but, but, but what of the laws of Leticus? A lot of people must be killed order to comply with these holy laws. If you see somebody in a cotton/polyester attire, you must kill them. Gays are all doomed - especially the one who work on Sundays.

acceptance

Malachi 1-10

Who [is there] even among you that would shut the doors [for nought]? neither do ye kindle [fire] on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed:

John 3:18

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
And this is the difference between Christianity and Paganism that we've been trying to explain to Grace.

Pagans aren't going around saying "If you don't believe in our Gods then you're condemned for eternity."

Christians are - it says so in their book.

Of course, there's also the fact that various Christian denominations can't even agree amongst themselves exactly what their book says, and yet they expect everyone else to believe in their book.

CNN: Shrimp's high cholesterol may not be so bad

Quote:
Even though shrimp is low in fat, many doctors tell their patients to avoid it because it's high in cholesterol. The typical serving of shrimp has two-thirds the amount of cholesterol you should consume in an entire day.

Well, shrimp lovers take heart. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says despite all that cholesterol shrimp is perfectly good for you.

For more than two months, researchers at Rockefeller University in New York and Harvard tested several different types of low fat diets on 18 people with normal cholesterol levels, including a diet containing more than half a pound of steamed shrimp a day.

The scientists found the shrimp diet did not raise participants' overall cholesterol levels. They're not sure why, however, the scientists say perhaps it's because shrimp is low in fat and contains fish oils that are good for your heart.
Note that this doesn't apply if you drown the shrimp in butter...

Thanks. I really don't eat that much anyway. On my second job, I see it being used in pasta anyway when it is cooked to order for the guys and gals in the pressbox dining room. The chef himself last night cooked his own meal of shrimp fried rice, using raw jumbo shrimp.

So what? I cant apoligize for the truth Christ has brought us. Your problem is with him who said it, not me who as a servent believe it. If it were up to me, we would all get a free ride to eternity, but it isnt.

Brought you, not us. Your god, your rules. This is what you fail to "get" when it comes to religion.

And if it were up to me, your heart wouldn't be fed to Ammut. But it isn't.

That was sarcasm, by the way. Just so you know. And since I know you won't get the reference - since it's a religious one that doesn't come from your book - here's a link.

If you feel like relieving some of your ignorance, have fun.
