you should worry about what population is Christian if you are a Christian. God said to worry about it. It is your job to worry about it and to witness. How sad that you are a Christian and have such liberal views that go against what Jesus preached. How sad.

No, it is just annoying to me to come here
to come here to get different perspectives from other Democrats and have Conservatives constantly trying to force their views down my throat. I recognize you have a right to be here, but obviously neither one of us is ever going to agree 100% with the other, so I would rather get opinions primarily from other Democrats that I could actually learn from than someone that I just fundamentally disagree with on almost every political level.
I have friends that are Republicans, and some of them are great people, but I don't normally talk to them about politics because I don't want to offend them or get into a big fight, which is what it is every time. It's pretty much inevitable, and sometimes I would just like viewpoints from other liberals without having to defend every single view I have to someone who thinks my views are wrong in every way. Maybe I just shouldn't come to the board, but I do like to discuss politics and learn new things, so I will probably continue to come here.
Sam is like an annoying nat that you swat away!
Sam does not have the intelligence or power to get under my "vulgar skin." The only people who are able to get under my skin are people for whom I have respect. Sam it nowhere near earning my respect. Her posts are ignorant and meaningless, and they certainly do not deserve my respect!
me too! She is soooo annoying!!
:)
There are those annoying words again
"vault copy" and "scary." Will you ever give it up?????
Sam is not smart...she is just annoying and persistent.
She is a legend in her own mind!
Annoying phone call
You have no idea what is about to happen to this country if you do indeed vote for Hussane Obama. He is a socialist, and worse than that. Bottom line, truth of the matter is he wants to turn this country to socialism. You did not have to answer your phone. You chose to answer your phone. If you picked up the phone and realized what the add was you just hang up. How difficult is that? On the other hand, if Hussane Obama's group would have been on the other line, you would have fallen all over yourself. Come November remember this one thing if you do not remember anything else, you chose to vote for a "known terrorist." I do not know what news you are "listening too." I personally do NOT watch mainline TV -- esp not Communist network (CNN) as they are very slanted and do not deliver the true matters of things. Just remember you were warned, and if you vote a known terrorist backer then when this country becomes socialistic....you are the one who helped put him in there. YOu should be thankful for what you have already, and thankful for that phone call.
What's exceptionally annoying about politics in general ...
... is when someone comes out with an accusation (or a promise) and doesn't back it up with real information, facts, or plans.
Kind of like this post.
Well, I always say if you preach something...
you should not only talk the talk but walk the walk. AL Gore is not walking the walk. And yes, the bottom line is that no one really knows...yet Al Gore in his movie contends that he does...and therein lies the rub. There are alternate theories that make as much sense as his...all that being said...when you can this planet can only support so many humans...are we talking population control now? And if so, how are you going to accomplish that...?
Preach on, Sam s/m
Couldn't have said it better myself. With all my "muttness" I value ethnic traditions that are woven into the fabric of my family that were passed on to me, then my children and now grandchildren. But we are AMERICANS...period. My husband has Polish ancestry and we have also embraced his traditions.
THEY DO NOT ALL PREACH THAT. I am sorry you went to some that did. nm

dont preach
Oh please, we also do not give sermons to other Americans how to act in a tragedy. I blame whomever is at the helm of the ship when tragedy strikes. I blame this administration for cuts in the federal money sent to states..I blame Bush for not knowing what the heck he is doing with this tragedy. Even officials of FEMA are speaking out about no aid coming New Orleans way, too little too late and thankfully the people will remember this next November when we vote. Please, do not try to tell others what we should and should not do. The disaster could have been averted, if they had the money to reinforce the levees..but no, that money had to go to Iraq so we could kill more people..Have you helped the victims yet? Well, I have..sniff..sniff..I smell a usual conservative poster to the liberal board using a different handle right now..is that you??
Whoo hoo! Preach it, JR!
Now that's something I'd go to church to hear:)
You are soooo right - equality is the last thing they want. Unfortunately, that's the sad history of the Christian Church for several thousand years now - beat 'em over the head and stuff it down their throats until they LIKE it! And I'm speaking as a dedicated Christian - not one that would be averse to throwing a rotten tomato in Falwell's face, but hey, I'm human. I stick close to the red words and I can smell a skunk as well as anybody. Deceit, usury, plotting in back rooms, hidden motivations, lying, murder, worsening the plight of the poor, coveting privilege, desiring persecution of the innocent - not Christian values in my book. Shame, shame on those who wear the cross and support torture and murder and thievery under the guise of bringing salvation (or spreading freedom)- there is no excuse for it.
All you can do is preach to the choir.

Too bad you can't practice what you preach...nm
A parent can preach all they want to........ sm
but most times kids will stray from that teaching whether through pure rebellion or in an effort to make their own way. Sometimes they return to their parents' teaching, sometimes they don't.
Did you follow your parents' teaching to the letter? Did you follow all their rules? I doubt it very seriously. I know I didn't, but as I have grown older and have raised 2 boys myself, I now see the value in the teachings of my parents.
I agree with sbMT and others here who have said that it is sad that you find such happiness in others' troubles. I hope you are never disappointed by your own kids, and if you are, I certainly hope no one else finds joy in your misery.
That Republicans who preach the most to everyone
NM
While you continue to preach to the choir
su
Oh cmon - get real. ALL churches preach
solely behind the pulpit, either. I'm sure just as much hatred is spewed at those QUILTING BEES, or during Athletes for Christ football practice.
Give me equal rights, gay marriage and pride, and freedom to believe as I choose ANY day, over all tht archaic religious fear-mongering.
Learn to spell lesson first before you preach right

if you want to preach, go to church, I know better than you, see my lower posts...nm

Your on the wrong board - you need to preach on the faith board
You just delivered a sermon (or quote). Either way it doesn't belong here. What does this have to do with politics. The democrat and republican party did not start up until after the 1800s. Socialism also wasn't created until the 1800s.
To me your post describes the way humans should treat other humans. This has nothing to do with politics - imho.
