Yeah... not sure if what I'd end up saying would be, though.

Oh...

I don't expect anyone to "have my back" fwiw. I am a douche and an aggrotroller. But please post something there!

I dont really know what was posted so i dont have an opinion. Other then when madnak was the more active mod it seemed like there were more locks. Which i personally would rather not have.

I just want to hear what All-In Flynn was going to say.

Yeah same here.

Unfortunately, this is correct.

bunny and batair, your collective wish is my command.

Truer words.

i'm going to finally arrive in denver on the 11th. I plan on spending 3 nights on the road to get there (delayed by poker). One night in shreveport, another night in Kansas City, and another night in Omaha.

Saw on the news today that people are actually protesting a prayer rally.

People inside with raised hands praying.

People outside hoisting political placards and signs (some which mock religion).

Enough said, I guess.

the prayer rally that contains John Hagee?

The guy who said Katrina was God's wrath?

the guy who goes on diatribes about the jews, the catholics, and muslims?


The one hosted by The American Family Association? whose leader stated that the medal of honor has been feminized because a guy recieved it for saving his comrades lives as opposed to receiving it for killing people?

The group that claimed all the SS officers were homosexuals because only homosexuals could be capable of such brutality?

The prayer rally that is also hosted by the Gov of Texas? Where he will 'pray' for lower taxes?

lol

Link please.

oh yea, also AFA is fully supportive of banning any sort of gambling, including poker.

Seriously. How could anyone of good conscious not have a problem with a Christian only rally with preachers of its like.

I watched it.

I saw people praying, and worshiping God.

Raised hands. Preachers and pastors praying.

All of that political garbage that Melchy used to justify the degenerate scum that were parked outside with signs mocking religion...is just that: garbage.

Thousands and thousands of Christians had assembled to pray. That is the fact. Their right to assemble and to pray was protested and mocked, and they were harassed.

Wait so the people sponsoring the event, American Family Association, can go around protesting others but people cant protest their event without being scum. Seems about right.

doggg gonna doggg

Doggg, how would you feel if the KKK set up a prayer vigil for its members and the event was protested? Would you consider the protesters 'scum'?

How about the people who protest against the Westboro Baptist church? Are they scum?

still waiting on doggg to defend a prayer rally held by rabidly anti-homosexual people who also believe the freedom of religion part of the constitution only applies to christians.

Here are the people they were protesting.

have fun defending them.

This analogy misses the mark. People of all faiths (even unbelievers) were welcome. This was not a membership event.

Therefore, the attendees were not representative of the event sponsors.

Let me give you a more accurate analogy:

The Atheists United set up a food station for a day to feed hungry, starving people in the ghetto. Christians show up to protest. They show up with signs mocking the homeless.

I don't have to defend any one.
I only defend the right of christians to assemble and pray without being harassed and mocked by degenerates.

Furthermore, as an aside, I vote, but think that christians should stay out of the political (debate) arena, for the most part. It can lead to embarrassing and humiliating quotations that are easily taken out of their generational context.
Anyway, I am commissioned to spread the gospel of Christ.
It is good news.
CNN only runs bad news (for the most part.)
I'm interested in saving souls, not countries.

Also, I have also never voted anything but democrat my entire life.
I voted Obama.

Also, as for all the anti-homosexuality stuff.
What can I say?
It is a sin for a man to lie with another man.
But so is stealing, and adultery, and telling a lie.
I think many of my christian brothers are way off the beaten path on this issue.
They are focusing on the sin, and not showing Christ to the sinner.
And they need to be severely rebuked.

Edit: All of these heavy judgmental types sin daily. For example, I cannot deny that I have looked on a woman (who was not my wife) in lust more than a few times lately. It comes with the territory of my job. How are you, as an adulterous sinner, going to rabidly expose and magnify and judge someone else's sin, when, if you are in fact a 'normal male,' you are yet still enslaved to your sinful flesh, and actively sinning. And if you aren't, then maybe there is something wrong WITH YOU.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

everyone has the right to assemble and pray. No one has the right in public to escape mockery. Do you think freedom of the speech needs to be curtailed when it comes to Christians?

If all christians were as you claim above there'd probably be little issue with them. Unfortunately quite a large number of Christians not only give special attention to certain sins, they work politically to make life more difficult for certain sinners over others.

I propose a 'Basic Science' sticky. Only mods can post there, while a support thread can be used to house suggestions for content.

We can direct offenders (people who put forth lolable statements about well-established scientific theories) to an appropriate post in the thread. If the topic hasn't yet been answered in the sticky, someone can add it.

If this is too specific, we can generalize the thread to 'Basic Errors' (relating to RGT) or something like that.
