More on religion….

Well, according to a letter that was written by Thomas Jefferson by a court eons later there’s separation of Church and State.

According to the US Constitution there is no such statement.  Just restrictions placed on the state to prevent them from affecting the churches.

i wouldnt use wiki for this one.  its so popular the pc police would never let them say how it came about.  it would hurt gay sensibilities, b/c the gay community knows the disease began to spread in their cirlces….they just want it on the DL.

I wouldn’t use you as a reference either, so I think wiki is a better bet.

but without a doubt, WITHOUT A DOUBT, the disease was begun in gay circles.  which means someone from africa came a plugged some gay guy in the butt, and that act of indecency has cost a momumetnal number of lives.

Without a doubt, the disease began with another species.  That’s how it started.

@balungaloaf:

and back to falwell, yes forgive him, and those who he didnt like.  thats the point of christianity.  thats why its so great and the best and true religion.  all you do is go on with your life, you dont have to like someones evil or debauched ways, sometimes fight them if neccessary to save others from harm, but always forgive. its a nice way to live.

Forgive him - well, I didn’t really care about him before.  I’m more likely to forget him.  But he was an egregious misrepresentation of Christianity.  And for you to say that you can go about your business, hate on liberals all day, and still be a Christian, well, I’m sorry your religion is too much “work” for you.  No wonder you are Catholic.

@balungaloaf:

what other religion is all about forgiveness and everyone getting to heaven to be with God who wants to.

Buddhism, to name one.

all other religions are about killing in the name of God, which the christian canon is against.  buddhism is about doing what you are told at all times(so the powerful can boss you around)  and hinduism is racist to the core.
shintoism for japan led to a savage warrior culture.

There’s not an iota of truth in this entire paragraph.  Furthermore, if the US were truly a Christian nation, it would be very different: no Iraq War, no poverty, no exorbitant wealth (Jesus sure did sound like a commie, didn’t he?).  I’ve often said that being an American and Christian is just about mutually exclusive - if not an oxymoron.

what is humanity supposed to evolve into.  secular me first hedonism.  thats sick.

Welcome to the US.  Enjoy your stay.

@balungaloaf:

wow, its like they ripped that off of christianity.  because thats christianities canon.  harm none.  but if we could stop a man from killing 50 children with a pistol by shooting him, any good person would.  it would be way worse to sit by and watch the children die.

And what did Christianity rip off?  Every other religion that came before it.  Seriously - it was a brilliant strategy to convert the masses.  Just adopt their practices.

and christians dont ever want to harm someone b/c they are a different religion.  only muslims(certain ones, a lot though) condone that, b/c its right in the koran.

Plenty of Christians do, and did, kill for differences in faith.  Don’t kid yourself.

the christian new testament says love and pray for your enemies.  and to turn the other cheek if it is just you being harmned.  no other religion comes close.

You apparently aren’t up on religion…
