About Bottle Deleting

Why would anyone want to disgard these bottles especially if they are not vulgar messages?
---
it's the god freaks, they are never happy, they just say they are
---
LOL!
---
Who says anyone is disgarding them.
---
Do you mean discard?
---
made it to Pennsylvania on 10/11/2006
---
I found I don't need to go to church anymore with all the bible thumping bottles....those are the ones I'm sorely tested with when it comes to wanting to discard!
---
i DONT THINK RELIGION, OR POLITICS BELONG IN THESE BOTTLES. lets have fun
---
--
I've had them discarded and they had nothing to do with religion.
---
I agree! NO POLITICS OR RELIGION in these bottles!!!! We all could have fun and get advice from others who have been there before us. We can even reveal our enter most thoughts and see if others have the same outlook as we do. WE ALL COULD LEARN!! 10/18/06 From one who cares in Tennessee

I'm not american but I think George Bush is the most danderous person in the free world , they talk about terrorism ! the CIA invented it . down under 16/10/06
---
All you liberal democrats can't come up with a plan you just want to run your mouths. There isn't anyone in your party that is capable of what the current president has and is doing. I haven't heard a thing about what they would do. And what about the military. Those men and women are over there for us. Degrading them isn't right. There's a time and place for that, at war is not. We must all realize here in the US that we need to stand united in this, after all we are suppose to be proud americans.

why do Americans ALWAYS have to mention God or Jesus???
Bonjour de Nouvelle Zélande aussi!
---
No French crap here!! Global language = English.
---
Intimidated because you can't understand? So sorry, why don't you try learning another language or maybe just being tolerant of other people? Pass it on if it bugs you. No one's forcing you to read it.

I don't really speak French, but a quick check with Babelfish says that the first poster was saying hello and her name is Lille.

The second bit of French says something about being from Chicago and it being Friday and have a good weekend (something like that)

Kia Ora means hello in Maori, by the way.

One of the above says hello and goodbye and their name is Aiga.

Ok, satisfied? Continue speaking whatever language you wish.

Have a great day!

Bonjour from New Zealand lol... there has been a lot of french in this message! good thing i can speak french lol....Au Revoir oct 5 06
---
The question was asked "why do Americans ALWAYS have to mention God or Jesus?" I personally think it is because America has a lot of Christians; we also have a lot who aren't. But, for those of us who are, Christ is LOVE and He just flows out in an attempt to love others, in other words, He wants you to know His love for you!
---
I learned french but still don't understand it, maybe because I don't like that language - no offense :-)
Wish you all a wonderful day.

Debating the Existence of God

The fool has said in his heart there is no God
*JM*
---
That is what makes him a fool...
DP
---
when someone proves there is one i'll believe
---
Come on...look at the world today. It's never been worse. We, as humans, have the right to question His existance.
---
Doubting Thomas, must you feel the wounds to know he exists. Where is your faith, he is here it is you who is lost.
---
all you have to do is look around, my gosh how do you think this earth got here in the first place, the trees, ocean, animals, people, everything, man didn't make the trees and the animals who do you think put all of us here, yes I know how we were born, but you know it had to start somewhere, and it didn't start with your great great great.....grandfather.
---
Must you see the breeze to know it is there? Must you hear the sunrise to know that a new day is breaking? Must you see the soul for love to exist? No, my dearest. It is all in faith that what we are, and why we are will be spoken to us.
---
Religion is the greatest obstacle mankind has to overcome before peace is possible. Eliminate religion, accept that mutual respect and cooperation is the only true path to utopia, then we can have a truely intelligent conversation. Until then, continue to live in your dream world and perpetuate hate and distrust for one another.

Debate on Terrorism

-:all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing:-

---

Therefore, we must lead the fight against terrorism. Terrorists are evil and we must defeat them.

---

evil begets evil. we need to look for the source of said 'evil's' arbitrary predisposition toward the self-implied 'good.' money and resources have all but squeezed humanity dry. there are alterantives to energy, food, transportation and all the fundamentals of life. we need to explore and create, not destroy.

---

..what he said

---

Do at least one good deed every day.



RS

New Zealand, 19 Sept 06

---

How true is that - too bad the forces that be aren't as intelligent...

---

No you missed the point and the reality of the situation. Terrorists are themselves evil and therefore need to be destroyed--not just defeated. Anything less will not cure the problem. Remember, they will only be satisfied when YOU (and all like you) are DEAD.

---

But also recognise that not all muslims, afghan,turk,iraqui etc is a terrorist no matter their religion. The EXTREMISTS of any faith are the most dangerous......

---

All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is to keep leaving God out of it... 9/24/06-JMH in MA

take god out of the mix and they will find something else to hate about us

before we cure terrorism, we shook know what make these people fight u maybe u went to their lands *** their womens. stole their oil

maybe we should look for the cause before we start to cure the result

Alien Contact with Earth vs. Bible

Do you think that within the next 20 years or so we will have full alien contact on the earth?!
---
The Bible doesn't say anything about aliens, but it does say ...

Jesus is coming soon!


---
They're already on earth
---
think aliens might be more fun, so long as they're friendly!
---
20 years. OK. I think I will go with probably not. I have it on good authority that they are still about 22 years out.
---
They are already here. Haven't you seen Micheal Jackson
---
You're having contact with one now. Hello...I'm Rjashta from Mars. How are you?
---
I don't think it is outside the realm of posibility.

I just hope that we have a government that isn't corrupt and that doesn't try to exploit them or destroy their world.
---
I agree with the poster that says the Bible doesn't mention them. And Jesus IS coming soon.. are you ready? It won't matter if aliens are here or not. What will matter is if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and allowed Him to come into your life and make Him your Lord!
---
What a bottle! Aliens vs Jesus...which is coming sooner?I say they are both already here,aliens physically,and Jesus spiritually,for those who believe.You have to believe in something for it to be real for you.
---
I think they are already here just because The Bible does't mention them doesn't mean they don't exist

The Meaning of Life in an Oceangram

what is the meaning of life?

---
enjoying it!
---
everones meaning of life is different, you have to find you own.
---
Agreed. For me: enjoy life, do no harm.
---
no one knows for sure. create your own meaning. make it beautiful!
---
who cares...just live, love and laugh
---
Leaving the world in a better condition than the day you were born -- for the future generations.

Love your kids like there is no tomorrow because there may not be!

Life is what you make of it and how you treat it - enjoy it and it's wonderful, question it and complain and it's heart-breaking. Just follow the Golden Rule and you'll have a long and happy life "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You"

---

---
start making politicians accountable for the monies they receive. People are starving and being kept in a poverty state while lying politicians are eating high off the hog......its got to stop.......funny how they *** for the people and change the rules to keep the people beneath them.
---
We were created to enjoy a relationship with our creator. He gave us everything we need for happiness and we went and stuffed it up of course. Our meaning now is to make ourselves right with him through Christ.
---
I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I believe that we were given life as a gift. The giver of that gift wants us to appreciate it and use it in such a way as to make a positive contribution to the world. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but like I said, I haven't quite figured it all out :o)
---

---
Hey and back to ya, but the meaning of life is to always go to the positive! Negative does not work. It does not ever help. Find the positive in any situation and life is always better!
---
Life doesn't have to have a "meaning." Just live it!
---
The meaning of life is what we make of it.
-------Indiana 9-26-06
---
It's all in the attitude, My attitude say's my meaning is judged by the degree that I am enjoying peace, health, and love.

Life is at best a dream and at worst a nightmare from which you cannot escape.

Concepts of God and Religion

i feel like I disappointed my pastor by getting baptized in my church and then not going to church very often. this makes me sad
---
You should worry about your relationship with God, not your pastor.
---
In Mica it says to do God's work nothing is said about going to church
---
Well said. Agree. NZ.
---
me to (little_nikki TM)
---
I've heard that we are not human beings having spiritual experiences, but spiritual beings having human experiences. So we are part of God wherever we go.
---
We are God, and God is us.

We are not made to spend our lives worrying about whether we disappoint other humans because that will always happen. If you spend your life worrying, you will never be good enough. It is our duty to take care of each other and of our Earth. If we do that, we will be the person we were meant to be.

Besides, the holiest place I've ever been was in the heart of a forest, looking out over a green valley. Church is where you find it.

Oh I like that - Church is where you find it! I don't go to Church but I pray and talk to God all the time.
---
Disappointing your pastor is not as important as disappointing God. Do something nice for someone today.
---
thanks for the kind words, i've been trying to figure out how to work the religion issue with my boyfriend and it's been hard. I really like the line, "Church is where you find it.." and where you feel it...

thanks! Sarah, Vermont
---
yeah to all of that
---
I wish people would keep their religion to themselves.
---
----
to be a good person is what it is all about. Do as Jesus would do.
---
I don't believe in religion, but I believe in being good to other people and taking care of our home, the earth. If religion helps you feel good about yourself and be kind to your fellow man, that's great. If it doesn't, leave it behind. Life is too short for guilt trips and meaness. Live, love, and enjoy those around you. If you want a religion, try this:
"Kindness is my religion"
(by the Dalai Llama)
---
I too, really like the "Church is where you find it". I read my Bible, and I pray right here at home, and anywhere else I feel led to do so. In the forest, on the beach, walking down the street. I pray as Jesus instructed, in private (to myself in public places). As much as I've read the my bible I have never read where Jesus promoted any one religion.
Religion is manmade.
The definition of Christian is Christ like. Follow God's word, and Jesus' example. God is the one you will ultimately answer to, not your Pastor :)
---


---
It's comforting to know that there are people who feel as I do out there - thank you for your messages - you have made me feel more at peace.

When in Rome..

Do you think that if you go to LIVE (not just visit) in another country you should have to learn the native language AND agree to abide by the laws
---
Why would anybody want to live in a country with all the fear and uncertainty that comes from not being able to ask for help, defend yourself to the police, talk to your neighbors, seek medical treatment or the like?

And yes, you as the newcomer, have a citizen's responsibilty to obey the laws. It's not your country, you do not have the right to change the laws. Only if you decide to actually become a citizen do you have that right.
---
DONT GO SOMEWERE SAFE
---
i think it is not only rude but VERY disrespectful to live in a country and not even bother to learn the language. if you can't even be bothered to do so, GO HOME TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY - WE DON"T WANT YOU HERE!

Unanimity of Belief

"Fantastic doctrines (like Christianity or Islam or Marxism) require unanimity of belief. One dissenter casts doubt on the creed of millions. Thus the fear and the hate; thus the torture chamber, the iron stake, the gallows, the labor camp, the psychiatric ward.

That's true

indeed - which is why one single candle can absolutely descimate the darkness
