Angie, that was wonderful. I love hearing stories like that. Tim Angie Novak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: St. Stephen's in Anoka, Minnesota. Catholic. I know there are good people out there. A church was the main force in getting people together who wanted to help me get an addition added on to my parents' split-level house two years ago. If it hadn't been for those people, (who were brought together through their church and three of my cousins, whose family are parishioners there), I would still be living in the dining room and kitchen. Nobody asked me if I was Catholic, or Christian for that matter, before, during, or after the construction was going on. It didn't matter to them, they just wanted to make my life better, which they really did do. It didn't matter to me that their beliefs were different from mine. I was and still am, (and always will be), extremely grateful to those wonderful people who helped me, just because they wanted to. When I was asked what my religion was, and I let it be known that I was no longer a Catholic, it made no difference to those people. It was all good will for humankind. It was amazing. I have nothing against people following whatever religion they choose to. I just know that there are a lot of not so good-bad people out there as well. Not following any particular religion works for me. I'm proud to be a heathen. : ) -Angie

Churches and their members are human and there are good and bad just like every part of life. Angie Novak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: After my injury, our church kicked us out. They sent a letter in the mail saying we were no longer parishioners. Guess they missed our weekly donation. -Angie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just a few questions, how did you hear about the thing with Lucifer? And are you saying faith is just covering all the bases? Have you noticed not many churches want cripples that don't seem to get any better. I have gone to several churches where the pastor has looked directly at me and said god answers the prayers of all true believers. If I don't have a church to go to on Sundays then where will I get my weekly dosage of guilt? I must be a true believer or I wouldn't feel guilty about this e mail. john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sun, 15 Apr 2007 2:28 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] God, and Heaven-Hell .AOLPlainTextBody { FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff } .AOLPlainTextBody PRE { FONT-SIZE: 9pt } .AOLInlineAttachment { MARGIN: 10px } .AOLAttachmentHeader { BORDER-RIGHT: #7da8d4 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #7da8d4 1px solid; BACKGROUND: #f9f9f9; FONT: 11px arial; BORDER-LEFT: #7da8d4 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #7da8d4 1px solid } .AOLAttachmentHeader .Title { PADDING-RIGHT: 3px; PADDING-LEFT: 3px; BACKGROUND: #b5ddfa; PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px; FONT: 11px arial; PADDING-TOP: 3px } .AOLAttachmentHeader .FieldLabel { PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 9px; BACKGROUND: #f9f9f9; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px; FONT: 11px arial; COLOR: #000000; PADDING-TOP: 1px } .AOLAttachmentHeader .FieldValue { BACKGROUND: #f9f9f9; FONT: 11px arial; COLOR: #000000 } .AOLAttachmentHeader A { COLOR: #2864b4; TEXT-DECORATION: none } .AOLImage A { COLOR: #2864b4; TEXT-DECORATION: none } .AOLAttachmentHeader A:hover { COLOR: #2864b4; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } .AOLImage A:hover { COLOR: #2864b4; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } .AOLWebSuiteCompose .AOLPicturesFullSizeLink { OVERFLOW: hidden; WIDTH: 1px; HEIGHT: 1px } .AOLWebSuite .AOLPicturesFullSizeLink { OVERFLOW: hidden; WIDTH: 1px; HEIGHT: 1px } BODY { BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-FAMILY: "Verdana"; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white } .AOLWebSuiteCompose P { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } IMG.managedImg { WIDTH: 0px; HEIGHT: 0px } IMG.placeholder { BORDER-RIGHT: #dadad6 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #dadad6 1px solid; BACKGROUND: #f4f4f4 no-repeat center center; BORDER-LEFT: #dadad6 1px solid; WIDTH: 275px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #dadad6 1px solid; HEIGHT: 206px } If you live a good life as IF there really IS a God and Heaven or Hell and die to find out it was not true--YOU LOST NOTHING. BUT IF you live and deny God and Heaven Or Hell and DIE to find out THERE IS a GOD and it's All TRUE-----------{{YOU LOST EVERYTHING.}} But God wants no robots, that's why he gave Mankind free will and choices. As a matter of fact he even granted his Angels free will....When Lucifer Tried to overthrow God, He took 1/3 of God's angels with him by decieving them to follow him.
