May God bless you and keep you,

There are extremists on both sides creating problems
Larry, atheists and christians alike attacking one another
and trying to undermine one anothers rights and freedoms
over beliefs that can't be proven as well as hate for those
beliefs.
I believe that both parties are wrong, men should drop the
pettiness and personal beliefs and work it out among one
another.

Are your caretakers aware of your gun obsession, short bus?
Why would you want to implement what I've described above
when it is already happening ? The idea has always been to
stop the cycle, not keep it going !
We don't have to kill ourselves off over beliefs that we
can't verify to our own satisfaction ! We know the
difference between right and wrong, why not observes those
limits and honor them ?
Since an atheist is considered an enemy, why not start by
telling him you accept him as he is, and ask him to do the
same ? Then have your religious gatherings in private
without sharing them with him ?
You CAN get along with one another if you really want to,
it just takes a little respect for one another and some effort.

Yeah - sure. Like *that's* ever going to happen.
I can agree there are extremists on both sides Rod causing problems.
The can we agree that something needs to be done to
end it ? Is seeking to end it unrealistic ?

There will always be someone like you screaming for special privileges or
privileges they are not entitled to it.
> For just one case, Creationism vs evolutionism.
The two are not even in the same categories are you warning signs,
repeatable science. What is fiction that fails to predict and or
function in any manner that can be called scientific-based.
> Both sides are adamant that their view be presented in a public
> forum.
Not just a public forum, a specialized public forum. Educational
facilities for children, under the mantle of science. Creationism is not
science and therefore should not be so associated.
> Only the Christians are willing to have BOTH sides presented; the

There are no both sides, as long as creationism is attempting to be a
replacement for science, there's only one side. Once creationism becomes
an actual working science, then there would be no need of denying access
it to the public educational system.
But it has been shown in court, in Pennsylvania, that creationism also
called intelligent design, is anything but science. It is simply another
attempt to insert a wedge into the wall of separation of church and
state. In other words, it's a continuing effort to destroy the
Constitution of the United States and make the United States a theocracy.
Much wrong with a theocracy, look at the Middle East and ask me that
question again.
> Another problem. MANY Christians are for gun ownership and the right

A constitutional guarantee, providing you meet all the qualifications.
Qualifications society has put in place by means of their legislatures.

And in your case, they were right to do so.

Of course you don't, it prevents you from doing things you want to do if
there is a middle ground. Even more importantly, it prevents you from
doing things you want to do, to who you want to do because, you're not
entitled to any privileges not shared by anybody else in the United
States. You're not entitled to any privileges you have lost.

which wannabe this time Johnnie, a big mouth that insist on his right to
be a nuisance and present its point of view which really, has very little
to do with reality. Usenet is not your support group.
walksalone which sets the Johnnie will never understand the difference
between science and mythology, but he wishes to impose that ignorance on
others, frequently against their will or consent. It chaps is ass to no
end that he cannot legally do so, or as long as there are people such as
myself a xians of conscience, this farce of creationism being taught as
science will not become law.
6ou3km$r...@bgtnsc02.worldnet.att.net
I notice nobody is truly interested in an honest discussion/debate. I've
said
repeatedly in here that I can prove Creation with the Moon walk, and with
a can
of tuna fish.
None of you "atheist" wannabees dares take on an intelligent person who
knows
what he's talking about. So you sit on your butts and prognosticate, as
if anyone
cares.
It is because of people like you on both sides of the isle
that murderous insanity persists. Yes, I suppose I am an
extremist from your point of view, but on the flip side
I seek to spare you and others a miserable existence in
a feudal state.
When it comes to you John, and I am sorry I have to say
this, it doesn't make any sense to talk with you ate any
length about anything. You are ultra sensitive and your
perception is distorted to the point that you can be
looking at blue but be seeing yellow.
Lets just say that I've noted your opinion and there is no
truth in it.
I think I can agree that something needs to be done. The arguing does
need to stop. All we are commanded to do as Christians to go and share
the gospel (teach all nations). Arguing proves nothing. I can tell you
what I believe, why I believe, and share the story of Christ with you.
But as for getting you to believe is out of my hands. So if you
disagree with me, then that is your choice, and I accept that.
As for being unrealistic about seeking it to end. No, nothing
unrealistic about it. Maybe unpractical, but not unrealistic. This has
been going on and on long before we were even born Rod. And will
probably continue to go on. In my opinion, arguing is just one of
Satan's tools that he uses.
Yea, so extreme that I hope one day men will learn to live
together. Perhaps an atheist will find a cure for cancer,
Cerebral Palsy or MS, and some little kid will get to walk
again, and perhaps that person will be a christian ? Or
maybe the lone prayer of some christian is heard and the
atheist parents of a small child will get to see him healed
and grow old!
Terrible ideas, aren't they....
Whatever name we chose to give it, it is still evil
Larry. I'm willing to work with you....
Sensi:
Personally I think the answer is to just surrender and love
thy neighbor instead of always harping hell fire, damnation
for (their them and those) sins and quit pretending like we
as Christians are better than others.
The only think we can be better at than anyone else is
loving and forgiving.
Of course that would ruin the preachers who count on pay to
preach hell, fire, damnation and such.

Sure, but the question was put to Larry, if I were
interested in your pennies worth I would have addressed
it to "John". You will notice that I did NOT....?
All you've really done here is try to turn a thread into
attention directed at you, and it hasn't worked out quite
like you had wanted it to, has it ?
What really irks me the most John, is the fact that where

Kind of switch gears here for a second. You know, I started this post
because I found the article interesting, and thought it could be
discussed calmly and no name calling. Boy I could not have been more
wrong. (main reason I do not post that much anymore) I am sorry Rod,

There is some truth in your words that you speak here. I try to love
all just as God loves us. Doesn't always work though, but I do try.
And it is true, we Christians are no better than anyone else. For we
were, are sinners just like everyone else. The only difference is we
have been forgiven for those sins.
Thank you Sensi for your comments, enjoyed reading them.
Believe me Larry, I do understand ! There is nothing that
could have been done by anyone, what is present here will
manifest itself no matter what we say or do.
The scary thing about it is this, it's like an old star
trek episode in some ways...the stronger and harder that
you fight it, the stronger it becomes, but if you ignore
it long enough, it begins to feed on itself and weaken.
Hopefully, people will wise up and do the same.
Something you said in a reply prompted me to consider
what would make me believe. I believe I have an answer to that,
and I think the answer is that I have to experience good
and evil close up and personal, one on one. The christianity
that we see today is a poor replica of what it was in the
first century. I've always wondered what it would feel like
to journey on foot across a wasteland without food or
shelter to spread a gospel, to be welcomed into the homes
of believers, to walk in the footsteps of the teachers and
apostles. I know it was a cruel time in the first century,
but it was a simple time as well; no technology to annoy
and distract you, more time to share with other believers,
a general closeness with others that seems so foreign and
remote in our time. I think that in their time, Christian
Love was as it was meant to be, you certainly don't see it
often in our day and age.
It looks to me as if part of my request is being met...
getting acquainted with evil..
I wonder when I get to see the good ?

Well, let's break the sequence of this conversation down:
Exhibit 1 > John W the Clueless: "...let's say I start with you.
Where do you live again?" John W the Clueless has asked for Rodney
the Liar's physical home address.
Exhibit 2 > Rodney the Liar: "Ooooookkkaayyyyy, just make certain you
get the address right. 409 Mechanic Street, Emporia, Kansas 66801"
Rodney the Liar has provided a physical address.
Exhibit 3 > Kelly the Lie Detector: "You're a liar, Rodney, that's
not your address." Kelly the Lie Detector has stated that Rodney the
Liar did not give the information that was requested by John W the
Clueless.
Exhibit 4 > John W. the Clueless: "It wasn't a lie, Kelly. It was a
very bad attempt at humor." John W the Clueless has attempted to
excuse Rodney the Liar's lie.
Exhibit 5 > Rodney the Liar: "It was neither. You asked me for MY
address, and you will notice that I gave you an address...I did NOT
say it was my address..." Rodney the Liar has lied again by stating
that he was not attempting to make a joke and John W the Clueless'
expense nor was he intentionally giving an address that was not his.
Final Argument and Conclusion > John W the Clueless asked for your
(Rodney the Liar's) address and you (Rodney the Liar) provided an
address, knowing it was not your (Rodney the Liar's) address. Telling
an untruth intentionally = lying. There is really no way around
saying "I gave you an address" after "You asked me for MY address" and
claiming that you were not intentionally lying. You lied.
Quod erat demonstratum.
> Kelly just feels like getting something started again
> but it isn't going to be with me.
Are you sure of that, Rodney?
> plonk.
Another Rodney lie.
How is calling people "assholes, bitches, shit-for-brains, and penis-
breath" being "Civil?"
what a retard....
Yes hopefully so. And I think I remember that star trek episode. :)
I agree, I often think of what it would be like to live back in time.
Not just the first century but other times also. Yes technology was
suppose to make life easier for us, and in a way it does, but also in
a way it hurts us too.
Yes you are seeing some of the evil, and you will see the good. Just
look for it, ask good to help you find it.
In a way you have seen the good also. You said you have seen or are
now seeing the evil, well the good is just the opposite of that.
I pray you quest will be successful and you will hear God calling you.

Well, perhaps it's the person that presented it ?
Really ? Christ demanded it, not me. Those words are his,
not mine. I'm just pointing out that you claimed to be
a Christian AND a preacher, yet here you are ignoring his
commands by running to mischief.
God hates that, you know.....

So, short bus johnnie- you imagine Cathy is 'trying to suck people
in', do you?
Provide your 'evidence' of this, or apologize for your obvious LIE.

Yeah, right, short bus! You have 'no use' for anyone who sees through
you and your evil agenda.
You have no use for anyone who doesn't march alongside you in
lock-step.
You're a phony, and we ALL know it, short bus johnnie.

Bollocks. You're both like two moldy peas in a rotten pod -- both

You're a match made in Hell, and you know it, short bus.

You'd need to HAVE a mind first, liar-johnnie. And FYI, Cathy is NOT
'playing mind games'. You're just too stupid to understand she is
merely telling you the truth about yourself.

The only reason you can't play is because you have no mind, no sense
of humor, and you're too stupid to learn the rules of any game.

You haven't poked any holes, short bus. It's merely your auditory

HEY- MOUTH.
You've been corrected numerous times concerning your wayward behavior.
Clean it up.
You are addressing a lady, and you will show her the proper RESPECT.
See, short bus johnnie? You've been warned numerous times that your
big mouth would be your eventual downfall, and it's happening already.

> Sadly, Kelly, you CLAIM to be a Christian and a pastor.
So do you, short bus johnnie. And you're NEITHER.

Okay John. Well I do love Rod in Jesus just as I love you in Jesus.
Please do not take this next comment wrong, but are we not told by
Jesus himself, to love our enemies? I do not consider Rod and enemy,
as you may or may not. But even if I dead consider him an enemy, I
would still love him as we are commanded by Jesus to do.
May God be with you
