Jude 2

What is appalling, though, is any willingness to find a hint of moral equivalency in "justice" as viewed by a jihadist as compared to, well, almost any other idea of it. Very simply put, and go ahead and accuse me of oversimplifying for the sake of feeling superior or what have you, but v...

Perhaps I'm just daft, but I failed to grasp the point Dr. Ron was trying to make.

If you believe it is morally defensible to torture terrorists, then I would ask you to consider the following scenarios. I assume at least part of the justification here is the idea of "the greater good" -- that is, that trading one (practically) worthless life is worth a thousand lives. I...

I think you're onto something, brother Earth. The most compelling link is the connection with Walden. Don't know if you've seen the Walden/Disney movie Bridge to Terabithia, but there is a scene in the movie where one of the main characters mocks the Church, Christianity and Jesus. You're right, of ...

Well, I'd say we're in store for a lot more of this...

No Communion for Obama Supporters

Onelove:

My statement was about Dutch Sheets, NOT Obama. Just for the record, I voted for McCain and have been active in conservative politics all my adult life. However, I think all this handwringing over the election is a waste of time, and relects a lack of eternal perspective.

If Mr. Sheets wants to impress us with his soothsaying, he might have at least gone to the trouble of learning how to correctly spell the name of the President-elect: Barak [ sic ] Obama. The purpose of Mr. Sheets's pronouncement is nothing more than a "public record" to which he will, fro...

that "there is a tendency for conservatives to associate black liberals with a welfare mentality" That is a racist mentality. NT Fan was accusingly questioning whether or not FQ was viewing it that way. This was a cheap shot on FQ to even presume that he might have these views. If not a c...

Racial awareness does not equate to racism...Noticing differences in skin color, hair texture or body characteristics is normal awareness and is not racism. Period. I agree with you, brother. A great example of this would be Jesus' parable of the good Samaritan. In fact, I wonder whether, in contex...

Why does that surprise you? Because he is black? Ladies and Gentleman....cheap shot....low blow...of he year! :roll: I'm not sure how a question can be a cheap shot...but, look. I've seen at least one comment on this forum that seemed, to me at least, to embody what Tim said: that "there is a ...

Why does that surprise you? Because he is black?

Don't you think? The question was VERY poorly worded.

"Have you spoken with any living ex-presidents?"

I thought it was funny.

The scarey thing is that many people actually look at the world that way.

Actually, I love that guy. A spot-on potrayal of most televangelists.
