i'm your worst nightmare now shall i call you names as you are so fond of doing to others - or are you going to grow up and debate like an adult? you should back out now mate as you've lost this round... Nightmare? No way. Winning or losing in this venue is in the mind of the beholder only. Debate only holds significance if it actually accomplishes something.

well you're definitely tackling the player and not the ball - stick to the topic please... The U.S. should support Israel's right to survive based on Truman's pledge in 1948. They are fighting for survival. They are our allies. Quade has stated that the presidential pledge is of little consequence. Billvon seems to think the same and justifies his position on our earlier support of Saddam Hussein. I do not agree with either one. However, quade's mind bounces around like a BB in boxcar, much the same as several other adolescent, liberal, socialist minded posters in this forum. Now, where do you think you fit?

You need to spend some time under the tutelage of billvon or Andy9o8. Although I disagree with them frequently, I respect them and their opinions because they are based on conviction and principle. They have a center point upon which they can remain focused. You, on the other hand, are a typical intellectualizing liberal, not really very intelligent but having the capability of forming rapid mental associations. You state these mental connections without any real foundation. Consequently, when you get called on principle, your only defense is denial. You are not able to recall your position because it is not based on anything other than your own ego. My father used to play professional baseball, for the Cincinnati Reds, during the 1930's. It was common practice in those days for the players to sharpen their spikes. Do you think they did that to play the ball or the player? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Israel is the Keystone of Western Civilization. Israel must not fall... I will explain. UN Resolution 242 - 11.22.1967 Israel's Critical Security Needs for a Viable Peace http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytWmPqY8TE0 No... he wasn't. And he slapped our strongest ally in the face. Not only what he said... but how, and when he said it. You are absolutely correct. President Harry Truman pledged U.S. support to Israel in 1948. Quade had stated in the past that he thinks the pledge should be a do over. He has ZERO points on my scoreboard. Maybe he will see things more clearly after he turns 30.

Joe Bastardi stated on TV tonight that the extreme WX is related to significant cooling in the upper layers of the atmosphere as it clashes with the warmer levels of the lower atmosphere.

I forgive you, but I will never forget. You showed your true colors, and exactly what i would expect from a right-wing Christian zealot,.... And, I'm OK with that.

John 20:23 " If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained." I forgive you. Go and sin no more. Someone is watching.

So the guards at Dachau were following Christian teachings? The Iraqi soldiers who deployed chemical weapons against Kurdish civilians were following Christian teachings? Iranian soldiers shooting into unarmed crowds of pro-democracy protestors were following christian teachings while the protestors themselves weren't? Rabbit, that is a ridiculous response.

As a loyal American who served in the military I am obligated to report what I consider traitorous behavior. Traitorous behavior requires subversive reporting, in order to be effective. What the authority does with the report is not my business. You received a heads-up which you interpreted as a cover. I interpreted the message as, be careful you are now a blip in the radar. Who knows which is correct? I don't. 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.

Your oft used phrase, "You Christians can shut the fuck up." You post this for many topics other than religion in government. If you are going rag on me, my user name is RonD1120. I have stated that the military is ordered to kill the declared enemy. As a Christian I can do that because the Bible instructs us to follow the law of the government. See Romans in the NT. As a Christian I can also kill someone who threatens the safety of me or my family. That is called survival. Show me where I have gone on a rant about killing people in the name of God. What sends me into a rant is someone who comes into my house uninvited with muddy feet and then pisses in the corner and tells me he doesn't like the way I run my house. That is an analogy in American vernacular. Comprendo? 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.

I realize that, if a junkie offers me heroin, it is the nicest thing he can do. The smack is what makes life for him worthwhile, and the day to day indignities tolerable. It does not dawn upon the junkie that becoming like him is a truly repellent prospect. "You're just jealous, since I got the dope and you don't." "Thanks, but you can have mine." As crutches go, religion has a lot less to recommend it than narcotics or alcohol. Going from one disease of denial to another is hardly admirable. BSBD, Winsor In all the years I worked with those folks diagnosed co-occurring substance use disorder, I never once found an addict who believed his addiction to be good fortune. Furthermore, addicts do not share their drug of choice easily. Your analogy is weak, probably due to your lack of understanding of the subject. To state your belief that religion has less to offer than narcotics or alcohol is grossly ignorant and just plain silly. You must have been tired when you responded to me. Your razor sharp wit appears dulled. Please do not allow yourself to slip into the same category as the other nitwits. On the other hand, my description of human motivation is right on target. I used your words back at you and left you without adequate defense. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Today, as I was riding my bike north on I-75 heading for a PGR mission, I was thinking this world is just a stop over on the journey. For me it has been like a spiritual theme park.

yep, i am soooo disappointed. I am living the dream doing what i love best. i have more friends than any human could ask for. I will die today, or I will die tomorrow, and I will die happy and complete. And you think i am disappointed. Well, i am REALLY BROKEN UP about what you think of me Ron. some great stuff here.... http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.224852660873502.76544.153786011313501 You are truly blessed. I believe that. However, you have stated over and over that it all falls apart as soon as you leave SDC and venture into the community. There you have to march where everyone is out of step but you.

Socrates is correct. We can only see ourselves in others. That is what draws you into these arguments. You know that we have something that you don't have. Something in you desires it and fights against it at the same time. It is called cognitive dissonance. It bothers you and yet you are not able to accept the resolution. Therefore, you project your internal conflict outward and try to change us from catalyst to cause. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

I agree. It seems that the intellectual elite, the believers in nothing, are afraid to allow their emotions, other than anger, to manifest. They are afraid to experience the love of God. They do not know how they will handle it. It is scary for them, emotionally crippled indeed. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

That's fine, but I kinda like how the atheists dominate the creation of religious threads here in SC...it's a beautiful harmonic of irony against their notion of us shoving our beliefs down their throat. The bottom line is that if we continue to discuss our faith in these forum, we will have to be all the more dilligent to pass the faithful test against antagonism.

I had the same revelation after reading kallend's post on scientific proof being ineffective. What if we started threads on applied theology? Discuss how our faith and belief helps us live life on life's terms. How it shows us how to take personal responsibility. Just a thought. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
