Jesus was a liberal.

Hey Zag, cut him (her?) some slack! Maybe he's a Texan.

Advocacy for death is one of the few things I will *always* take seriously.
It's the verbal equivalent of whipping out a knife.

Why do you think the abortion issue is so contentious? It's because so-called

the "pro-choicers" either don't realize it, or flatly don't believe it is
death.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Only a fool would say that a fetus does not die
in an abortion.
It simply does not matter.

Expect the "pro-lifers" to be a lot more obnoxious as a result. The
stakes are much higher for them.

When a pro-lifer says "death" the pro-choicer conveniently goes deaf.

Not at all. We simply do not dwell on the trivial.


When a pro-choicer says "it's forcing someone to suffer" the pro-lifer
conveniently goes deaf.

I keep saying that forcing someone to suffer (making them take responsibility)
for something they brought upon themselves is better than killing someone. When
I do, I can hear a pin drop. They all go deaf.

Why? No one is killed in an abortion.


When the matter is rape, my opinion swings right over to the mother, BTW. If
the mother has no responsibility in the matter, or is going to die, the whole
dynamic changes.

Respectfully, sir, one really has to be very careful about
characterizing as "obnoxious" a deep moral outrage about killing
infants in their mothers' wombs, especially when those abortions are
purely elective and occur after six months. It's pretty damned clear
what's being done at this stage of a pregnancy, and under the
circumstances it's no more obnoxious for anyone to take fierce
exception to a woman's "choice" to terminate that life as it would be
to exhibit similar rage at her abuse of her toddler child. If there's a
distinction to be made here, it's merely one of degree in that each
inhabits a different stage of life.
Neither is it germane to the argument what somebody believes, any more
than it's particularly relevant if someone, say, believes animals do
not deserve our respect and can be tortured just for the hell of it. Do
we now value the lives of domestic pets and endangered species more
than we do nascent human life in the womb? I believe we do because
there is now ample evidence for this twisted type of thinking in the
culture. In any event, over a million aborted infants a year, and a
significant percentage of those being after six months, is mute
testimony to the sad fact that we now do to human babies what we
wouldn't dream of doing to whales or dolphins. How sad.
Further, it's a given that those doing the killing, or advocating same,
will always take a *relaxed" view of what they're doing, for it's this
very attitude which defines their character and some of positions they
take on these social issues. So, under the circumstances it's not at
all surprising that those who oppose this practice will react in horror
at what is taking place. Abolitionists were also off the deep end about
slavery, too.

I think you've been misinformed. Elective abortion after the second trimester
is illegal in America. There are situations where the mother's life is at risk,
but this is hardly elective. I'll take the word of medical professionals over
the words of political radicals on the substance of the threat to the mother
any day. It's a shell game, and you've decided to play.

Medical professionals? Who? Where? What, you think these abortions are
taking place at John Hopkins, sir? Give me a freakin' break, will ya?
These abortions are taking place overwhelmingly at seedy, understaffed
and marginally-staffed abortion clinics in strip malls and any place
else they can rent space cheaply.
Furthermore, the doctors are as marginal as the patients they "serve,"
not a god-damned one of them likely telling the truth about how far
along they are, the doctor not caring in any case so long as the
"paperwork" passes muster.
This is what's being turned in by these abortion butchers, sham
paperwork, and where it's obvious they can't get around the third
trimester thing why some sham "medical reason" is dreamed up and signed
off on by the doctor. Mere emotional problems suffice here, yet another
joke. These are the kind of reliable statistics you're getting sir,
about as reliable as a casino reporting its take every day.

I've been to four different planned parenthoods with my wife over the

parenthood because they offer cheap birth control and take care of her
yearly exams, and not having health insurance, they're a lifesaver for
millions of women.

To decide is not to submit.

Not semantics. To submit completely is to give up your powers of discrimination
and your methods of resistence. As soon as you start to think, you are no
longer completely submissive.


Thinking and religion are mutually exclusive.

Thinking and faith are mutually exclusive. I agree with you. Faith is to
submit.


Problem is, many Christians seem to think this is a good thing to do in human
affairs. It is not. As a Christian, the only non-thinking submission you must
make is to God. The rest flows from that, but requires quite a bit of
deliberation.


Nope. I reject your premise. Until a god is proven to exist I reject
it as being imaginary and worthless. Along with anything and
everything some idiot tries to tie to it.

Thanks for the kind words.


Thus my belief in the duty of the faithful to discuss what they believe: to
discuss the Bible.

Faith is a bad way to deal with anything other than letting God into your life.
People have taken the experience of God, if they ever even had it, and decided
to worship Faith instead of God. I find it foolish.

Creationism has no place in a classroom and is not science. Heck, "intelligent
design" isn't science and has no place in a classroom. Science isn't about
faith and vice versa. Science belongs in a secular school and creationism
belongs in Sunday school. There is so much evidence to show that the world is
far out of sync with creationism. Genesis is metaphorical, and anyone who says
otherwise needs a good look in the mirror.

We are far from over it. In fact, IMO, it is getting worse. Witness the stark
divide in our nation. It's gotten to the point where people are carrying around
their own books of facts and refuse to believe or even accept anyone who
differs with them.
Of course, I see this as a lack of humility before God and believe humility to
be the answer.

We had the Holocaust, another pogrom, one of many
christianity has committed over nearly 2 millenia.
Blind faith is evil.

The holocaust wasn't about blind faith. It was about psychological and physical
intimidation and social Darwinism. It was also about an almost universal hatred
of the Jews. It was also about a Europe that couldn't be satisfied with victory
after WWI and decided to opress the loser in defiance of Wilson's 14 points.
It was about being mean, and there was plenty to go around. To blame faith is
either ignorant or disingenuous.

Intellectual honesty, logiocal thinking and
remorseless criticism of ignorant claims is
a duty.

I agree. But, to me, lack of remorse is forthrightness, not attack.

Otherwise we give up the world to the supperstitious,

Yup. I say there is a God and the Bible contains a map to find him. Everything
else is private. It does advocate testimony such as I have made. There is much
in the Bible that I must ignore or strive to understand but, to me, the few
moments of complete clarity are everything.
That and the translation is bad and there are testaments missing thanks to the
Catholic church. I've still found the Bible useful, but only as a means of
study, not as some kind of moral guidebook. We have Dianetics for that. ;^)
[snip, because I got tired and I think I made my point that you are not talking
to a typical Christian in my comments above]

I do care, or you would be killfiled. Christopher Lee has done nothing but call
me names and tell me I understand nothing in reply after reply, but I continue
to read. Others have clearly chosen to see a stereotype and not me, with little
hope of reversal. They conveniently disappeared through filter technology.

What you are describing is not a God, but a philosophy. Are you
suggesting that there is no God but only beliefs? If so, I agree with
you.


No. I am saying that there is a one and TRUE God, and that your *human* beliefs
determine which one you find. Belief is human, faith is divine. Beliefs can be
disproved, faith *is*. I have found faith. Whether or not I have *truly* found
faith is up to God when I die. I listen to others that seek God. Many
Christians don't even bother to look into comparative religion. I do. I don't
think Christianity is about locking yourself in a box. At the beginning of
Revelation (the most difficult of the Biblical books), John *blesses* the 7
religions of Asia. He blesses all those who seek God. I do as well.

Don't be so fucking stupid.

What you are describing is not a God, but a philosophy. Are you
suggesting that there is no God but only beliefs? If so, I agree with
you.


No. I am saying that there is a one and TRUE God, and that your *human* beliefs
determine which one you find.

That sounds to me as if you are saying there is only one god and the
name used does not matter.
Of course, this is simply a guess on your part.

Bingo. Allah is the same God as Yaweh is the same God as Yehowah is the same
god as GOD. We share that one, we're part of the Judeo-Christian faith and I
believe it when the Jews and the Muslims say they seek the same God.
I *think* (not *know*) that some of their methods are flawed and they will not
find Him until they accept Christ. I *think* (not *know*) that philosphies
outside of the Judeo-Christian tradition are lost causes.
The only thing I *know* is God. I have found him.
I think we've just made some progress in understanding dude. Praise GOD! ;^)

Your proof for that is what?


I *think* (not *know*) that some of their methods are flawed and they will not
find Him until they accept Christ. I *think* (not *know*) that philosphies
outside of the Judeo-Christian tradition are lost causes.

Of course, you have yet to prove any god is valid>


The only thing I *know* is God. I have found him.

He wasn't lost. He is drunk under my table.


I think we've just made some progress in understanding dude. Praise GOD! ;^)

That would have a little more meaning if you had proven any god
existed. Until you do, save it for someone who may care.

What you are describing is not a God, but a philosophy. Are you

you.


No. I am saying that there is a one and TRUE God, and that your *human* beliefs
determine which one you find.


That sounds to me as if you are saying there is only one god and the
name used does not matter.

Of course, this is simply a guess on your part.

Bingo. Allah is the same God as Yaweh is the same God as Yehowah is the same
god as GOD. We share that one, we're part of the Judeo-Christian faith and I

said what I meant: God, Yahweh, Yehowah, Allah. These are the same God.
Christianity brought me to where I am. I am sitting here at a computer trying

Irrelevant - it is somebody's fucking deity belief.
Yours is only special to you, in your mind.
Even though you talk past an audience that doesn't share that belief.
In the real world it is no different than all the ones listed.
Because they are ALL merely "somebody else's religious belief" -
including yours.
If you can't grasp that, or just how stupidly rude it is to talk *at*

anyway. Amusing.

You said it, I didn't. Of course, that could describe anyone who
accepts anything important with no evidence.
And that is far from every name I could find but I felt that was
enough to make my point.
There are a _lot_ of gods out there!!!


Christ is God made flesh.

Yet you can't validate either of them. How do you know this is true?

You don't have to believe me, but I'd like you to.

I will be happy to do so. Simply prove your statements.

I've said this over and over again. I must be nuts. Maybe there is something to
this belief of yours.

I have no belief as far as religion is concerned. I simply point out
that none of it is based on anything that can be proven. All is sheer
speculation built upon absolutely nothing.

OK They are not the same.
This is ridiculous - arguing about whether things that don't exist are

Unless and until at least one has been proven to exist they are all

Not happy, but satisfied that you are thinking about what I am saying. We are
both expressing our faith here, and you seem to be indicating that. There are
things we are more likely to experience faith in and others that we don't.
Mountains of evidence help. Faith is not irrelevant. God may well be, faith
isn't. Just because I've had this experience doesn't mean it's a useful one.
The *only* thing I would expect to justify *your* possible faith in God is
actual experience. I merely say that I've been there and its possible. I have
always had faith in your methods of proof because they make sense. In the case
of God, the only *proof* is personal experience. Which is why I can't proove
bupkiss.
