I hope you're not referring to me with that statement, because: 1: As can be clearly seen (unless the icon has mysteriously vanished again), I'm Lutheran, not "fundamentalist". 2: "Alliance" means two parties working together towards a common goal. That concept has not been mentioned at all...

A nice little god you have constructed for yourself - one that very much fits with human natural morality and tendencies. Quite pharisaic, actually. However - there is no basis for this construction in the Gospels, or in the Scriptures at large. There is NO other way to heaven than Jesus - the...

He said that he and the Father is "one", clearly playing at the "YHWH Echad"-statement from Deut 6,4-5. Not counting the countless times where Jesus uses the "Ἐγώ εἰμι."-formula which in the LXX is what YHWH uses when speaking about Himself. There is no...

No, it isn't. There is no "evidence" here. There is, however, logic, and logic supports my position: X and not-X cannot both be true at the same time. No, they're not. They are contradictory, therefore one, or both, must necessarily be false. I agree wholeheartedly with this! But I don't...

If the police tells you to freeze, you freakin' DO! Or you are repsonsible for the consequences.

None of the above, changes the fact that two opposite claims cannot both be true. Jesus cannot BOTH be God Incarnate, AND "just a prophet, who was only human". It is either-or (or neither). Only ONE claim (and call it what you want, it IS claims we're talking about) can corrospond to reality.

Be careful. He's setting some kind of rhetorical trap for you, and you just stepped right into it.

I'm not saying you ACTUALLY do; I'm saying that those two options are the only logical options open to you. "He's a good example" is not. If Jesus isn't who He Himself says He is, then there are only two options: He's a fraud, or he's a nutcase. Tertium non datur.

I'm certain of it - not because I have any kind of proof, but because it would make zero sense for God to create all of the vastness of our universe, and then only create life on THIS small rock of a planet in one of the furthest reaches of the universe.....and not even a particularly important...

And there we go - your opinion about the meaning of what Jesus said just became completely irrelevant. You've basically just called the man either a liar or a lunatic, the words of neither of which should carry any weight. As C. S. Lewis so excellently said:

Is Jesus God? Yes or no.

The thought was probably: "Ooooh evil evil conservatives think cops can never do anything wrong, let me show this hahaha". I pretty much deflated this - hence the bottomhurt in his next comment.

I don't understand how you can read the entirety of the Bible, and get anything but the idea that war can be just. Especially since God Himself commanded certain wars. So unless you're out on a "Jesus isn't God!"-errand, you don't have a leg to stand on.

Ignorant and ridiculous meme is ignorant and ridiculous. No, Jesus did not say that no society should ever take up arms. In fact, He Himself commanded Israel to go on quite the extensive conquest in Cana'an.

Manslaughter charges. Yeah, sorry I didn't fit your conspiracy theory BS-template ;)

Yeah, calling out BM is defintely "trolling". At least to someone who doesn't want said BM called out.

I, on the other hand, think it was right of the Allies to band together to rid Europe of the horrors of nazism. And I believe that he who stands by and does nothing while people are being butchered and oppressed, are just as guilty as the oppressor and butcher. That's why pacifism is up there...

That's the appropriate answer to all of the insane conspiracy theories...

You are obviously clueless as to the course of human history. Violence has re-established peace so long as human civilization has been around. This is a fact, and not just the magical fairyland fantasy, that pacifists like to exchange reality for.

If you DARE criticize Obama, you are an evil stupid racist who just doesn't like black people, don't you know? ;)
