Common ancestor , does not mean we evolved from monkeys , down the line we share SHARE a common ancestor. Every species on this planet can be drawn back to single cell organisms , the mitochondria in our cells are symbiots from another species , which have evolved over millions of years to help us process oxygen!
take back religion to our tribal roots , before we had civilisation , before organised religion, we have groups of nomadic tribes and settlers living in communities, their shamans performing ritual to heal the group and care for them, their gods were far different from the ones we have today , so why is it then we have so many differnt aspects and versions of religion! because we all got it wrong or did only one group get it right!
Another thing a great example of chimps evolving , they have over a period of time since humans began recording their behaviour we have noted they use tools and learn to use more tools , most likely the result of evolution and adaptation to their environment, much like our common ancestors before us humans started using tools to adapt!
Crows and ravens even use tools !
I really suggest you read hamlets mill , a great book , and also the invisible landscape by terrence mckenna , find out more about human evolution and how we developed religion.
Religion or the concept of gods were created in part to explain the great beyond and how we came to be because no human no matter how smart could explain our existance.
The greatest thinkers of our species , were religious yet branded heretics for daring to ask why and how , the great philosophers who were around before the christian god even chose to ask why against their own religions!
Humans are indeed a great species , we have come so far in such a short time on the cosmic scale, we have created many wonderful things , however our greatest failure was the creation of the god concept !

there is drastically more evidence that you came from a ( once again a common ancestor with monkeys FFS)
than there is that you came from a spirit !
well if you want to make it perfectly clear you came from the combination of a sperm and egg, both of which are cellular organisms which are part if humans , which have also evolved over millions of years in many species all which can be linked back to single celled organisms ! and thats wayyyyyyyyyyy BEFORE dinosaurs even existed
and before man and before god , because they didnt mention dinosaurs in the bible did they!

Did you know there are four cardinal virtues of secularism?
•Pluralism (a relativistic attitude toward truth, religion and morals)
•Tolerance (a non-judgmental approach to contrary opinions and “lifestyles”)
•Equality (giving equal value to any individual or cultural differences)
•Freedom (emphasis on individual autonomy in moral decision making)
See the second, don't judge. Sharing a message from Heaven is not judging. The words
in the message come from Our Lord. He can judge, He is God. God bless you,

The Bible teaches the opposite of evolution, everything from the garden of Eden onwards degraded, man dies quicker, weather becomes more erratic, animals become more savage by nature, tree grow thorns and the earth starts to break up.
Eventually as the bible predicts this chaos will affect the earth's crust, it will cause the oceans to roar and the water to be polluted, extinction, war, greed, godless people, persecution of the faithful the stars and constellations will be affected to the point of complete chaos.
What we do here affects the Angelic order of the universe.
Crime will increase, studies show that, earthquakes, weather patterns, hate against Christ, churches burnt down, followers hanged for blasphemy in this very age, the cost of disasters upon the earth effects economy, anti Israel generation before Christ returns, nations gearing for war against the Jews as predicted, one currency and desire to bring all religions together, seeking other gods as in Aliens, Genetic tampering in animals and food like the days of Noah.
It is all here to see in front of us, maybe 2012 have some truth in there but it is only the start for some. Maybe it is a satanic plan to bring his version of the past in which he influenced down to his own new end time revelation counterfeit.

The issue isn't one of over population but resource handling. The entire population of the world could fit in the state of Texas. Where does that leave your ego?

That just sounds like a whole bag of STUPID. Why do crazy people who don't want to just live and let live always have to assume Jesus is on their side. As if invoking the name of Jesus is a trump card and automatically adds legitimacy to what by itself are the ravings of a lunatic.
I swear Jesus/the church/religious zealots (from all religions) have caused way more death, destruction, and strife than all the gay/lesbian/bi folks have or could in the future cause combined.
Seriously, we're over populated. having gay couples is a good thing!
there was an experiment done a few years back I remember reading. What they did was put 2 rats in a box. 1 male 1 female. They mated. Then they put 4 in a box... 2 of each and they paired off.. they kept doubling up and by the time they got past 32 they noticed gay couples starting to pair off as space in the box got tight.... the more they added, the greater the instance of gay couples. This experiment would suggest that homosexuality is a natural way of population control.
Think about that for a minute.edit on 29-9-2011 by Whatsreal because: grammer-typo
Whatsreal,
"Live and let live"...you could say that about anything.
These times, and throughout history, I will not follow God, even when it is so obviously disordered. The natural law, men and women together, this is how He made us....
We can know, the "act" is an abomination to God. He loves the sinner not the sin.
And overpopulation is a myth. There is hardly any next generation. Again, cause people do not follow God.
On both, I wish I could change your mind, it's something you should as God about in
prayer. He would desire to show you.
Well my aunt just had a new kid, and my friends sister just had a new kid, one of my cousins in prego, so i think there is going to be a next generation. Please make more sense in your posts

Anyone who has read my posts (both of ya...) knows I have little use for dogmatic religion. I believe there is a God, but that his word (whatever that is...) is unknowable by mere mortals (that would be all of us...in case you missed it.).
But this unrelenting hatred of Christianity is just as bad as any bigotry posited by so called Christians. No where near all Christians defend the wrongs perpetrated in Christianity's name, in fact I'd be so bold as to assert that the majority don't.
Many, dare I say the majority, of Christians live quiet lives and make no effort to shove their religion down the throats of others.
Fuss and fume about the wrongs done by these zealots in Christ's clothing if you will. But don't be so hypocritical as to emulate them in doing so.
Hatred will solve nothing.

Anon,
Your post, I'll comment on a couple. You sound sincere to me.
Reading your reply, to me, it is kind of a mix, sometimes you acknowledge Christian facts and then deny others? Like objecting, protesting the Church and then saying, watch out OP, you are opening up yourself to the evil one posting these messages. I think you are Christian?
"All delusions and woefully inaccurate."
How can you believe this about the message in the OP? Darrell Bennett and others messengers, non-Catholic and Catholic have heard this prophecy from Heaven. How can John Leary's message be the very same as Darrell's prophetic? See the date, May 1, 2000.
It's a hard message but you either believe God is speaking, helping us, strengthening
belief in His Truth or He is silent. An all loving God is not silent, believe in prophecy.
We all have God's gift of free will. To grow, to change after discovering something new is everyone's desire. Fits with the meaning and importance of some to being intellectual. The same for being mistaken, misunderstanding something. It takes a smart person, yes? To say fine, I was wrong and change.
I shared the message on the forum because it reads as if the time is closer. I wish and pray for everyone to get prepared. I write over and over, Heaven keeps repeating the way is confession and daily prayer. And for Catholics make use of the grace of the Sacraments. I also have a personal reason for posting John Leary's message.

He also didn't make us with computers attached to our palms... yet... here we are.
Things not being "natural" isn't an argument against it, and besides, how can you honestly argue that something is unnatural when it is 100% fact that it exists in nature? I'd go as far as to say that suppression of homosexuality is the only thing not natural about the whole situation, and has obviously lead to population problems in more strict areas of the planet. If every single human and animal bred like it was their sole duty, we would be in deep sh# right now. Denying that is beyond ignorant.edit on 29-9-2011 by Partisanity because: (no reason given)

inb4 somewhere down the road there's an earthquake in California and you/your false prophet "predicted it", being that this is an earthquake prone area. That ain't a prophecy, that's something that's bound to happen sooner or later. So unless you can give me an exact date, or even a date within a MONTH of this prophecy, you will be regarded as crazy.
I have a prophecy too, next year during tornado season there will be deadly tornado's in Tornado Ally!!!!! If you live in the Midwest and the South, LEAVE NOW! GOD TOLD ME SO!
