Bible coin -- Marine removed from duty over Bible coin reports
"Brian Oakley" wrote in message ... If you bothered to listen to any Christian radio at all, you would have heard 99.999 percent of it denouncing this "Pastor" and his "Church". ring ring The problem is that Phelps is using the same source material that you are, the bible, and is as dogmatic as your group is. He selectively picks bits from the bible and says they are the unerring truth while ignoring contradictory bits from the same source. As you do. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida Where in the Bible does it say to dishonor widows, and orphans? Anyone can claim to be a Christian, but unless they truly attempt to follow in Chirsts footsteps, then their walk is in question. Brian, check out all the posts you have ever made to this newsgroup. I have, and on more than one occasion. I do believe this is the very first time you have ever mentioned following in the footsteps of Christ. That, I sincerely hope you agree, is the true essence, the only essence, of Christianity. Set aside your politics, your plonking, your sarcasm, your belittling, your name-calling, and the long list of things you oppose, and instead concentrate on that positive message. You will instantly become credible in my book, and that will make your message truly effective. James |

Bible coin -- Marine removed from duty over Bible coin reports
"Brian Oakley" wrote in message ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philade...Nativist_Riots Continue your research (and thus your education) from there. And then you can return me the favor by providing cites of Catholics burning down Protestant churches...oh, you said the south..okay, make it Baptist churches. I'd appreciate the good turn. I see now. Wikipedia. That explains a LOT. Yeah that source was written by a bunch of different people from different cultures and backgrounds who for the most part were not even there when, what ever it is they are writing about, happened. It is full of contradictions too. Worthless, eh? |

I rant, and I step down from my soapbox.
"Brian Oakley" wrote in message ... "PC" wrote in message . .. "Brian Oakley" wrote in message ... You forgot to add "in the name of intolerance" at the end. No, I didnt forget. Ring ring goes the bigot bell here too I see. So because I don't like intolerance that makes me a bigot? You are an odd fellow... Actually you do like intolerance. Youre tolerant until someone goes against your grain. Nope. You just made that up. |

You have to give the bible-thumpers credit for a truly unassailable bit of "logic" here. The Bible is accurate and literal where it is intended to be accurate and literal, and they'll tell you when those conditions have been met. If they are confronted with one of the hundreds of conflicting statements in the Bible, they can shrug it off and explain that one or the other versions was not intended to be accurate or to be taken literally. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

And they usually give these explanations and "clarifications" with robotic conviction-- as if they had personally been there when a particular passage was (purportedly) written. |
