So sick of people even mentioning that Obama 'claims to be a Christian'. He's about as far from being a Christian as Lucifer. This world has been turned upside down over the past few years, and even the previously astute Americans are rolling over...Disgusting, and it's quickly going to bring about the end of this once proud country. "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

"Almost 50 Percent of Millennial Christians Support Legalizing Marijuana" Sorry, but these are not Christians; they are 'professing christians'. Big difference...

Like I said above; the toads are really out today...

Prove it...If you can't, then you are merely an agnostic.

Isa 3:17, 24). The baldness of Elisha referred to here may be: 1) natural loss of hair; 2) a shaved head denoting his separation to the prophetic office; or more likely, 3) an epithet of scorn and contempt, Elijah not being literally bald. These youths were sarcastically taunting and insulting the Lord's prophet by telling him to repeat Elijah's translation (“go up”).2:24 pronounced a curse. Because these young people of about 20 years of age or older (the same term is used of Solomon in 1Ki 3:7) so despised the prophet of the Lord, Elisha...

Blowtorch doesn't want us to 'explain' anything. He just wants to rile the believers that are making comments here. Just like a petulant child, atheists and liberals (one and the same?) deal only with histrionics & emotions. They know no other; and they will be judged...
