Have you investigated Gnostic Christianity?

The Gnostic wing of Christianity, if it can even be called that today, has quite a few differences to Christianity and Catholicism.

If the old Gnostic Christians were here, they would hardly recognize what has happened to the original Orthodox Catholic Church or it's various offshoots in Protestantism or Islam.

Actually, I have no intention on riding on Coney Island's newest rollercoaster when it opens in May. Since ground was only broken yesterday, that seems awfully fast for anything to be built.

"The three-car coaster will hold 27 people as it zooms along 2,233 feet of track at 55 miles per hour. It’ll reach its peak height at 115 feet before plummeting nearly straight to the ground and into a 100-foot vertical loop, then an 80-foot zero-g roll followed by a heartline dive and... [Read More]

Zoom in, zoom out, circle around and even look straight up at the sky!

If you click the button at the bottom of the page, you'll get a menu with the various stages of construction. I'll never fathom how those construction workers can manage to focus on their work that high in the air.

Christian. Would you teach your child to use a scapegoat at school?

If not, why do you give your child an example of you doing that immoral thing by planning to use Jesus as your scapegoat?

Is it moral for you to say to your child, do as I say and not as I plan to do?
