Abortion is not a significant issue;



Tell that to a woman forced to continue a high-risk pregnancy that resulted from a rape. I imagine she'll disagree.

As I said in another thread, for most people that might matter. But from my experience personally, she cared more about making the right decision for the child, not what some worthless politicans think.

Ridicule is hardly ever perceived in a positive light ...but sometimes it is the only option and can be a very practical tool, especially against those who use ridicule themselves in order to make a point - it's a language we understand.

...and if you think Christ never got angry and insulted anyone, then I don't think you're qualified to school us in the faith - excuse me if you feel that's condescending.

That is an example of not understanding human development and psychology.



And now the condescension.

Quote

You have to make specific decisions to put Christ first in all directions of life. Impulse and common sense generally rise in your consciousness first. Therefore, continued repentance is required and it usually is in direct opposition to immediate feelings or emotions. It is always an act of free will which direction is chosen, Christ or self.



How about trying some Christ once in a while, and not just when it meshes with your carnal desires?



I did, in my previous response to you.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

WOW! I just reread you post. I am somewhat at a loss that you would consider an explanation as condescension.

I dare not say more.

The condescending part was your usual claim that since you used to be a couselor, no one else could possible understand human psychology. You do it all the time.



You responded to the second paragraph as condescension not the first.

>How about trying some Christ once in a while

I don't think he's welcome any more. Can you imagine how long that long-haired socialist treehugger would last at a GOP convention? "Uh, security, we have an OWS protester who got through somehow . . . ."

I read it as a reply to the first paragraph.

Doesn't sound much different than a quote from you a couple days ago:
Quote

It would behove you to learn a little about the region before acting like an expert.



I don't really see the big deal here, but It is entertaining to me to see how you guys often enter/create a thread, insult people's faith and turn the discussion personal with your ad hom (just like you and quade did in this very thread) and then throw a bitch fit when called out and get a rock tossed through you glass wall...
Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Ya, and if we used our religious beliefs to dictate who you should feed, love or heal, you'd be the first to throw a tantrum.....well, maybe TK first, then you.

Uh...sport...you might want to scroll back and look at what the topic of this thread was, who started talking about what and who started casting stones.

Nice try though.

We were all attacking an idea, you and Dan started with the ad hom and made it personal...

Nice try.



Keep in mind, one of the main characteristics of a liberal is the refusal to accept personal responsibility when cornered. That is when discussion, dialogue yes, even argument starts going in all sorts of directions.

Kinda like when you don't admit that something is true (since it's against your agenda) and you will continue to believe it, even if the unbiased numbers and facts put you in a corner and prove you wrong.

Weird...... definitely sounds like an issue that just impacts liberals.

Well, he's said he only believes facts that come with a conservative bias. It's a good strategy to avoid thinking about things that make you uncomfortable. You just label inconvenient facts with the title "liberal" and you don't have to believe anything you don't want to.

Some examples:

You do not want to take any responsibility for the effects of your emissions. So you just deny that climate change is happening by calling it a "liberal conspiracy" and voila! No more troublesome data.

You do not want to accept evolution. So you just consider all the science underlying evolution as "questionable" - perhaps throw in the words "liberal" and "secular" - and voila! No more cognitive dissonance.

You do not want to take any responsibility for the effects getting knocked up. So you deny that new life is happening in your body by calling it a cyst or tumor..."the conservatives are just trying to control my vagina" and voila! no more troublesome sleep at night for destroying your progeny.

Ok, let's say everyone accepts evolution ...then what? I'll tell you what...jack shit. When it comes down to it, nobody really cares...they just leave it to the biologists to do their thing and go about more pressing issues in life.
