    it doesn't take any effort Speaker's Corner is the McDonald's of debate - fast, stupid, easy, and very harmful to those that partake Well stated. I came here 2 years ago with the sole purpose of posting positive Christian messages. I thought maybe one a week would be an easy goal and would stimulate my Scriptural research and study. My first post was attacked so viciously it made my heart pound. So, I changed my goal. I decided I would use SC as my personal channel for growth and therapy. That path has many, many options for me.

    I agree. That is about the best we can do. 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 always shy away from the adjective phrase "divine retribution" as it starts to sound like Karma. However, the Bible is quite clear that incidents such as the earthquakes and tsunamis of recent past, along with the strife in North Africa and Southwest Asia, are prophetic signs of the end times. How long until the return of Christ is anybody's guess but, it certainly seems as though we are speeding in that direction. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

    I'm curious about something. Have you ever had a surprise experience that made you feel exceptionally good? If yes, did you tell anyone about it or did you keep it to yourself?

    faith is belief without proof - to claim to have ANY kind of evidence is contrary to true faith if you are sincere in your belief all you should require is your personal need to believe as you do - that should suffice - cripes, it's the FOUNDATION of all the creator-based religions and there's nothing wrong with that - so I'm always confused why believers take offense at the "you can't prove it" argument. they should be proud of the strength of your convictions Amen.

    This is why religious people are so maddening. You ask them a simple question, and they never give a straight answer. If my point is not obvious enough, here it is: your personal experiences can't be taken as evidence by anybody but yourself. Stop trying to claim you have evidence of the existence of God. Just man up and admit that your faith is based on faith. It's okay, I really don't care what you believe, but to insinuate that other people are being foolish by ignoring your evidence is obnoxious. My faith is based on my spiritual study and my spiritual experience. I share what I have learned and experienced. I do not care whether you like it, accept it or hate it.

    Patience&Understandunding along with photography, motorcycling, and occasionally skydiving. That is terrific. The way I read your posts, with the arrogant condescension and profanity, I would never have thought you to be patient and understanding. Just goes to prove the inadequacy of Internet communication.

    I agree and have also found it true. Speaking of coping mechanisms, I used to use alcohol and drugs to cope with my anger. What do you use as a coping mechanism to deal with your anger?

    Yes and yes. I am not in a win/lose game. I just share the truth about Jesus Christ and my testimony. I have no vested interest in what others do. 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.

    Salvation and deliverance are repeatable experiences. You refuse to accept that truthful fact. As I stated above, if you don't need Jesus you will never see Him nor meet Him. Your level of need satisfaction is much lower and much simpler. I'm OK with that. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

    What, in your book, would constitute "proof"? I have offered personal testimony of salvation and complete deliverance from addiction. That was rejected as not real or rational. Where do you from there? Stevebabin and others have no level of acceptable proof. That is as it should be. If you really don't need Jesus you will never meet Him.

    I believe it is the single greatest tragedy in my lifetime. Although, Josef Stalin, Idi Amin, et. al. may have slaughtered more people, Hitler's atrocities against the Jewish people stand out as the most horrific. Probably, because I started reading and hearing about the Holocaust when I was 4 or 5 years old. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

    Source: http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2011/mar/10/audio-cbc-congressman-twt-terror-hearing-your-pape/ I believe the KKK is basically a fictional organization that existed in the past. We may have some white supremacists in prison and scattered around the country. That is not the same as the KKK. The KKK is a joke and is just a tool of left wing propagandists to promote discrimination. I have lived in the south practically all my life and have never met anyone promoting the KKK.

    Holy Crap! I live in the Tampa Bay Area and missed seeing this bunch. They didn't even make the local news. They are getting an all expense paid trip around the U.S. Not bad!

    I boldly choose to stand peacefully holding my Flag, facing with respect and honor, the flag draped coffin before me! When necessary I become a shield for the family of a fallen Hero while turning my back on the vilest of humanity! They're not worthy of anything more. Who am I?

    "Unfortunately"?????? FORTUNATELY - The SCOTUS decision upheld the constitution. We still have the occasional decision that follows the process. You're right, my bad, wrong word.

    Unfortunately, The SCOTUS decision was predictable. Amendment I protects those who speak what we do not want to hear. On the upside, the Patriot Guard Riders is a strong, positive, uplifting response to Westboro Baptist Church. PGR will grow stronger and WBC will sink further into degradation and ridicule. They will still have to obey local ordinances and laws concerning how close they can assemble. PGR will continue to be the buffer against their demonic forces. Current membership in the PGR, 215,000+. PGR - Keep On Keeping On and Ride Strong Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.
