I can't believe that Paul is dead!

This picture is cruel!
There is a FAKE INSTAGRAM on the web showing Paul McCartney in a crowd at a 2016 Grammy Party. This is cruel. A LIE. Hurtful to all of us fans around the world. Paul had actually died before this horrible picture was taken.

God on Trial: The Verdict

How to explain God to a kid

It is important not be confused. God did not create Jesus. Jesus is God, and he has always existed even before there was a world. He created Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, in his image. He is the Creator of the universe. The strangest truth is that Jesus, meaning God, is now also a man. God so loved the world that he made Jesus die on a cross in the Middle East. When he woke up on Easter he flew away. Today, he lives in Heaven with God.

You are still confused? Go ask your Dad.

Taking it to the Grave

Deceased Connecticut woman faces exhumation amid religious and racial issues. When Juliet Steer finally succumbed to lymphoma, her brother dutifully and loving carried our Juliet’s final wishes. She had been a devoted Christian in life but wanted to be buried in the Jewish manner, under the same traditions that Jesus had been buried with. She had even found a Jewish cemetery with an interfaith section separated by a road from the Jewish section that would accommodate those wishes. When she passed, her brother, Paul, arranged the ceremony and tearfully said good bye to a family member. Despite the cemetery’s 2009 policy on interfaith burials, one cemetery board member has taken issue with Juliet’s presence on the grounds. Maria Balaban has sued both Paul Steer and her own congregation on the grounds that Juliet had no ties to Judaism. Maria claims that Juliet’s burial violates the spirit of the board’s ruling, to allow persons of different faith with ties to Judaism and the nearby synagogue to be buried with their families. She contests that since no one in the congregation knew Juliet, she did not belong. However, the Steer family believes the real reason for the objection is because Juliet is black. Four other plots in the interfaith section have been reserved but have not seen Mrs. Balaban take similar legal action. The owners of those plots are white. The resulting controversy has divided the congregation. It is terribly sad that such petty arguments can befall a grieving family and that human bias, be it religious or racial can inflict so much emotional damage to the Steers even after Juliet’s death. As an Atheist, I believe Juliet was incorrect in her faith. But, I do respect her final wishes. Some things are best left undisturbed. This story from my friends at http://freethoughtblogs.com

Vatican Official announces 7 MORE deadly sins

Vatican Bishop Gianfranco Girotti

1. You are a sinner. Admit it.  When creating the earth and all, God set it up for you to be born in sin. He loved you so much that he made you a sinner even before you were born. So don't fight it. You were born in sin. Romans 3:23 

2.  Understand that you deserve death for your sin. Yikes! That's one hellofaway to treat a baby. But that's a basic Catholic tenant. Re: Romans 6:23

3.  While you may think there are only 7 deadly sins, lust, gluttony, avarice,  sloth, anger, envy and pride, not so. According to the Catholic News Agency, a Vatican official, Bishop Gianfranco Girotti announced there are 7 more MORTAL SINS, called "social sins." These were listed by the Bishop, as 

1. polluting

2. genetic engineering

3. being obscenely rich

4. drug dealing

5. abortion

6. pedophilia, and

7. social injustice

The Vatican official's list was formalized as

1. Bioethical" violations such as birth control

2. "Morally dubious" experiments such as stem cell research

       3. Drug abuse

       4. Polluting the environment

       

       5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor

       6. Excessive wealth 

       7. Creating poverty

Now that you know these additional MORTAL SINS you can probably make a list on the back of your hand of the ways you are now busted for one or more of these.

Howabout me? Let's do a quick little moral inventory of myself.

1. "Such as birth control." I definitely do not want to make more babies.

2. "Stem cell research," I've googled stem cell research, does that count?

3. "Drug abuse," guilty. I swallowed 6 grams of vitamin C recently when I thought I was coming down with a cold. Later regretted this sin.

4. "Polluting?" I drive a car.

5. "Widening the gap," you betcha. I'm one of the 99%.

6. "Excessive wealth," probably, considering I'm a U.S. citizen.

7. "Creating poverty," is something like number 6 I think. So, yes. It's a good thing I'm not a Catholic or I would be in real trouble.

Now, the rest of the story. Bishop Gianfranco Girotti is probably looking for a new job. After the media spread this news around the world, the Vatican News Agency said it was all a mistake and that this was not what the Bishop had intended to say. He really intended to say .....nothing.
