Good evening!

You know, the fact that you jab right4life with that observation deems a Christian someone holding to a higher standard. It stings when a non-believer uses that form of rebuke, but I like it because non-believers and believers know it isn’t Christian behavior to be mean-spirited.

This is why very few (if any) Christians stood with Hot Air posters like St. Olaf. We (and you) knew he was all about himself–not Christ.

we’ll see how has the last laugh…loser…we’ll see if your hairygod darwin can save you!!!

How very Christian of you • Pope Stephen VI • Pope John XII • Pope Benedict IX • Pope Boniface VIII • Pope Urban VI • Pope Alexander VI Borja• Pope Leo X • Pope Clement VII, would be so proud.

Organized religion is a racket designed to dupe, take advantage of and control ignorant and superstitious lemmings such as right4.

I don’t know. I think we have to draw the line there. If Star Trek IV taught me anything, it’s that people who wholly subscribe to Darwinist survival philosophies cannot be trusted with our baby whales.

As long as they are sent to the re-education camps, I don’t see anything to be worried about…

Upstater85 on April 27, 2009 at 11:00 PM

Ugh. I opt for execution if they’re going to show Star Trek movies at the re-education camps!

But it is hardly miraculous that one survives an experience were survival is the norm, not the exception.

Count to 10 on April 28, 2009 at 11:21 AM

The 4200 plus US casualties is hardly miraculous, however discounting the sacrifice with percentages falls far behind in priority any discussion of personal belief.

Eating the same dirt sandwiches long enough has an amazing ability to mitigate race, age, belief or anything else other than the intense focus on getting the job done and getting out alive.

It’s all in the interpretation of vague lines, and language translations make it all too easy.

Count to 10 on April 28, 2009 at 10:25 AM

Which of the biblical prophecies are you referring to as vague?

In no way shape form or fashion does any calculation of percent casualty rate detract or demean the incredible sacrifice and contribution by every service person every minute of every day 24 hours a day that we may sleep well and deep each of those minutes and each of those days.

Speakup on April 28, 2009 at 10:54 AM

In deed.
But it is hardly miraculous that one survives an experience were survival is the norm, not the exception.

I’m just saying the casualty rate wasn’t anywhere near %50.

It wasn’t exactly the cakewalk the media made it out to be around the first few months. We didn’t have the money like we do now for IBA and better Kevlar helmets.

leetpriest on April 28, 2009 at 10:38 AM

I don’t imagine it was a cakewalk by any means.

Ah, come on. Your chances of surviving Iraq were much better than your chances of dying there, and you know it.
Thanks for your service, though, and I mean that.

To those of you that think God is a myth:

You would have benefited from a tour in my unit in Iraq. You would have benefited from having the cherry sniped off of YOUR cigarette.

The fact that a frightened, skinny, teen-aged little IT guru made it out of Iraq alive with just a few scratches after serving the first within the first 100 days of the war is proof of God’s existence.

And I’m not a naive or unintelligent. Nor am I the least skeptical person.

If changes can happen and be passed down, evolution is inevitable.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it happened. I mean, the world could have come into existence yesterday.

Count to 10 on April 28, 2009 at 10:30 AM

evolution is all in all, praise darwin!

dominigan on April 28, 2009 at 8:58 AM

Because people walk in the light they are given and cannot live on a borrowed revelation – all that you wrote, while I agree with it, does not make sense to those who cannot see it. Think about Saul/Paul he could not see until he did. Faith is a gift from God – He is the author and finisher of our faith.

you mean like the finch of a beak changes sizes in generations, so we can infer that everything evolved….

uh yeah, I’ve thought for decades, that the US would abandon israel, based on those prophecies…and now its happening…

and the nations have NEVER been aligned like this before…and somehow Ezekiel just guessed…ok…

yeah israel is a nation, as the bible foretold, iran and russia are allied, as the bible predicted, and iran is israel’s primary enemy…its all ‘coincidence’

right4life on April 28, 2009 at 10:22 AM

And I supose you must be enthralled with all of the accurate predictions of Nostradamus, too. It’s all in the interpretation of vague lines, and language translations make it all too easy.

Loxodonta on April 28, 2009 at 1:46 AM

Amen!!! One cannot live on a borrowed revelation.

oh please, its pure conjecture, nothing more. its ‘compelling’ because the alternative, God, is unthinkable to you atheists…

right4life on April 28, 2009 at 10:14 AM

Quantum mechanics: that the wave function might not actually collapse, but rather the decoherance propagates, would imply all possibility happening simultaneously, thus multiverse.
Inflation: general versions of an inflating universe will have the inflation going on indefinitely with spots here and there that fall out and re-heat into something like our universe, thus a spacial multiverse.
Beyond that, yah, we get into things that are increasingly speculative, but still extrapolations from the observed universe.

Alternate explanation: Paul made it all up, using Jewish scripture as his guide, and all claims stem from the story he spread around. Gee, that was simple.

How is it even possible for him to form one coherent thought from all that random chaos… unless he first approaches it from a logical, designed universe…

…and agrees with us.
