I would have trouble believing there is one Christian in the whole group. Yes, they are the kind of folks who give Christians a bad name. And yes, anyone who wanted not to believe would point a finger at them and say, "If that is Christianity, I don't want any part of it."

I am not your teacher. Do not presume to be mine. When I initially contributed to this thread I was under the impression that it had evolved through a desire to understand�why these fundamental extremists thought it "okay" to disrespect our fallen hero's and their families. The fallen are truly my saviors.

I did not see that there were ulterior motives, and hidden agenda's behind the initial questions. I should have known better.

I apologize for having tried to contribute to your ideology, I had no business.

That crew -- Westboro -- is wrong. Period. But just because they are wrong doesn't invalidate the Bible, God, or the Lord Jesus Christ. God is always right -- mark it down -- and he always DOES right, whether anyone including me agrees with him.

Nuff said!

Ok. Thought you might care to explain what you mean.

They are Christian in name only. Just because I say I'm a polar bear does not make me one. I must also look and act like one.

Good night sir and God bless.

jimmyp,



You need to do a lot more reading about ancient litterature.

You are a foolish person to say the person who clings to the notion that there exista a God is scared of education. I have met several Ph.D scientist who are Bible believing Christians.

You are trying to use logic and yet laws of logic demand Something trancending them: Like absolute morality. These enities are immaterial and universal and consistant with the God of the Bible. If nature were all there is, then these enities would not exist. Nature is in constant flux.

jeffdwhite,



If you read the Muslim's holy book, you will discover itis their duty to kill the infadels. If you read the New Testament you will find Jesus taught to turn the other cheek if you are struck. So if you are consistant you will understand those who claim to be Christian and harm others are not acting according to the New Testament.

i am so thankful that the Jews didn't kilt the Christ. they were innocent!

and the Islamic fundamentalists didn't even enter upon the stage until about 600 AD more or less.

Christians, as meek and mild as can be, roam the countryside, we know we are safe.

when the Muslims engage physicality in the effort to kilt the Great Satan of the West, well, now we have a dilemma, don't we?

You have a point on the literature I guess, though I am
going by hearsay on the Quran, have not read any of it.

Though I doubt that would be much comfort to the dead folks
killed by crusaders, the natives the Spanish "converted"
the pagans killed by Charlemagne, victims of various inquisitions, prot/catholic feuding, I could go on forever
with that line, but anyway it is depressing and I'd rather
move on to more pleasant thoughts. We humans do some nasty
things to each other for too many reasons.

vel, can't the Muslims and Jews fight each other over something or another? uh, i don't what exactly, but surely something?

and the Christians, inclusive of the Protestants, the Catholics, and the Baptists.

can you imagine what a Buddhist-Christian might look like? or a Hindu-Muslim-Jew? or a Christian-Native American? Get real. there's clear lines of demarcation, and we all know what they are, don't we?

The Bible condemns all of the above. Those who do them are acting completely contrary to Christian beliefs.

Sounds a lot like American cultural "spirituality" to me or what sociologist Christian Smith called "moralistic therapeutic deism" after a study he conducted of youth in "Evangelical" churches as well as the unchurched.

I'll ask this as respectfully as possible, but.... that statement implies you were trying to PURCHASE something? If that is the case, you were 100% guaranteed to be disappointed.
Hopefully I just completely misunderstood. Wouldn't be the first time.

This is an interesting thread. Sorry I missed it unitl now. TPR, not sure if you are much of a movie watcher, but I'd really recommend you watching this movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0295725/ Actually regardless of anyone's belief system (or lack there-of) I found it to be VERY interesting, even if just from a historical standpoint (American history) as well as it's obvious moral/ethic relativeness message. Warning: Despite a few big name actors, the acting is pretty bad. It 'almost' distracts from the plot/message but it is one of the very few movies I've seen that will have you REALLY thinking and hopefully appreicating some things a little more. Also VERY timely. But ironically, given the title, it's probably always timely.

I actually know a fair number of Christian Native Americans.

TPR?

I actually sort of enjoy talking to (non-militant) atheists but do you honestly find that statement non-judgemental?

OK, I did it. I read the entire 12 pages! Where's my cookie?
In regards to the OP's original question, I am reminded of a phrase... "You can put your boots in the oven, but that don't make 'em biscuts."
Oddly enough, like most all long threads that started off with a question, the OP got his answer on the first page....
