You mess with The Man and you will get burned.

[Dead Dog]

Technically, no. Only the meat dies. But for some, that is all they have, or at least acknowledge.

[Tall_Texan]

Well, he won't be winning THIS one on appeal...

SAINT PETER: Howdy, Phil.

PHIL: Who're you.

SAINT PETER: I'm the receptionist. Take a seat. the COO will be here shortly.

PHIL: COO?

JESUS: Hello, Phil.

PHIL: Who're you?

JESUS: Da guy on da cross, Phil. Phil? Phil? Wake up, Phil.

What a shame all around....

When Paulson, an atheist, was lying in his casket, you cant help but feel sorry for the s.o.b.-
All dressed up and No Where To Go .....

"It has nothing to do with me being an atheist or whether I was a Bible-thumping fundamentalist Baptist preacher.”

Does too. Just look at which one's whining.

[sport]

Good!

Jude 1:4

For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.

2 Peter 2:1

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Mark 8:38

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

Psalm 81:15

Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever

Exodus 20:5

You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

it aint about "karma"... but more..... ironic doncha think....like rain on your wedding day.....

like a free ride when you've already paid.....

I can't find Karma in my Bible. Can you cite chapter and verse?

Try looking up principles like "as you reap, so shall you sow", "doing unto others as you would have them do unto you". In a legal sense, Paulson essentially declared war against the Mount Soledad cross, a cross that is the symbol of Christianity. The Cross of Christ represents the free gift of eternal life to all who accept Jesus Christ as the Son of the Living God, who believe that He died upon that Cross as a sacrifice for their sins, and that through Him, they may be reconciled to the Father, their sins are washed away, and their eternity is secure in Christ. Paulson sought to take that Cross away, that symbol of eternal life, and it would appear that God, Who Alone giveth life, chose to take Paulson's life from him.

Let me know how you make out with that, and happy to help. :)

Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

Job 4:8

[tdewey10]

He spent years trying to remove a war memorial because it was a cross -- I find his claim that his atheism was not a motivating force for this crusade unbelievable.

[hardworking]

So in a way, he did us a favor

An excellent point. And, interestingly, atheists do cause believers to question themselves, and usually to come away being glad they have their faith. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

[Revolting cat!]

God to Paulson,

"You got some essplainin' to do!"

Ricky's God?

[Zeon Cowboy]

No sense in telling an atheist to rest in peace, so...

That guy has weird-alien eyes.

God to Paulson,

"You got some essplainin' to do!"

Moses didn't get to see the Promised Land either!!!

[Hoodat]

I can see him now standing in that BURNING LAKE OF FIRE crying out, "But I really didn't know!" I bet satan is getting a really good laugh out of that.
