Sowat, what does ‘get a life’ mean? I’ve had a brilliant life – richer and happier by far than anyone I know. When someone is reduced to insults, you know they're losing the argument. Of course the aim of all wars and conquests is material gain for the ruling elite, that’s a no-brainer… but who is going to sacrifice their life to help the rich get richer? No one. That’s where religion plays it’s part. Tell everyone it’s for the glory of god and they’ll do any damned thing. Read some true history – especially of the first 1500 years of Europe that tells the truth about the connivance between religion and state to strip lands and countries and enslave individuals.

What a nutty article, Sellicks seems almost envious of Islam's martyrs- perhaps he can convert.

Gibo, thanks for entertaining me. Are you sure the Bible doesn't say anything about posting on the internet at times containing the mumbers of the beast?

Look:

Phew, you posted just in time.
Three minutes later and you would've had three sixes appear in your date and time. Scary huh?

But don't feel relieved yet; add up all the numbers next to your name and:
2+7+8+2+0+0+7+6+5+3+5+6=51 =5+1=6

OH OH another 6; it appears that you have posted at the time of the beast.

........................................................................................666.......................................................................................................................

Add up the numbers in any other way, e.g. 27+8+2007+65356 and they will add up to 6 also.

Gibo adds up to 6 as well.
Perhaps you're the hidden martyr Sellicks has always prayed for.

I don't know if I want to live in America or not. I have never been there but would be happy for someone to pay my way. I sure think it would be better than living in the druggie land of the Dutch or the Saudi Arabia where more than likely I would be beheaded if my beliefs were made public.

I actually find it hard to imagine that their would be a greater place to live than in Australia. We are a greatly blessed land with opportunities for many people from many different places. I thank God everyday for a wonderful country with a largely tolerant group of people.

And you, Celivia, are 7. Is that for the seven who went to heaven?

I think we ALL could become martyrs in the Bibles endtimes. Doing a bit of casual research in my early christian days I came across as many as 14 or so different references in the form of visions and prophecies from The Lord to committed christians here in Australia regarding an asian invader on Australian soil as far south as Byron Bay NSW...God's allowance because of the sins of the people should they fail to repent. Most revelations seemed to point to the great Chinese/asian confederacy army known as THE KINGS FROM THE EAST of Revelation 9:16 and 16:12...200 million soldiers heading westwards across asia towards Israel and Armageddon; with a possible southwards movement on to Australia according to our sin at the time. Actually I collected so many revelations I moved out of QLD and back into NSW (theres faith for you in the "Divine product"). Do you think Australians will engage national Christian revival and avoid the Judgment? Or are we too pig-headed a people to know what sin is any more? See you in a lively christain church this Sunday?

Boaz David, Thanks for the good report, especially of Singapore and the global church.

Gibo, I heard on ABC Radio a Wollongong Uni Lecturer in IT talk about the nano chip, and how it will soon be available to microchip the USA armed forces. The current chip is deemed too large or it would be done already.
A person with a scanner will also be able to park outside your home and the scanner will identify not only the occupants but all the food items etc. that are in the house.

Peter, Good on you for starting the thread.
