lets pray for our troops

For me... I pray for them along with the American troops, Australian troops, Canadian troops etc. whether they are posted someplace in peacekeeping duties, or war zones.

Well, that's something, anyway, Intrepid. Me, I fervently wish this outrageous invasion hadn't happened in the first place. Do any of you, as Christians, have problems with the fact that it did?

You people are bringing on these negative feelings all on your own! I've always been tolerant of all faiths, but I'm starting to hate you so-called Christians with a passion. For starters, I doubt if any of you can agree on what a true Christian is !! Secondly, the more you force your "faith" into being law, the more I can't stand you. When you back a warmonger who is killing people for power and greed while he makes a fool of you, it doesn't speak well for your so-called moral structure. Keep up the good work boys and girls, pretty soon you'll have a tremendous backlash against your movement!!

is this like an organized threat?

It's going to be how people treat you as they get tired of your pushing Theocracy as Law! It's got nothing about being a threat, it's about reaction to the Christian belief that their faith should be legislated!!

msolga,

Isn't the point of this thread to pray for the troops because they are where they are? Does getting angry and lashing out at each other help anything?

Not every Christian supports the war. Not every Christian supports Bush. The point is the troops are there. Until they are home, they need our prayers. That is the point.

How DARE you try to decide who has the right to post on threads in ANY forum?

Why do YOU post on threads which propose ideas differing from yours, and attempt to promote your daft rapture and tell everyone who disagrees with you that you "hope" god will not send them to hell.


MA, your irrationality needs to be tempered with some degree of self knowledge.

Your post is nonsense.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand you thinking I dared anyone anything, dlowan. I just asked a question of msolga so I could understand better where she was coming from.

I don't promote anything, dlowan. I have over and over again said I don't ask anyone to accept or believe what I post. It's my opinion, my view, etc. The same as others.

I have not one time told anyone that if they don't believe what I believe they will go to hell and I honestly don't think I ever said I hope God doesn't send someone to hell.

I am very sorry you don't understand what I meant. I honestly don't see what I did to offend you. I am afraid you completely misunderstood what I posted to msolga.

msolga,

Isn't the point of the title of a thread to draw people to the thread? Isn't it up to the reader to decide if they want to be part of what the original poster posts?

May I ask you, why did you come to this thread if you didn't like (not sure of the right word here) the premise of the thread? I am sincerely asking because I just don't understand why you would if you don't want to be engaged in religious discussions and prayer is obviously religious.[/b]

You want to legislate the Christian faith? Are you serious?

You get angry at Christians because we vote considering our religious beliefs and YOU want to legislate our faith? I'm sorry, but that really sounds like a huge double standard to me.

dlowan do you know why Jesus wept?

Some folks prolly oughtta take a couple of these




and see how they feel in the morning.

Anon - you have some real problems dude

dlowan,

I just hit the quote the last message and replied to it.

I'm sorry, it appears to me that Anon thinks the Christian faith should be legislated. Part of it? All of it? Just the ones he/she doesn't agree with?

I have stated I know what the Bible says pertaining to me about heaven and hell. I have stated God is the only one that can make that decision about who goes to hell or not. I cannot and will not make that decision.

I can't be any clearer than that.

No more than you would if us "godless" folk went around and tried to make "Satanism" the law of the land.

Then you lack clarity, since you completelymisunderstand what Anon has said.

Yes, you can. You just don't want to.

This is a good example of what drives me crazy about you Momma, even though I do think you mean well. you say you are a Christian, but when it comes to the actual MEANING behind this, your logic and reason just shut down and there is this disconnect that occurs. I don't know how you can do this and not see it.

If you believe in Christianity, then you MUST believe that people who don't follow the teachings of Jesus, or even believe in god at all, are going to hell.

But you seem to feel that if you don't actually say that straight out like that, it gives you a pass.

This kind of thinking gives me a headache. How about you? Do you have migraines? Don't you maybe feel some kind of pressure build-up or something?
