Unity Church cult
The Unity School of Christianity is recognized as a cult because it exhibits several cultic characteristics. One such characteristic is syncretism. Syncretism is the attempt to combine or reconcile differing beliefs, usually by taking the most attractive features from several sources and combining them into a something new. Unity has taken what some would call "the best qualities" of various religious view points and combined them into a new and more acceptable faith.
Unity Church claims to be Christian while denying the key of the Christian faith; denying that Jesus is God, denying His bodily resurrection, denying the reality of Hell and the Lake of Fire. You nor your church are Christian if you deny the deity of Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection. "Christ" of Unity Church is not Jesus Christ of the Bible. You can't make up a new religion and call it Christian when it is not Christian. There is nothing Christian about Unity Church. They deny the deity of Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection, so in reality they are ANTI-CHRIST, no different than Church of Satan except they pretend to be the good Anti-Christ while Church of Satan does not pretend to be good for anything.

Like HighFalutin pointed out, syncretism itself is in many religions to some extent and out of the world leading religions Christianity is the most guilty of it. http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/ Furthermore the only real proof of cult status provided by your source and your arguments is the syncretism. Where is the parasitism, inability to leave, use of force, and us verses the world behaviors most commonly attributed to cults? You've got nothing. 1

Read my reply to High Pollution, it would be the same reply I would give you, but since you are being a jerk here, you are banned. The following video debunks the claims you referenced in your encyclopedia link implying Christianity comes from pagan roots. The facts are not hard to find if researched, the link you provided is written by people who are either dishonest or lazy brained or both. You show that you are lazy brained by promoting garbage full of lies and distortions of facts. Watch the following video and see the real facts that are ignored by people who say Christianity comes from paganism. A cult is started by one person, a new form of religion with one person as the founder. Idiot, why do you always have to be so obnoxious and not try to learn anything? You come in here and obviously are ignoring the material I am presenting and you try to take over and dominate the discussion with your stupid comments which are void of any verification of facts by yourself, lazy brained idiot trying to take over with stupid comments like a punk. Read the posts I gave on all the points of unity including it's history and founder. Ask Demon Hunter if he has the ability to leave Unity Church......His mind is so twisted he can't even imagine not being in Unity Church. People leave Christian churches all the time......like you for instance, weren't you Catholic at some point, and you call that Christian, and did anybody try to twist your arm when you walked away? Were you brainwashed to stay Catholic? Look at how Demon Hunter tries to force things on my by threatening to send real demons to cause me trouble. Unity Church teaches that garbage as prayer against people who oppose their teaching. It's you who has nothing but a stupid glass of wine in your hand. Put down the wine and do some research. 1

Fartman, Unity Church is not Christian, it is a cult. I am doing this series as educational for people so they can see that Unity Church is not Christian, and the words they use which appear Christian are changed in meaning and in Unity Church those words are not Christian. "God", "Christ", "saved".......these words in Unity have completely different meanings than in Biblical Christianity which is the only true Christianity. If all you are going to do is your usual stupid smart aleck nonsense remarks trying to insult me, you will be banned........and I expect you to say something stupid in reply to me here, so I'll ban you most likely on your next post. If you don't say something stupid in your next post I will be surprised and not ban you. 3

Re: "Syncretism is the attempt to combine or reconcile differing beliefs, usually by taking the most attractive features from several sources and combining them into a something new." Didn't Christianity some/all of its stuff from Judaism and Paganism as well as other sources????? Of course it did. Therefore, Christianity is a cult, Jim Jones, er I mean, David Koresh, er I mean, Warren Jeffs, er I mean Street Corner Preacher. Not at all. Christianity started in Genesis 1:1, when God created the heavens and the Earth. Jesus Christ is God. The faith of God is from God, for God, and by God. We come to God through Jesus Christ, God in person who died for our sins. Naming a few cult leaders like Jones and Koresh is not speaking of Biblical faith. To say Christianity got some or all of it's stuff from Paganism is a lie. It's true that Christmas has pagan roots, and the Catholic church is full of pagan idols and practices, but that is not Biblical Christianity. I would say Catholicism is a cult started by Constantine with Popes set up to be the leaders after Constantine. That is not Christianity. This video shows the intellectual dishonesty and intellectual laziness of people who say Christianity is taken from Paganism. If you are going to go around saying where you think Christianity came from, you need to educate yourself on the stuff you are talking about. People make up all kinds of junk and sell it to suckers. Research the stuff yourself and see if they are telling you the truth. The video link above exposes a lot of the lies in people who say Christianity comes from paganism. Yes Christianity comes from Judaism as Jesus is a Jew and the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament who fulfilled I forget how many, I think something like 300 prophecies of the old Testament regarding the Messiah. Simple Definition of cult (Webster's) 1: a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous 2: a situation in which people admire and care about something or someone very much or too much 3: a small group of very devoted supporters or fans Jim Jones and David Koresh fit the definition. Unity Church fits the definition. Catholicism fits the definition though it has grown to be a world wide religion. Jesus Christ does not fit the definition. Now before you comment again, you need to view the video debunking the main modern proponent of the idea that Christianity and Judaism are blends of paganism. You need to learn to be more skeptical of things told to you by people who hate God. I am not trying to get people to follow me, I'm trying to get them to know God according to His word. David Koresh and Jim Jones had followers. I do not want followers, I want people to follow Jesus as He wants them to follow Him as God the Savior, who promises that if you continue in His word, you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. Cults trap people, make them slaves. Unity Church is a cult. Now, if you can't offer intelligent comments based on the facts and refrain from insulting me, you're going to be banned. I really would like to keep you in the conversation here, so please watch the video above and see how people twist the facts to say Christianity comes from Paganism. I make no defense of the idea that Catholicism is paganism through and through, but I do assert that Catholicism is not Biblical Christianity the same as Unity Church is not Biblical Christianity.......and I do think Catholicism is a cult though it has grown too large to fit the definition of a cult. 3

Struck a nerve, did I, Street Corner Preacher? So, you're saying thou shall not murder, or commit adultery came from the 10 commandments and wasn't around before Judaism, or Christianity and many other values that Christianity incorporates? C'mon, all of that was around long before these "religions" were thought of. So far you are the only opposing voice not banned. Your insult at the end of your post implying I am trying to start a cult is enough to get you banned, but I think you are the best hope of being reasonable to look at the point of the OP here showing Unity Church is not Christian and is a cult. If all you are going to do is attack Christianity and not look at the facts in the video I presented to debunk your attack method, then you will be banned. Watch the video please, and remember the OP here is about Unity Church, exposing it as a cult which is not Christian. 1

Here ya go, Eskimo; similar stories that predate JC, including walking of water, healing the sick and resurrection. You're welcome; it is my pleasure to educate you. No, you don't have to thank me, I like giving guidance to the misled. Charles Fillmore chose the ancient Egyptian winged disc, an occult symbol, as the symbol to represent Unity. Steeped in Hinduism, Fillmore felt that he had been associated with the symbol in previous lives. (He believed he was the reincarnation of the Apostle Paul!) A Unity video states that this symbol is a representation of the "Earth being lifted in consciousness." Unity Magazine says it is "a soul giving wings to the body." These are thoroughly pagan ideas. (Frank Yurco, an Egyptologist at the University of Chicago, says the "winged disc" symbol represents "a fear of demons and evil gods. ... It represents the sun-god, Ra, as he flees across the sky.") History The Unity School of Christianity began as a quest for physical healing by its co-founder, Mary Caroline Page, known as Myrtle, the wife of Charles Fillmore. Even before their marriage in March of 1881 Myrtle had already developed an eclectic theology. Charles had a background in Hinduism, Buddhism, Rosicrucianism, and Theosophy. [Also See Roots of Evil] They became students of metaphysics and after taking some forty or more courses Myrtle developed what was to become known as Practical Christianity. Myrtle became a practitioner of "mental healing." A spiritual breakthrough came for Myrtle in 1886 when she attended a meeting lead by Dr. E.B. Weeks, a noted metaphysician. Dr. Weeks made a statement that would change Myrtle's understanding of herself and set her on a new course of spiritual development. Myrtle was in a state of mental and physical illness and had come to a point where she was not helped by either medicine or physicians. Dr. Weeks's statement that day brought her the healing she sought. She cherished each word of the phrase "I am a child of God and therefore I do not inherit sickness." Myrtle believed that she had discovered a great "spiritual truth" regarding healing, i.e., by repeating this phrase as a positive affirmation she would be healed. She began to offer her services to others and soonQuimby developed a following of those seeking divine healing. The Fillmores were students of Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, a mental healer and metaphysician. Myrtle was also a follower of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, who was likewise influenced by Quimby. Unity, therefore, was birthed by the Fillmores, but its roots go back to directly to Mary Baker Eddy and both directly and indirectly to Phineas Quimby. According to Charles Fillmore the name Unity was adopted in 1895, denoting that Unity was devoted to the spiritualization of all humanity and took the best from all religions. He said the following regarding the eclectic belief system of Unity: We have studied many isms, many cults. People of every religion under the sun claim that we either belong to them or have borrowed the best part of our teaching from them. We have borrowed the best from all religions, that is the reason we are called Unity. . . . Unity is not a sect, not a separation of people into an exclusive group of know-it-alls. Unity is the Truth that is taught in all religions, simplified. . .so that anyone can understand and apply it. Students of Unity do not find it necessary to sever their church affiliations. Thus many Christians adopt Unity's teachings and bring those back into their churches, not identifying their "new" teachings as Unity's and thereby compromising the doctrinal integrity of the church. Unity Doctrine and Theology God God is not a personality but a spiritual energy "force" or principle of love. Charles Fillmore in his book, Jesus Christ Heals, says that "God is not loving. God is love . . . from which is drawn forth all feeling, sympathy, emotion, and all that goes to make up the joys of existence." Fillmore goes on to say, "God does not love anybody or anything. God is the love in everybody and everything. God exercises none of His attributes except through the inner consciousness of the universe and man." In other words, God is not a personal being but an energy or force that expresses itself as a pantheistic love that permeates all things. H. Emilie Cady attempts to reconcile the seemingly incongruous possibility that God can be both personal and impersonal by her statement: To the individual consciousness God takes on personality, but as the creative underlying cause of all things, He is principle, impersonal; as expressed in each individual, He becomes personal to that one personal, loving, all-forgiving Father-Mother. It's obvious that Unity's understanding of who God is has fallen victim to its own syncretism. Unity, while attempting to identify itself as being biblical, has offered too much on the "altar of tolerance" and, thereby, has prostituted itself on the bed of other gods. Donald Curtis, former minister at Unity Church of Dallas and author of several Unity books, has this to say about God: "Every one of us has planted within him a God-seed, and the business of life is to see that this seed grows, unfolds, and expresses in our world." Curtis goes on to say, "As this seed unfolds through the development of the Christ consciousness, we fulfill our highest objective in this world." The ultimate goal of those who follow Unity teaching is to recognize their "oneness" with the "Force," thereby realizing their true self, the God-Self. The god of Unity is an adaptation of Hindu belief regarding the divine. God is a part of His creation. God is in all things. Jesus the Christ Unity also holds an unbiblical view of Jesus. Donald Curtis agrees with Unity theology in that he believes that Jesus the man is fundamentally different from Jesus the Christ. Curtis says, "Christ is the universal principle of love and wisdom. Christ is the only Son of God, but this only Son of God lives in each one of us." Curtis makes a primary deviation from Biblical understanding in that he holds the position that Jesus is man and that Christ is divine consciousness. He states, "Let us prepare our self so that the Christ may be born in our own consciousness!" In other words, our spirituality is based on the discovery that the Christ is inherently within each one of us regardless of our personal beliefs or affiliations. Curtis continues: "When we say 'Jesus the Christ,' we must realize that Jesus represents man and Christ represents God in man." Unity distorts Christ as the Messiah and renders Him as a "universal principle of love" that resides in all of humanity simply waiting to be discovered through self-consciousness. Unity, along with other New Age belief systems, espouses a mental and spiritual 'transformation' that will raise our consciousness. According to Curtis "there are levels of development through which we grow toward full Christ-consciousness when we are truly transformed, fully reborn." The pantheistic nature of Unity is expressed in Curtis' declaration that "we let our self be ruled by the Christ within. We let the Christ teaching unfold in and through us in this great new age. We know that this Christ principle indwells every individual, no matter what his religious beliefs may be. . . . We give thanks for the realization of the mystical Christ, for the Christ consciousness alive in our life." [Also See All Paths One Destination?] Unified Man According to Donald Curtis, man's primary purpose is to recognize that he is divine. He states: "There is another teaching, however a higher teaching. It is that man has always existed as part of God, and that this God-self, which is the living Essence of everything, individualizes itself in man." Curtis goes on to say that "within each of us there is a great, wise, and beautiful Being. This is what we really are--the living Essence of everything. We are evolving constantly. We have self- consciousness; now we must develop God-consciousness, a sense of universal unity. And we must endeavor to manifest this God- consciousness in our world to solve our apparent differences through love and understanding." Unity teaches evolution, both physical and mental or spiritual. It teaches that mankind evolves toward Godhood and that this collective God-consciousness will be man's solution to all his problems. This teaching elevates mankind to divinity, a position that is far from biblical teaching. In his book The Way of the Christ, Curtis says that "man is human, but he is first of all divine." He adds that "as we recognize and identify with the Christ within, we become one with the universal Self-God." This is nothing more than Hindu philosophy dressed in Western garb: everything is a part of God and God encompasses all that is, whether it be animate or inanimate. This idea, pantheism, is widely held in the East and is being imported to the United States via every means available to man. Salvation H. Emilie Cady in her book, Lessons in Truth, says that "man originally lived consciously in the spiritual part of himself. He fell by descending in his consciousness to the external or more material part of himself." In other words, the fall of man was from the spiritual realm to the physical and this fall has caused him to suffer spiritual amnesia. Therefore man's dilemma is to reclaim his place in the spiritual realm through right thinking. Unity teaches that as man discovers his innate divinity he continues to raise his consciousness until he becomes fully God- realized. Once man has achieved this state of understanding he recognizes that he is in perfect oneness with God and is not in need of redemption but that he is indeed the divine. The unbiblical position regarding salvation held by Unity is clearly seen in the Unity publication, The Way to Salvation. This pamphlet states that "Jesus Christ was not meant to be slain as a substitute for man; that is, to atone vicariously for him. Each person must achieve at-one-ment with God, by letting the Christ Spirit within him resurrect his soul into Christ perfection." Curtis says that "more than ever, we need to become quiet and focus upon the inner. We need to be still and to know that the presence within is God." When one becomes fully aware of this divine presence salvation is realized because the individual no longer has a sense of lostness. Reincarnation Unity teaches that the individual lives a number of lifetimes within one existence. Dr. Donald Curtis of the Unity Church of Dallas writes that "it isn't so important that we make it in this particular lifetime, as it is to realize that we do make it, because there is only one lifetime and it goes on forever." Article 22 of the Unity Statement of Faith states, "we believe that the dissolution of spirit, soul and body, caused by death, is annulled by rebirth of the same spirit and soul in another body here on earth. We believe the repeated incarnations of man to be a merciful provision of our loving Father to the end that all may have opportunity to attain immortality through regeneration, as did Jesus." Charles Fillmore rejected the standard understanding of reincarnation as described by the Hindu or the Buddhist. He could not accept their respective teachings regarding the Law of Karma or the Transmigration of the soul. For him reincarnation was a much more simple way for God to offer man a second chance at perfection. This teaching of reincarnation is perhaps the most destructive of all the false teachings of Unity. The belief in reincarnation undercuts the primary tenets of the gospel. One would have to deny the deity of our Lord, His physical resurrection, and His Second Coming to accept the error of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore. Reincarnation undercuts Christian doctrine in three ways. First, it assumes that God is impersonal and is therefore unknowable. Second, reincarnation denigrates the Atonement of Christ, and third, it denies the fact that Jesus physically resurrected from the dead. We need to look at each of these more closely. The Bible does not offer any evidence to support these assumptions. On the contrary, the Bible clearly teaches that God is a personal Being and that He is knowable. Isaiah 43:25 and Jeremiah 31:20 tell us that God remembers; Exodus 3:12 and Matthew 3:17 say that God speaks; Genesis 1:1 and 6:5 along with Exodus 2:24 say that God sees, hears and creates. Elsewhere the Bible tells us that God is a personal Spirit (John 4:24 and Hebrews 1:3). Since God is a personal Being, He has a will (Matthew 6:10, Hebrews 10:7-9 and 1 John 2:17). Because God has an expressed will, He will also judge His creation (Ezekiel 18:30 and 34:20, and also 2 Corinthians 5:10). Unity attempts to denigrate the Atonement of Christ in order to build a better case for reincarnation; however, the Atonement delivers man from the cyclical concept of rebirth. Reincarnation does not offer us either peace or hope. The Atonement offers us peace because we do not have to rely on our own righteousness, and it offers us hope because of what Jesus did on the cross. Jesus has dealt with our sin on the cross and our response is to simply accept His work on our behalf. Likewise, Unity cannot accept a physical resurrection for our Lord. Unity holds that the disciples expected Jesus to be reincarnated, not resurrected. The biblical claims that Jesus rose physically, appeared to and was recognized by many, was physically touched by some, and ate fish with others are troublesome and must be explained away or spiritualized into meaninglessness if Unity is to seem plausible. (See Luke 24:16 and 31.) 1

So it's unorthodox..Big deal. I'm sure they think that their approach is better than yours. I bet they get some things better than you and vice versa. I bet neither of your groups perfectly adhere to and teach pure Christian doctrine. I doubt that their church is any more cultist than yours. Lastly... the HONEST world admits it's syncretism All you are doing by trying to insult Christianity and claiming to be part of "the HONEST world is showing our own ignorance. Unity Church claims to be Christian. The facts, well known and easily documented, show it is a cult with Hindu roots. If you want to be ignorant, fine, but to call yourself "HONEST" when you are intellectually lazy and ignoring the truth is dishonest. Just amazing how stupid people can be to believe whatever they are told, as long as they feel like believing it will keep them out of Hell. There is truth, either all faiths are lies or one is truth. Jesus Christ claimed to be God, the truth, the way, the life. He was either a liar and/or lunatic or He is LORD. If you want to believe in yourself, fine.....go ahead and see if you can get yourself out of death, go ahead and see if you are exempt from the fire of Hell, go ahead and see that Jesus is risen from the dead and is your Judge after He died for you and you rejected Him. It's just amazing how ignorant people can be. Your "syncretism" of Christianity is easily debunked by honest investigation of the facts. You are not honest at all. This debunks your "syncretism" garbage speaking of Christianity. Unity Church is a New Age Hinduism Cult. It is not Christian. If you can't see that in the easily documented facts I have presented in my ten or so opening posts, you must be retarded. unity church Unity, also known as the Unity School of Christianity and informally as Unity Church, is a religious movement within the wider New Thought movement and is best known to many through its Daily Word devotional publication. cult A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object A misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing followers of an unorthodox, extremist, or false religion or sect who often live outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader A relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister followers of an exclusive system of religious beliefs and practices fad: an interest followed with exaggerated zeal; “he always follows the latest fads”; “it was all the rage that season” The Unity School of Christianity is a classic new age cult. It has the appearance of being Christian; however, it holds pantheistic or new age beliefs at its core. Unity was founded by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore in 1889, and was later incorporated as a church in 1903 by the Unity Society of Practical Christianity in Kansas City. Unity is best known by its publication The Daily Word, used by many who are unaware of its doctrinal positions. Conclusion The Unity School of Christianity is recognized as a cult because it exhibits several cultic characteristics. One such characteristic is syncretism. Syncretism is the attempt to combine or reconcile differing beliefs, usually by taking the most attractive features from several sources and combining them into a something new. Unity has taken what some would call "the best qualities" of various religious view points and combined them into a new and more acceptable faith. Another characteristic of cults that is true of Unity is the denial of the biblical doctrine of salvation by faith in Christ's person and His finished work on the cross. In Unity, salvation comes by recognizing our inherent divinity and our oneness with God. Unity is, in my opinion, the most deceptive of the cultic groups that use the word Christian in their name. Unity's distinction is that the follower of its teaching is encouraged to remain in his respective church home whether it be Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, or whatever. The followers of Unity considers their denominational affiliation as a mission field where they can subtly disseminate their ideas. I recall that when I first became a believer and was attending a Methodist church, there was a particular woman in the church who often greeted me with the phrase, "Greetings to your higher self." It was a peculiar way to greet someone, yet I never asked her what she meant by it. It was several years later when I became a student of the cults that I understood the significance of her greeting. She was a follower of Unity's teachings, that each of us has the divine residing within us and that the higher self is God. According to Charles Fillmore, Unity is the blending of various religions and belief systems into one unified system of thought. The Fillmores introduced beliefs into their system that had been commonplace in Eastern religions and occult practices. The Fillmores introduced a pantheistic view of God to their followers and saw God as being both male and female. God is seen as an energy or force that resides in all things both animate and inanimate. Likewise God is seen as being impersonal and a part of His creation. Jesus is a principle of "love" that brings oneness to all things. This Christ principle is present within each one of us and ultimately unifies us in a salvation experience. Unity teaches that man's primary problem is that he has spiritual amnesia and needs to reconnect with his destiny. He needs to regain the realization that he is evolving toward divinity. Salvation, according to Unity, comes by recognizing one's divine nature. Unity does not recognize the Atonement of Christ but rather seeks what Eastern mystics refer to as at-one-ment or realizing oneness with the divine on a spiritual level. Since Unity does not recognize the work of Christ on the cross (the Atonement), but rather accepts evolution as a positive ingredient in man's spirituality, it is only logical that they embrace reincarnation as a valid system for spiritual enlightenment. As you can see, then Unity is not based on biblical teaching. To the contrary, it is heavily influenced by Eastern thought and belief. Unity is a classic New Age cult and is not Christian in any aspect of its doctrine or teaching. © 1995 Probe Ministries.

Opinions that seem to be made in a vaccum such as; "Another characteristic of cults that is true of Unity is the denial of the biblical doctrine of salvation by faith in Christ's person..." Yeah...denying the biblical anything isn't a sign of being in a cult. So they have syncretism and not believing what you do to equal a cult. Pretty sure Reverend Frank Hughs Jr. isn't an expert on identyfying cults or cult behavior, but I am willing to bet he has a horse in the race colouring his perceptions on the subject. You just swallow this whole though without questioning it. You a really have no opinion of your own you have been told what to believe for so long you no longer think for yourself. No wonder you are unable to critique another idea you have to defer to someone else to say it for you because you lack the ability to do it for yourself. You certaintly have not shown the ability in any of your arguments. You just post videos of other peoples claims then shout down/ban opposing views. I think I know why you lack this cognitive ability. Research has shown that on average conservatives have larger amygdalas (fear and anger center of the brain) and liberals have a larger anterior cingulate cortex (associated with critical reasoning and empathy) than the other group. This is why your arguments often revolve around fear of Hell, or disgust in acts you disagree with. These are feelings that resonate with you, it is likely that you find these types of warrants more appealing that others. Conservatives appeal more to calls to group cohesion than liberals. This is where your bullying rhetoric appeals to you, name calling or identifying the "other" are likely strong appeals to you. This also allows you to piggy back many ideas based on one ideology, Christianity. I mean isn't it funny you think the Christian "science" has the answer over the many doctrines of science having a conciliiance of evidence on evolution. You choose to favor a small group (your group) of non professionals with vested and competing interests, who are unable to credibly support their arguments, over the diverse groups of professional from the scientific fields of astronomy, geology, anthropology, biology, archaology and so on....of course you cannot justify this claim of yours in the link above that some conspiracy theory is happening here just to take down evolution. Its no wonder really. Other research shows that the religious often show less activity in the anterior cingulate cortex than the non religious. 2 This results in less recognition of errors they make and is associated with reducing their stress. In view with your likely leanings and actions from above this explains why appeals that are irrelevant to the logical validity of many ideas still appeal to your brain more than logical reasoning. Your lacking the ability to be critical with the things you post seem to back the idea that you value group cohesion quite highly. What you posted above is just a big pull to grop cohesion, it identiffy's then denounces the "other" reinforcing the group rather than trying to reach across the aisle. Your rhetoric only seems to convince those that are already in agreement with you because it is geared towards those just like you. I can tell right off the bat by the first two words you posted that your post is going to be nothing but the neighing of a jack ass, often called a mule, alluding to your stubborn attitude and horsey stink, so you are banned. Congratulations, it only took two words for you to get banned. You are such a jack ass, stubborn as a mule and stinky as a horse.. Go make your own discussions and stay out of mine. You can read my stuff if you want to, but you are on my auto ban list. What a pompous jack ass you are. I would find it very satisfying to forcefully eject you out of my house, I get some satisfaction from banning you but I sure would like to erase all of your stupid comments. You have NEVER shown any ability to behave civilly with me, and NEVER given me any good reason why I should not throw you out on your tail. The times I tried to reason with you, I gave you much more time than you deserve. How much time do you think God owes you, fool? When you wake up in Hell, if you will not repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you will know God tried to reason with you and you rejected Him, and when you are rejected by Him forever in the Lake of Fire, you will remember these words, (if you read them, which I really don't care if you read them or not) you will know it's Justice, and you will forever regret having brought it on yourself. I hope you prove me wrong, and I hope you get saved and go to Heaven, but I think you are going to wind up in Hell. "Conservatives appeal more to calls to group cohesion than liberals.

There is only one science, and it is observation of facts.
