I believe that modern Christianity is closer to the Pharisees than it is to Jesus' teachings.
I believe that modern Christianity is closer to the Pharisees than it is to Jesus' teachings.Does tooth believe in jesus too?
Yeah, they might want you to be good. Hahahahah.Sarah Palin has said the United States should rededicate itself to seeking God's will.
Just like Huckabee, isn't she. I am terribly afraid of the fundamentalist.
But then what are atheists?I believe that modern Christianity is closer to the Pharisees than it is to Jesus' teachings.
Well she can start by selling her $150,000 designer outfits and using the money to buy food for the poor and needy, like Jesus would.
No that would be Hitler. Washington was a deist, just like Jefferson. Jefferson publicly denied the Virgin Birth and wrote his own "Bible" with all references to Christ's divinity edited out - the fundies of Jefferson's day even used propaganda to spread fear that Jefferson would "take their Bibles away" (much like they still do 200 years later).
As for Palin, she could start by apologizing for endorsing 'death panels' as govt of Alaska, then flip-flopping after Obama was elected (I doubt that Jeebus would approve of her pulling the plug our our grannies).
I thought he was an atheist like Thomas Jefferson.
Says who? Your public school education?That myth has been debunked, dude.
So what exactly is the difference between her (and those that believe the same thing in the US) and the Islamic fundamentalists in say Iran? nothing.
I think it's funny when lefties attack those on the right for invoking the name of God,but are silent when those on the left do so also.
Barack Obama-
“I call upon Americans to pray in thanksgiving for our freedoms and blessings and to ask for God’s continued guidance, grace and protection for this land that we love”
"But I do believe that if we can talk to one another openly and honestly, and perhaps allow God's grace to enter that space between us, then perhaps old rifts will start to mend and new partnerships will begin to emerge."
"We do what we do because God is with us."
"Hope – Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead."
"We are God's partners in matters of life and death"

What?No Palin bashers want to address this?
Does tooth believe in jesus too?
Hell, the most ardent believers in torture in the US are christians. (NPR)
Yeah two wrongs totally make a right. Thanks for pointing that out to me!
Why wouldn't it? What gives him the authority to decide how christians should act? Do I suddenly have the authority to decide how muslims should act? If christians know little about jesus, then tooth knows nothing. His hypocrisy has been revealed.But that wouldn't make him a hypocrite is my only point.
Your boy appointed an Islamic outreach liason. Why aren't you crying about that? I'm sure if there were a Christian outreach liason, you would be beside yourself offense.
Why wouldn't it? What gives him the authority to decide how christians should act? Do I suddenly have the authority to decide how muslims should act? If christians know little about jesus, then tooth knows nothing. His hypocrisy has been revealed.
And yet, tooth pretends he knows exactly what jesus would do. :roll:Its not hypocritical because he doesnt follow jesus.
We'll they do both think that there is a war upon them. Except one is slightly more real than the other.
I dont think we need a christian outreach liaison the muslims are 'out' there and need reached out to. The christians are 'in' our country, or even 'are' our country. Thatd be a n inreach liaison.
The First Amendment, just like the other Nine Amendments in the Bill of Rights, is a worthless piece of ambiguous crap, dude. It could be reasonably construed to mean just about anything.
Most of that is ambiguous. For example:Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
What part do you see as ambiguous crap? Read the words, use the standard dictionary meanings, and there is no ambiguity that I can see. My understanding is:
The federal government may not pass laws that:
1. establish an offical national religion
2. limit any religion or their practices
3. allow prosecution of people or other entities for their opinions or views
4. do not allow people to meet peaceably
5. do not allow people to utilize the judicial branch of the government
I'm more christlike than any Christian. All you have to do is study the teachings of Jesus to see what he'd do (whether you believe he's a god or not - Thomas Jefferson didn't and we still respect his views). Jesus would be rolling in his grave if he knew what modern Christianity has become.Its not hypocritical because he doesnt follow jesus. Christians purpotedly do.
You do have a point.... /shrug.
I know more about Jesus than you do because I've studied his life and beliefs from objective historical sources instead of just repeating what my pastor tells me "Jesus would do". You're also the guy who doesn't know the difference between Darwin and Dawkins so I don't think you know much period, do you?If christians know little about jesus, then tooth knows nothing. His hypocrisy has been revealed.
2. What if I'm a voodoo practitioner and my religion requires me to practice cannibalism? Or if I'm a radical Muslim and my religion requires me to blow up the infidels. Should I have that right?
Hahahaha is right. :lol:Yeah, they might want you to be good. Hahahahah.
