I'm going to have to leave here for some time. Certain discussions I've been involved in disrupt my walk with God. I definitely have my faults, too, and I openly admit that. I'm honestly not sure how much of it is my fault, and how much belongs to this other individual. Regardless, he will never admit any fault, so I believe it is best for me to back off and cool down. Basically, it's destructive for me to be here because I get caught up in political debates when I should be focussing on God. So I'm going to take time away, spend much more time reading the Bible and praying. I'll still be reading the prayer requests but that's it. Take care & God bless, everyone.

Thank you for posting this. I wasn't aware such a site existed. This one caught my eye in paricular: http://www.militarycity.com/valor/581377.html He was from my homestate.

Nathan, I can relate to you. I will not comment on your age, because I know from experience that teenagers can fall in love. Whether yours is a case of love or infatuation...I can't determine that. I am still in love with a former friend of mine. She loved me in return, too, but we both realized for several reasons we couldn't be married. I haven't talked with her in nearly three months. God has begun to heal the pain, but I often think of her, and I pray for her every day. There is nothing wrong with that. If these feelings are not from God, then surrender them. I will pray for God to take the feelings away if they're not from Him, which, I believe that is the case.

Roe v Wade doesn't have to be overturned, because it is illegitimate to begin with. The Courts were never intended to serve as a final arbiter in Constitutional cases. Congress must legally affirm the personhood of the unborn; this will guarantee equal protection under the 14th Amendment, rendering abortion illegal throughout the States. The Supreme Court could do nothing to stop this because they have no police power.

I'm not sure I believe the article. Is there any accurate way to determine what goes on in that country? I think not.

Phelps does not know Jesus Christ.

IMHO, we should repeal all price/wage controls and allow them to be determined by the free market. There was a time not so long ago that the UK had no minimum wage, I believe under Margaret Thatcher. Unemployment went down and wages went up, as I recall.

I've watched the video. Here are my observations. 1) At the beginning of the video, you'll see a row of homosexuals wearing pink shirts - they are blocking the streets, which violates State law. 2) In the middle of the video, you'll see the homosexuals walking along with the Christian protestors. The homosexuals are mocking the Christians and infringing upon their right to protest. This violates State law. 3) Also in the video, you'll see the homosexuals covering up the Christians' signs with pink styrofoam barriers. This is an infringement upon the Christians' rights, it is intimidation, and it is against the law. In contrast... - The Christians did not intimidate the homosexuals. - The Christians did not "conspire" against the homosexuals. - The Christians only failed to disperse because 1) protest is a protected right; and 2) The police officers gave no reason why they should leave. Now let me ask you, if ANYONE deserved to be arrested, WHO is it? I suggest that if anyone deserved arrest, it was the radical sodomite wackos who infringed upon the Christians' 14th Amendment rights, and violated State law by intimidating the Christians and blocking the public walkways. As the Christians were arrested, you can hear the pathetic, shrill screams of the homosexuals in the background, cheering that the rights of others are being violated. What the Philadelphia police did is a direct violation of the 14th Amendment 'equal protection' clause and the 'privileges and immunities' clause. Furthermore, what the homosexuals did is absolutely descipable. Any true liberal will agree with me. Mark my words, this is only the beginning of the gay agenda. More is coming. And by the time Americans wake up, it will be too late.

Work In Progress, well said!

From my perspective, it does... women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. 1 Corinthians 14:34 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Read it in the entire context. It talks about them getting permission from their husbands. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At home, yes, but not at church... "As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home..." 1 Corinthians 14 33-35 I do not believe women are called to be pastors. Could be wrong, but I can only go by the convictions I have.

Um... My guy won. TWICE. Thus, I'm not a loser at all. The Democrats are pure slime. I voted for two of them in the past. Well, never again!

Then I suggest you cease in your judging of others for their personal beliefs. You're going to have to learn that you're not going to be correct 100% of the time. We're all flawed; I could very well be wrong on this matter, but I must follow my convictions. No. This is not a "rational" issue, nor do I subcribe to rationale. My beliefs stem from the precept that sovereignty is divided for a purpose. There are evil kings and there are good kings -- all are in place for a reason higher than our own. Being as this is a divisive matter upon which we shall never agree, I see no good reason to further discuss it here. Warm regards, Cherub

Selective reading. This (the Kitty Genovese case) could have been prevented had one individual in his/her own sphere of action made the decision to help her. Such is not the case when discussing an entire nation. It is not our business to interfere in the affairs of other nations; it is simply not for us to decide. God has placed all leaders into power for a reason. Saddam Hussein had no authority except which was given to him by God. "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above." John 19.11 While our nation was formed to serve as a beacon of liberty, it was not formed to search the world for monsters to destroy. It is not the sovereign right of any nation to do that. In the words of John Quincy Adams, "[America] goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own." You're looking at this from a globalist and humanist perspective. While that is admirable, you must accept that we're living in an unperfect world ruled by evil. Peace will never be possible in this world. If you believe otherwise, then you're in a fantasy world apart from the reality that man is flawed.

Super Jew, it is not possible to make a comparison to the Kitty Genovese case. This could have been prevented had one individual in his/her own sphere of action made the decision to help her. Such is not the case when discussing an entire nation. You are perfectly free to go to Iraq and try to help -- that is your decision. But you have no right to tell others that we must go along with you. Like I said: talk the talk, walk the walk. You are part of this "super power" nation as well; do not assume that you'll be allowed to sit back in your reclining chair with wifey and kids, all safe and sound at home, while I and others are forced to die in Africa. Do you have the courage to turn words into action? If not, then there is nothing to further argue.
