K3ccd was used for camera control and Registax2 was used for stacking. This was my first night out with the new webcam.

Hi all,

I was wondering if I could get some help figuring out which moons these are, if they are moons. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Why I think 'The Passion' is evil...

I thought the movie was inspired. I am a Christian and have been for many years. I think my favourite part of the movie was when Christ crushed the serpents head in the garden. Scripture reference from Genesis 3:15 when sin was originally introduced into the world. Watching the movie from a Christian perspective I have to say that it only made me more thankful to God for his plan to bring all people back into a relationship with himself. The only part of the movie I questioned was the full size table and chairs that Jesus was building when we all know that people used to sit on pillows to eat.

The point of this letter is that my wife is not a Christian and has no plan of ever becoming one. When I asked her to watch the movie she declined and when I started talking about the movie she changed the subject. She does not want to acknowledge that the movie exists or that Jesus ever existed. The beauty of this movie is that it puts people on the spot. They are forced to either accept the movie as historical or completely ignore it. The decision is made on a spiritual level. Not through some mental process or from a mathematical equation. I don't believe in Christ because of some piece of evidence stored in a museum somewhere. Until God allows you or until you are willing to see the truth you will not be able to. The question is the only essential question you will ever have to ask in your lifetime. No amount of evidence will persuade you. Only God can reveal these things to you.

Also, as a Christian, I have become a member of the tribe of Isreal under Gods promise to Abraham. This is a promise to all who accept Christ. The Jews are my brothers and I have no ill will towards them. Christ was nailed to the cross ** as a human sacrifice ** for all men. If you have trouble understanding this it is through spiritual blindness. I have love for every person, not love from myself, but love from God.

I can understand why anyone looking from the outside in would think that I was a loonie or that my faith in God was unfounded. God laughs at logic and the most brilliant minds of men are only faint reflections of his greatness. Don't try to measure or weigh God because it will never happen. Be happy for life, and thankful for everything.

The Christian stereotype

Posted By Andrew Amundrud

Define a typical Christian. I want to hear from all of the Athiests out there.

The Roman historian Tacitus makes an objective secular reference to Jesus from Annals 15:44. Not sure if this helps, but let me know. Sorry for the delay, but it takes time to research this. I've never heard anyone question the existence of Jesus before.
