    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference....

    This prayer has helped a lot of alcoholics through the worse of it all....and it has helped me with life........

    Corinthians 13:11
    “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”

    Don't walk away.

    Jeremiah 29:11   "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord; "plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and  future."

    "For the Lord, He it is that doth go before me.  He will not fail me nor forsake me.  Fear not; neither be dismayed."   Deuteronomy 31: 6 c & d; and 8 a& b.

    I agree.

    "Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." Proverbs 4:6-7,

    "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

    witch, I think that means the same thing as , " Go forth, and sin no more "
    witchway

    mycatsmom, Yes it is very similar to that!
    witchway

    Funny how just the woman was accused of the indisgression and punished. How patriarchal that is. I always thought it took two to Tango!

    Jesus Wept.

    Religion is the opiate (opium) of the masses - Karl Marx


    I don't want to belong to any club that would accept people like me as a member


    - Groucho Marx


     

    mycatsmom

    dig, You sure it wasn't Woody Allen that said that ?
    digger

    It was definately the Marx boys. Woody used the opiate line via Keaton in one of his movies but Karl the Kommie deserves full credit.

    AUSTRALIAN REGULAR ARMY  "Yea though I walk through the Valley of Death I will fear no evil for I am the evilist son of a bitch in the valley."


     "A man stood at the Pearly gates,


    His face worn and old.


    He stood before the Man of fate,


    For admission to the fold.


    What have you done St Peter asked ,


    To seek admission here?


    I have been a soldier sir for many a year.


    The Pearly gates flew open wide,


    St Peter rang the bell.


    Come in and choose your harp he said'


    You have had your share of hell."

    "Judge not and you shall not be judged" :).

    Luke 6:37
    [ Judging Others ] “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
    coolandy2000

    @Headless Man Amen :)

    Revelation 22:17 - And the Spirit and the bride say," Come", and let the one who hears say, "Come". And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.

    "Judge and you shall not be judged,' Do not condem and you will not be condemmed." "Forgive and you will be forgiven"

    I like the verse from the Koran: Sura 2:256 ' Let there be no compulsion in religion'.

    nomdeplume

    Never read any Rushdie but I remember people ostentatiously reading it on the Tube at the time, trying to make some politico/religious point I suppose.
    Headless Man

    compulsion |kəmˈpəl sh ən|
    noun
    1 the action or state of forcing or being forced to do something;

    Then why do they do it?
    nomdeplume

    Headless, I don't get many Muslims calling at my door trying to persuade me to join their religion as do Jehovah's Witnesses nor am I accosted by young men in my shopping precinct trying to get me to become a Mormon.
    I am as happy in my unbelief as you appear to be in your devotion to your brand of Christianity.

    Luke:18-17 Verily I say unto you,Who soever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

    Thou canst leadeth a horse to water, but cannot maketh it drinketh. I think it's from the book of first Moses

    Verily, you have been excluded for the betterment of entire humanity. (Al Quraan)

    I have my opinion of your religion, I will refrain from commenting as I have been warned on several occasions about my opinion. It is not a good one however. I gave you a TU only because you had the **** to post this ever irritating message.

    Al Quraan Chapter no1   Allah says to Messenger of Allah Muhammad Peace be upon him 


    if anybody ask you about me tell them i am near them i hear their calls when ever they call me

    Headless Man

    Peace,peace, but there is no Peace…….
