What they're saying is essentially, "It works for me, why shouldn't it work
for you?" Unfortunately, thinking people have realized that there isn't
an

Yes, it is, and that's one reason why non-religionists have such a tough
row to hoe, so to speak. We have to deal with life on realistic terms and
it can be a hard thing to admit that shit happens and no invisible god is
going to fix it.

Bullshit. "God" was not kicked out of schools (an omnipotent being who
was forced to leave some place? Not very omnipotent or omnipresent, is he?).
State-mandated prayer was seen rightly as being unconstitutional. Students
are still free to pray all they like, but they are not led by a member of
the faculty and there is no coercion for them to pray.

AM> find it difficult to fill out a application. Math and science skills

You are trying the old saw of linking increasing American inaptitude in
school with a lack of state-mandated school prayer. This is ridiculous,
Andrew. The Japanese don't grovel before your god, and yet their schools
regularly turn out students who are better-educated than ours. Admit it:
It isn't that "God" was "thrown out" of our schools. It's the simple fact
that our educational system's standards have dropped and our students are,
often times, too lazy to do the work that would put them ahead.

AM> even make the papers anymore. There are more unwed mothers than ever.
AM> And no wonder. Sexual promiscuity at younger ages is on the rise.

Psst. Andrew. Before what we refer to as the "Modern Age" came into being,
*everybody* was having sex at "younger ages." Reason? Because people didn't
live very long back then and it was to their advantage to get started
on having kids as soon as possible.

AM> Many, half hour sitcoms, are laced with sexual innuendo. Pornograhy
AM> is a billion dollar cottage industry. You can't go to a convience

Get off it, Andrew. By the standards you've laid down, the Bible is one
of the most pornographic documents ever written. It's chock full of
sex, incest, rape, violence, murder, and torture.

AM> Consequently sexually communicable diseases are also on the rise. And

Did you ever stop to think that a lot of this is due to the fact that there
are more people now than there were centuries ago?

Tell me why innocent children have to die as "consequences" to not groveling

of proportions almost unimaginable to the human mind.

The above are not grounds for an investigation, they ARE THE

How do you think the situation should have been dealt with?
Do you really think that sending them a postcard asking them
to please stop would have worked?

And please try to reply without informing me YET AGAIN that
the only daily newspaper in Austin has the largest daily

Just guessing... (but sometimes you have to say something incorrect
just to prompt someone to correct you with the right answer. Every
one loves to correct others.)

That would be the ZoneGate address for Zone Zero if such a zone
existed. Do you (or your sysop) have Zone One defined as the
default zone?

It's no wonder that it was the middle word that confused her.
The above isn't "real" latin, but rather an advertising slogan
used by a manufacturer of industrial abrassives. Their name is
Corborundum.

I loved how they had "specialized" moderators. Not only did
they have a "Science Moderator" (I've no idea what his function
was... maybe to keep scientifically accurate states out of the
echo), but they also had an "Alien Science Moderator".

But you're right... they had no one to moderate except each other.

I'd love to see them slam the door shut on the gated Internet
material, but they seem to think it's some sort of benefit.

It's like walking into someone's living room for quiet conversation
but first turning on the TeeVee, stereo, garbage disposal, blender
and dishwasher while playing bagpipes and lighting off six foot
strings of chinese firecrackers.

Some dialog may be possible under such conditions, but I don't think
it adds anything to the exchange.

I'm not about to. It would result in an "Off With Their Head"
banishment. (Two to four weeks later, in typical Stocks
fashion.)

I had always assumed that IF the song was about anyone, it
was about John Lennon. Taken in light of Glenda's 
"revelation" it seems OK for John to make that statement 
because he WAS Jesus Christ.

You're in Nashville, home of WWCR (who just put a fourth transmitter

The KJV translators translated the Apocrypha. And published it.

You'll have to blame the "Bible Societies" of the last century
if you want to point a finger at someone. They were the one's
who decided to exclude it from the Bibles they printed and
distributed.

The Bible in the format we are now familiar with is less
than 200 years old. (The KJV was translated almost 400 years
ago.)

We've already had him in here. He's a little prig who doesn't

Citizens Internet Empowerment CoalitionLitigation Fact Sheet
March 1996

In response to the indecency restrictions imposed on the Internet
by the Communications Decency Act (CDA), the Citizens Internet Empowerment
Coalition has been formed to challenge the law as violative of the First
Amendment.

The Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition (CIEC)  is a large and
diverse group of organizations who share the common goal of protecting the
First Amendment and the viability of the Internet in the 21st century. 
Its
35 organizational members include libraries, book publishers, newspaper
publishers, editors, advertisers, commercial online service providers,
Internet access providers, non-profit groups, and civil liberties
advocates.  Over 10,000 individual Internet users have also joined the CIEC
effort. The CIEC is coordinated by the Center for Democracy and Technology,
America Online, and the American Library Association.

The primary goal of the coalition lawsuit is to establish in
constitutional jurisprudence that the Internet is a unique communications
medium, deserving unique First Amendment protection -- that it is unlike
the broadcast medium and, should receive at least the same broad protection
afforded to the print media.  Coalition members believe that children can
be protected from inappropriate material online with the help of blocking
and filtering technology now available.  Parents, not the United States
Government, are the best and most appropriate judges of what material is
appropriate for themselves and their children.

The Coalition law suit, ALA v. United States Department of Justice
et al.  was filed on February 26, with a Preliminary Injunction Motion
filed later on March 1.  The suit,  handled by Bruce Ennis of  the law firm
of Jenner and Block in Washington D.C. , has been consolidated with one
filed earlier by the ACLU challenging the CDA. A three-judge court convened
by the Federal Third Circuit Court of Appeal in Philadelphia will hear
evidence in the consolidated case through the middle of April, with a
decision expected soon after. The case will then go directly to the United
States Supreme Court.

Educating The Court On The Nature Of The Internet And Alternatives To
Censorship

CIEC's complaint and memorandum in support of motion for
preliminary injunction detail the history of the Internet and outlines how
the network operates.  The CIEC intends to educate the court on how the
Internet functions and why the broad content regulations imposed by the
CDA
threaten the very existence of the Internet as a viable medium for free
expression, education, and commerce.  Among other things, the CIEC
challenge argues that:

*       The Internet is a unique communications medium which deserves First
Amendment protections at least as broad as those afforded to print media.

*       In light of the unique nature of the Internet, the CDA's effort
to
graft old dial-a-porn regulations onto the Internet amounts to a total ban
on a vast amount of constitutionally protected speech between adults.

*       The CDA will be ineffective at protecting children from "indecent"
or   "patently" offensive material on the "world-wide" web. The net is
global.

*       Individual users and parents, not the Federal Government, should
determine for themselves and their children what material comes into their
homes based on their own tastes and values.  Easy to use and effective
blocking software and services are readily available for this purpose.

The full text of the CIEC complaint, along with other relevant background
information, and information on how you can participate in this landmark
case, can be found on the CIEC World Wide Web Page at


Impact of the Communications Decency Act

Liability under the Communications Decency Act (CDA) extends from
commercial and non-commercial content providers, web site operators,
libraries, universities, and online service providers who host or provide
material which violates the indecency ban.  Although this case involves
a
ban on indecent communication on the Internet, the way the Supreme Court
resolves that issue will effectively resolve the constitutionality of a
later ban on offensive, violent, hateful or otherwise unwanted
communications online.  In order to assure that Internet can continue to
be
a forum for the free exchange of valuable information and ideas, free from
onerous and chilling censorship, we are challenging the indecency
restrictions contained in the Communications Decency Act.


Relationship with Other CDA Challenges

The CIEC challenge is separate from the case brought by the ACLU,
EFF, EPIC, Planned Parenthood, and several other plaintiffs in the same
Philadelphia court on February 8, 1996.  CIEC is working closely with ACLU
attorneys and the two cases have recently been consolidated.  The CIEC case
will reinforce the ACLU's efforts while focusing on the unique nature of
the Internet and alternatives to government content regulations.

Membership in the Coalition

The Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition is a large and diverse
group of Internet users, businesses, non-profit groups, and civil liberties
advocates who share the common goals of protecting the First Amendment and
the viability of the Internet as a means of free expression, education,
and
commerce.

The fact is, they *are*.

Look at the anti abortion murders and assaults.

Look at the fact that rape is highest in the Bible belt.

And why would an omnipotent god send one man, or go down as one man, not
enabling the rest of the world to benefit from a messiah of their own
culture?

Why only one way? As a teacher and enforcer of rules, I find most
success in maintaining constructive, positive behavior by permitting
multiple choices. Particularly when I'm dealing with someone I need to
stop doing something. An example would be the choices I give children
when they're finished with their work.

But you can only come home via one road. Even though a map shows that
many roads lead home according to the map. He also says that I have to
lobotomize myself and be a submissive wife to some man in order to make
it to him. And believe in idiotic things which defy logic.

Since that human father forced me to go live in that rat infested
apartment in the first place, I see no reason to go back to him.
Particularly since he allowed a book to be published in his name
indicating that I'm less of a person than my husband.

Two thousand years later, that book would not be enough, correct. Even

whatever group decided the Epistles of Paul were suitable for a holy

They agreed they saw him after he was SUPPOSED to have died. Now if
people agreed they saw Nicole Simpson today, I'd believe we had a
resurrection on our hands. I'd think we were hoodwinked, first. You see,

Yet there is no proof he REALLY died. Or that it was REALLY him after

They would be wise not to consider it factual. Or use it as evidence of

Josephus's accounts are demonstrably fraudulent.

They had no vested interest in making sure it was absolutely secure,
either.

Actually, they would find some, tucked away in the back woods.

Hi Dan.
I was just browsing, and found you spewing the same (give me
evidence line) to Jim.  Can you not come up with something a
little better?  You have not shown one piece of evidence to
prove that God does not exist.  We have a book full of God's
promises, that come true even today.  Yet you can not prove that
these promises are not coming true. 
Dan are you afraid to open a bible and read the truth?  Have you
lived in the darkness so long that it scares you to look at the
light?

Matthew 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full
of [darkness].  If therefore the light that is in thee be
[darkness], how great  that [darkness]! 

Pray Dan Pray, for guidence!

Hi Martin.
I can't say I have meet satan in person, but he calls my BBS
just about every week.  Or at least people claiming to be him.  You
know what though he never calls back.  Do you think he is afraid of
little old me?  I don't think he is, I do however believe he is
afraid of Jesus.  You see satan hydes from the light and is afraid
of him.
Luke 11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine
eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when  is evil, thy body also  full of [darkness]. 

John 1:5 And the light shineth in [darkness]; and the [darkness]
comprehended it not. 

Are you afraid of the light that shines for all the world to see,
Martin?

Hi Fredric.
Where on earth did you get such information?  Do you truly
believe what you wrote above?  It is man lead by satan that does
these crimes against man.  Please don't group me into some dream
world of yours, about christians.  There are many that claim to be
christains but are wolves in sheeps clothing.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening [wolves]. 

Matthew 10:16 Behold , I send you forth as sheep in the midst of
[wolves]: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 

Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous
[wolves] enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 

satan takes on many forms.  It is not hard for satan to appear as
the light.

Matthew 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  for
ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed [appear] beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead  bones, and of all
uncleanness. 

So don't group true christains with the likes of Hitler and others.
Brad

DK> Aw, c'mon, Karl, yer wreckin' my fun... 

Hi Dawn.
Does this mean you don't believe that there are angels?  Have
you read your bible lately?  I don't know if I can count the number
of times God sent his angels.  So I would think if God knows they
are around and they serve him, we can take it to be true.  For God's
word is true. You believe in Jesus don't you Dawn?

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory. 

This verse covers more then one topic for you Dawn.  One God One
Baptism and One Salvation.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

Look to your Lord and God Jesus Christ for all your answers.

Hi Steve.
What are these (Fundy Beliefs) you are talking about?  I myself
believe in Jesus Christ!  What about you Steve, what do you believe
in?
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall [confess] me before men, him
will I [confess] also before my Father which is in heaven. 

Are you afraid to confess our Lord Jesus Christ to Be God?  Are you
afraid your friends will make fun of you?  Well Don't be Steve you
can say the words.  Come on now Steve repeat after me, I love Jesus
he is my Lord and saviour.

If you would like I will post as much as I can about God to give you
some insight on the Love of Jesus.

Hi Kenneth.
Steve seems to be a lost soul.  I think it is a christains duty
to try and help the lost sheep.
Acts 13:47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, , I have set
thee to [be a light] of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
salvation unto the ends of the earth. 

So will you be a light for Steve to look to in the darkness he
lives? 
Jesus did not send us out to save the saved but to save the lost.

Luke 15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together  friends
and neighbours, saying unto them, [Rejoice] with me; for I have
found my sheep which was lost. 

John 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit
unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may
[rejoice] together. 

Be strong in the faith of Jesus Christ, our Lord and God.

Brad

Have you given the same chance to the Islamic faith?  Oh, 
sorry...they're obviously not as intelligent as you;)

Hi Dan.
Do you believe in the Islamic faith? I don't that is for sure. 
At least I don't go around telling other people that they are not 
intelligent, like you just did. How do you know how smart Michael is? Is

it because he believes in God, that you find him so smart? 
You too could be saved Dan. It does however take a little work 
on your side of the fence. But I am sure you can get the help you need.

Acts 2:36
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made

that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Acts 2:37
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said 
unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall

we do?
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in 
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive

the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:39
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are 
afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Acts 2:40
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save 
yourselves from this untoward generation.
Acts 2:41
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day

there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Acts 2:42
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship,

and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Now Dan if you will just follow the Apostles Doctrine you will be on 
your way to a good Christian life.

  I'm not trying to insult you, but I think you need to do
some serious thinking and figure out exactly what you do and don't
believe in.  I realize it may seem silly and useless, but until you do,
you are wide open for any con man who is able to make you belive what he
wants you too.

RM> Given the fact that the language that the Bible was written in made
no
RM> distinction between bats and birds (a fact noted in my previous post,
RM> but carefully Hectorized out of the part you quoted back), only a moron

JG> A common tactic when trying to take something out of context or twist
JG> it to mean something it wasn't intended to. Or if it shows the error
JG> of logic in their own replies.

NS> Actually, Rick was wrong here in that he said the language (sic)
NS> that the bible was written in made no distinction between bats and
NS> birds.

NS> In the bible there are the following terms for birds and bats:

NS> -------------------------------------------------------------------
NS> bat or bats   `atalleph [Hebrew]  {at-al-lafe'}
NS> bat or bats.
NS> -----------------------------

--------------------------------------
NS> bird or       tsippowr  [Hebrew]  {tsip-pore'}
NS> birds                       bird or birds.
NS> --------------------------------------------------------

So if this word was used, it could refer to both.
Also just because a different word was used, is it not possible
that they may have considered a bat just another species of bird,
like an owl or a pigeon or a duck.

NS>  `owph     [Hebrew]  {ofe}
NS> flying creatures, including insects,
NS> birds, and bats.

Again, denotes by using the same word for all, an inability or
at least a lack of categorization to differentiate them in
certain instances.

NS> --------------------------------------------------------
NS>  `ayit     [Hebrew]  {ah'-yit}
NS> bird of prey.
NS> --------------------------------------------------------
NS>   orneon    [Hebrew]  {or'-neh-on}
NS> bird or fowl.
NS> --------------------------------------------------------
NS>  ts@phar   [Aramaic] {tsef-ar'}
NS> fowl, bird, or like-birds.
NS> --------------------------------------------------------
NS>   peteinon  [Greek]
NS> flying or winged animals.
NS> --------------------------------------------------------
NS>   ptenon    [Greek]
NS> of winged animals.
NS> --------------------------------------------------------
NS> /\ ba`al     [Hebrew]  {bah'al}
NS> |              | owner, husband, adversary, master,
NS> |     with     | archers, babbler, mangiven, have, bird,
NS> |              | confederate, and captain.
NS> \/ kanaph    [Hebrew]  {kaw-nawf'}
NS> wing, skirt, borders, corners,ends,
NS> feathered, sort, and winged.
NS> Essentially: ba`al-kanaph (winged babbler, aka bird.)
NS> -------------------------------------------------------------------

NS> So the bible clearly does distinquish, when it wants to, between
NS> birds and bats.  Just not in the particular scripture that is being
NS> cited, I believe.  How is it that I, a non-Xtian, have a better
NS> grasp of your sacred text than either of you do?  You display your
NS> own errors.

While I admire your technical knowledge of the bible, the scribes and
pharisees were much more knowledgeable than even yourself, I am willing
to venture. But it was with this group of people that Jesus accused
of fulfilling the letter of the law while ignoring the spirit or
"true meaning" of those words.

You have only indicated that there are different references in terms of
the
appearance of the animal , not on whether it was still considered as being
a "type" of bird.
In fact by showing that a word stood for both bats and birds and insect,
you have shown a lack of distinction in terms of classification. SO a
bat may have just been considered a different kind of bird.
When did the "classification" of bird come into effect?

For me personal the "garden of eden" was more of a metaphor, even though
it was given a physical location. Once again the garden of eden had to
be a story that was handed down by "word of mouth" for many generations
until the written language came into being. So who is to say how much of
this information was meant metaphorically and how much was meant literally.

And do you really believe there was a fruit called "knowledge of good and
evil" ? Sounds pretty metaphoric to me.
Something along the lines of "Fruit of the spirit" , "Fruits of your labor"
etc.

So what is the "fruit" of the knowledge of good and evil ?
If Adam  chose to decide for himself what is good and evil, what
would the "fruit" of that decision be ?

No longer was man just another animal lead by instinct. Man recognized
himself as a sentient being. Man wondered where did this idea of right
and wrong come from ? Does a cat have an idea of right or wrong ?
Why do I consider it a "sin" to eat a fellow human being. Do other animals
have this "belief system" ? Where did it come from this "knowledge of good
and evil"....

This is the type of thinking I engage in when reading the old testament.
I don't automatically just take it literally.

I will often take out the middle of a quote to make it shorter and just

It is irrelevant what the dirt was in my opinion. AS noted in a later
message, I indicated that great men of god like David and Moses were
guilty of adultery and murder. All have sinned. Man is not a perfect
being. He is still undergoing the process of evolution. Now we are into
the spiritual evolution of man. Be patient, God isn't finished with us yet.

If "god" is a "spirit", as it says in the bible, then why can "satan" not
be a spirit as well ?
In fact Jesus said to his disciple Peter, "Get thee behind me Satan", when
Peter entreated him not to go to his death. But this was the will of god
and
anything that would go against that will, would be referred to as "satan".

So in the garden of eden, when Eve ate from the tree that God told them
not to, whatever it was that caused her to do so, could be considered
"satan".

try going back and reading her messages again. The implication is always

christians are thieves and liars.
And you ? I see you stoop to the debating tactics of calling people names
and making personal attacks. You think that by calling me a "spoiled child"
that it gives more credibility to your own message . I am not really
