I like the fact that Wikkie included "begging the question," which has been misdefined as "which leads to the question" by the ambitious imbecile Dipolomaed Dumboes who think that their skimming college education makes them role models on language use. Despite what the media say, "Begging the Question" (petitio principii, "appealing to what must be proved as if it had already been proved") is exemplified in arguments such as "God wouldn't allow us to believe in Him if He didn't exist" or--
God is world wide evangelized, and so is Secularism. Christ commands us to love one another. He does not command us to love Secular values. I embrace Christianity, and I want to live in a country that embraces these values.Your god is "evangelized" all over the world, is he not? God is worldwide friendly. And Christ demanded to love everyone....
Nah, I believe in this country too much to let runaway heathenism hijack it. I'm in this for the long haulThis is a secular society. We allow religion to be practiced, but it is not how we run our nation. Don't like that? Feel free to start a nation of your religion elsewhere.
Would be useful if you gave some examples.Not my God. He is for all those who support His Son.
Actually it's more like Secularists are imposing their beliefs on us, and it's certainly not time for that!
Well,who's stopping you from moving into one?God is world wide evangelized, and so is Secularism. Christ commands us to love one another. He does not command us to love Secular values. I embrace Christianity, and I want to live in a country that embraces these values.

I do accept the trinity; but if you understand the nature of Christ, you also know that Christ brought a "new law" and a "new gospel."
My emphasis on the "Church figure"........which is why I rarely subscribe strictly to "church doctrine"............ only to Christ's doctrine. If Christ were to return today, I doubt very seriously that there is ANY "Christian" church to which he'd claim membership. :shrug:
Christ, himself, would probably disagree here.
Whether or not YOU consider them Christians is of no significance. Generally speaking, (and from strictly a NT perspective) Christ never appeard to be too fond of hypocricy among his "followers." :shrug:
I'm an atheist and a conservative and I don't think anyone should vote for President Obama. I don't consider religion an issue since I do not believe President Obama is a Christian or a Muslim and he's clearly not a Jew. The church he attended for 20 years and the preacher he considers a mentor preached racial hate, hate of the U.S. and socialism. President Obama cannot, apparently, conceive of any being greater than Barack Obama.
That there's a heathen.

Well, you have to admit, he's not doing very well.
Christians presumably pursue living lives consistent with biblical teaching. That's not to say they'll always do it perfectly but it is their pursuit. The bible teaches Christian's to pray for government leaders with the understanding that when these leaders make leadership decisions inconsistent with biblical principles very often they do so facing outside negative influences. The example used of a government leader who needs loving prayer was the guy running the county Christians lived in when the New Testament was being written. That leader was throwing Christians onto the field with wild animals at the Roman colosseum for sport, something Obama would never dream of doing.
Last year with the Broncos, he took over a team in the sewer and made it to the playoffs. 1700 yards passing and 660 running, in half a season.
Last year. And now with the Jets?
He's played about 5 plays, and got the first downs they needed? He's the bast back-up qb in the league, and he might be a starter in the right configuration.
Come on. The best he'll be is a back-up, my friend. Indiana looking better to you all the time? How about Purdue with Drew Brees?
He brings the intangibles. We'll see if Manning can get the Broncos to the playoffs.
You definitely are not an atheist, IMHO. You have no CLUE about what Wright was preaching as you live in MExico and don't understand our racial culture at all.
"The things people say"....lolI was Christian and notice you failed to understand that god is for abortion and Christ never spoke out against it.
Do "Christians" believe in invading a country like Iraq killing hundreds of thousands of civilians even though Iraq didn't invade the US? Should Christians have voted for George W. Bush in 2004?
So you think we should vote for anti-colonialists like Obama?
