Say that with a straight face to this guy.

Maybe wait a respectful moment til he is finished praying!

Before you try to force him to stop playing.

This is why you can't get past and accept the fact that you sin...

For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23

Sin is "missing the mark." If I'm not aiming to be a Christian, I haven't missed anything.

If that is your argument Pete then, you are fighting a losing battle.

Here's the problem folks. If we just look at the law as the end-all-be-all then we lose.
If we neglect the enforcement of the law as the end-all-be-all then we lose.
If we use wisdom in making our decisions then we win.

King David was a sinner and the Kingdom of Israel paid a hefty price for his sin. But in all of history, King David was the first of the great kings of Israel. Infact, they list King David as a "GOOD" king of Israel. Sadly he was guilty of adultery and murder. Yet he repented and was forgiven.

King Solomon his son, was also a great King of Israel. He was known to the nations around Israel as the "Wise" king and is also listed as a "GOOD" king, but He too committed adultery and the punishment for his sin, like that of his father, was played out in the struggle of Israel. In fact it was the descendants of Solomon and David that brought about the civil war of Israel, where it was divided between the Samaritans and Judah. Kind of like the Yankees and the Confederates. But here again, through Christians, the two sides of Israel were united with the Gentiles.

Now Christians for as long as Christ was alive have been fighting for their survival. So this attack of Christian enemies on Christians is nothing new. We, Christians saw it with Rome, then the kings and queens of Europe, but when the Christians came to America, they tried to do it differently. And for the most part they succeeded. However, I stood up against the Christian Coalition not the Christians in the past. But the same words I used against the Coalition are the same words I am now using against the liberals and progressives.

Absolute power, whether or not it comes from Christians or Christ, Himself, corrupts the human absolutely. I don't care if you are Conservative, Progressive, or a Liberal. But Pete does have a very good point, and its that same very point I agree with him.

Therefore, I want to institute a new rule of law, if you are a hypocrite then you have no standing to make an argument. And if both liberals and conservatives just stick to that principle, then ideas, will be able to flourish, and r****m, sexism, and all other forms of isms will cease to exist. This is a fact, not a theory!

A Christian does not force their religion on others by saying "Merry Christmas", nor does a non-Christian force their religion upon the Christian by saying "Happy Holidays" where the religion is forced upon a person is when you are told, you can't say either. And kneeling to anything other than God the Almighty, and Bowing to anyone other than God the Almighty, is a Sin of SERVATITUDE. No American is a servant or a s***e to any American. And that is just that. Period.

Cancel one American, you cancel us all. Bring one American up to greatness, we are all brought up to greatness. Demonize one American you demonize us all. The Conservatives of the Past were so hard headed that they didn't understand that simple principle and now the "wild ones" who have power today are just as hard headed. To the point that no one is innocent.

Therefore, Pete it is justified to impeach Bill Clinton for the act of perjury. It is therefore justified to render judgement against such a crime. But it is also just as just to provide mercy and forgiveness for the same. We are human beings with real human emotion which the "wild ones" among us do not have the self-control to control themselves. He who has no self-control fears all, and therefore tries to control all. That was the fear and undoing of the Christian coalition and that will be the undoing of the progressives and liberal ones. But we all in the middle have to live with it.

Stop the hypocrisy, and rebuild the rules of evidence and argument, then maybe a wise decision can be made. Otherwise it is just trolling for the purpose of violence against an unseen enemy. If we cannot agree on anything this country will fall like that of King Nimrod who tried to build a tower to Heaven in the city of Babel.

God made us the way we are, so obviously he doesn’t have a problem with gays. The problem is yours.

God also will judge all and send some to Heaven as a reward and send some to Hell as a punishment. So what's your point?

If God may you a homosexual as you say, then He must want to use you in some way that you and I don't understand at this point because it plainly states in the Bible that homosexuals won't inherit the Kingdom of God. And since it's you, I strongly suggest that you repent and find out what God's plan for you is.

Then let's all clap and show we believe so Tinker Bell doesn't die!

I don't believe your target exists. So technically, a hit is as good as a miss.

Don't fear the sinner, fear the one that made the sinner.

Singularity

Fear the motive that requires (edit: creates!) a cast of obligate sinners.

..... therefore fear God.

Doesn't feel right. There is no there, there. Most I can muster is a faint annoyance.

After twenty minutes stretched to 40 years, I left the lecture hall to create my own world of adventures.

If I run into any evidence of your God, I will give it a fair audience if it approaches respectfully.

Ranger7374 Loc: Arizona, 40 miles from the border in the DMZ

For all the evidence you can provide that God does not exist, I can prove with the same evidence that he does. Therefore, we are in a stalemate. And I can live with that, can you?

Singularity

Can you, really?
