what a ridiculous piece of legislation. who are they trying to fool? the nature of a bill aimed at combatting global warming is one of raising prices on things like gasoline. i'm glad this bill failed.

i am all for the development of alternative fuel sources, though. especially if it means ending our dependency on the tyrannical and barbaric muslim world. we've played the harlot for them for much too long.

as for the global warming 'crisis,' i highly recommend the film "the great global warming swindle." it offers a compelling counter-take on al gore's piece.

the adversary's hand is clearly seen in this whole episode. unfortunately children are not exempt from his fiery arrows. we must take it upon ourselves to set the record straight regarding the true nature of islam: 9/11, kidnapping, beheadings, sedition, tyranny, genocide, misogyny, honor killings, suicide bombings, anti-semitism.

without a doubt this "bishop" should be ousted. no questions asked. he is living in outright defiance of God's revealed will and has no right to be in a position of spiritual leadership. shame on the episcopal church for putting up with this debauchery.

scitsonga,

first of all, do you believe in Christ? because Christ Himself encourages us to be vigilant for His return. see luke 12:35-40. it would be a mistake to ignore the the signs surrounding us. i'm not endorsing this website or the "nut-jobs" you speak of, "nut-jobs" who, by the way, most likely loved Jesus with all their hearts. i'm just saying it's never a bad thing to seriously consider preparations for the future, especially when God tells us to.

Website Lets Christians E-Mail Friends After Rapture

'In a world where only 16% of 16 to 29-year-old non-Christians express favorable view of Christians (Barna, 2007) , and only 3% of 16 to 29-year-old nonChristians express favorable views of evangelicals... we Christians should try to avoid doing stupid stuff like this,' vents Jonathan McKee, president of The Source for Youth Ministry, on his blog."

the website may be questionable in its efficacy, but its heart is in the right place -- to reach out to others for Christ. i also think it's a very creative idea to provide people with a way to keep their assets from becoming state property in the event of the Rapture. the signs surround us that the end is near. the buddying up of iran and russia... escalating threats against israel... the general level of depravity in society world-wide...

mr. mckee should be ashamed of his comments as a Christian. this is the crux of the modern Christian movement and concerns far more than just YouveBeenLeftBehind.com. for too long Christianity, especially in the u.s., has generally been too caught up with how it looks to the outside world, instead preferring to conform to the world's standards of what role and likeness Christianity should take in society and in people's personal lives. this is a very dangerous mentality, and a very grave mistake. we have been called out of the world to be lights unto the darkness. WE are to set the example, to be unabashed witnesses for God in a world that desperately wants to run away from Him. we see a culture who shamelessly blasphemes the Lord, abortion on demand, the proliferation of homosexuality and homosexual marriage, the removal of everything that honors God from the public domain... do we really want to be taking advice on how to be good Christians from this lot?

the bottom line: do we love Christ? are we willing to do what is undesirable and what the world might view as 'strange' if it means possibly gathering souls to Christ? with regards to the website, it is ultimately up to God whether it gets off the ground or not. we should be putting our trust and fear in Him, not in the wicked society that surrounds us.
