Chemicals


Exposure to a variety of chemical compounds in the environment have caused reproductive impairment to Florida panthers. Tests show that the differences between males and females in estradiol levels are insignificant, which suggests that males have been feminized due to chemical exposure. Feminized males are much less likely to reproduce, which represents a significant threat to a subspecies that already has a low population count and a lot of inbreeding. Chemical compounds that have created abnormalties in Florida panther reproduction include herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides such as benomyl, carbendazim, chlordecone, methoxychlor, methylmercury, fenarimol, and TCDD.[SUP][31]

See how we are destroying God's beautiful world. So sad.[/SUP]
Wow I actually never knew this. I think I remember hearing that they were going extinct when I was younger but I didn't know it was this bad :(

I read a book by Robert Kennedy Jr "Crimes against Nature".

America was once incredibly beautiful, but they, the Multinationals etc, have absolutely destroyed the natural habitat.

The legacy we are leaving to the next generation is appalling.



Love of money is the root of all evil, and part of that evil is the complete violation and desecration of the natural world that God made.

You'll be in my prayers south. I too liked worldly women in the past however as i matured in the faith over the years women who didn't love God became unattractive to me regardless of looks. As they say true beauty is only skin deep.
Thanks bro, I thank God for you. Beauty is a killer.

This world sucks man. Praise God that as His sons and daughters, we don't live for this world but we live for another.

Yes very very true.While physical beauty is still 'beauty" in it self and shouldn't be looked down upon,it can never bring into a persons life what a person REALLY needs..only an individual with a good heart can do that,their looks ultimately counts for nothing even though they can be physically attractive.Yes your dead right, an attractive person whose doesn't love god ect and manifests sinful traits automatically becomes unattractive.Yet itz a wonderful place to be able to realise this as it shows god is cleansing ones heart by and from being captivated by physical beauty..which can happen to any of us.

Who wants a sinful heart wrapped in a beautiful shell (regardless of the gender)??

Yeah man its best to avoid hanging around sinful people in general because you will pretty much disagree on everything about life. Being with a girl that does not know God is probably 10x worse.

yes I have experienced being in a relationship with a very attractive woman whose heart was sinful and she was going church but it made me doubts her salvation as she entered the ministry i was involved with and I discerned that she was a wolf in sheeps clothing.It was terrible..she had such an evil heart towards me and the whole experience truly broke me...and it took a good few years to get over her because my heart had been truly captivated by her physical beauty,it truly was.

Yet through this god has taught me how the enemies uses physical beauty to either trap/destroy men who are not aware of what's really going on.
I guess the moral of the story..we need god to protect us from being unequally yoked 1) with a person who isn't a christian 2)some one who in church but is totally unsuitable for you.

The only thing I know about Florida Panthers is they are a professional ice hockey team based out of Miami. One of my sons tried out for them when he was playing pro, but didn't stay!

As far as the girl there is nothing wrong with being in love, but there is something wrong with being in love with a non-Christian.
You will be yoked unevenly towards each other, with unbeliever and you never know if she will change!

There is missionary dating, in which the saved person moves towards Christ. If they get saved, then a long engagement for her to learn and grow as a disciple and you are ready to marry as Christians.

I wonder if you would consider yourself obsessed with her? I dealt a lot with that when I was your age. For me, it was because I had such a troubled childhood and was subconsciously looking for someone to make up for a great vacuum I had in myself. I needed healthy relationships and needed to grow socially and emotionally.

I wonder if maybe you are stuck on this girl not because of who or what she is but because of what she represents to you; acceptance, approval, external affirmation, and the like.

These are just some random thoughts. I am not saying this is the cause of your problem.

But, I am convinced that we all need healthy emotional relationships. ("It is not good for man to be alone.") If you are lacking in close friendships, your interest in her could be overwhelming.

Get out and do things with other people. Keep busy socially and in church so you don't have as much time to obsess over her. Find your joy in who you are, what you do and in your relationship with Jesus. This will overshadow your constant thinking about her. Find some people to serve. Your compassion for them will overshadow your interest in her.

Would've been great to see your son play on TV!! How long ago was this? And yes it is a dream of mine to marry a girl that is obsessed with Jesus Christ so that we can do the things of God together.

Yes bro I think this is probably what's happening. This girl's beauty is probably just a trap.

Sometimes I think I'm obsessed with her but I'm sure its just the enemy messing with my mind. Truth is I don't want to be with a girl that God doesn't want me to be with and I'm in no position to have a girl now. Brother, I do lack in close relationships I am a very lonely person :( . I'm sad like everyday.

Dont be sad... be GLAD! You were created in his image to do his works.

Be happy and proud of how far you have come in life... you are young... there are so many things that COULD trap you.. but you have your focus on the lord And that alone is for sure praise worthy! Be proud of yourself for not getting caught up with the things the younger generation are doing... and be overjoyed and excited that you have your eyes only for the Lord.. and nothing else :)

May I respectfully suggest that you work on that part of your life instead of obsessing over a non-Christian?

Perhaps it is worth repeating:

I have no church to go to and pretty much lost all my friends (my own fault). I have to pray to God and read the bible more. I need to get better at praying without ceasing 1 Thessalonians 5:17.
