In reply to You are indeed a CIVIL Dem,

Do you want a solution or an empty promise?

Can you, will you talk politics without talking religion? Because in practical terms, they really are two separate subjects.

In practical terms they are not separate. One claims to be the best form of governance to managing and governing mankinds affairs, the other is.

What I find so annoying is so many of you spout off invididual ideas about solutions to the problems we face.

When given the opportunity, to learn of an alternative, to the failed political solutions, there are those who would shut the messenger down. “We strictly forbid you to preach about his kingdom,

Would some if given an opportunity, taunt me, slap me, or spit upon me too? For hoping for a better government a kingdom, that really would bring the solutions we seek? For I have observed and concluded, our government never intends to deliver or can't.

Just as you have written "can you talk politics without religion" Why?

Am I not affected by political decisions made by men? Someone between God fearing or wicked.

How will I measure the character? I expect whoever tells me he can solve the problems, to measure up to a higher standard, than just lying politician or crooked banker.

How much of our problems are due to men of corrupted values.

IMHO Values mean something.

Would you deny that the planet and all life is in peril; and despite Government promises the Nations are hopelessly lost.

Do you want a solution or empty promises?

You are indeed a CIVIL Dem,

In reply to Well, this is my last comment

You are indeed a CIVIL Dem, C'Ville. Your responses to what can only be seen as an irrational personal attack of you based solely on a difference of belief is a credit to you.

Resistance: so often what you say makes sense to me -- in terms of your identification of issues we are all concerned about, as well as your obvious concern for the common good, etc.. But when you get on a holy roll, you lose perspective, imo, and all your obvious care and concern for your fellow man and woman gets lost in the OTT obsessive invective.

Can you, will you talk politics without talking religion? Because in practical terms, they really are two separate subjects .... or should be, particularly in America where we are supposed to have a clear cut line of demarcation between church and state.

You read in C'Ville's remarks what you personally fear, not what she actually said. Might you apologize for that?

In reply to Does it seem fair to you that

Well, this is my last comment on this thread: Resistance, based on what you write, you should be a serenely happy person, gently pointing others toward the enlightenment you claim to have.

Instead you focus on all that is wrong in the world and blame it all on non-believers (claiming at the same time that WE blame god --whom we DON'T actually believe exists -- for all that is wrong in the world) ...oh, and if innocent children get "smitten" by the wrath of god...what-ev's. Because their parents don't believe a particular thing. Huh?

You give as an example of god's wondrous mercy, a flood that according to the bible killed every man, woman, child, and animal on earth except for a few that got on board a boat.

Good luck, Resistance. I think you are in a lot of pain. I hope it gets better for you.

Odd, I didn't recognize the fruitage of the spirit in your comment.

As for what is it to me.

I love truth, I hate fraud and deception.

There's to much of that in the world already.

In reply to I'm lookin' through

Corruption of principles of decency is so vogue today, it's any wonder we're in the mess were in.

While all the hypocrites cry about how we treat our fellow man and that we should do more.

Actions speak louder

Is this due to starvation? Spiritual darkness?

I am more encouraged to keep seeking the right path.

In reply to Aw, fer chrissakes, CVille!

Starved class indeed,

An intellectually dishonest comparison.

Do you really think God really approves of this conduct? Or are these people slandering God?

(Matthew 7:21-23) ²¹ “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. ²² Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ ²³ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

I gave you more credit than that sleepin, that you were above stereotyping and were more intellectually honest.

Just say no to Yahweh.

In reply to Just as all the other would

Just say no to Yahweh. Jesus, on the other hand, is my Lord and Saviour. What the fuck is it to you?

Aw, fer chrissakes, CVille!

In reply to So, nothing more contemporary

Aw, fer chrissakes, CVille! Don't discount the Flood, or dismiss it so lightly! It's really a pretty neat parlor trick if you can pull it off! Guaranteed to impress the neighbors!

You want more recent testament of the wonder of god and how he sure works in mysterious ways? I direct your attention to these pious believers and their Mission to preach the Law of God to dead soldiers and their families. Truly wondrous, this god thing.

Fight no longer, oh ye child of god. Turn your will and your life - and your intellect, too! - over to the god of the scriptures. What could possibly go wrong?
