You will find this to be true in any walk of life. Whether you are discussing politics,religion, or selling plastic widgets at the 5 and dime. There will always be someone that says yes it is ,or ,no it's not concerning the same subject.Quote:
There are equally as many pro mason websites as there are anti mason....obviously you chose the anti one. Does not surprise me
I run most of what I have learned in life through a biblical filter. because I believe it to be absolute truth that doesn't change. and the bible covers a great multiple of sciences
Some peoples base lines are Socrates ,Obama, this religion ,that religion,, you name it people come at things from different perspectives in life. And that helps formulate their opinions.
If things don't contradict what I have learned in life then I consider them plausible. May be it is or may be it isn't . That sort of thing.
It interesting to study how the systems of the world operate from a biblical point of view and be able to see things develop in my day and time. I'm not saying the Illuminati is. I'm saying may be it is and may be it isn't
Ken, I think you meant "which" God. Unless you are into a whole 'nother thing here. In "which" case I think you are talkin' bout "wiccans" not wickens! Now, having been the spelling marm for a minute, just think how many things may have gone awry in the Bible due to all the translations. It is a great book. But I never will take it literally, because we do not know what it says.....literally.Quote:

Even if one was smart enough to do that, they would never get by all of the environmental impact studies required of such an imposition on the environment.
More correctly, they believed in a god of nature but not the Christian God nor that Jesus was a god or son of a god.Quote:
