He was just playin'. He wanted to see your light saber.

Remember the 2001 movie The Others where the ghosts thought that the human beings haunted them. Alejandro Amenabar directed. Maybe the lightening did hit the target.

Here is something that I found today that answers all you who believe there is no God.

SOMEBODY'S RAISING THEIR KID RIGHT!

One Nation, 'Under God.'

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.

TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.

TEACHER: Did you see God up there?

TOMMY: No.

TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. Possibly he just doesn't exist.

A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions.

The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?

TOMMY: Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?

TOMMY: Yes

LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?

TOMMY: No

LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she possibly may not even have one!

(You Go Girl!)

FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT' II CORINTHIANS 5:7

In my estimation: How dare you believe there is no God? When you look at the beauty of this country: Yellowstone National Park, The Grand Canyon, the Black Hills of South Dakota and on and on. How can one doubt that there was a higher power that created all this? There is no question in my mind that there is a God. Someone made all this, it could not have happened by just chance. We are blessed.

Another way of illustrating the same concept is : You can't see the wind, but you can see the efects of the wind. We can't see God but can see his workmanship in the creation, this world and it's beauty.

Why is that I am the only one who has noticed that these so-called Chrisians that "believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible" don't ever take literally what Christ said about the rich?

OK tell me what did Christ say about the rich pray tell what did he say

He said that they were such hard turds that they could not pass through the gates of heaven.

Hahahahaha no he didnt he said it was harder for the rich man to get into heaven because the rich man dosent need God or anything so he relies on his own powers and money to salve things.But on that last day all his money can not buy what God has given him for free if only he had trusted in God and not the money he called God.To be rich is not a sin but to be rich and not beleave in God will be his down fall.

"I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."

You got it right but it isent a sin to be rich

That quote is attributed to Jesus so if you are a Christian, someone who emmulates the life of Christ, you must believe it.
