They have no interest in you or I or the welfare of the people...I hate to burst your bubble.Its a place run amuck with money and greed and power.Thats simply all.Thats what sickens me so much about it...because its very much a game of who is better than who about lying to someones face about empty promises. Hahahaha politics in a nutshell. Awesome, I'm gonna use that if you don't mind (I'm in a class called Street Law and everyone in there is VERY opinionated, like me, so the government obviously makes for interesting conversation).

no sweat.
i sound way cynical about it.
but ive gone to big dinners at the Republican conventions with my parents,my dad worked for Tom Delay (hes been in the news of late as Im sure you know...fortunately my dad was not mixed up with the finances but the P.R. end of his terms in the House)..so Ive seen ALOT of what Im talking about first hand.
And Im very unbiased...both sides are horrible.
Its the necessary evil

WOW, dude, thats too weird. I was looking at that website, and whats up with all the satanic stuff, like the symbols and goat heads? I thought they were some sort of Christian cult(which by the way, isn't any better, lol)
Thats crazy insane.

I have read several articles on this and stuff. The Chick company has put books out about them. I've even read somewhere that in some of their highest rituals they call out to...I believe it is Beelzebub. I think they are bad...the Bible says that anything done in secret is bad...basically.

Beelzebub is another word for Satan. Basically. ii've even seen Beelzebub used in the bible too, which i thought was weird, because i thought it wsa only in other books, like in English class, Lord of the Flies, Macbeth, etc.

But yeah, basically anything straying from the core christian beliefs- you can just assume its gonna be bad. A lot of stuff out there is scary, scarier then the stuff is that people acutally believe it.

Yep! I know that Beelzebub is Satan....I think there was even mention somewhere of an actual appearance of the goat head symbol somewhere in their rituals but I can't remember where I read it. I just know if you look at, for example, the Eastern Stars which is basically the female Masons, their flippin' symbol is the inverted star.

if you look at the rituals of the catholic church you will see a lot of straying from God. for instance why so they pray to saints when the bible clearly states there is only one mediator between man and god and it is Christ JEsus? also there is is sacrifice of bread and wine but wasn't Christ Jesus the final sacrifice?
logically it can be argued like this, i have asked many catholics about why they pray to saints and they always say "because Jesus is so busy." But logically if Jesus is fully god and fully man wouldn't he be all powerfull? so how can an all powerful God be short on time? and why wouldn't he want to hear from you personally if he loves you and you are a child of God? (saved in other words.)

it's not judging if God's Word is against it. He wrote it He made the call.
just an after thought.

We can say something is wrong or right, but we cannot judge whether someone is going to hell or heaven. That's God's job.
