Maybe it's not the root of the date or some of the traditions, but where the heart is placed that matters? I could choose to set aside October 31st to celebrate Christ's sacrifice if I wanted, and would it really make a difference if the day is set aside in true celebration of one's beliefs...

As a Christian, that builds up much of who I am and my opinions. Thus, I can not separate my Christianity from any politics I may be involved in. It is no different than an atheist or a muslim letting their religious views change what they believe in. To completely separate personal beliefs...

I honestly don't know. Sounds like a nervous reaction.

I know what I believe and what I feel comfortable placing my faith in. That's it. Any knowledge I have hoarded ofer the years is relatively insignificant. However, to say we can be certain of nothing is unreasonable. If we can be certain of nothing, then how can you be certain of the...

Anyway, All I've done is stated that I believed I was correct in my beliefs and that I disagreed with you. You think you're correct in your beliefs and you disagree with me, but I'm not calling you names. There's the difference as of now.

Havoc: my point was, if you claim to be so tolerant, why can't you tolerate me? Or can you only tolerate other tolerant people? (which is not, by definition, tolerant.)

And you're calling me a prejudiced, judgemental bigot?

Christian means literally, a follower of Christ. And Christ was a radical, a "fundie" as you would say it. These "liberal" Christians are rather, Deists. Not that's I'm bashing Deists, but deism and Christianity are not the same thing. Deism is the religion of 17th century rationalists who...

This statement, by your standards, is intolerant.

Greater Europe Mission, something I came across and I wanted to know if it was valid and if anyone had had any experiences with them, good or bad? Anyone even heard of them?

Religion is a sensitive topic with all people, not just Christians. Don't single out a group when you're talking about a human instinct. I will disagree with you if I don't believe you're right. But the point is to remember that it is a person you disagree with, not an inaminate object that...

There's is a fine line between disagreeing and bashing. I am a Christian (As most of you know) and I personally disagree with many of you on the forums. But this does not change that I love you as fellow human beings and I will treat you with the love and respect you deserve as much as I do...

Sorry Dukane, I haven't been online in forever I know! 1. Don't diss the religion because of it's followers. I know we're not all perfect, but then neither are you. Sometimes we do stupid things, like the things you described. Don't blame God for that. Blame people. Heck, blame me, I...

Just quoting scripture, y'all.

Actually, that was the second priority given by Jesus to us in the gospels. The first priority is the love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, and all your strength. All else come after the love of God.
