Santorum suspends campaign

[RETS]

*shrug* I wasn't planning on arguing it, I was just curious where you stood.

No worries. When I was last here, it became very necessary for me to qualify my statements like that, because people who were not at all involved in the conversation would hijack it- Then begin spouting a whole lot of conspiracy theory bull that had nothing to do with the topic.

Wasn't really directed at you.

Ah. Well, I love a good conspiracy theory, and there ARE some out there with enough reasonable doubt and evidence to be possible (and sometimes even likely - like the Kennedy assassination), but I think most conspiracy theorists take it WAY too far.

Indeed. Something to look at as far as Kennedy goes- Who's textile mills produced nearly every uniform for the troops during Vietnam?

Just something fun to look into.

Good question. I've never thought about it. Who?

According to what I've seen, the Johnson textile mills made the majority, or all, of the uniforms.

Pretty sure Obama's gunna win as I was sure that Romney would be the Republican candidate.



Really. He says he believes the core beliefs doesn't he?

Black Liberation Theology believes that Christ died to show solidarity with the oppressed. It was not a redemptive act by God, and there are many ways to heaven. There's also the whole deicide thing.

Deicide? Where?

Ah. Why am I NOT surprised...

I believe he may be referencing the belief that God killed Himself. If I'm not mistaken, that particular belief goes further to state that there was no resurrection, because there was no God left to bring it about.

lol I've been slowly writing a book on the subject, but as you may imagine, it's slow going.

...isn't that kinda the whole point of Christianity?

Yeah, I understand that part. One of my dad's best friends was a Mormon. Cool dude, too, but I digress

Nice! I'm currently trying to write a book myself, with the tentative title Delivery Guy Blues. It's fiction based on true events. I'm a contractor, and deliver and install home appliances from GE and Home Depot in people's homes with my "boss" (my friend who owns the truck and gave me a job). We've gone through so many instances that are PERFECT for comedy/reality TV XD

Not really. This isn't the theology section, so I'll keep this to a minimum, though.

Basically, in a nutshell, Christianity is based on the fact that Christ was the Son of God, and that He died- Yes. However, it is also based upon the fact that He rose again. Moreover, that the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Father are three unique yet intrinsic parts; that is, they exist as a Trinity.

In other words, while this belief in question holds a limit to God's power, (He could not rise after killing Himself); Christianity holds that there is no limit, (He did rise after allowing Himself to be killed).

I may have oversimplified it, but I also don't want to get into trouble for a conversation outside of it's specific place.

I've met a few of those myself!

Oh, MAN! The comedy routines I could write up based on my time working at McDonald's ALONE!!

I still don't get how it's not deicide. It's a bit of a technicality to suggest that it isn't deicide simply because he rose again. He still "killed himself", really.

But, as you said. Don't want to get in trouble for misplacing conversations

I've met a few of those myself!

Aren't they awesome? Torren (dad's Mormon friend) wife was an amazing cook too!

I hear ya. I worked at McDonalds too before getting this contractor job

Deicide: God committed suicide.

Christianity: Jesus Christ allowed Himself to be sacrificed.

Deicide: God, singular, could not rise again.

Christianity: Christ, one third of the Trinity, could. (Or, to clarify the point, was raised.)


Hope that helps.

Why not? The phoenix manages over and over. Is God less than a bird?

That's the concept of Deicide. It makes less sense to me than the Obama family spending habits.
