Ahhhhhh....riiiiight. You do realize that's impossible, since there are only 195 soverign nations on the planet at the moment, and that's only if you count Vatican City.

Burning The Satanic Bible, The Communist Manifesto, and Mein Kampf would be pointless. You can't burn ideas. Even attempting to do so would actually promote the propogation of the very ideas you are attempting to repress. Books can be martyrs, too, and you can't fight a martyr. And even if you...

I find myself having a difficult time taking Happydance seriously. Dude, look up what an "article" is. There are only three of them, and their use makes you sound more intelligent. Also, try looking up "subject-verb agreement," and, in fact, "verbs." I'm not trying to be mean, even though...

"...when you catch a cold, because of you once where confronted with the insight that you where freezing, leads to the insight that you are sick and needs penicelin..." Atrocious spelling and grammar aside, are you aware of the fact that catching a "cold" is unrelated to actually being cold...

Actually, a surprising number of people over on FSTDT are Christians themselves. It is true that there are people there that spout hatered and venom at anything or anyone that goes against what they hold to be true, but the same could be said of this site, as well. The only way to get a...

How can both the Jews and the Christians be correct? The Christian faith is based on the salvation provided to mankind by the sacrifice of His only son, Jesus Christ, for the remission of sin. The Jewish church denies absolutely that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, the Son of God. How can they...

Why would you support the Jewish faith? Based on your posts you are vehemently pro-Christian, right? You believe that the Christian faith is the only true faith and all others are false, flawed, and dangerous doctrines, right? So why would you support the free expression of the Jewish faith...

My wife and I married in our late 30's. She has certain medical conditions that would make bearing a child physicaly hazardous for her. I teach at a private Christian school and don't make much money, and my wife, as a freelance actress, has a sporadic income. We are happy and healthy and...

Please don't think I was trying to be flippant or combative, I was merely talking about the definition of adultery that is common in Christian theological circles in the United States. I was not attempting to redefine the word or establish a "valid" meaning. I have been working in Christian...

Respectuflly, this is not how "adultery" is Biblically defined. Strictly speaking, it is Biblically defined as "sexual activity between two persons who are not married to each other." The Biblical definition makes no requirement for one of the people to be married. Technically two unmarried...

While I will not debate whether or not homosexuality is specificied in the Bible as not being pleasing to God, your logic is seriously flawed. By your logic here, homosexual sex is only a sin because it is extramarital. Since in our modern society, marriages are sanctioned by the state, this...

Well, the likely answer is that you should do it because you have made a claim that is in opposition to all currently presented evidence. If you want that claim to be taken seriously, it rests on your shoulders to provide counter-evidence. While it is true that Wikipedia is at best a dubious...

Well, Chris, you posted it under your own name without any citation of origin, clearly implying that you did write it. That makes you at best careless and at worst a blatant plagarist. How can I seriously consider your posts when I have no idea if the writing is even yours?:confused: :confused:

How exactly is my screen name a "lie?" And if you are referring to my post as being a lie, your rhetoric and skill at debate astonishes me.

While I would agree that the "Son" is, in fact, the center of the Universe, the idea that the "sun" is the center of the Universe is frankly idiotic. There are, after all, a few advantages to living in a scientifically advanced era.

All sin is disobedience to God. That is, after all, what makes it a sin in the first place. Why is murder a sin? Because God declared it to be so. Why is covetousness a sin? Because God declared it to be so. Sin is disobedience, and in God's eyes, all sin is equal. There are not different...

I do not rejoice in the death of any human being, no matter who that human being may have been. It's that simple. I have friends who are already making jokes about Saddam's execution, and become quite irritated with me when I do not join their laughter. Saddam may have brought this upon...

Well, any behavior can be "cured" if you define "cured" as "no longer engaged in the behavior." Enough negative conditioning can "cure" darn near anything, although we usually call doing that to an unwilling or unaware subject "brainwashing." In reality, "brainwashing" is just enforced behavior...

Aside from the fact that, as a Semmite, Jesus himself had distinctly Arabic features, racism has no place in a Christian's heart. Even as a joke.

It's safe and comfortable to say "majority rules" when you are firmly in the majority. But what happens when you are not in the majority? There are a lot of nations in the world where Christians are in the minority. Should we support the legislative repression of their faith? After all...
