#78 The Gov't Can Take Your Property Without Charging You of A Crime


What about eminent domain? I don't think it quite fits into this....

You got a dl link there chief? Sum1 U2U me with it plz...

Looks very interesting, will read again

The book was a gift to me for Christmas. It costs like $7 at Barnes & Noble.

Some of them were pretty surprising to me.

if you want I can elaborate what the book says on anything you have in question.

I'm busy right now but when I get the time I'll read more of the OP, but thanks for sharing S&F.

BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got about to no# 10 before I realized how self-congratulating this thread is, but I read them all anyway.
Mods should change the title because it is disingenuous...
The OP simply listed a bunch of "facts" that are esoteric in nature; no conspiracies necessary.

Who besides the OP says we aren't supposed to know these things?
All these countdown/top whatever # threads that are so popular lately has me thinking people are fishes for stars and flags.

Boo!

Jealousy, one of the seven sins. That made me laugh... because the bible shows him/her/it being jealous many times. I mean no insult to any ones belief, but just think about it.

Why should that make you laugh? The definition of sin is "disobeying God." God doesn't have to follow any rules whatsoever, especially ones made for far lesser human beings. He is the one who defines what is right and wrong. He is the POTTER, and CREATION is the clay. You can't reduce God to someone that has to follow what he requires of us. Your conception of God is severely limited. Just take our simple human counter-part: A parent tells the little children (go to bed at 8:00 pm), and yet they stay up until midnight. Why? Because they are the ones with the authority to make the rules, and they get to decide who those laws apply to.

I'm not trying to put your down or anything, it's just that your comment seemed so incomprehensible. Basically, God is not man, and is not subject to the laws made for man.

I know this might bruise many people's ego, but really, we need to have some humility here and realize that we ARE NOT the center of the universe, and in fact, God IS... after all, if He made it all, He has the right to say whatever he wants.

Now, aside from this, what is He Jealous about? He is Jealous for our love, as a husband is jealous for his wife. Jealousy is not the same as envy. The word Jealous comes from ZEALOUS and is more like saying PASSIONATE FOR EXCLUSIVITY. There is no other God, for only one God can be infinite, and when we fix our deep spiritual affection upon something other than the one who made all things, He is JEALOUS for us because He loves us so much.

Basically, you can be JEALOUS to protect that which is yours, and you can be ENVIOUS of something that is NOT yours.

How pathetic, one mention of God and the chrisitans are on the band wagon. God sounds jealous to me. Thou shalt not worship any other, thy shall listen to only my word, I am all and everything blah blah blah. Certainly jealously would spawn such a religious dictatorship.

Could you please elaborate on #9?

Most of my family is from there and that's where I was raised, and I never heard anything close to a rumor about atomic bombs being dropped in NC.

thanks

yes that is scary i live not fare from where they landed.

God is a fictional character in a book littered with parables. Created by man to give us hope that someone/something is watching over us. To keep us from committing sin and to be law abiding.

I don't want to turn this into a religious debate, but I had to share my interpretation.

Regarding the list, fetuses masturbate? Men have a clitoris? Lol. Some of these things aren't supposed to be known because they're not factual.
It sounds like an entertaining book though.

Hello, cool book.

I would like to know about the ten commandments thing, if you don't mind.

As for jealousy being a sin, it's not a sin to be jealous. It's a sin to covet your neighbor's goods and wife. To be jealous means you don't like your loved one giving others undue attention. Such as humankind giving demons and false prophets and government officials loyalty and love instead of giving it to God who created them and takes care of them by teaching them how to survive the long stretch of eternity by helping them learn the hard lessons now.

Whereas covet means to want something so bad you are thinking about doing something bad to get it, such as your neighbor's wife or husband or even child. That's a sin.
