You left out the REAL Jesus. The one with America's colors.
-
What myth was that? Communism did not work because it concentrated too much power into too few hands and failed to provide individual motivation.
-
Communism for all it's flaws never claimed to recognize a higher or supernatural power. It is a good demonstration that people can be misled by promises of a better life in this world without making claims of an afterlife. Not a religion.
-
The backlash against the politicians who pander to the religious right is gathering steam. Soon many "Christians" will be even more against democracy.

The FAA could not care less about skydivers and has no desire to regulate skydiving that I can see. The FAA does regulate the safety of aircraft. And the rules for commercial aircraft are somewhat stricter than those for private aircraft. When you sell people rides as a business why should you not have to maintain commercial standards?
-
But still we don't know....do Christians believe in democracy? Like all other things in a huge and deeply diverse group there is no one answer.
-
Good Lord, have you ever worked in sales?

The human race has a long history of dividing up into tribes and killing over control of resources. Sometime theology has been used as justification. But it has almost always been only one factor. We are animals and we act like animals.
-
There definitely was violent suppression aimed towards “the opioid of the masses”.
-
Okay, seals are pointless anyway. But you still need to produce the paperwork or the I&R is not valid.
-
Free speech is a wonderful thing. But that doesn't stop annoying speech from being annoying.You are far from being the worst offender. You are nowhere near making my killfile.
-
You again with the silly hostility? Life's been good to me so far. I'm sure it's the power of my god. She is awesome.
-
And yet despite the theology they seem to have organized into an admirable society. That's one of the reasons I don't really care one way or the other what a person like Jay or Ron believes. It is really no more or less a fantasy than the LDS fantasy. All I care about is how a person or group behaves. Not their beliefs, their actions. And waving their flag in my face is an offensive action if done more than once.
-
Yup, exactly as I thought.
-
Yes sure. Except that if you don't agree with them you will simply say that they are not "REAL" christians. History is full of sectarian hatred. Your nation was at least partly settled by persecuted sects. This is why your constitution forbids government sanction of religion. Are Christian Scientists Christian? Are Mormons Christian? They would say they are, would you agree?
-
If the paperwork is not done then the job is not done. You can't jump a rig without a seal and a data card filled out. Why should an aircraft get a pass? Professionals know this. Bullshit. Most nations require jump aircraft to be maintained to commercial standards. Because they are selling aircraft rides for money. The added cost on the MX is likely around 20%. That buys you compliance with outstanding SBs that commercial operators must follow. If your DZO really needs to triple the cost of jumps to comply why the hell are you riding in such poorly maintained aircraft? Chances are you are not riding in poorly maintained aircraft at all. Your DZO is grossly exaggerating.
-
Sigh.....arguing Christian theology with skydivers. No two Christians are completely in agreement with each other over theology. They are known to kill each other over it. What a waste of time.
-
There you go with the threats and condescension. Again. Your god is a weakling and no match for mine.
-
Again you are confused. I am not upset about your PA. I am happy about it because it means you are getting frustrated at being behind in the count and on the losing end of the argument. Yes, I do like scoring cheap points on Dizzy.
-
Dude, lol! As if any of your words no matter how poorly they express reality could affect me like that.
-
Belief and unbelief are best grounded in evidence. I am an unbeliever because there is no reason to believe.
-
Sounds like a PA there. Are you beginning to need nap time? Getting a little cranky?
-
Yes, and yes.
-
It came to me as soon as I read the words "gospel truth". Pretty obvious BS.
-
WTF does this even mean? Think about it.
