/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Maher interviews some of religion's oddest adherents. Muslims, Jews and Christians of many kinds pass before his jaundiced eye. Maher goes to a Creationist Museum in Kentucky, which shows that dinosaurs and people lived at the same time 5000 years ago. He talks to truckers at a Truckers' Chapel. (Sign outside: "Jesus love you.") He goes to a theme park called Holy Land in Florida. He speaks to a rabbi in league with Holocaust deniers. He talks to a Muslim musician who preaches hatred of Jews. Maher finds the unlikeliest of believers and, in a certain Vatican priest, he even finds an unlikely skeptic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With quotes from major figureheads like Thomas Jefferson, George W. Bush and Osama Bin Laden, Bill Maher, with a Jewish-Catholic background, sets out to prove that having faith and seeking directions from God is basically ridiculous and may be due to a neurotic disorder. Interviewing Christians, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Mormons, scientists, gays, and atheists, he cites that the number of non-believers is increasing in North America. He attempts to prove his point by citing inconsistencies in the Bible, the controversial birth of Lord Jesus, the inability of religious heads to account for His absence for over 18 years, as well as the absence of any concrete evidence that disproves the theory of evolution.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1154368030416478791-2536272576158170381?l=ss-religion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/feeds/2536272576158170381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1154368030416478791&amp;postID=2536272576158170381' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/2536272576158170381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/2536272576158170381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/2010/07/religulous-2008.html' title='Religulous 2008'/><author><name>SSinvestor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UEBkE5daHO0/TF8_7bMVpYI/AAAAAAAAFLY/-kghlpcEenw/S220/svein+new+glasses.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154368030416478791.post-8373533028878548362</id><published>2009-11-29T13:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-29T15:37:21.251-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='greatest story explained'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carlyle group'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='judo-christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zietgiest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Osama bin laden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zodiac'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='world stage'/><title type='text'>Zietgiest : The Movie - Remastered / Final Edition</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 326px" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.ca/googleplayer.swf?docid=" hl="en&amp;amp;fs=" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does Christianity, 911 and The Federal Reserve all have in common?

This astonishing documentary explores their world - in their homes, at conferences, and on a wide-ranging tour of Israel. By interweaving Christian, Zionist, Jewish and critical perspectives along with telling archival materials, the filmmakers probe the politically powerful - and potentially explosive - alliance between Evangelical Christians and Israel...an alliance that may set the stage for what one prominent Evangelical leader calls "World War III."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="669" height="360"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.megavideo.com/v/AEQO7P5P109d4dc40529052918fa5b3a021ff4af"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.megavideo.com/v/AEQO7P5P109d4dc40529052918fa5b3a021ff4af" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="669" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1154368030416478791-146548346209542505?l=ss-religion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/feeds/146548346209542505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1154368030416478791&amp;postID=146548346209542505' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/146548346209542505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/146548346209542505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/2010/08/waiting-for-armageddon-2009.html' title='Waiting for Armageddon (2009)'/><author><name>SSinvestor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UEBkE5daHO0/TF8_7bMVpYI/AAAAAAAAFLY/-kghlpcEenw/S220/svein+new+glasses.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154368030416478791.post-6045226244720060421</id><published>2009-02-02T05:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-22T10:56:28.848-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='prophecies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God&apos;s Final Witness Book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Witness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='end times'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God&apos;s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Final'/><title type='text'>2008 - God's Final Witness</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="FLOAT: left; WIDTH: 410px"&gt;&lt;span class="headline2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="body"&gt;From now until the latter part of 2008, many prophecies are going to begin to be fulfilled, especially the Seven Thunders of the Book of Revelation, which the apostle John saw but was restricted from recording. Those thunders are revealed in this book, as well as detailed accounts of the final three and one-half years of man's self-rule on earth, which are recorded in the account of the Seventh Seal of Revelation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of these prophecies concern the demise of the United States over the next year, which will be followed by man's final world war. This last war will be the result of clashing religions and the governments they sway. Billions will die! This time will far exceed even the very worst times in all human history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As these events unfold, the world will increasingly become aware of the authenticity of the words in this book and realize that Ronald Weinland has been sent by God as His end-time prophet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This book is primarily directed to the people of the three major religions of the world (Islam, Judaism and Christianity), whose roots are in the God of Abraham. Ronald Weinland has been sent to all three.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="FLOAT: right; WIDTH: 179px"&gt;&lt;img height="289" src="http://the-end.com/images/2008_Gods_Final_Witness_big.jpg" width="179" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="PADDING-RIGHT: 4px" height="22" src="http://the-end.com/images/yellow.gif" width="179" align="right" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="body"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The prophesied end-time reveals the demise of the United States and the beginning of man's final war.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="10" src="http://the-end.com/images/arrow.gif" width="7" /&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.the-end.com/2008GodsFinalWitness/2008_Gods_Final_Witness.pdf"&gt;Download Free Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="10" src="http://the-end.com/images/arrow.gif" width="7" /&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.the-end.com/2008GodsFinalWitness/Order/"&gt;Order Free Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1154368030416478791-6045226244720060421?l=ss-religion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/feeds/6045226244720060421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1154368030416478791&amp;postID=6045226244720060421' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/6045226244720060421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/6045226244720060421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/2008/05/2008-gods-final-witness.html' title='2008 - God&apos;s Final Witness'/><author><name>SSinvestor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UEBkE5daHO0/TF8_7bMVpYI/AAAAAAAAFLY/-kghlpcEenw/S220/svein+new+glasses.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154368030416478791.post-6330542484547385303</id><published>2009-01-24T13:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-22T10:56:28.849-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='world war'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='three'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='3'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nostradamus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='future'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='III'/><title type='text'>Nostradamus World War 3 Predictions</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.nostradamusonline.com/affiliates/click.php?refid=YR579iuSDZ"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nostradamusonline.com/images/banner468x60.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Crazed leader launches nuclear bombs on Mediterranean and Europe&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p class="style172" align="left"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Century II, Quatrains 3 and 4)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="intro"&gt;During a period of continuing unrest, the leader of a Middle Eastern country will be able to obtain a nuclear weapon. He will go to the greatest lengths over the smallest things and will not hesitate to use the weapon because of his obsessions with deadly warfare. The people he is warring against retaliate with a nuclear weapon. The country has a coast on the Mediterranean.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img height="257" src="http://www.nostradamusonline.com/images/nuclear.jpg" width="429" /&gt; &lt;p&gt;One of the bombs will land in the Mediterranean instead of the land, poisoning all the fish. The passages of trade in the region will be disrupted so that the people on the other coast will be desperate for food and will eat the fish anyway. It will happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean in a region of dark-colored cliffs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Century III, Quatrain 83)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The nuclear weapon being dropped by one of the Middle Eastern countries will spark off yet another war on top of that war. European nations will try to interfere to diminish the threat to oil supplies. When the European countries try to interfere, the crazed leader will use the rest of his arsenal on Europe, most striking the Italian Peninsula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The European Mediterranean coast, particularly that of Italy and France, will be almost uninhabitable, and Italy will get the brunt. This leader is not the Antichrist but helps to set the stage for the Antichrist to rise to power with little or no opposition. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Century IV, Quatrain 67)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A very bright, previously unknown comet will appear and coincide with the time of great geological troubles, with earthquakes and volcanoes erupting and disrupting weather systems. This will cause widespread famines, droughts, and social &lt;img height="198" hspace="5" src="http://www.nostradamusonline.com/images/vol.jpg" width="135" align="right" vspace="5" /&gt;upheavals in unexpected places. Nations that are considered prosperous and powerful, particularly western nations, will be weakened. They will be torn with civil strife and rioting as people migrate to areas that have water and can support crop-growing. The social upheaval and weakening of political structures will help the Antichrist come to power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The United States in particular will be subject to serious natural disasters, particularly earthquakes and flooding, and flatten the nation from end to end, causing enormous conflict, despair, and misery. The US will be bankrupted attempting to deal with its disasters. Three other great nations will send aid to help the citizens survive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="style5"&gt;&lt;span class="style176"&gt;(Century VIII, Quatrain 29)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earth changes will take place that will help the Antichrist's drive for world conquest. In central Europe, southern Europe, and in the Middle East, around the eastern end of the Mediterranean, there will be severe floods. As a result of the disruption to local governments by the natural disasters, the Antichrist will move his troops in under the guise of helping the people restore civil order, but really use this as a device to take over countries, and to use the populations like slaves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Serious economic problems will persist along with great social unrest, contributing to the ease with which the Antichrist can seize power. The frightened and hopeful populace will be vulnerable to his rhetoric. The Antichrist will use the disasters as opportunities to overthrow governments and sneak spies into a country. Martial law will be declared in many areas to stop rioting and looting. The Middle East, the source of his power, will not be as devastated as the rest of the world. He offers assistance to other countries trying to recover but he will eventually stab them in the back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Antichrist's rise to power in Middle East&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="style172"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Century II, Quatrains 23 and 81)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Antichrist will take over Iran by using a human decoy to trick the Iranian Ayatollah in power. This will involve the "yes men" and puppets of the Ayatollah's court. The Antichrist will first drive away internal supporters of the Ayatollah by starting a civil war. Then he will put forth a man as a leader, a man for Iranians loyal to the Ayatollah to concentrate their hate on. The man will be assassinated while Iran is being taken over, and his opponents will think they have foiled the overthrow of power by assassinating him. But they will find out later he was merely a decoy and that they played into the plans of the Antichrist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Antichrist will initially obtain power in his own sphere, Asia, and the Middle East. As he grows out of this arena, and into Europe, the next step will be into the Mediterranean, his area of strength. Because of his Middle Eastern heritage he will have already united North Africans, who are sympathetic to his cultural background, with his Asian and Middle Eastern conglomerate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fiasco from communication breakdown between two superpowers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="style172"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Century II, Quatrains 35 and 48)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through a mistake, a breakdown in communications between two powerful countries will occur. The situation is a lot more complex than will appear on the surface. The leader involved will feel great regret about what happened and will want to continue his career and help correct the situation, to help make up for the adverse affects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But he will be hung, symbolically, by others wishing to take his position in the organization. He will be hung as far as politics and his career are concerned. It will almost be like committing suicide because in the end he will be a broken man. The entire event will be viewed as a fiasco from both sides. It will have very harmful and even cataclysmic consequences.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Third world country leader creates strife&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Century III, Quatrain 60)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A "young dark man" will arise as a leader in a Third World country; his main goal is to unite the other Third World countries to do battle with the superpowers. The area of conflict will be in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, particularly around the Adriatic and the Caspian seas and Israel. No definite winner will emerge but the strife will help set the stage for the Antichrist. Many prophecies in the Bible refer to events in this region.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Antichrist profits from radar research in Europe&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Century I, Quatrain 6)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Research on a more sophisticated type of radar and sensing devices will give greater information to the operator, i.e. an airplane pilot. But the first experiments with the technology will fail in a disastrous accident, when the vibrations emitted by the device cause the chassis of the plane to become weakened and dangerous. The scientists involved with the research will have to temporarily abandon the research because of diplomatic breakdowns, the threat of war, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will take place before the Antichrist comes to full power. It will happen in Europe at the time the Antichrist is strengthening his base of power in the Middle East. The devices are currently under development but have not been tested yet. But this is another historical event that will permit the Antichrist to take over Europe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;War game simulation by Britain in Europe leads to disaster&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Century II, Quatrain 2)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a war-game maneuver involving Great Britain and European troops a malfunctioning computer will cause the "real-world" situation to play out instead of the simulation. As a result of the error actual defenses will be activated and real bombs will be dropped on the areas of the game and cause a tragic international incident. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;American Electoral College voting stalemate&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Century VII, Quatrain 41)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The presidents of the United States, a supposedly free country, have been abusing their power to an increasingly greater extent. During a time of social unrest even more so than the period of Vietnam and Watergate, the Electoral College will be evenly split over the election of the new president. The process will stalemate, with many people clamoring for whichever candidate they voted for, causing enormous tension in the country. Internationally it will be a sensitive situation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because of the split, and the extremely volatile and explosive social unrest, putting either candidate in office instead of the other could start a civil war or a revolution. After a long time of impassioned speeches invoking patriotism and the founding fathers, a compromise solution of holding another election will be taken, and a candidate will be installed without disaster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nostradamusonline.com/affiliates/click.php?refid=YR579iuSDZ"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right" src="http://www.nostradamusonline.com/images/book-web-3d.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;h2 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px"&gt;Want to find out what happens next?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the complete book, you will read about:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul class="news-list-sample"&gt;&lt;li&gt;A conflict between the US and Iran&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The next major terrorist attack on the US&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Osama, Obama, and "Mabus"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The nuclear destruction of Rome&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Many more details&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;hr style="CLEAR: both"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Purchase The Nostradamus Code &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height="31" src="http://www.nostradamusonline.com/images/get_adobe_reader.gif" width="88" align="right" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Book Download&lt;/strong&gt; is an Adobe PDF file that is completely identical to the original book in print.

Here are a few exerpts and the links you can go to to find out a lot more about this Religion/Cult and just more knowledge for the person who just wasn't aware of what these people do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="top" href="http://gawker.com/5002269/the-cruise-indoctrination-video-scientology-tried-to-suppress"&gt;The Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientology Tried To Suppress&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to watch this video. It shows &lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged TOM CRUISE" href="http://gawker.com/tag/tom-cruise/"&gt;Tom Cruise&lt;/a&gt;, with all the wide-eyed fervor that he brings to the promotion of a movie, making the argument for Scientology, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology"&gt;bizarre 20th-century religion&lt;/a&gt;. Making the argument is an understatement. The Hollywood actor, star of movies such as Mission Impossible, is a complete fanatic. "When you're a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you're the only one who can really help... We are the way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures." &lt;a href="http://gawker.com/5002216/we-are-the-way-to-happiness"&gt;There's much much more&lt;/a&gt;. Let me put it this way: if Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch was an 8 on the scale of scary, this is a 14.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UFBZ_uAbxS0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UFBZ_uAbxS0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a Scientology film called Tom Cruise: Scientologist, where Tom Cruise directs his trademark brand of crazy-eyed, oversincere, babbling enthusiasm at Scientology itself for the benefit of other Scientologists around the world. And, by crap, we'll be buggered if it doesn't make any sense at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This video's been passed around privately by reporters and writers investigating Cruise's ties with Scientology. Most reporters have been wary of taking on the Scientologists, because they have a history of both litigation, and the harassment of critics. The publication of Andrew Morton's biography of Tom Cruise, which claims he is the second most powerful person in the cult, has seems to have opened the floodgates. Several indoctrination videos were available on Google Video, on Sunday, and &lt;a href="http://gawker.com/5002216/we-are-the-way-to-happiness"&gt;showcased on Gawker&lt;/a&gt;, before being removed by the person who had originally posted them. Yesterday, for a few hours, the clip of Tom Cruise discussing his beliefs as a Scientologist appeared on Youtube, and was republished by &lt;a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2008/01/-we-are-the-way.php"&gt;Radar&lt;/a&gt; and Defamer. That video is no longer available, most likely after the Church of Scientology sent in a copyright infringement notice.

As has long been known, pages 43b-45b&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;of the Codex are concerned with the synodic cycle of Mars. New&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;work reported here with another part of the Codex, a complex table&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;on pages 69-74, reveals a concern on the part of the ancient Maya&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;astronomers with the sidereal motion of Mars as well as with its&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;synodic cycle. Two kinds of empiric sidereal intervals of Mars&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;were used, a long one (702 days) that included a retrograde loop&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;and a short one that did not. The use of these intervals, which&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;is indicated by the documents in the Dresden Codex, permitted&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;the tracking of Mars across the zodiac and the relating of its&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;movements to the terrestrial seasons and to the 260-day sacred&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;calendar. While Kepler solved the sidereal problem of Mars by&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;proposing an elliptical heliocentric orbit, anonymous but equally&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;ingenious Maya astronomers discovered a pair of time cycles that&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;not only accurately described the planet's motion, but also related&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;it to other cosmic and terrestrial&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;concerns. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;The Dresden Codex is found, complete, here: &lt;a href="http://www.famsi.org/mayawriting/codices/dresden.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(126, 43, 7);"&gt;http://www.famsi.org/mayawriting/codices/dresden.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; .

Were they chivalrous and gallant caretakers of their peasants? Or were they vicious and cruel thugs who ruled their people with an iron hand?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer to that question is both! But I don’t mean at the same time. Medieval Knights changed over the course of centuries and this change was more than just in their combat techniques, tactics, weapons and armor. They also changed in their attitudes of how they handled their people and how they approached forming and maintaining their lands and kingdoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://thetemplarblog.blogspot.com"&gt;The Early Knights&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The period we consider to be the Dark Ages, which started in the 5th century with the fall of Rome, was a very dark time for all of Europe. And it was also a very dark time for the reputation of the Knight. Most of Europe was fragmented into pieces. Trade and prosperity came to a halt, plague hit the continent, and many invading armies came from both the north and the south. To make matters worse, all of Europe was fighting within itself. Small kingdoms were pitted against each other in constant war that lasted for centuries. This overall environment of difficulty, war, and poverty was the breeding ground for Knights that were cruel and unjust. It was a symptom of the times that the only code of the Knight was the code of force. Force was the way that most of the continent acted. It was the predominant way someone could gain and control power, land, wealth and people. Knights from these early centuries were probably very barbaric and bad by today’s standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://thetemplarblog.blogspot.com"&gt;The Rise of Christianity&lt;a/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 10th through 12th centuries the behavior of Knights began to change. The Catholic Church was rising in power and it was exerting its power and its tenets over people. In the early centuries many Knights, kings and lords joined with the rising power of the church with their own agendas in mind, but the tenets of the religion in as far as treating people better began to make a foothold into the continent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Launching of the Crusades&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1095 the first crusades were launched. This marked the end of the Dark Ages and the beginning of a new period of Medieval Europe. It began the process of bringing all of Europe together under one leadership. This brought to an end the centuries long warring between small lordships in Europe and this allowed the re-establishment of trade and the return of peace to the continent. It also firmly established the culture and beliefs of the Catholic Church into the social structure of the land. These beliefs included many things including the concepts of killing as a bad thing and that a person of privilege should treat the poor with dignity. Following the religion of Christianity became the most important aspect of a Knight’s life and it is in these later centuries of the Middle Ages when Knights began to change and become more chivalric and good by today’s standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can never really know for certain exactly how things were a thousand years ago. Every Knight was surely different, and to know whether a Knight was villainous or chivalric we would have to look at each one individually. But we do know that the early centuries of the Middle Ages were a difficult and barbaric time and Knights were probably likewise barbaric. And we do know that over the centuries the continent of Europe was transformed into a peaceful place with a religion to live by. And Knights followed this religion. Over these centuries chivalry and a code of conduct slowly evolved and took root in the culture of Europe, and the code of conduct of the Knight. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1154368030416478791-2921579076657858709?l=ss-religion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/feeds/2921579076657858709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1154368030416478791&amp;postID=2921579076657858709' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/2921579076657858709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/2921579076657858709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/2008/04/were-medieval-knights-good-or-bad.html' title='&lt;a href=&quot;http://thetemplarblog.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;Were Medieval Knights Good or Bad?&lt;/a&gt;'/><author><name>SSinvestor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UEBkE5daHO0/TF8_7bMVpYI/AAAAAAAAFLY/-kghlpcEenw/S220/svein+new+glasses.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154368030416478791.post-2749772131920596843</id><published>2007-08-27T21:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-27T21:44:47.416-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Drinking'/><title type='text'>SOCIAL DRINKING</title><content type='html'>General Executive Conference, April 1983&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Social drinking in the Christian community is a major concern of many Church leaders. The vibrant stand in condemnation of the drinking of alcoholic beverages of a few years ago is completely gone in certain quarters. In fact, it is "fashionable" in some Christian circles to have wine or beer with dinner. The question is, "What about social drinking and the Christian?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Social drinking has been defined as: a glass of wine to enhance a meal, a drink or two while having fun, sipping and eating, using alcohol as a beverage, drinking while talking with friends, and knowing when to say "when." In this paper, we shall consider the physical, social and Biblical aspects of the issue. Also, in the conclusion we will emphasize important principles and our final statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Physical Aspect&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The human body is made up of millions of tiny cells of different types. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;'*'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each cell is alive and has a job to do in combination with other cells. Living cells use nutrients—food—from which energy or work is gained. A group of cells of one type is called a tissue, for example, nerve tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue. Different kinds of tissue have different special jobs and uses. Each kind can be disturbed in its work by many happenings, for example, by lack of the right kind of food, or by exposure to great heat or cold. A group of tissues may be combined in certain ways to make up an organ, as the heart or the liver. The human body is very efficient because its different tissues and organs work together, in a systematic way. to do special jobs. Each organ depends on the work of the others. If one of them is damaged or disordered, the others will suffer. What then is the effect of alcohol on the organs of the body?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;* IF THE CELLS, TISSUES AND ORGANS ARE AFFECTED BY OR DISORDERED BY ANYTHING THE REST WILL ALSO SUFFER...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important effect is on the brain. When a man drinks an alcoholic beverage, the alcohol passes into his blood stream, mainly through the walls of his small intestine. The circulating blood brings the alcohol to the brain as well as to all the organs and tissues. A small proportion of alcohol acts directly on the brain and is enough to interfere with the work of the highest brain cells. Judgment and restraint are the first functions of the brain to be affected. The drinkers' ability to think and make decisions becomes impaired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As more alcohol is consumed. other organs are affected and the following stages of impairment are noticed: poor muscle control. slurred speech,legs wobbling and eventually stupor and coma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effect of alcohol on the liver is now widely known and cirrhosis of the liver is a leading cause of death in the United States. Eighteen per 100.000 die from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In "Alcohol and You" ( These Times. February 1975). Penny Wheeler gives the following information: alcohol destroys brain cells and impairs intellectual functions. It has a toxic effect on the heart and causes irreparable damage to the heart muscle. In time, it precipitates total degeneration of the liver, intestines, lungs. pancreas, endocrine glands, sex glands, and bone tissue. It causes polyineuritis or inflammation of the nerves, and it leaves the body susceptible to infectious disease by decreasing the production of both white and red blood cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Alcohol, even moderation, speeds up the destruction of nerve cells and initiates senility earlier in the life of any drinking man—or woman," says Dr. Melvin H. Knisely, head of a South Carolina research team. "Alcohol," Dr. Knisely explains, "forms an adhesive substance in the blood cells which cuts off blood cells from their oxygen supply. The trapped cells eventually die, affecting the heart, liver and brain. As more nerve cells are destroyed, senility sets in. There is no such thing as an innocent cocktail." Dr. Knisely himself has given up alcohol as a result of his findings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What should all this mean to millions who are moderate or social drinkers? The cells they lose are irreplaceable. The only difference between this loss of brain cells and that of the heavy drinker is one of degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Conclusion, some Biblical references of the effects of alcohol on the body are: Leviticus 10:8-11 (alcohol confuses right and wrong); Judges 13:2-14,24 (alcohol is a life-germ poison and tends to affect the unborn child), Proverbs 31:1-5 (alcohol causes loss of memory, impairs judgment), and Ezekiel 44:21 (alcohol causes loss of reverence and respect). &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"THESE ARE IMPORTANT VERSES"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social Aspect&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In consideration of the social aspect of drinking alcoholic beverages, we have to consider first the social reasons given for consuming such beverages. The main reasons given are that it provides relaxation and enjoyment, and allows social relationships to be less formal with friends. A Christian deciding on whether to partake of alcohol or not must, in the above context, weigh some social facts about the use of alcohol as well as some statements which the Scriptures make that relate to alcohol in society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, some social facts:&lt;br /&gt;- Upward of 50 percent of violent crimes are alcohol-related.&lt;br /&gt;- A very high percentage of divorces is alcohol-related.&lt;br /&gt;- One-third of all Canadian drownings involves alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;- Thirty percent of all male admissions to the Waterford Hospital (the provincial&lt;br /&gt;institute for mental disorders) is for alcoholism.&lt;br /&gt;- Half of all traffic fatalities, and one-third of all injuries are alcohol-related.&lt;br /&gt;- More than one-third of suicides involves alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a workshop given in the Central Newfoundland area in February 1980, the Gander R.C.M.P. gave the following statistics. Alcohol resulted in:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;61% of murder crimes&lt;br /&gt;30% of suicides&lt;br /&gt;34% of rapes&lt;br /&gt;60% of child abuse&lt;br /&gt;29% of other sex crimes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question a Christian has to ask in the light of the above facts is whether his social drinking associates him with the use of an item which causes such heartache and trouble in our society today. Philippians 2:4 says, "Look not every man on his own things. but every man also on the things of others." By drinking alcoholic beverages, aren't Christians adding to the coffers of companies which sell a product whose excesses cause much trouble? How does the believers' drinking affect his neighbour? Romans 14:21 says, "It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak." If the believer ignores such a statement, is he showing the love that is required to be shown among the "disciples"? (John 13:35)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second part of the social question is to consider what the Scriptures actually say about the social aspect of alcohol. First Corinthians 5:11 specifically states that Christians are not to keep company with a man who calls himself a brother and is a drunkard. First Corinthians 6:10 and Galatians 5:21 state that drunkards shall not go to heaven. but shall be thrown together with those who practice other evils of the flesh. In Ephesians 5:18. we are told not to be drunk with wine but to be filled with the Spirit. Other social effects are also listed in the Old Testament, egs., Proverbs 23:29-32; 23:21; 21:17. It appears in Scripture that those who had responsibility for making decisions were to refrain from alcohol, ea., priests were to refrain (Leviticus 10:8.9); rulers were to refrain lest their judgments were affected (Proverbs 31:4-5); and bishops and deacons in the Church were not to be given wine (I Timothy 3:2-8).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The final question the Christian faces is whether or not the small social drink associates him with the excessive alcohol consumer inferred in the above. Can the Christian walk the narrow line dividing him from the heavy drinker? Or, shouldn't he consider I Corinthians 6:12, "All things are lawful unto me. but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." Rather than trying to walk the thin line, isn't total abstinence the safest policy Again, 1 Corinthians 10:31 '*' [NO POWER OTHER THAN GOD] "Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do. do all to the glory of God."  In this violent and strife-torn society, can a person, by his social drinking, really praise God and bring glory to Him while there is such trouble and heartache being caused by the same product he is imbibing? On the other hand, by totally abstaining. The believer would be protesting against the abuse of alcohol in our society today. Also, a person who abstains will never have the worry or fear of becoming an alcoholic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relaxation. enjoyment and happiness for the Christian should not have to be found in a bottle. It should be found in the Person of Jesus Christ; To the unbeliever, alcohol is a crutch, a crutch which the believer does not need. Psalm 16:11 says, "...in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." Philippians 4:7 says, "...the peace of God. Which passeth all understanding. shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Our pleasures should be Spirit-directed and helpful, not harmful and selfish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Biblical Aspect&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 637 references to drink and drinking in the Bible, some with warnings, others with commendations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 13 different words which are translated "wine." We will look briefly at five of these words, three in the Old Testament, and two in the New Testament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Old Testament&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Yain (Yayin) 140 times—to squeeze or press, a general term for fruit beverages like our word "drink." A common drink (Genesis 14:18); as a drink offering. (Leviticus 23:13): intoxicating (Genesis 9:21); figuratively used of wisdom (Proverbs 9:2,5): of wrath (Jeremiah 25:15); of love (Song of Solomon 1:2; 4:10) (Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary).&lt;br /&gt;Does refer to fermented wine (Horton).&lt;br /&gt;In most of the passages in the Bible where yayin is used (83/ 138), it certainly means fermented grape juice (Unger's Bible Dictionary).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Tirosh 32 times associated with wheat, corn, oil, flock blessings. And signifies something. to be eaten or gathered, not liquid; evidently vine-fruit, fresh or preserved, always commended (Palmer).&lt;br /&gt;- fresh grape juice (Morris. Horton).&lt;br /&gt;- fresh or sweet wine: approved (Genesis 27:28; Judges 9:13; II Kings 18:32: Zechariah 9:17).&lt;br /&gt;- Disapproval (Hosea 4:1) (Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary).&lt;br /&gt;- wine that was not fully aged (although with intoxicating properties)&lt;br /&gt;(Judges 9:13: Hosea 4:11; cf. Acts 2:13), or wine when considered specifically as the product of grapes (Deuteronomy 12:17; 18:4) (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia).&lt;br /&gt;- the freshly-pressed juice of the grape. May be intoxicating (Unger).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Shekar 42 times any drink from sources other than grapes; connected with woes. sorrows, warnings—condemned, prohibited, warned against (Palmer).&lt;br /&gt;- various fermented beverages, especially beer. which was the common beverage of the Philistines (Horton).&lt;br /&gt;- appears to mean "intoxicating drink" of any sort (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Testament&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Oinos&lt;br /&gt;- (Hebrew Yain) is used for both yain (general) and tirosh (vine-fruit), but not shekar (Palmer).&lt;br /&gt;- means either the fresh "fruit of the vine" or its decay product, as the context may require (Morris).&lt;br /&gt;- used of both wine and grape juice (meaning determined by the context) (Horton).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Gleukos&lt;br /&gt;- "Sweet," "new wine" which seems to have been of an intoxicating nature (Acts 2:13) (Unger).&lt;br /&gt;- "sweet," "new wine" (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia).&lt;br /&gt;- freshly squeezed and hence unfermented grape juice (Morris).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The context, or history. indicates whether the "wine" spoken of was new (freshly squeezed) or old (fermented). The account of the Last Supper from the Gospels Matthew. Mark and Luke does not use the word "wine" but rather, "...he took the cup....fruit of the vine" (Matthew 26:27-29). The vine does not produce alcohol. Alcohol is a result of decay. The apostle Paul was the forerunner of the therapeutic value of fresh fruit juices for digestion and general health (I Timothy 5:23).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bible condemns the use of alcoholic beverages and exposes the sin of strong drink. Morris points out the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wise individuals abstain (Proverbs 20:1).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drunkenness leads to poverty (Proverbs 21:17: 23:21).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drink causes sorrow, strife, gossip. heartache and redness of eyes (Proverbs 23:29,30).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drink, although attractive, is deceiving, harmful and invokes impure thoughts&lt;br /&gt;(Proverbs 23:31-33).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strong drink is habit-forming (Proverbs 23:35).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drink may cause others to stumble (Romans 14:21).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drunkenness is condemnded by God (Isaiah 5:22; Galatians 5:21).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should he noted that the wine of the New Testament is not identical to wine used today. In reality, today's wine is, in comparison to a Biblical understanding, "strong drink." This is because it is artificial fermentation, as opposed to natural fermentation, where the alcoholic content is much higher. It has been shown that in New Testament times, one would need to drink 22 glasses of wine in order to consume the large amount of alcohol in two martinis today. Norman Geisler says, "Therefore Christians ought not drink wine, beer or other alcoholic beverages for they are actually 'strong drink' and are forbidden in Scriptures."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christians are very special people in every community, with extra special responsibilities toward both God and man. As spiritual individuals, important Scriptural principles govern the whole of life. Therefore, the drinking of alcoholic beverages must be considered in the light of these principles. Included in the following list are principles from the General Presbytery of the Assemblies of God:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We live with a Christian responsibility based on love and concern for God and others.&lt;br /&gt;— From what we have seen in this paper, we conclude that drinking is part of&lt;br /&gt;life-style that leads society in general away from the values Christianity holds as important, Surely, we can live, relax and have fun without alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;- The Christian, by virtue of the Lordship of Christ, is willing to deny himself of things that might even be permissible apart from things questionable (1 Corinthians 6:12).&lt;br /&gt;- The Bible warns against the consumption of intoxicating beverages (Proverbs 23:31,32; 20:1).&lt;br /&gt;— Scripture indicates that consumption of intoxicating beverages impairs human judgment (Proverbs 23:35).&lt;br /&gt;— Believers have an obligation to live in such a way that their influence on others will not encourage a weaker brother to follow a destructive path (Romans 14:7).&lt;br /&gt;-  Believers are not to trifle with that which might bring them under its power (1 Corinthians 6:12). When a person comes under the power of anything other than the control of Christ, he has rejected the Lordship of Christ.&lt;br /&gt;-   Believers are to abstain from all appearances of evil (I Thessalonians 5:22).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The weight of Scriptures very clearly warns against consuming Of alcoholic beverages. There are far more passages warning of t he evils of drinking than supporting moderation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;MISUSE: ANY USE CAN BE MISUSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christians are urged to do all to the glory of God (I Corinthians 10:31).&lt;br /&gt;When we survey the havoc wrought through alcoholic beverages, it becomes clear that we cannot consume intoxicating beverages even moderately and do it to the glory of God. Any practice that abuses the human body is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our concern for society must begin with individual believers and extend to society at large. We must consider drinking a moral and spiritual problem. Therefore, a powerful personal example and a united position are important for us as a fellowship of believers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The principles of Scripture, when applied to our situation and culture, indicate that voluntary abstinence is the only safe and wise course for God's people to follow.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1154368030416478791-2749772131920596843?l=ss-religion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/feeds/2749772131920596843/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1154368030416478791&amp;postID=2749772131920596843' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/2749772131920596843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1154368030416478791/posts/default/2749772131920596843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ss-religion.blogspot.com/2007/08/social-drinking.html' title='SOCIAL DRINKING'/><author><name>SSinvestor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UEBkE5daHO0/TF8_7bMVpYI/AAAAAAAAFLY/-kghlpcEenw/S220/svein+new+glasses.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
