    Does God Love People Who Go To Hell?

    This discussion reminds me of a parent that has a child that is making all the wrong choices. The parent will constantly tell the child how to correct his path in life, but the child refuses to listen and takes the destructive path. In this case, the parent would still love the child even...

    President Obama to banks: "We want our money back, and we're gonna get it!"

    From the article: "The 10-year assessment on bank liabilities—dubbed the Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee—would fall most heavily on the nation's top six banking companies: Citigroup Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley and Wells...

    The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage

    This is why Conservative Christians will never be in agreement with other groups on this issue. My post simply stated my opinion on why I oppose gay marriage and why I vote the way I do on it. People vote for all kinds of different reasons. My reason is shaped by my theology. So anyone...

    Jack Cafferty calls Nancy Pelosi a "horrible woman"

    I would not say either. I do not know her personally. I would say she is a horrible Speaker of the House/Congresswoman.

    The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage

    I realize that and agree with it. But there is an exception with the ballot propositions in some states. (i.e. Prop 8 in California)

    The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage

    This is the issue that gets to me. I do not agree that hospitals should be able to exclude anyone that a dying person wants present in their room. I think it is cruel to not allow loved ones present in a hospital room to comfort someone. But, I do not think marriage is the answer to...

    The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage

    I do not think my opinion trumps anything. I do not believe I said it did. It is just my opinion and I have a right to it. You should respect that right even if you disagree with me. I respect your right to an opinion. What you see as an empty threat I see as reality. Sorry we do not...

    The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage

    I am sorry you seem to think my answer was not honest. I do not feel that homosexuality is worse than other sins. As far as marriage goes. . . The Bible does not relate gluttony or liars to marriage that I am aware of. So, I will not either. But it does talk about man and woman being...

    The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage

    OK . . .I am conservative and I will tell you why I am opposed to same sex marriage. Let me say to start - I really do not care what others do in their personal lives. It is between them and God. I am not their judge. Homosexuality (in my eyes) is a sin as any other - no worse than any...

    What are your feelings on CCM (or contemporary music, in general)?

    I like Christian contemporary music. I listen to it everyday and my church sings it during worship time. They also throw in the old hymns on occasion. As long as the songs do not contain anything "unbiblical" I do not see a problem with it for worship. Worship is personal between the...

    Grading Obama's freshman year

    I gave him an F, but now I am thinking that was too harsh. I think he made a good choice for the White House dog. I also like his girls. They are adorable. He had to do something right. As far as his job as President . . . This spending has to stop. We cannot afford it. I cannot afford it...

    More school: Obama would curtail summer vacation

    This is very true. I agree with this as well. Obama is entitled to his opinion, but he does not really have any power over the state schools. I guess he could tie federal funding to the amount of school day. I remember during his acceptance speech he talked about teachers pay being too low...

    do you want obama to succeed?

    I feel like the questions is a "trap". (If I do not want Obama to succeed I am unpatriotic.) I want America to succeed. I want America to thrive as a free Republic. I want America to succeed as a capitalist society. I want the American people to succeed by working hard and fighting for...

    Is a complete collapse imminent?

    Which law states that the entire Western Hemisphere is "our domain." I have not heard that before. And, if it is in the USA laws, just because someone says it, does not make it true.
