RE: George Will sounds like some sort of atheist.
He is an atheist. I believe he openly said so some time back.
Amen. Alpha and Omega.
A lot of folks who self-identify as conservatives are not.
Moments after his last breath, unless he repents and become reconciled to YHWH in the mean time, we can refer to George Will (as one wag cited Christopher Hitchens) as a “former atheist.”
How do I know you’re not one of them?
Who’s to judge? It’s who they vote for that matters.
Wasn’t GA’s Jimmuh Carter an admirer of Niebuhr?
Will is so full of himself that he considers himself too good to associate with the Son of a carpenter.
Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV) 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
True words
I don’t know about Jimmy. One thing that used to be good about Reinhold Niebuhr was that in the context of WWII and then the Cold War, he argued against the more idiotic leftists who wanted to be total pacifists. Reinhold Niebuhr was liberal, but not the suicidal kind.
“You’re talking to one.”
That is an interesting comment.
Question, if I may. Do you believe “ . . . that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”?
Drop out the creator part and the answer is ‘yes.’
“Drop out the creator part and the answer is ‘yes.’”
If you do not believe the Creator gave you your unalienable Rights, then who gave them to you?
Then I'm guessing your screen name doesn't refer to Thomas Jefferson.
By the very fact of being born. Thanks for asking. I’m done with this subject.
Will is a confesse atheist
BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE THIS WAS A HIT PIECE AT THE BEHEST OF NATIONAL REVIEW AND FOR ONE REASON
HIS FAILURE TO REMONSTRATE NIXON IN PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS NEARLY FIFTY YEARS AGO THEY HAD IN WHICH NIXON MADE INSENSTIVE POLITICAL COMMENTS
THATS WHAT WE’VE COME TO....BILLY GRAHAM BASHERS AND NEVER TRAMPERS SAME EXCREMENT CIRCLING THE TOLIET
SOMEBODY TELL ME IM LYING
“Then I’m guessing your screen name doesn’t refer to Thomas Jefferson.”
Thomas Jefferson was not an atheist. He was a Deist.
“By the very fact of being born. Thanks for asking. I’m done with this subject.”
You are a conservative. You just don’t believe in the foundational document of the United States - the Declaration of Independence.
I figured it was something like that.
When it comes to Jefferson's religious beliefs you aren't on solid ground making a blanket statement like that.
