did you know that the United States Army is concerned with the spiritual well-being of their soldiers? Did you know that if you choose not to believe in the supernatural that the United States Army can consider you unfit to serve? Allow me to enlighten you about an issue that was brought to my attention by my friend, Sgt. Justin Griffith, Fort Bragg, NC. The US Army distributes a mandatory survey called an SFT, which stands for “Soldier Fitness Tracker”. The purpose of this survey is to measure an individual soldier’s competency in four areas, Emotional, Social, Family and Spiritual. Justin is an atheist, as well as a highly dedicated soldier, but according to the SFT, he is ...

Poster Comment:Old Testament literalism is the morality of the right-wing, both in the US and Israel. Diversity (victim cultism) is the morality of the left-wing, both in the US and Israel. Given that the right-wing and left-wing morality of the US and Israel are identical, why should anyone that is rational be surprised that the US and Israel are intimate allies?

Christmas is a time of traditions. If you have found time in the rush before Christmas to decorate a tree, you are sharing in a relatively new tradition. Although the Christmas tree has ancient roots, at the beginning of the 20th century only 1 in 5 American families put up a tree. It was 1920 before the Christmas tree became the hallmark of the season. Calvin Coolidge was the first President to light a national Christmas tree on the White House lawn. Gifts are another shared custom. This tradition comes from the wise men or three kings who brought gifts to baby Jesus. When I was a kid, gifts were more modest than they are now, but even then people were complaining about the ...

The Case for God’ by Karen Armstrong Posted on December 22, 2010 by rehmat1| Leave a comment “No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself,” Holy Qur’an (“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,” Bible) – Karen Armstrong’s motto. Karen Armstrong in his latest book The Case for God explores the relation (focusing especially on Christianity) between the Divine Authority known as Allah, God, Brahman, Nirvana or Dao and the understanding of Him in the past and the modern era of Enlightenment and the Democratic Societies.

Five Ridiculous Things You Probably Believe About Islam

A conservative commentator recently made headlines by claiming 10 percent of all of the world's Muslims are terrorists. An amazing claim, considering that equals 150 million terrorists and if each were to pull off an attack killing just 40 people, they could exterminate all non-Muslim life on earth. Either they're not all that dedicated to terrorism, or the claim is utter insanity. Well, if there's one thing everyone thinks of when they hear "Cracked.com" it's "friend of Islam." Which is why we feel compelled to clarify a few misconceptions for our readers. Also, there is no way this article will ever come back to haunt us in any way. Read more: ...

Dec. 10) -- The first recorded miracle of Jesus was turning water into wine. But now it seems he may be more in the mood for a beer. After all, his most recent sighting was on the facade of an Irish pub on the southeast coast of Australia. The image appeared several weeks ago in the stripped-away paint by the front door of the Seanchai Irish Tavern. A local first pointed out that the missing paint chips formed the shape of Jesus with outstretched arms. Since then, many of the pub's regulars have agreed. http://xml.channel.aol.com/xmlpublisher/fetch.v2.xml?option=expand_relative_urls&dataUrlNodes=uiConfig,feedConfig,entry&id=800245&pid=800244&uts=1291923625 ...

There are 24 shopping days left till Christmas. And 171 days left until Jesus' second coming. That's the message on 40 billboards around Nashville, proclaiming May 21, 2011, as the date of the Rapture. Billboards are up in eight other U.S. cities, too. Fans of Family Radio Inc., a nationwide Christian network, paid for the billboards. Family Radio's founder, Harold Camping, predicted the May date for the Rapture.

But critics say the billboards are a waste of time, one more failed attempt to predict the ...
