Didn't god command the Israelite's to k**l the Canaanites and steal their lands? Seems like god said that both murder and stealing are relative right at the beginning.

Funny, if you were talking about a man that would be a perfect description of Donald Trump...

Too bad conservatives are so opposed to government regulation...

Yeah, with a gun there aren't all the body parts to have to deal with. I knew there was a positive about this--just had to look for it. And no, as a liberal democrat there are few ways that we are confused. As for "they" when I run across one I will get back to you...

I've been wondering what the hell you motivation was. I think I've figured it out and I think I will us ignore...

Do you think the FBI didn't thoroughly investigate this guy? People don't walk around with their religions tattooed on their foreheads and the guy was an American and as hard as it is to understand--has the exact same rights as you! And yes, people who have shown to be mentally ill shouldn't be allowed a gun. Now would you please tell me the definition of what mental illness is so we can quickly have it applies...

I don't think it's the government who is too worried about Paul's life style. The POS in Orlando appears to have been a conflicted gay and when you are Muslim on top of that it creates a truly screwed up person. All that's needed is put gun in his hand and as they say--it is what it is...

Well, if you can't be sympathetic to a Muslim who can you sympathize with--a Christian? Christ, how creepy...

And just think--the rhetoric that is just k*****g him--a huge chunk of the republican party believe with all their hearts...

We became a super power because of our natural resources and the people who exploited them. Trumps upcoming loss has nothing to do with his religious conviction, I seriously doubt Hillary has any either, but to the fact that he simply can't keep his mouth shut.

Threw them under the bus? Gee Paul, do you think democrats threw you under the bus or do you think the democratic party is the only one that supports gay rights. Nice try Rob but it's you conservatives who will always be at the bottom of the ladder...

No, they want to blame it on ISIS but the question to be asked is if ISIS didn't exist if this wouldn't have happened. I say it wouldn't have changed the outcome one single bit...

I am simply talking about what choice means when one creates an omnipotent god. Jefferson and his fellow deists believed that god was simply the power that created the universe and therefore, indirectly, the force that created us. They didn't believe that god interacted with man or was there to guide us down any particular path. That was up to man and why they created a government where man was free to worship god but gods influence stopped there. If god exists, that would be the type of god, as it is fully irrational to think any other way. Doc and his fellow CC's are at home in the world of irrationalism. I am not condemning them for that only saying that they would be better off to admit what, and how, they believe.

I started college at the University of Albuquerque, which had been called 'The University of St Joseph on the Rio Grande', and was a Catholic college that required 12 hours of theology to graduate. The first thing I was taught in Philosophy of Religion was the principles of Rationalism and Irrationalism and how one guides Man and how the other guides God and it's the conflicts between the rational and irrational where Man is tested.

Doc and others think I don't know what I'm talking about but I understand too well.

Believe as you like Linda--both theologically and politically--that will never change my opinion of you. And for everyone their minds are their best friends or worst enemies. I am comfortable with mine far more than when I trying to resolve the conflicts between reason and theology...

So are you saying those who follow the old testament are mistaken?

And I am finding this really curious. I stated earlier someone who had faith in god would need no gun as Christ was his protector. You are saying that Christ does not support k*****g. You said I was wrong but if Christ doesn't support k*****g how so?

In the latest poll out by Bloomberg--over the course of one month Trump's lead went from plus 3 to minus 12 points. And while I am sure this poll means nothing to Trumpsters, who live in their own little plane of reality, to the real world; it just goes to show that once Trump leaves the illusion of the Republican party he falls flat on his face in the real world. And this it just the beginning people. Orlando should have been a gift for the Republican candidate but because of Trumps rhetoric, accusing the president of "radical Islam" complicity, it's actually worked to drive people away from the Republican candidate and the republican party in general.

Trump is a lunatic who plays well with his fellow lunatics but anyone with an ounce of reason is getting as far away from Donald J. Trump as they possibly can. Republican's don't need to worry about loosing the presidency--it's lost--what they need to worry about is the trickle effect on down the line for the rest of the party. Republicans have the majority in both the house and senate, and for now, that is the only thing that can protect conservatives (and to them AMERICA) from the absolute horror that is Hillary Rodham Clinton. There is only one person with more flaws than she has and Conservative Republicans fell head over heals for him. All I can say is thank you. Thank you soooooooo much. You gave us a gift that in all honesty, just keeps on giving....
