This thread is dedicated to the upcoming sermon competition. The three judges selected are FMF, karoly aczel, and yo its me. The three of you can now commence the discussion to decide what the topic shall be and will be given until 9/11 as a deadline to decide. Then another thread will be created for the sermons to be delivered. If one of the judges does not respond, then we will proceed without them.

Go!!

*Anti-violence (perhaps you guys got a better term for it)
*The practical benefits of theism/christianity (whatever you think is best)
*Wisdom
*"right" Meditation

..this is just to kick off, if you guys dont like these I'll come up with some more.
I'm really not sure what flavour to give these sermon topics but I guess there should be some theist topics (?)

"What is the purpose of worship?"

So you think that by making a suggestion, as requested, I was trying to sidestep you and yo it's me?

Wow.
You think that's too complex or will the sermonites like a more simple subject?

" - 'I fed the poor, they called me a saint; I asked why they were poor, they called me a Communist.' - At what cost does religion involve itself and disassociate itself from politics?"

It's an absolutely meat and veg, day to day, on the ground, religious and/or spiritual issue for ordinary folk in certain countries. Too complex?

My cup runs over, with what?
