That's something very dear to me, but for a different topic. We are discussing athiest fanatics.

How many Christians believe the man who said these words to be genuine?

"I place a curse on every man and every woman that would stretch his hand against this anointing; I curse that man who dares to speak a word against this ministry..."

Christ said you can say things against me, but keep the Holy Spirit. The reason for that is the Holy Spirit is the healing word of God, and to do so would deny you that joy.

After all the definition of hell; is the absence of God.

do you mean "chilli"? the imported South American hot meat dish you all eat.

Actually its origins are Mexican, which the last time I looked, is North American.

Plus it may have originated in Mexico, but like English culture and law, we adapted them and made them better.

Mexico is North American, but Chili didn't come from there

How does that give licence to "preachers" to curse people directly

I knew we had long tradition of Chili in Texas; well there you are; the Mexicans couldn't even invent that.

Are you asking me to answer for other people?

How the hell should I know what possesses people to do anything.

I live in Northern Virginia, home of some of the worst drivers in the US. I have enough to worry about with trying to figure that one out.

At the time Texas was Mexico, or part anyway.

Well it's lunch time, and I'm off to get a big old steaming bowl of chili.

Edit...Oops it's only 10:45 I have to wait, darn.

If anyone from South of the border tries to take credit for it, make sure you correct them.

Sorry I thought your response was some kind of answer to my original question. I guess it wasn't

We're all South of somebody's border, my child.

And there endeth the lesson.

I thought it was god that posesses and guided people. Thats what your revered leader says.

Are you now saying its nothing to do with religion?

The point is people can find any a reason they want to condemn.

Who knows? He also said many are called few are chosen. We have to pity the many.

But I think before we were born we knew what we were getting into, and the distinct possibility to fail.

You guys aren't.

I do not think that the Mexicans even try and claim it..
At least when I was in Mexico we never found a place that sold it. It was easier to get a pizza... Honestly !!!

We're South of Alaska.
Alaska is part of the US.
Therefore, we're South of the Northern US/Canada border.

And I can't believe I just used 'we' in a statement about Canada.
Guess I must be 'going native'.

There I go again, and all this time I thought you guys shared and east/west relationship with them.
