What makes a person a patriot? A patriot is a person who loves the people of his country and desires the best for their future. It's the thought that counts.

It's because he's liberal. That is enough.

The problem is that the current government of China is infected with high grade paranoia. The kind of paranoia where an independent Tibet (or Taiwan for that matter) would be seen as threats to their national security on the same magnitude as if hypothetically terrorists occupied the entire...

It depends on the god. Some gods liked human sacrifice, some gods cause destruction over a rivalry. But they are still, by definition 'god'. A better question would be, how can people call such a god 'good'?

The question is: if Obama does return the money, will it be seen as anything more than a political gesture? In any case I don't know how a supposedly anti-war group can support terrorists. That is like a pro-life person making exceptions for their own pregnancy. Then again, labels like that...

It seems like anyone can complain about Christianity and Christians with relative impunity compared to other religions. There could be a good reason and a bad reason for complaints about Christianity. The bad reason is that sometimes the complaints are legitimate. After all, the spirit is...

"Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay...

Indeed times have changed. Many colleges founded for the high purposes of studying theology have shifted their focus and other colleges reputed for their radicalism have contrarily become more religious. There's nothing wrong with fundamentalism per say. But fundamental to what? To the gospel...

People don't take offense because Obama said that people are bitter at the broken promises of government. Nobody disagrees with that. The problem is that 'bitter' has the connotation that it is without reason. Or that we're incapable of fending for ourselves so all we do is gripe. The problem...

"How dare you tell me how to be Christian. Besides, I am no longer held to the law. I am without sin." He's mistaken. And not only is he mistaken, his attitude is wrong as well. In the bible there is a parable of the Good Samaritan. Everybody knows it, but what are it's implications? The...

It's dangerous because the temptation to 'turn gay' is so great. Just look at famous preachers who happened to be caught up in that kind of lifestyle. One look at the possibility of carnal knowledge and all willpower goes out the window. Then they'll abandon their families and the nation will...

I find them to be very disturbing. However, the alternative to allowing their existence is to decide that some overarching power has more authority over children's education than parents. I feel equally if not more unease at that because if a person like me can decide that such and such school...

I sort of would and sort of wouldn't not. Let me explain: The Law of Moses is not obsolete, but it has a different purpose than the Life by the Spirit. The purpose of the Law of Moses is to convict people and lead them to put their faith in God and the Son of God through only whom people may...

Pure capitalism favors individual freedom and has hard line anti-state stance which is not a totalitarian belief. I was once talking to a Communist about Adam Smith's idea of the invisible hand and the departure from Mercantilism into Capitalism. He told me that Adam Smith was an unrealistic...

All of God's word promotes liberalism. There is only one gospel: the gospel of Jesus Christ. The OT is the foreshadowing of his coming and the NT is the fulfillment. The Word made flesh was with God and is God from the beginning. Let's start with Genesis. In Genesis, God commands Adam and Eve...

They're already working on animals that can grow human compatible organs. The main problem I see is that we're having issues treating people properly now. Since animals generally have less rights than human beings, will the end result be exploitation?

Dominionism is scary. I think I'll pass.

On one hand, they have a point that when people talk about the issues it is better than silencing it. On the other hand, it's somewhat of a non sequitur because Day of Silence isn't about silencing christians at all. Participation in the silence is a voluntary thing for those who support it. On...

The Constitution is like the Bible. Many people don't derive their goals or agenda from it, they merely justify their actions by using it or ignoring it after they have already done as they desired.
