Like Jerry Falwell once said, "What's the worst that can happen if we put the 10 Commandments on the wall of a public building? That people will read them, take them to heart, and put them into practice? Would that really be so bad?"Last edited by Mountain Man; 10-24-2017, 12:41 PM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

The difference is conservatives go by the things the founding fathers actually wrote. Liberals reinterpret according to their own political positions.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Originally posted by Sparko View Postwell I think there is quite a bit of difference between atheism and agnosticism. So does your opinion override mine? If so then why would not the person who claims there is no difference between Christianity and Atheism not override your opinion?
After all, A Christians doesn't believe in 99.99% of the gods out there, just like an atheist!

No, it's not.
When you're seeking mutual understanding, using something you KNOW is offensive seems rather counter-productive. That IS an issue here.
Sometimes I can be deliberately offensive because I know what you think and I want to draw attention to what I perceive as some incongruity or other.
No, you're not. Again, however, deliberate offense is hardly likely to foster mutual understanding.
What I do want is to understand your position and make sure that I do not misrepresent it while still arguing against it, if it is worth doing so.
You did not explain why you think that your faith is not the same as superstition.
From Merriam-Webster online:
I object to being labeled 'superstitious' because not one of those definitions comes close to accurately describing my beliefs.
Well, no. I'm pretty sure you know that, too.
I don't recall you ever approaching me that way, let alone 'most of the time'.
Enjoy your break. Perhaps think on ways you can make your actions bear some resemblance to your words when you come back.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
