Century Village unit criticized for spending $11,000 to alter elevator for Sabbath

Of course you are already in disbelief that old Jewish people are living in Florida and fighting over money. I was. Back in the day, it was simply Canadians for the winter and your common run-o-the-mill rednecks. I'm sure the Catskills can get old (and cold) after awhile.

How can it be done? Fact is, there is so much competition in the religious marketplace most people don't know where to begin. If life is getting you down or you simply can't understand your environment you are faced with a choice; Which religion is right for me? Do you need a religion right for you or a religion just for right now?

You too can realize the money making potential of a fire and brimstone Evangelical Ministry to maximize profits.

From ABC News:

'Nobody Goes to Hell': Minister Labeled a Heretic
One Minister Challenges the Idea of Hell and Loses His Congregation

No shit. This minister challenges the whole "Hellfire and Brimstone" story and gets booted from his church.

You may be a fundamentalist, from EvilBible.com:

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
 
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
 
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
 
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
 
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
 
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
 
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering.  And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
 
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
 
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers.  You consider that to be evidence that prayer works.  And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
 
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Snake handlers. What a test of faith.

"they often include not only the handling of poisonous snakes (usually copperheads and rattlesnakes) in their services, but also handling fire and drinking water laced with strychnine, arsenic, or some other poisonous substance. Some of their churches even handle scorpions. Several investigations have concluded that many congregants do indeed ingest poisoned water."

Richard Dawkins: Why There Almost Certainly Is No God

 My scientific colleagues have additional reasons to declare emergency. Ignorant and absolutist attacks on stem cell research are just the tip of an iceberg. What we have here is nothing less than a global assault on rationality, and the Enlightenment values that inspired the founding of this first and greatest of secular republics. Science education - and hence the whole future of science in this country - is under threat. Temporarily beaten back in a Pennsylvania court, the ‘breathtaking inanity’ (Judge John Jones’s immortal phrase) of ‘intelligent design’ continually flares up in local bush-fires. Dowsing them is a time-consuming but important responsibility, and scientists are finally being jolted out of their complacency. For years they quietly got on with their science, lamentably underestimating the creationists who, being neither competent nor interested in science, attended to the serious political business of subverting local school boards. Scientists, and intellectuals generally, are now waking up to the threat from the American Taliban.

I had long suspected this and I believe it's being confirmed. Christian Conservatives are being played by the administration.

Tucker Carlson interview with Chris Matthews:

CARLSON: It goes deeper than that though. The deep truth is that the elites in the Republican Party have pure contempt for the evangelicals who put their party in power. Everybody in...

MATTHEWS: How do you know that? How do you know that?

CARLSON: Because I know them. Because I grew up with them. Because I live with them. They live on my street. Because I live in Washington, and I know that everybody in our world has contempt for the evangelicals. And the evangelicals know that, and they're beginning to learn that their own leaders sort of look askance at them and don't share their values.

Saw this on a forum (I'm not kidding):

I recently gave my life to Christ and I am in the process of replacing some parts on my Harley that I dont feel are in line with my new found faith. Do any of you know a website where I can find some Christian harley parts? Specifically derby and points covers with crosses. I was looking for something more than a plain cross. Any help is appreciated.  

 

Yea, help would be appreciated. I guess buying a Christian Motorcycle should be your first purchase.

Is his first thought in celebrating his new-found "Life in Christ" motorcycle parts?
