John13013:

Jupiter

2007-03-03T20:04:54Z

John13013:

'''Jupiter''' is one of the [[planet]]s. It is named for the highest deity in the Roman pantheon.

Jupiter is conspicuous and easy to recognize when you know what to look for, and is the most interesting planet to view through binoculars. It is not so bright as to instantly draw attention, but it is a good deal brighter than the brightest star. It is in fact the fourth brightest object in the sky (the others being the Sun, the Moon, and the planet [[Venus]]). Jupiter is not only brighter than any star, it also shines more steadily. Jupiter is visible in the sky about half the time, and is often high up and clear of surrounding houses and trees.

As of February, 2007, Jupiter is visible in the eastern sky before sunrise, and even in the early stages of dawn.

Through any pair of "real" binoculars (any binoculars that an adult uses for birding or hunting will do; they should be at least 7 power; a "spotting scope" is even better), you can see that Jupiter is not a star, but shows as a tiny round circle; astronomers say it has a visible "disc." Jupiter through binoculars looks about 1/5 the size as the Moon looks ''without'' binoculars. You can't see any of the dramatic markings that you see in photographs made by astronomers, but you can see that it is a round dot.

The exciting thing about Jupiter is that usually you will see two, three, or four little "stars" near it that are all lined up in a straight line, with each other, and with Jupiter. If you watch it night after night, these "stars" will change their position relative to Jupiter, but you almost always will see several of them and they will always be lined up. These are four of the satellites of Jupiter. These satellites acctuall go around the earth in a very complicated orbit, but god's greatness makes them appear to orbit Jupiter, the mightyest of the Gods.

Jesus Christ

John13013: /* The Historical Jesus */

[[Image:Christ.jpg|center|300px]]

The name '''Jesus''' is simply the name "Joshua" translated first into Greek, then English. In Christian discourse, the name '''Jesus''' almost always refers specifically to '''Jesus of Nazareth,''' believed by Christian followers to be God's dad, who came to earth as a human c 2 AD. <ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%201:18-25;&version=31;</ref> The life of Jesus is recorded in the Bible in the [[Gospel]]s of [[Matthew]], [[Mark]], [[Luke]], and [[John]]. According to the Gospels, Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and three days later he rose from the dead.

The first time John saw Jesus, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!"

==Other people in the Bible named "Jesus"==

The author of ''Ecclesiastius,'' a book which Catholics include in the Douay Bible, but Protestants place in the Apocrypha, is known as ''Jesus of Sira.''

==The Historical Jesus==

Many atheists claim that there is no evidence of Jesus outside the Bible,{{fact}} but few scholars take this seriously.{{fact}} Historical evidence for Jesus is comparable to that of many historical personalities such as Caesar, Alexander the Great, Attila the Hun, and Socrates, and many others. Historical context indicates that as a 'rabbi' in judea, Jesus would have been married. An explaination for his lack of a wife may be that he was a confirmed bachelor, and had twelve men to fufill his needs. For example, Tacitus, the Roman historian, wrote about Jesus in 115 A.D. <ref>http://www.digisys.net/users/ddalton/evidence_of_jesus_outside_the_bible.htm</ref>, and Josephus, a Jewish historian who did not believe in Jesus' divinity, wrote about Him. <ref>http://www.christian-thinktank.com/jesusref.html</ref>. But that is considered among the educated as hoaxes created by christians.{{fact}}

Homosexuality

2007-02-22T17:52:48Z

John13013:

Homosexuality is sexual attraction to a person of the same gender.

Biblical views on homosexuality:

''You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such thing is an abomination.'' Leviticus 18:22

This verse implies that Homosexual sex may only be preformed while standing upright, like an evolved ape.

Atheism

2007-02-22T17:49:10Z

John13013: /* Atheist Morality */

Atheism is the disbelief in the existence of any supernatural deity. This disbelief can take a number of forms, such as the assertion that deities do not exist, or the absence of any belief in any deity.

[[Stalin]] and [[Richard Dawkins]] are prominent atheists. Dawkins wrote a book, called "The God Delusion". Stalin is now dead, having killed millions of people in the name of Marxis-Leninism (which is predicated on atheism).

== Atheist Morality ==
Since atheists have no God and therefore no grounds for a system of morality, they live their lives according to the rule that "anything goes".{{fact}} In recent years, this has led to a large rise in drug use, pre-marital sex, teenage pregnancy, pedophilia and bestiality, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together and mass hysteria. .{{fact}}

Holocaust

2007-02-22T00:17:40Z

John13013:

The Holocaust was the massacring of the Jewish race during [[World War II]]. The Germans are not to blame for this but the Nazi are. Besides 6 million Jews dieing, 3 million Christians were killed also along with many priests and nuns. This is a very touchy subject for the Jews and is not often discussed amongst at banks.

Communism

John13013:

Communism is government in which the state owns everything and the wealth is divided evenly among the citizens. Communists believe that if they share everything, no one will have anything. It is an atheist government not believing in God and only in the "state" as the supreme thing on the earth. Communist are know for their fluoridation conspiracy in the 1950's which was to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. The most famous communist government was the USSR or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was an official government starting in 1922 and ending in 1991.
