    Comment: It's about time. Now check out my book at Amazon.com

    The Epoch Point by Spencer Zimmerman is a religious historical conspiracy thriller that follows evil throughout the existence of mankind, revealing the constant conflict between God and the devil, good and evil. Robert Davis is a young Airman fresh out of Air Force basic training who, after being held captive in China, suddenly finds himself unraveling the most immense conspiracy in history. On duty during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he soon uncovers hidden facts suggesting Russian and Iraqi involvement. While exploring abandoned military barracks at Kessler AFB in Mississippi, Davis and his friends discover the diary of Lee Harvey Oswald. Suddenly the Airmen find themselves the target of mysterious agents. As the clues surface, an evil emerges powerful enough to rewrite the entire history of humanity, not to mention kill two of his good friends. Before long the conspiracy takes on a supernatural form, marked by lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, and volcanoes, the wrath of God. Davis finds himself torn by the unbelievable realization that God has a message for him. Nothing could prepare him for the final suspenseful twist the story takes, a Da Vinci style revelation that reaffirms his belief in Christ.

    Comment: William,
    I'm not giving up on you. I know that inside you're hurting. I don't know what you're covering up for, that bothers you so much. Those pedophile priests have hurt countless innocents children. Those priests were sick, they should have been medically treated and send the real guilty ones to jail : WHICH WERE THE ONES WHO COVERED FOR THEM, FROM THE BISHOP TO THE POPE.

    • Posted By: William.Demuth @ 12/20/2007 08:11:25

      Comment: Nor I on you. All humans are the same. I for one can accept whatever a person believes, but only up to the point where they want to use force, coercion or the political process to draft innocent minds, and indeed this very country into their clique. Ironically, this brings us back full circle to this article, and my amazement that Christians everywhere aren't boycotting this product.

      If I where to truly believe I owed my own existence and indeed all of existence to a God, and some charlatan where to attempt to sell me plastic bottles of water with blasphemous images of all I help dear on them I would not only boycott the product, I would probably slit the manufacturers throat.

      I believe religion in a home can and often does serve the best interests of the family and society at large, but religion in industry or government undermines the free will of the electorate, the inherent rights of the minority, and erodes society at its foundation. The commercialization or attempts to politize religion divide us at our gut level, and will destroy our society.

      As far as hurting inside personally, you are mistaken, the quality of my life both spiritually and materially is far greater than most and probably more than I deserve.

    omen (plural) whom I adore (which means : to love deeply). Your comments of the past do not lined up with this statement. I even have kids : is it suppose to mean anything? Are you a Dad to those kids? I don't know if ii

      Comment: Statements from the past that don't line up? Dude, you MUST be reading the Bible and not this forum!

      All I have ever said is that your religion is a bastion of fools who are afraid of their own death so much that they will trade any lick of common sense they ever had to any con artists that can convince them they don't have to cease existing.

      You do, just like the long since dead Jesus did, and thankfully once you and your ilk are gone, you wont be coming back either!

    I assume that you're referring to the Catholic Church. I must admit that I agree with you.
    What I wholeheartedly disagree with is that God has nothing to do with it. Men did the things you described. The Catholic Church is a denomination full of religion, traditions, men made rules using God as tttheir

      Your running around babbling about a non existent omnipotent old man in the sky who created us all, but in a minor screw up also crated starvation, murder, torture, rape, war and eternal damnation, yet you still worship him? And YOU call ME an idiot? Dude, it's time you stop living in the dark ages. Modern men have relegated the ridiculous deities of the past to nothing more than cartoon characters, and they will soon do the same to your beloved Jesus.

      When that time comes, I am abjectly confident that Spiderman will kick his scrawny butt.

      Between now and then you may choose to keep supporting those who rape children, defraud the old and the poor, and make war on nonbelievers, but rest assured the glorious judgment you aspire to will come, not at the hands of your absurd God, but at the hands of those MEN who have had the boot of your church on their throats for far to long.

        I don't think you're an idiot anymore. I think you're a sick individual that went through a lot of bad experiences as a child and has been abused somehow later on in life. It's understandable that you're mad at the world, at women and God, but you can't remain in this state of anger.

          Your assumption that I am mad at the world is strange. I like the world, it is your religion I can do without. You do remember your religion right? The one that has been used for the justification of the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition, the Klu Klux Klan, the slaughter of the American Indians and enough atrocities to fill the history books? You remember your religion right? The one with the store front preachers in the mega churches defrauding the old and the ignorant so your pious leaders can wrap themselves in gold? The religion that led it's followers and this nation into the religious cesspool that is middle eastern politics at the cost of thousands of lives and billions of dollars? You remember your religion right? The one that took men of science and philosophy and put them to death because they threatened to expose your God as the absurd fantasy it is?

          You keep on believing real hard, and maybe the baby Jesus will bring you a nice Armageddon for Christmas!

    Comment: you're all nuts...I wish I would have thought of selling bottled water that was "blessed" as it came off the production line. I could have made millions off of all these ignorant fools. You people will believe anything. You are too afraid of the "wrath of god" to even consider something might be BS when it comes to your faiths. Sometimes a little questioning goes a long way. It's also telling of the kinds of people that religions create when all you have to do is have a stupid story about something remotely religious to get you all to start fighting over which part of the bible is most important. Peace out weirdos.

    Comment: olablue,
    My intentions are not to debate religious denominations.
    I believe that the whole Bible is inspired of God.
    I do not get my understanding from men.
    "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

    (2 Tim 3:16,17) (Authorized King James Version)

    Comment: olablue,
    I respect your faith and I'm not trying to convert you, but simply to share my views.
    I'm a Bible believer first. The Bible is perfect because it's the Word of God.
    Religion and denominations are not perfect because they are founded by men.
    We are not saved by a religion, but only through Jesus our Savior. If we have Jesus in our heart, than religion can't hurt us, but we can't compromise on His word.

    • Posted By: Olablue @ 12/15/2007 11:25:39

      Comment: You should read a book written by an Protestant preacher named Scott Hahn. It is called "Home Sweet Rome" and it covers all the misconceptions he had about Catholic Catechism and filled in the "holes" in Protestant teaching that did not have concrete answers to one's quest for truth in their faith.

      He is now a catholic professor at St. Francis in Steubenville, OH because he read his way into the truth. Maybe there will be some further understanding of catholic faith after you read it. Hopefully, you will see there is no "split personality" as you call it.

      Comment: It also depends on which version of the bible you are reading. Actually, only the gospel messages are considered to be The Word of God.

    I don't know if you read the Bible, but It says : "For THERE IS one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

    Comment: 0lablue,
    It all depends if you take the authority of the Church over the authority of the Bible which is the word of God.
    The Catholic Church has more books in Her Bible than anyone else.
    "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophesy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
    And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophesy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in the book."

    (Rev 22:18, 19)

    • Posted By: Olablue @ 12/15/2007 09:18:02

      Comment: So, yours is a Protestant viewpoint. Enough said! I know where your beliefs lie. Mine are obviously of the Catholic faith which encompasses far more depth and faith. I hope you continue to read all those books in the bible and try digesting the catechism that goes with the Catholic beliefs. The truth is the truth. Conversions happen every minute.

      Comment: Sorry Gillis, you lost me. I was just trying to ask why, if god and jesus are so loving, they would then get pissed and vengeful if people don't believe in them (and I think i should have said) and/or pray to them. I may have asked my question badly.....and for all I can see my phrasing may still be bad. Considering that I don't believe OR pray I may not have thought out too well the best way to ask my question.

    • Posted By: Olablue @ 12/14/2007 09:27:20

      Comment: There are a whole lot of people who pray to/through intercessors who aren't FULLY convinced at all times. The Catholic Church has problems with priests who question the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist...this is COMPLETELY intolerable and these priests should be REMOVED IMMEDIATELY by their Bishops until they FULLY submit to this basis of faith. Without this basis of faith, they are no different than Protestants in their belief and this is not what Jesus intended when he said "Do this in memeory of me".

      • Posted By: Gillis @ 12/14/2007 21:07:13

        Comment: Olablue,
        If you want your prayers to be heard you have to pray directly to God in Jesus' name.
        The Eucharist is simply a way to remember Christ's death on the cross. The Lutherans use wine with pita bread. The Baptists use grape juice with pita bread. I'm sorry, but only the Catholic Church thinks that they serve the literal body and blood of Christ.

        • Posted By: Olablue @ 12/15/2007 07:36:47

          Comment: So, I take it you are agreeing with me that the Catholics are the only ones who believe in the true presence of Christ in the most Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist as Jesus Himself directed at The Last Supper. Anyone else is just looking at it as a "symbol".

          The concept of Intercessors is lost on most other religious groups. The Catholic Church has a long legacy of intercessory prayer through Mother mary and the Angels and Saints. It's like someone trying to defend themselves in a court of law without an attorney to speak for them. They are foolish not to use the help that is given them. I will stick with Our Lady of America, The Immaculate Virgin, as my intercessor.

      Comment: JerseyGirl,
      Paying for blessed water is no better or worse than to pay for indulgences or to pay for masses for dead people. One is sold by a company and the other one is sold by the Church.

      • Posted By: rhiannon @ 12/28/2007 09:42:58

        Comment: You know, my great uncle had a mass said for his late wife, my great aunt Domenica, who was a wonderful, beautiful woman and my Confirmation sponsor. I don't recall him paying a penny for it. No reputable parish would ask for payment to say a mass.
        Now, I no longer believe the Catholic or Christian practices, as I find more solace in Paganism. But I still think Jesus was one happening guy, and I still thank the Gods every day for my Aunt Domenica's spiritual guidance at a time when I needed it. I feel a spiritually-fulfilled person today thanks in part to her encouragement and help.
        Selling "holy water?" Stupid. Wasteful. But what a way to use the brains given you. I hope they make money hand over fist until the revolution happens and plastic becomes a valuable commodity that idiots don't just toss away like boogers. :)

    Comment: President Hillary,
    One does not change his or her life around by drinking blessed water. The only way to change our life around is to be born again and repent of our sins. The Holy Spirit that we receive by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior will convict us of our sins and will do the work for us.
    One can swim in blessed water, one can float on blessed water, one can shower with blessed water, one can drink a gallon of blessed water a day, it will do nothing for anybody.

      Comment: Let me see if I have this right because a lot of you have said the same thing. God and JC are loving and kind adn care so deeply about the human race that they want to save us from eternal damnation and all of that bad stuff. BUT, if we don't believe in them and pray to them we will piss them off and they will destroy is. Jeez, no wonder you religious types seem so conflicted. This is kind of a split personality deal y'all have to contend with!

    Comment: To me , so called --"holy water." is something the catholic Church inherited from pagan religins dating back to and including Babylonian religious prectices ,besides how can water be holy just because some human attempts to bless it . Therefore since all humans are imperfect and incapable of blessing anything in the first place , then there can`t be such a thing as Holy Water ! !!! Right ??? Wow , What a Snow Job .
    then it can`t really be holy water

    Comment: My goodness, I've never met such a bunch of childish opinionated crap . I don't know why Newsweek even entertains this discussion panel. Either people talk past each other, or there are stupid creeps (who are either too old and senile or too young and insecure) trying to put one over each other. Big deal. I'm out of this looney bin and not coming back.

    Comment: restlesslilly,
    It's not that people are stupid, it's about the brainwashing of the Catholic Church from infancy to adult life. I don't think that you'll see some 20 years old buying blessed water, because most of them don't go to church to be indoctrinated by this false religion.

    • Posted By: William.Demuth @ 12/19/2007 14:26:36

      Comment: Dude, don't underestimate yourself, you are DEFINETLY more stupid than most, so take the credit you deserve!

  • Posted By: restlesslilly @ 12/12/2007 6:58:07 PM

    Comment: Where in the Bible does it tell us to buy blessed water? Also, the Church teaches the Bible. So, they are one and the same. Its wrong IMO to sell blessed water because they are counting on people who are dumb enough to fall for it to actually think it will do anything. So, I guess I don't know why I'm complaining. People are going to be stupid no matter what sense anyone tried to talk into them

  • Posted By: restlesslilly @ 12/12/2007 4:20:07 PM

    Comment: I also wanna say any Catholic who says selling blessed items is not a sin is a misinformed individual who knows nothing of the faith they claim to follow. I'm not even Catholic yet and I know more about it than most Catholics. You can get water blessed for free just by taking it to any priest. Don't be stupid enough to fall for this "business" they're simply making a mockery of Christianity. Cause its the cool thing to do.

    • Posted By: Gillis @ 12/12/2007 16:58:09

      Comment: restlesslilly,
      Selling blessed water is no more a sin than selling unblessed water.
      That company is counting on the gullibility of the Catholic adherents that believe the lies of the Catholic Church about the blessed water having some divine power.

  • Posted By: restlesslilly @ 12/12/2007 3:45:40 PM

    Comment: Selling Blessed water is against Church teaching and once you buy it it loses all of its blessing anyway. Don't waste your money. What a sham.

    Comment: Selling blessed anything is against Church teaching. Once its sold it loses all of its blessing. So, if you buy it you have to get it re blessed anyway. Don't waste your money people.

    Comment: Holy Water really works to expell demons ..Just make soup out of it and give it to who-ever ..say a prayer with this ..There are Evil spirits here on earth just as Good Spirits =Jesus The Christ .I would pay $10 a case for it and it is worth every single penny ..But all you have to do is buy some plain water take it to a priest and get it blessed ..Make soup and feed souls ! What a wonderful Idea ! GOD Bless these people ...someone needs to give Bush a case and Cheney his puppet ..The Late Pope John Paul called Bush anti-christ ! And said this is the End of Days 107xs ....drink up ...and pray ..for Dennis Kucinich to win ! Americas last Hope !

    Comment: I think it is a wonderful idea ! It really works "Holy Water" this I know from personal experience's ..You can make soup out of it and let unsuspecting people drink it ..that need a little help expelling demons or improper thoughts caused by demonic "projections" into one's mind .The Spirit of Jesus The Christ is here on earth and so is the spirit of satan and his followers ...For every positive there is a negitive .Give me some of that Holy Water ..I would pay $10.00 a case for it ! and its worth every single penny !

        I don't think anybody on this panel knows what you're talking about. Are you for real or some kind of nut out of a rotten fruit.
        You should cut down on your medication or they will take you back in, and pleading insanity will not work this time.
        I don't believe you have children or if you had any they have been taken away for their safety.
        It's the only panel I know that allow this kind of crap.

  • Posted By: Gillis @ 12/12/2007 12:47:54 PM

    Comment: President Hillary,
    Blessing water is an invention of the Catholic Church. It has no spiritual value. It's not biblical like many of the Catholic Church Inventions. Just to name a few : Purgatory, Pope's infallibility, the forgiveness of sin, the only Church that will get you to heaven, infant baptism, once saved you can loose your salvation, the Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ himself, the worship of Mary, Her Ascention and so forth.

    Comment: Wow! Anything for a buck. I've even got a better idea for those greedy capitalists. How about printing famous religious sayings of say Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, etc. on toilet paper? Just think, every time you let nature take its course you are making a point. I'm sure there are enough atheists out of whom a stinking profit could be made by an enterprising entrepreneur.

    Comment: Evolutionist,
    You on the other hand writes lenghthy expose about your ignorance that definitely reveals your third grade status.
    I too could write longer comments, but I doubt you could comprehend any of it.
    For your information I'm married with 4 children and 9 grandchildren.
    My wife is equal to me and respect her and all women immensely. I think your immaturity and your insecurity are a cover for your stupidity, especially your view about women.

  • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/12/2007 2:20:41 AM

    Comment: Pastor Mike, Im gonna tell you a true story. This church in my neighborhood places like a hundred small crosses in the front yard to represent the baby's that where aborted. I went to the church and personally flipped each cross upside down for everyone to see on Sunday. It was 4 in the morning when I did it , only 3 hours away from the whole town to see it. I was very happy to see people angry and crying. Atheists own all christians....you will not kill innocent people anymore, the church will never again become a government superpower. Christians will be silenced in schools not able to use their cunning trickery into making you believe in some dirty jew god. Have fun everybody, praise the jew and give him money...a jew always need more....its never enough.

  • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/12/2007 2:12:35 AM

    Comment: Well we have learned a few things on this forum, evolution owns, males rules the earth women need to bow down and they need to worship their man, and that christians are fat ugly people that can not have sex with someone unless its a small church boy. Oh, and one more thing, that we have to stock up on guns and rifles, the end is near, without law and order humans will run rampart in the streets. A particular race, I m not going to even mention them as a group but when they break into your house you need to use deadly force. Shoot them and feel good about it.

    • Posted By: rhiannon @ 12/28/2007 10:30:24

      Comment: Jeez, Evolutionist...you have emotional issues. I think you are, as Carat said, a pipsqueak who doesn't actually believe 80% of the crud he writes, but just in case: you DO know, don't you, that physically, genetically, men are inferior to women, right? The XY combo is a mutant...a necessary and positive mutation, do NOT get me wrong! And studies have been going on to determine why the percentages of male children being born are dropping...this is despite the fact that in many Asian countries, female babies are sometimes not reported at birth so that they can be murdered, so the family can use their "child quota" (for overpopulation reasons) to have a male child. Which all boils down to many more females than males are being born in the last several decades. Why? Scientists are calling the male XY combination an "endangered species"....weird.

  • Posted By: Astroman @ 12/11/2007 10:28:07 PM

    Comment: wow if you have to yell at each other on a panel what is wrong with that!?! Really what if someone wants to buy the water? It's their choice!

  • Posted By: Pastor Mike @ 12/11/2007 10:19:27 PM

    Comment: Anytime you use the name of God, in whatever form, to back your product, or line your pocket; there is a major ethical dilema. Its just wrong. The include those who put a fish on thier business sign to promote their business. What if something goes terribly wrong and you go bankrupt and leave unpaid bills, say due to health failure, or financial or other disaster. What have you just done to the name of God?
    Bottom line: Stake your own reputation upon His, not the other way around.

      Comment: Gillis I am astonished at your skills in the english language. Such grammar techniques you have. You write no more than a few sentences. Looks like you were educated in a private all white school. NOT! lol I love women, dont get me wrong, but a women needs to know her place. What ever than man says,...goes. Period. Women need to shut the phuq up sometimes, we have given them too many rights and now they want to rule this country...women are not our equal guys. Its guys like yourself that are gay and afraid to speak the truths. Let me remind you that your guide to molest children bible book states that females ate the apple therefor will be punished. Let me remind in different places in the world if your wife talks back to you , you can legally kill her. I guess the human race is far from being animals. I did not mention death to my women. I would never kill my wife for any reason, but she better listen to what I got to say.

    Comment: This whole thread has taken a turn for the worse in the last day. Please go to www.oltiv.org and read through the testimonials of thos who have been helped/healed by the holy water flowing from the property in Rome City, IN where Our Lady appeared to Sr. Neuzil in 1956.

    Just like Bernadette said, "Without faith, the water holds no virtue".

    Be at peace and come to know Jesus as your savior...if you prefer to remain a non-believer, that is fine. Please do not attack or threaten those who do. There is nothing "human" in attacking others for their beliefs.

  • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/11/2007 4:01:56 PM

    Comment: Blessed bottled water - great idea. I hope the christians that buy this crap go broke and miss a rent payment and forget their 6 children need food and clothes. If your a Catholic (which are the most digusting hypocrites on the face of the earth) just steal something or take money from the church. All they have to do is confess their sins and they still get to go to heaven, lol. Screw around your husband - confess and it's ok! lol Get some self respect. I would never do that to my wife or even a girlfriend I loved. The bible mentions that man made women with one of our spare ribs! lol. Thats cool with me, that means women are 2nd to a man and that we made women to have fun and pleasure. The bible also states to "Obey" your man. lol, what insecure female would believe in this trash. As a evolutionist I do agree that men are better than women. The fact is men have created virtually everything and have physically built almost everything. We are rulers of this world no doubt, but that doesnt mean we need to abuse our power. I would never hit a female and I hate to even raise my voice at them. The fact God is a male is also flattering, the fact he doesnt look like a Jew, more white than anything is also insane. Females played a huge role when we still lived in caves, they were very important to men. Not so much these days, its hard to find a female that hasn't slept with 25 guys by the time she hits 14 years of age. Females are filthy creatures.

    • Posted By: Gillis @ 12/11/2007 16:22:03

      Comment: Evolutionist,
      If a female slept with 25 guys, than we have also 25 filthy males.
      It makes me wonder how or where do you get your sex.

      • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/11/2007 16:40:33

        Comment: Your wrong, females begin to have sex way before males do. Look at the internet and see what chics do!!! Disgusting! Females give animals blowjobs, eat crap, they vomit in each others mouths. Females have tried so hard to be respected. In this day and age that is almost impossible now with internet pics and photos. Women are at fault for doing that kinda crap for money anyway. Young men see this and instantly have no respect for them. I dont think I can marry a female becuase if she would divorce me she would get "MY KIDS" and "MY MONEY" ...well I dont care what the courts would say,..I would take the law into my own hands.It would never go to court. Women go after guys with money, its prositution. Why should I give a woman all my money? Forget that, if your a real man youll get a pre-num and make her sign a waiver for your kids if she leaves you.

          Comment: Evolutionist,
          With that kind of attitude toward women I can guaranty you that you wont have any problem, because no woman in her right mind would be remotely associated with you..

          • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/12/2007 02:43:50

            Comment: The trick is to act like a nice guy at first. During this time the female you are after will get alot of phone calls during the night and she will lie to you, saying that her brother or something. I dont get mad at this. After I finally have sex with her a couple of times, she becomes my property and I can physically remove all threats from my life and train my new fremale to breed and to have my child. MY CHILD. I really dont agree with what the muslims believe in but one thing they got right is the way women bow down to them, I respect that,...although killing and totally beating a woman up is not right. Covering her face is going a little too far also. She needs to wear a short dress and make sure she can afford breats implants. No girlfriend of mine is gonna have a chance with me unless she has at least double d's.

    Comment: After reading this entire thread. I have to admit, I had a little respect for the human race, but its all gone now. I promise I will start going to church to find myself someone that I can have sex with and for female to have my child. I will make it my goal in life to "save" a female that can bread from the church. Ill make her hate religion. Although as a evolutionist I am a very passive person, I think its the only right thing to do. I hope her parents are religious also becuase were getting married in Vegas by Elvis (Who is a real God).
