  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that the states that have less people that accept evolution are those with most fundamental Christians, right? Since those people are all blessed, their states should also be the ones with the best economy and quality of life and lower crime rates, right?

Right.

Right ... just like blessed David, who was chased to kingdom-come by Saul.

Just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who were thrown in a fiery furnace.

Just like Daniel, so blessed of God, was thrown in a lion's den.

Just like all 12 of Jesus' disciples, who died a martyr's death.

Yup ... being a fundamental Christian means near-immunity from becoming a victim of crime.

So, protection only counts for the after life?
No ... God was just kidding when He said ...

2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

May I borrow your map for a moment, Cab?

I want to look at something.

  • 30 October 1991: The Halloween Monster, a.k.a. The Perfect Storm, strikes the U.S. amid the "land-for-peace" Madrid peace talks; President Bush's ocean-side home destroyed.
  • 23 August 1992: President Bush moves Madrid talks to U.S. soil; that very day, Hurricane Andrew devastates southern Florida.
  • 16 January 1994: President Clinton meets with Syrian President Hafez Assad to discuss more "land for peace" arrangements; less than 24 hours later, a 6.9 earthquake pulverized southern California.
  • 1 September 1993: President Clinton announces a meeting with Arafat for the Oslo peace accords, to be held on 13 September; after a week of meandering in the Atlantic Ocean, Hurricane Emily hits North Carolina on that very day.
  • 21 January 1998: while waiting to meet with Arafat at the White House, President Clinton's sex scandal breaks out.
  • 27 September 1998: Arafat is meeting with the president in Washington; Hurricane Georges hits Alabama and stalls. The hurricane stalls until Arafat leaves and then it dissipates. Parts of Alabama declared a disaster area.
  • 17 October 1998: Arafat comes to the Wye Plantation meeting; incredible rains fall on Texas, which cause record flooding. Parts of Texas declared a disaster area.
  • 3 September 1999: Secretary of State Albright meets with Arafat in Israel; Hurricane Dennis comes ashore on this very day after weeks of changing course in the Atlantic Ocean.
  • 12-26 July 2000: Arafat at the Camp David meetings. Powerful droughts throughout the country. Forest fires explode in West into uncontrollable fires. By the end of August, 7 million acres are burnt.
  • 9 November 2000, two days after the presidential election: Arafat meets with President Clinton at the White House to try and salvage the peace process; worst election crisis in over 100 years occurs.
Okay ... thank you.

Oh, so criminals are now asking what a person's religion is before robbing them? I have never heard of that, do you have any supporting information? Because that would be the only way that a robbery would qualify as "persecution".

Just want to point out some things:

Right.

Right ... just like blessed David, who was chased to kingdom-come by Saul.

But Saul died and David became king.

Just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who were thrown in a fiery furnace.

But were saved by an angel and then became important officials in Babylon.

Just like Daniel, so blessed of God, was thrown in a lion's den.

And was also saved by an angel and lived a prosperous life afterwards.

Just like all 12 of Jesus' disciples, who died a martyr's death.

Except John.

In that same vein, I've always found this comparison interesting.
