...an hour after her and all other diplomat departures, "Glass Parking Lot"
Vicki
These raticals are very dangerous!! People like Rosie O'Donnel try and tell us take they are "misunderstood" Well I understand pretty well they are nutcases! All this over a Teddy Bear. Lets not forget the cartoon! Ok I understand if they get miffed about their religion being mocked I get POed when people mock Christianity - ie the homosexuals in San Fran going to Communion - But am I going to start a riot and ask for their deaths - NO.

this is the real danger of the "ratical Muslims". Its not that they want to blow up buildings - its that they want to blow up us because we exsist. That's it, their only reason, because we believe something other than what they believe, therefore we have no right to exist at all.

Sounds just a little Hitler, Lennon, Castro, Mao Tse-tung how far should I go??
Mara
Hmmm. the title of the thread is 'religion of love' and I do find it a tad ironic - gentle smile.

Not trying to start a scrap here, Vicki, but the words "the homosexuals in San Fran going to Communion" make me want to weep.

Is it really a reflection on anyone else's beliefs? If it a bad thing when one more person turns to God?

I write this as a member, surely not as a Moderator, but while I do understand that many people feel the same way, where does the 'love' in religion start and where does it stop. Gentle sigh.

Well it makes you feel that way sometimes Vicky, you do not sound at all like those evil people you listed. I do believe there is a place for all, and if people have such wide differences of opinion and lifestyle, never the twain should meet. I guess Mrs. Gibbons will not be going back to Sudan, and be assured, wild horses would not drag me there or anywhere similar. Unfortunately the plutocrats that control the U.K. economy like low wages and high property prices, so here in England now the dangerous twain meets. Indeed the French now call London, 'Londistan', and the problems that may lay ahead for my country could be rather sticky to say the least.

Same here. I seem to recall a news article from SF about a couple of Homosexuals that went to receive communion, cross dressing as nuns, the Priest (Catholic) only found out after the fact and said he would not have gave it to them had he known. Mocking God is something I wouldn't want to have to answer for come Judgment Day.
Mara
Good grief! To act as pretend Nuns is is vile! Similar perhaps to a man (note I don't refer to him as a gentleman) who was a Minister for many years, got booted out because of having affairs with his parishioners - and then has the audacity to wear a collar while flying and to think sitting at our dining table sharing (and laughing!) about the people he meets on these flights and the soul-filled talks they have. Once at our table and in our home was enough.

Sorry I got a tad off-tracked here - but for myself, religion aside, he's a huge poop - just as the pretend Nuns are.

Thanks for the 'vote of support', Joy ... I know I'm not a religious person but do root for all who wish to seek God in peace.

Religion?

Google Revilo P Oliver: he said: "Christianity was a disease of the brain."

In USA there is one connection between a religion and Americans Duty it Citizenship. Sadly not many, if any, Americans even know of that connection, if there are any that know it they pay it no attention. Particularly Americans know not their Duty in Citizenship.

That one religious (Christianity) connection to Americans Duty in Citizenship is Christ's Command to Love your Neighbor. Otherwise religion has nothing to do with USA government. As a matter of constitutional fact USA governments are forbidden any jurisdiction in any religion:

Article VI

Clause 3 ...; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

And

BILL OF RIGHTS

Article of Amendment #1

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ...

Americans should read the Constitution once in a while for "enforced" it is the Law that Rules USA governments.

First let me start offf by saying I'm sorry for my word usage. Not as PC as I should be I guess.

Second I believe everyone has their rights be, do, say anything they want, what my point was is that the Christians are the ONLY group that can not be heard. It's all right to bash the Christians because we don't have a lobby.

We were instructed by Christ to turn the other cheek. To that end there are no recourse but to just take what the world wants to dish out. I know Christ warned us that we would be persucuted for his name, but in this world of "enlightenment" why isn't there a Tolerance for us too? We are not allowed to speak his name in Public or celebrate His days or his victories.

In most colleges now the Koran/Muslum toterance is a subject that is taught, Where is the ACLU protesting that?
Allan
No apology necessary to me.

I disagree that everybody has Rights, for sure Americans have Rights and free speech is one of them,

It is not alright with me to bash anyone but telling the truth is not necessarily bashing, lying is what is wrong and a crime.

If we understand a few things Lobbyist are wrong and very close to being criminals, if not in fact criminals.

Do you know which sect, or entity, is persecuting Christians? I do and Oliver speaks on the subject.

“Enlightenment”? The fact of that matter is there in more darkness than light in the world today.

The ACLU is not American, civil rights is not American.

PC is not in my vocabulary, I only speak American and not very well at that. However, you made some good points. Christianity is very much under heavy assault and for many years too. Christians taking Christ’s saying, not a command, out of context is part of why Oliver said Christianity was a disease of the brain. Are you sure you have “turn the other cheek” in the correct context? I think you missed it.

But then what do you think about Christ’s “command” to love your neighbor? Do you see any connection to Americans Duty in Citizenship and that command?
