Is there a god? What is the meaning of life?

There's nothing wrong with judging, but when someone sees all the faults in everyone else without seeing their own faults, there is a problem. ie. if ThinkTank wants to accuse everyone of being bad Christians for not understanding the Bible, then he should be the one possessing greater understanding of the book he seems to claim to be following.

That day is coming gramma and possibly in our lifetime, we will be free of the yoke of religion and its dogma of servitude.

Free at last! Free at last! Good gawd, Free at last!

I don't see the abuse of science any worse than the abuse of religion as we have experienced it. Perhaps science is even more so threatening since there is no escaping it and there is also no end to it.

Just look at this thread and how religion can work:

It isn't for everyone, but it doesn't meant that it should be taken away from those who feel they need it.

she says she cares for me. Is that the truth? Does she really care for me?

I wonder where $11 million goes for expenses for his tv show?
Is she being honest? Was Jack van Impe telling the truth back
in the 1980s when he said Russia would do this and Russia would do that,
and Russia never did any ot the things he said they would do?

Primary Revenue $8,914,006
