I don't have a church right now or know of any in my area that adhere to the RPW, but I'm staunchly in favor of it: psalms-only, no instruments etc.

As I said to Paleo, I don't want you to get the wrong idea, namely that I'm arguing a particular position in this thread, even if I play devil's advocate from time to time. That being said, it would be extremely rare for a person in your position to be able to give fair and open-minded...

Paleo, I do have my own beliefs regarding this issue, but I'm holding them in reserve for the time being, as if I were neutral, for various reasons. I don't intend to argue for or against here, just to ask questions and try to evaluate the validity of the answers generated. The only solution...

I do have some thoughts. JM, since you have already taken the step of marrying outside your race, I wish to be sensitive, because you no doubt have strong feelings about the issue, while at the same time noting that we do not appeal to mere feelings as the arbiter of truth or an objective...

LOL, people like you and crazyfingers are completely out of your gourds. Who cares? I haven't read the articles, so I don't know all the specifics of what he's doing, but seriously, it's almost unbelievable to me that if someone wants to start their own private community, which no one has to...

I'm not just talking out of my hat, unlike (I suspect) the OP and others who think Bono and others like him are Christians just because he mouths the words God and Jesus and quotes a few verses here and there. It means nothing. My information comes from the things I've read where he went into...

Interesting that the thread title says "race" and presbyterians, but then it changed to "racism". So are you looking for stuff that deals with race-relations more generally, or something else? Either way, I doubt you'll find much in the way of a fair, balanced treatment of the subject if you...

"...the Europeans in these countries wanted to enjoy the conveniences of materialism without the inconvenience of having babies. So there were not enough workers for their factories or for all the menial tasks henceforth beneath their dignity as university graduates, university degrees having...

ROFL! Oh yeah, a great victory indeed! You "Progressives" just slay me :D

Martin, if you'll forgive me, that sounds like a distinction without a difference. Political speech ok, but political platforms that "stir up racial hatred and violence" NOT ok. The problem is...who gets to decide which is which and by what criteria? The answer is invariably the government...

Of course, all of Scripture is binding on us, but elevating one particular interpretation of the exact nature and length of the creation "days" to an essential article of faith is not (in my opinion) necessary OR desireable. There is more room for exegetical maneuvering in regard to this topic...

I'm sorry, but where do people get the idea that Bozo is a Christian? He's not, anymore than Bush is. I just don't get it. In my opinion he's definitely a pompous ass, but nothing quoted above from his speech lends any weight to the assertion that he's a Christian. It's all nothing more than...

It's a relief to see a few people defending free-speech for those whom they sharply disagree with and may even hold in contempt. I applaud you, but I must say the totalitarian mindset of the majority of posters here that would say political speech that is unpopular at the moment or with which...

[SIZE=3] [/COLOR] Sorry, I didn’t mean it to sound like only those at the higher end were slaves or that they aren’t much better equipped to bear the burden than those in the middle and bottom who –you’re right- are extremely victimized. They are, but just because they may live in relative...

I don't know. Why can't any of you Catholics see the fatal logical contradiction at the heart of your religion?

Minimum wage laws are ridiculous. Real slavery is a progressive income tax that no one can get rid of and laboring under the monetary "policies" of the criminal, unconstitutional Federal Reserve.

I think that's very well stated, foundthelight and strengthinweakness. I agree completely. If one believes in six, literal 24-hour days I can see why it might be a source of some irritation to attend a church that either isn't dogmatic on the issue or takes a different view, and vice-versa, but...

I couldn't have said it better :thumbsup: It's good to know there are at least a few gals like fluffy out there. She is quite eloquent on this topic.

[/font] Yeah, ok... He became great because someone took a picture of him? Granted, the supporting cast he had in the Bulls didn't hurt, and I'm sure it did add significantly to his esteem because it would have been hard for him to win all those championships otherwise, though one might...

[/font] What are you smoking? You think a campaign by Gatorade would have the influence to make not only the average shmo, but a lot of seasoned sportswriters and other experts believe Jordan was the greatest when he wasn't? Now, I'm not one of those experts and don't even care that much about...
