*Does *Happy Holidays

Yeah, because it is ridiculous to see stores that completely rely on Christmas sales pushing something that doesn't ring true for their financial position.

But people who aren't intelligent enough to use capitalization are more rage worthy.

"Objectively, if you look at humanity from the earliest recorded history - roughly 4000 BCE".

Miko was pretty clear with his opening line. Subjectivity is a wonderful thing when kept to oneself, and the pursuit of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment is veritably something you should feel strong about in your own life. But this thread is no place for proselytizing and all that "Christian way or no way" business. Wink wink nudge nudge

The grand facade will soon burn.

Then the "golden age" will begin with Christ ruling over the whole earth from Jerusalem. There will be no more war and everlasting peace across the whole earth.

ALL NATIONS will willingly come and worship Him after seeing God's wrath poured out on the wicked.

As Christ said, "It is written".

nice job advancing the arrogant christian stereotype. oh and just so we are clear on capitalization: jesus christian Muslim, Islam, Muhammad, Allah Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism.

Your angry is cringe worthy and offensive. All religious figures and names should be capitalized, which I do.

You are advocating the angry Atheist stereotype. Jesus can help with that rage.

The system has worked for centuries. Enough said.

Plus, you missed a comma.

Zechariah 8:3-5

3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.



Zechariah 8:20-23

20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:

21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.

22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.

23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

"love and forgiveness" is about as accurate a description for christianity as FNC being "fair and balanced." you really think the LGBT community has seen nothing but love and forgiveness from your kind? you really think the majority of the world which are not christians and have to listen to your bull**** about their religion being inferior to your religion views your kind as nothing but "love and forgiveness."

the system worked for centuries. yeah it's not like africa was being pillaged or anything like that in the last couple of centuries. and people certainly never used christianity to justify doing a lot of ****** up ****.

RE: We are living in a golden age
the thing is harmon is that plenty of people think their religion is the better one. the one that if humanity just adopted it, all the problems in the world will go away. only what you fail to understand is that those people aren't all christian. and yet they believe so strongly that their religion is the better religion. so something has got to give here. who is right. I hope you are in it for the long haul because the other side feels so strongly that their religion is "right" that they are willing to blow themselves (and others) up because of that.
