You asked no questions, crowfarm, you only made grandious accusations about why you believe what you believe. Now, if you have something sensible to ask, I may justify it with an answer. But why don't you go to the thread I started, and answer the questions there. Or is Q&A a one way street with you?
In Christ,
Rick
Luke 12:48
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I do not accept His claim to be God." That is one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic....or else he would be the devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

You made no points, crowfarm. Only accusations, which neither deserve nor require a reply. If you wish to re-phrase what you have written, and also wish to answer my questions as well, then we can commence to dialog together.
In Christ,
Rick

That's not "what I'm saying". You don't seem to understand the meaning of the words "private morality" and its realtionship to "public policy", which have nothing to do with one's opinions and beliefs as they may relate to public polls.
What do we need him for then? Just let the pollsters run everything.
We need Kerry to straightem out the mess the Bushtards have our country in.
The President's morality should be the REASON for electing him, not an irrelevant side-issue!
We should never elect a president who will impute his private morality upon public policy. Not only is it dangerous, but it also in most cases offends our Constitution.

Christian, I enjoy your posts. It is sad that there are several on this board that will not even begin to open up there hearts to accept Jesus. This comes after many years of being hard hearted. God works in mysterious ways so you never know what might be in the future for them. I have seen changes in many people over the years that I did not think was possible.

crowfarm,
I agree with all of your description of what being a christian is all about. You are exactly right.
bootclan,
Your posting this comment, begin to open up there hearts to accept Jesus. makes crowfarm's post correct. You seem to believe that EVERYBODY is of the christian faith. That is NOT true.
But of course, this is something the RR will NEVER ACCEPT. I am sure that they understand this could be true, but in their arrogant, controlling ways they will never accept it. It is their goal to convert everyone to their lifestyle.
Anyone in this country can practice religion 24 hours a day if they want to. I don't care. What I do care about is when they shove it down my throat. Their rights END where mine BEGIN.
Bigots are miserable people. Prevent Bigotry through Education.

CC you know why crowfarm is bitter because she lost 9% of her salary and the mayor of St. Paul is voting republican. (he is democrat) He saw the light. Crowfarm I thought you said there were teachers in your family. Aren't they taking taxpayer money? CC You are right she is a bitter vindictive person who comes in here sprewing her venum. Linda is smart as I am sure crowfarm is on ignore and I think we can to the same then crowfarm can talk to herself and maggie answer her stupid ideas.
Yeager you said: Anyone in this country can practice religion 24 hours a day if they want to. I don't care. What I do care about is when they shove it down my throat. Their rights END where mine BEGIN.
Well you are trying to shove Gay Rights down everyone throats also. So it is okay for you to do this?
Get over it. Religion is here to stay and when it is gone there will be no earth. Now religion is Islam, Jewish, Christianity etc. I have no problem with people have different religion than myself as it is their right.

Libra, once and for all it's "spewing venom".
And what did your post just do????
You must be very bitter indeed to keep bringing up past posts which have nothing to do with this thread at all and then doing some "expert" phychoanalysis. When did you get your degree?
Ok, fair's fair.....my analysis of you is a senille old broad with a too tight girdle, antiquated ideas from the 50's, narrow-vision and not much education who has the point of any thread go so far over her head it's laughable.
See, I can look in to a crystal ball, too, just like you and that cc religious freak and analize you from your rather illiterate posts.
PS, what has teacher's pay got to do with this thread?

In the 1950's, rock and roll was considered Nigger music, and Elvis was considered to be an evil, out of control sinner. It's pretty innocent by today's standards. But in the 50's it was considered horrible.

Well being a product of the 50's most found the music within their liking. They got away from the slow dancing and started the jitterbug. I have NEVER heard that rock and roll was called that. In fact where I was from the word Nigger was never said.

No, Libra, wrong as usual. Bigots are not the only people who use the word "nigger". Historians do, people talking about the atrocities of the past do. It is a real word, and was, unfortunately, part of America.

"A lot of the ideas in the 50's sure beat today thats for sure.
Racial segregation ?
Treating women as second class citizens ?
Black Listing of many artists ?
McCarthyism ?
I can't think of any "ideas" from the 50's that beat anything today nor have much relevance at all."
Actually your points #3 and #4 are essentially the same thing.
Those were simpler, better times. Or at least popular mythology would indicate so... I was around then. But since you are making lists, here are some for modern times.
Drive-by shootings
crack houses
cop-killer music on the radio
rampant homosexuality & pedophilia
terrorism
political correctness
just to name a few easy ones. Things are not necessarily better in every way.

Nice list replay...
yeager says no one is shoving homosexual marriage down anyone's throat? That is laughable at best... the mayor of SF shoved it down the good people of CA's throats, the city council of Portland OR shoved it down the good people Portland's throats... the good people of MA are living with having it shoved down their throat...how many other places did this illegal activity take place?
It is being stopped in many states now... so yes I can agree that in MO, La, it won't be shoved down anyone's throat...
People are becoming more religious as time goes on, that is part of the changing America the left screams about... well yes it is changing but I guess it is not changing the way you want it.
KD consistently discounts anyone's ideas that are not her own... and she says the same about me, guess she would know.

It's amazing how certain people color the world by what THEY see. I was once told,what ever is in the well will come up in the bucket.
