(damoncrowe;36682) Lunar,It seems that anything that becomes an amendment is fine with you. Please address these and forget about my position on suffrage: Though I find it hard to even engage with you seriously if you are straight-facedly telling me that you think women ought not to be able to...

(Two;36626) Oh gosh another one..........here we go............ What do you mean?

(tim_from_pa;36536) Well, I would not call my position misogyny. I love my wife very much, we were married many years, and lay a great deal of dependence on her. As a matter of fact, I don't think I could live without her (she could live better without me). I put most women on a pedestal, and...

(tim_from_pa;36521) The purpose of this post was to denounce the income taxes. I find the analogy of allowing women to vote (where they received more freedom) a poor analogy as to the justification of adding the 16th amendment (where freedom is taken away). It has nothing to do with it and...

(damoncrowe;36498) Oh yeah, about women voting. I can find no scriptural basis for universal suffrage. It does not exist in the Scripture or historically speaking. Only heads of households were allowed to vote. I really think that is how it should still be. You disagree obviously, but on...

What these people are doing to you is cruel and wrong. But I don't think that the way to get your faith up is by putting them down, either in actuality or in your mind. This is an instance in which you need to strengthen your faith by turning the other cheek. This is an instance where you need...

(damoncrowe;36454) Pragmatism is doing anything that works. God is not a pragmatist, he is principled. Some things may "work" that are against God's law. God's principles "work." God is never going to ask us to do something that is for the worse. I abide by God's principles. That is the extent...

(damoncrowe;36326) Lunar, Lunar, Lunar.....You are obviously a pragmatist. Do what works whether it's right in God's eyes or not. I'm a pragmatist insofar as God is a pragmatist. God doesn't ask us to do things that "don't work."(damoncrowe) The federal government gets plenty of revenue from...

Firstly, I said that I didn't want to segue into a debate about health care because this is thread is not a debate about health care. That's called derailing the topic. Talking about health care policies in the United States today, and about what Jesus would have wanted us to do with respect to...

I actually think that most Christians are concerned for the state of the world, which is good.The question is whether they're concerned about the right things.

(tim_from_pa;36254) Well, the founding fathers did not intend the federal government to be in most of the stuff it has its nose in today. It was to basically protect the nation, and a military. Therefore it does not need as much revenue except those who want to keep it because they are either...

(tim_from_pa;36205) Looks like I opened a can of worms here today. Well, actually, the 16th amendment was added to justify the income taxes, and any amendment can be added to support a lame-brained idea and then call it "constitutional". I am referring to the constitution as intended by our...

(Two;36177) Boy they got you brain washed don't they. You should probably try and break the habit of prefacing a paragraph with this. It's awfully patronizing.(Two) What do we get on regular basis other than the shaft, nothing. Okay, let's abolish these taxes then, and see how fun things are...

(For Life;36167) I'm with you Tim. I don't understand how people think that our huge government could possibly provide services for the people that we couldn't do better and more efficiently at a smaller private level. Businesses are completely sociopathic. Without government regulation, they...

I don't think that is a common belief, no. I think that the two most common beliefs are to think that dinosaurs existed but date them only several thousand years old (the young-earth creationist view), or to believe that dinosaurs existed millions of years ago, many years before humans. The...

I'm very sorry to hear about this, Kriss. Your daughter will be in my prayers.

(tim_from_pa) I guess people actually like financial self-inflicted pain or something. No, they don't like it, but they understand that it's necessary for something that's a lot more important than being inconvenienced every once in a while. The income tax generates revenue that goes towards...

(Dei-Gnostica;22131) Thank you brother, but I don't know if this will be enough. I suspect that we must move ever cautiously closer towards another Crusades. I...what?!I really hope you didn't mean that literally!

(wasabi;36010) So Sinclair is psychic now? I don't follow.

(wasabi;35992) You say you could make a video...what would be your motive? What would be the motive? I don't know, maybe the $10,000 Larry Sinclair was offered by whitehouse.com to take the polygraph, plus the possible $100,000 bonus if he manages to pass it. It's a completely disgusting affair...
