Posted on February 25, 2012 at 9:24pmThe times are coming or maybe they are here, when they will kill Christians and pat each other on the back, thinking they are doing God a favor… this type of thing can not forever remain an item of the 3rd world, and will/must come to this hemisphere, and to this nation…

Posted on February 25, 2012 at 4:04amThe only way to prove that Islam (the religion, though part of their culture and ideology) is to challenge them on their “tolerance” and “peaceful religion” is to get a building permit to open a pig and poultry store on one side of the grand Mosque and armory for their AKs and a gay bar on the other. Then we shall see how tolerant these ******** are. Look at it from another angle, Islam is to peace what Adolph Hitler was to B’Nai Brith. Islam is NOT made for a democracy, it is made for hypocrisy!

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 1:28pmWhen I think of Judeo/Christaini laws I think of the “God given right’s” that our Constitution outlines…..there are alot of people here that equate Christianity with Islam and bring out quotes from the bible as proof that Joseph Stalin was correct “religion is the opiate of the masses”….all of you athiests taking your time to bash ALL religions as bad should look in the mirror and ask yourself “why am I here”……I am not a bible quoter and will try my hardest NOT to use a quote to justify how I think but, tell me why the Ten Commandments are bad as a basis for law? Which ones do you NOT like……there should be limits to how people act in a society if not go live with the gorrilas in the mist!!!! Even they live by a set of rules too….

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 10:28pmThis is moronic, but I’ll bite.
Report Post »1) Thou shalt have no other gods before me. – Which God? Catholic? Protestant? Mormon? Quaker? Islamic? Hindu? – So, if this was law, you are outlawing all other religions. Who gets to decide? You are creating a theocracy, the very thing we created this country to evade.
2) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth- All crosses are illegal, immediately. All pictures of Jesus are illegal. All churches are illegal as they have crosses everywhere. Good job. You just outlawed nearly every church and over half of the country who wears crosses. We are only on 2, and look at what you have done. Did you even think about this before you posted your idiotic statement?
2b) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me – Sounds to me like God is less grown up than your 3rd grader. Didn’t he learn to not be jealous in kindegarten?
3) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain – You just made the Constitution illegal and null as it allows Freedom of Speech. You just outlawed words.
4) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy – The Super Bowl is now illegal. So is McDonal

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 10:31pmWe only hit 4 and you destroyed the country in seconds. Tell me, did you even put in the effort to KNOW THE COMMANDMENTS before you posted? Are you seriously THAT LAZY? So, if someone goes to your house, breaks in with an axe, and slaughters your dog….what happens? Nothing of the like is listed in your commandments. Should that be illegal too? Well, then what? It isn’t in there. You can think of thousands of instances that don’t apply.
Report Post »SO TELL ME, how do you explain yourself now? I ask you again…are you just that lazy that you didn’t even think, didn’t even know the commandments before you posted that we should base our laws on them? Dude, put in some effort.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 12:02pmSo, I am curious. Which principles from the Bible would you like the country to be governed by? We’ll skip the entire argument about this country being founded on the principle of avoiding a theocracy, and the moronic idea that we would want to go back to it, particularly the modern evangelical Christianity, which bears little resemblance to Christianity. Which principles? The New Testament law of love each other? How is that? You conservatives are the least loving people in this country. Unless people believe EXACTLY what you believe, you call them the worst things you can think of and want to strip their rights. Is it the Old Testament laws? Which ones? The ones where you can’t touch or speak to a woman while on her period? Not wearing blended fabrics? What about the ones where God commands the babies to be ripped from pregnant women and bash against rocks? That one? What about the ones where a woman gets married but isn’t a virgin so she gets stoned to death in front of her father? That one? Get real. By wanting our country to be governed by Biblical principles, you simply show that you don’t know your own religion.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 12:59pmHey, Texasbeta, . . . one of those you mentioned is potentially a source of happiness, though.
But yeah, I have to wonder what laws our based upon biblical laws. But that may be for another topic.
This one is sad. . . just another example of what happens in holy wars. One group who chooses to believe a 6th century man, . . . who believed Ishmael was the one with the true birthright, . . . all based upon ancient holy texts that are copies of copies from unknown authors created in bronze age Palestine. Yet, they take this one guy’s word that he WAS visited by an angel, . . . and have no hesitation to kill those who don’t agree. In some ways, . . . SO many people on this world are questionally “more advanced” than those days of old.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 10:21pmDefendingFaith- Over-educated? So, what you are saying by that is I have too much knowledge on the subject. You are defending ignorance, literally. You do realize that right? The translation can be, “the less you think, and the less you know, the easier it is to believe.” This is, I believe, correct when dealing with all religions. It is surprising though, that you would so blatantly represent yourself as a defender of ignorance, lack of information, and considering it a virtue. Comical, but not surprising.
Report Post »Again, nobody answered the question. Is that because you don’t have the knowledge to answer? Come on, you are the Christians. This is your gig. You say you want something, so explain it. What biblical laws are you referring to that you want our country to be run by? Do you get to pick and choose? Are you wanting Old or New? How are you going to regulate “love one another even as I have loved you?” Do you mean the commandments only? If so, several deal with false idols, coveting thy neighbor’s wife, etc. Those too? If so, what defines a false idol and who gets to define it? This is YOUR topic. You want it, so get off of your keesters and think for once? Actually think about what you proclaim you want and come back to me if it is viable.

Posted on February 23, 2012 at 9:49amTexasBeta, . . . good post, indeed. I was amazed that someone would have posted what he did, as well. To say that a person is “overeducated”, . . . and make it a BAD thing when it comes to religion, . . . but I bet you he would want the MOST educated person working on his heart, along with the other surgical team members, . . . and the smartest inventors of life saving equipment and drugs/meds during and after the operation.
However, he has wimped out of the debate with the absurd “don’t cast your perils before swine” comment. That is christianese for “I cannot debate you because I have no leg to stand on, therefore, I will smuggly, and in my high and mighty righteousness, call names and end the debate with Jesus smiling down on me with thumb raised.”
I am most interested in which laws he thinks came from his bible. AND, which ones are not . . . and why.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 8:04amI think it was Jesus who said, let common sense prevail in all of your life and you will rock your socks off in heaven with me. Common sense guys. It is that thing that you feel inside. It is that thing that is part of your soul. Listen to it. God is talking to you and telling you to use your common sense. It is as powerful of a force as anything you feel in your heart and in your mind. It trumps all the words in the bible.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 7:12amIslam is not a religion but is rather a cult of murder, mayhem, abuse and pedophilia. Iran is the perfect islamifacist state and what you see occuring there is what is intended for all of us. As a cult, islam’s cult follower, the muslim, is deserving of neither our respect nor our tolerance and we are under no obligatioin to make accomodations for them. Whether these cultists are individuals in our own country or the population of another country, we need to recognize the threat to our very being that they pose. They are directed by their “allah” through their imams to do murder. They are directed by their “allah” through their imams to do slaughter. They are directed by their “allah” through their imams and with the inspiration of their prophet, Muhammad, to commit acts of pedophilia. Their can be no reconciliation with stone-age cultists who believe that anyone who preaches the gospel of Christ should be executed. They must be isolated and shunned and if they commit crimes here in the US, they must be vigorously prosecuted and deported to a land more consistent with their cult beliefs.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 11:55amHave you ever looked up the definition of a cult? Obviously not.
Report Post »I don’t like any religion, but let’s take a look at your perspective. Catholics have had institutional child rape for decades, which they have endorsed by their practice of hiding it, no reporting it, and covering it up. So, does Christianity endorse pedophilia? Murder? Protestants murdered thousands of Mormons for being different. The Puritans burned entire towns of Quakers here in America. Protestants and Catholics have been murdering each other for decades in Ireland. The Bible itself, has incidents of God commanding genocide of entire peoples for believing differently. So, is Christianity a religion of murder? We can go on and on, but the point is…use logic. I know you won’t, but at least this is addressed.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 1:58amLet‘s consider Obama’s words: He is arrogant and very prideful. And has no problem with lying, and does so every time he speaks. When we ask GOD to save us, and Jesus comes and the Holy Spirit begins the ongoing transformation within us, His awesome love He shows us all the time we see how weak we are and we need the Lord it’s hard to stay arrogant. IF you’re truly saved.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 1:02amOur CIC professes himself to be a Christian. I’ve heard him publicly scorn the Bible in a speech, asserting that governing by Biblical principles is silly, then turn around and in two other speeches remind his audience that “The holy Q’uran teaches us…” No one should take him seriously when he claims a faith that he doesn’t live: he’s stolen millions out of the public treasury for his many, many vacations (vacations from WHAT? – he’s certainly not doing the job he was elected to do and is being paid to do) and, as in this video, he’s openly supporting his Muslim brothers (that’s what Muslim leaders call him) as they, year after year, slaughter his professed Christian brothers and sisters. Jesus and His apostles are very clear as to what a follower of Jesus looks like. Join us as we pray for our deceived president. If he continues his masquerade much longer, he will reap according to what he’s sown, as will we all.
