-- You post this: "Socialism doesn't reject God. I happen to be anti-capitalist and pro-socialist. Capitalism rejects God more than socialism no doubt!! ....and then actually wonder why someone would laugh? You are obviously a person who has never actually spent time in a true socialist...

To which I asked: To which you replied: So, the best examples of current Christian Extremism is the "crusades" the "witch hunts" and the current U.S. government? That about right? I do hope you choose to adhere to the very last line of your post.

Phil Keaggy is excellent, as well. I saw him perform at NDSU in the very early 80s. His story is amazing because he plays incredible guitar even though he has a deformed hand. If we are going "old school" I would also mention: - Keith Green - The Imperials - Amy Grant (before she went...

-- Just out of curiosity, how many Christian extremists are we talking about? I can give a litany of Islamic organizations or state-sponsored Islamic extremist who are currently wreaking havoc be advocating and carrying out terror. I am curious as to what Christian extremists - either...

I agree, Mercy Me. Casting Crowns is also another outstanding group. Both have song that help celebrate and worship.

lol I think it's rather a big jump to assume that just because someone has an irrational fear of Islam, they are automatically a Fundamentalist Christian. Call me old fashioned...

I understand completely. To be honest, I don't relish doing it, either. I always feel there is someone more qualified who is less likely to screw up :) But because someone who didn't want to do it out of fear of risking out friendship did it for me, how could I do less. My very best friend...

One thing that I do miss about the Catholic Church, though is the level of reverence that is found in the Mass. It is a reverence that I feel is often missing in the celebratory worship services in many churches, including my own. I think at times that reverence (fear) is missing in the...

Today in court the gentleman who perpetuated this terrible crime identified himself as a "Darwinist." I think it would be very hard for a person to be a Darwinist and a Christian Fundamentalist at the same time.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ :lol:

I have no problem with the death penalty as long as there is absolutely no doubt that the person who did the brutal murder is the one actually convicted. But if I was in charge I would give them life with no chance of parole - at hard labor. Very few priviledges but enough where if they did...

-- The gentleman in question identified himself as a "Darwinist" today in court. Darwinism definitely does not reconcile with Fundamentalism, regardless of how people want to pervert the description.

Let me preface what I am going to say by paraphrasing something the pastor at my church once told us. He said that we will be joined by a number of people in heaven from the Catholic church, Lutheran Church, Methodist Church, etc. But there would be people in our very church who we likely will...

-- I would agree with all you have said. -- I had one issue and one bout of confusion about your statement on gay marraige and civil rights. The way you presented it was robust with indignation and anger, appearing to stand in judgement of those who would not agree with you on this topic...

I would agree with everything you said in your lengthy first paragraph. I think the personal awareness that the candidate has of their life is very important. He he feels he is living a sinless life, but can't figure out why he can't walk away from 6-8 hours a day on the Internet, I would be...

Do you really need an example? How about, "Those that vote in opposition of gay marraige are violating the civil rights of homosexuals." If you were to look over a number of our interactions with an honest eye, you yourself would have the examples you seek.

Aspen! Agreed.

What is your definition of arrogance? You have said that since arrogance is a sin, that is just as bad as homosexuality or other sins so it should prevent a person from being a pastor. How exactly would you know they are arrogant?

Same with me. My state has had terrible flooding this year. Our Pastor has urged us to give but also contribute to work being done in other churches. He said something once that has stuck with me. "There are people in Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Episcipalian and other churches that we will...

-- Except when the religion taught in thousands of Mosques supports the idea of torture and murder of those who don't believe what they believe, and hundreds of thousands of people accept, support, and practice those ideas, and millions more in those mosques do not condemn (mostly because of...
