It's obviously Obama building an underground world from which he can oversee the Socialisation and Muslimisation of the ENTIRE FREE WORLD.

NPR and the Economist for me. I'm moderate.

Love them without an agenda, genuinely listen to them and give thought to their opinions.

Wait. Seriously?

Doesn't one have to be unreasonable to be religious though? I mean the entire concept of 'having faith' is believing in something you can't see. Which is unreasonable. Why is it a bad thing to be called an enemy of reason? I am a Christian, and I do not disagree with much of what Dawkins says.

The only time I can see murder (or killing, at least) being Biblical is when God specifically mandates it. And I am pretty sure that God did not tell Obama to kill Osama. I mean hell, maybe he did. But I would be surprised. Either way, I do not think we should ever rejoice in the death of a...

The truth is important to me. I am not set in my ways if my ways are shown wrong or illogical or stupid...so if you could do that with my points, I'd love it, as it would mean that I'd be closer to the truth. :-)

John Jay, would you care to respond to the points I raised, in response to you? I would love to see what you think. :-)

And what will they be if they follow him in that command, and take what he tells them to take on that journey? They will be poor. Right? Or does the idea of having nothing in your possession but a robe and a staff sound wealthy to you? "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth...

1. The first verse has to do with voluntary poverty because Jesus is commanding his disciples to be materially poor. You said something like "voluntary poverty is not in the Bible"...I was showing you a place where it was. 2. I am not arguing that you need to be poor to be a Christian...

I do not think there is any way to dress "Christian" or "not Christian".

Doesn't the truth ALWAYS serve a purpose...since it is...TRUTH? (I also really liked the OP story :-))

Tulc, when is outright lying to your children ever a good thing?

I like that, Growing Smaller. Although I doubt most creationists/IDers would support creationism being shown in a 'bad' light in a science classroom.

Those passages I quote where Jesus tells his disciples to "take nothing but a cloak and a staff" on their missionary journeys? That fact that Jesus himself did nothing to accrue worldly wealth? The Rich young ruler? Need I quote more?

I can not believe that somebody would argue that voluntary poverty is anything but good. Are we reading the same Bible? Jesus commands his disciples to go from city to city, carrying nothing with them but a robe and a staff. Sounds pretty poor to me. Jesus told the rich young ruler "sell all...

Okay. Saying "we generally should not lie to our children" is not the same thing as saying "we should expose our children to all the cold, dark evils in the world as early as we can". It is possible to be sensitive to our children's needs, and tell them the truth about things. It takes more...

None. Which obviously means you should automatically disregard what I say, if I disagree with you. Right?

Because it is harmful to them, and to your relationship with them.

Nah, I've been around internet forums for quite a while. I was a moderator on the biggest Star Wars message board, for a couple years. I get that topics are broad, and that threads usually diverge off the topic and stuff I am simply commenting on the fact that in this thread, this issue has...
