Welcome.
"Errm...where does God ...Hey Gus <br /><br />Welcome. <br /><br />"Errm...where does God come from then?" <br /><br />God IS. He IS the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. He always was. Now, like you, I have often wondered if HE has an Origin. One of the MANY questions I want to ask Him. If I ever get the chance. <br /><br />But what takes more faith to believe? One single Cell Organism coming from NOTHING, that over time became Trees, Planets, Hot Blooded, Cold Blooded, ALL life as we know it, or God said, and it was so? Science has NOT dis-proven God. But it DOES disprove the Theory of Evolution without Him. <br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10686486138001196847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26522515.post-5275574119641448652011-09-13T05:51:18.318-04:002011-09-13T05:51:18.318-04:00Hey Fr33think3r
Welcome. That is one of my Point...Hey Fr33think3r <br /><br />Welcome. That is one of my Points. <br /><br /><b>"After reading your post it seems that you find it hard to understand why someone might be critical toward you views."</b><br /><br />What ARE my views? Do you know? The point of THIS Article was to point out the Hypocrisy of how Christians are treated. But I have a feeling you are talking about my FAITH. And NOT that I would like to see all Religions and those that Practice them, treated equally. <br /><br />Not sure what you mean here. <br /><br /><b>"I would like to suggest that many of the claims that you make are thoroughly refuted in other publications, If those discussing these matters with you are aware of the refutation they might find your point of view less than compelling."</b> <br /><br />OK. You are talking about??<br /><br /><b>"The varied religious beliefs or non-belief are in conflict. So one’s religious practices might infringe upon someone else’s practices. As a result our society has placed restrictions on everyone in order to keep order.</b> <br /><br />But we DO. We have a Constitutional RIGHT. Freedom OF Religion, not freedom FROM Religion. People come to this Country for our Freedoms. When we start restricting our Freedoms for the "benefit of all" we start to loose the very reasons people come here. <br /><br />Thank you for your comments. I will do a follow up on this on Sunday. I hope you check it out. I have done so in the past, yet, I feel it needs to be revisited from time to time to help others understand the Difference I see in Organized Traditions of men, called Religion, and True FAITH. Hope to see you then. <br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10686486138001196847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26522515.post-61128153152907127452011-09-13T05:30:54.588-04:002011-09-13T05:30:54.588-04:00Hey phlebas,
Welcome to the OPNTalk Blog. Glad y...Hey phlebas, <br /><br />Welcome to the OPNTalk Blog. Glad you stopped by. <br /><br />No not really. Just pointing out the FACT that you can pretty much say whatever you want about someone based on preconceived stereotypical, notions that may not even be close to reality, as long as they claim Christianity. Yet, say something about another Religion, or those that Follow it, you are chastised for it, and in some cases, it is even illegal. So my point is, treat ALL Religions Equally. <br /><br />I assure you, not sure why it would matter to you, but I have read the complete Bible. {Smile} Have you?<br /><br /><b>"It's all nonsense. Of course it's not a crime to be a Christian anything in this country."</b> <br /><br />THAT is my point. Thank you. Thank you for also acknowledging that the majority of people in this Country ARE Christian. Which is one of the whole reasons we are even HERE AS a Country. <br /> <br /><b>It's a complex world, we need leaders with complex minds and complex solutions to complex problems.</b> <br /><br />ABSOLUTELY! That is why Obama needs to leave. This is no time to have a child playing President. We need a TRUE Leader that is unafraid to do what needs to be done. In ANY Situation. Not someone who's Intelligence level is COMPLETELY made up by the Media. No proof whatsoever. Yet you seem to think that YOU can determine the Republicans Minds? They have simple Minds? Well, some of them I agree. {Smile} <br /><br />Listening to Jon Stewart is not a good way to attempt to win an argument. He is a Comedian. He reads a script well. But then again, so does Obama. <br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10686486138001196847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26522515.post-57205325496257480062011-09-12T14:59:07.908-04:002011-09-12T14:59:07.908-04:00"Hell, if I tell the TRUTH, that Evolution MI..."Hell, if I tell the TRUTH, that Evolution MINUS God, is Scientifically IMPOSSIBLE, I'm called stupid, hateful, and closed minded.

After all you have so much on your side. I hope to offer some insight.<br />I would like to suggest that many of the claims that you make are thoroughly refuted in other publications. If those discussing these matters with you are aware of the refutation they might find your point of view less than compelling. <br />I also suggest you turn your criticism inward. Many of your arguments could be stronger. For example, in a pluralistic society one cannot have the right to practice their religion anywhere or at any time. The varied religious beliefs or non-belief are in conflict. So one’s religious practices might infringe upon someone else’s practices. As a result our society has placed restrictions on everyone in order to keep order. <br />I hope you find my comments helpful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26522515.post-89979929847420064692011-09-12T08:20:57.771-04:002011-09-12T08:20:57.771-04:00I can visualize this post being squeezed out behin...I can visualize this post being squeezed out behind clenched teeth. Spittle running down the chin, occasionally falling onto a tightly gripped, well-thumbed but never completely read Bible.<br /><br />It's all nonsense. Of course it's not a crime to be a Christian anything in this country. The only thing that's changed is that fewer and fewer people are willing to be told what to do by someone else just because that someone else claims to have God's voice ringing in their ears. <br /><br />It's a complex world, we need leaders with complex minds and complex solutions to complex problems. What we have with this current batch of Republican politicians are simple minds who feel that distrust of science and critical thinking is some sort of virtue. Electing one of those fearful pinheads will be bad for the country and for the world, no matter how many times he or she (well... "he") tells us to pray.<br /><br />But no one is being prohibited from getting elected because they are Christians. 85% of the people in the country are Christians. With luck, they are only being prohibited from getting elected because they are morons.<br /><br />To quote Jon Stewart: "Is there an expiration date on this Christian persecution complex?"phlebashttp://blog.themanversion.netnoreply@blogger.com
