  • I am not Egyptian or Copt. So, this argument holds no water. Most people, including myself, are not pro-Bush or anti-Bush, but we are pro-Truth. Don't believe everything Bush says only because he says he is evangelical Christian. [quote] Oh re…

  • i didn't mean for everyone, but for some people
  • i don't think anyone in their right mind could listen only to Church hymns and be satisfied. We aren't required to only listen to Church hymns, and if the Church didn't have outside influences in music, we wouldn't have the different types of Churc…
  • TBN is a strange mix of churches. Some are good, Catholic and Orthodox. Some are nuts like Benny Hinn, and some are just strange, like the over-made up, wigged woman (can't remember her name).
