I wonder if the Travolta's will be charged in his death as negligent homicide. Refusing medical treatment that results in death of a child has been tried in court before. Remember the little girl that had insulin dependent diabetes and the parents that refused to treat her and prayed about it instead? Last time I checked they were on trial for manslaughter.
Jan - your position is no different than travolta's - their both variations of mankind's attempt to define the unknown.
Last time I checked Travolta's belief were based on a recent paperback called Dianetics written by a science fiction writter.
My beliefs are based on a 66 books, written by 39 authors over 1500 years.
Prophecies exactly fulfilled 800 years after they were transcribed. Best seller every year. Read and believed by billions around the world.
God has made himself clearly known. Wake up!
Jn. 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ.
Jn. 1:18 No-one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, [Or
the Only Begotten] [Some manuscripts: but the only (or only
begotten) Son] who is at the Father’s side, has made him
known.
Jesus Christ is the only God shape that will fill our hearts with life, truth and meaning.

LOL...Scientology vs Jan? I think I'd prefer Jan were calling the medical shots, seriously.
Scientology is off in lala land, just like homeopathy, astrology, and sitting on one's arse praying for miracles when one ought to be out doing something.
BTW you don't need to pray to Jesus. You just need to call in, when he's on-air .
Yes, my favorite portrayals of God and Jesus are on Family Guy and Southpark...

Excellent point, as many get their deepest theology of God and Jesus from some godless writers producing shows for Hollywood.
Hollywood has done more to destroy the moral and religious fiber in our country than any other form of entertainment.
Of course God has used the media greatly too. Rev Billy Graham and others have broadcast the gospel to the world.
So Sean, I am glad you are getting a wonderful knowlegde of God through a cartoon character. Why go to church when you can watch Southpark. Yes, we have a major brain drain in the US as we are dumbed down by Hollywood.

Not being a wise guy here Jan, but do mean that praying to God is useless. You MUST pray to Jesus ONLY and let him get it to his Father ????
We pray to God the Father in the Name of Jesus His Son.
A good pattern for prayer is given to the disciples by the Lord.
Matt 6:8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.

Billy Graham is probably the ONLY prominent religious figure I respect. He is not a slave to the religious right, and it's obvious that he does much more than simply recite from the Good Book.
