I was just asking if you had anything Biblical to support your statements.

I was merely mocking the Catholics. They seem to accept all kinda stuff that has no basis in the bible.

Helen wasn’t so bad when she was young.

But then; neither was I.

I just know that the Mother Superior was NOT a woman *I* would have ever made disagreeable.

Boys; you shouldn't talk to the penguin like that.

Liars will not enter into the kingdom of God. You didn’t like me pointing out your hypocrisy and you didn’t address my point did you?!

ok actually you did address my point BUT it is you who brought a candidate’s sister into the thread not I. I pointed out your hypocrisy.

Of course Trump spoke well of his sister, what he is going to publicly say bad things about her.

Now here is DU like behavior, you drag Trump’s sister in even though Trump never said he would nominate her for anything. He has actually said he would not nominate her for SCOTUS.

Actually I did not know she was dead. I mentioned her in response as a comparison to CC’s DU like comment on Trump’s sister, but his comment is ok with you isn’t it?

So what did I supposedly lie about?

Perhaps you shouldn't answer in so much haste.

I didn't bring up Cruz' sister because she had no pertinence to my point. Trump's sister did. For it to be hypocrisy, the situations have to have some similarity.

FWIW, I don't hold misbehaving siblings against anyone unless the person is facilitating the misbehavior which no one has alleged in either case.

Cruz never said his sister would be a great US Supreme Court Justice like Trump did his liberal abortion-loving sister.

Here are the facts, those who are running an election bid as a religious campaign and not a political campaign will be totally rejected by the American people in the general election and actually will not be able to win a nomination to run at all.

The reason for this is, typically and effectively, any such candidate whose main dogma or theme is a religious one and not a political one, is almost always wrapped up in religious sectism that is outside of the mainstream of religion in America, or whose tendency is to surround themselves with off the farm personalities of a disturbing nature that eventually will often turn on their mentor in the end due to the very nature of their disturbance of the mind.

This election is not about an imminent return of Jesus or the end times or any such thing, while that may be the discussion among a congregation it is not the discussion that Americans are interested in when voting in the general election in 2016.

It is the economy, number one, and followed in no particular order by immigration and terrorism. All three has in one way, a symbiotic relation to each other or can notably impact one against the other.

The Cruz campaign, under the auspices of Rafael Cruz and Glenn Beck, is increasingly being associated with a religious campaign and not a political campaign, and the religious aspect is increasingly being seen as a form of cultism, as the election moves forward there will come more and more exposure in the media to this aspect and which will be seen as a serious issue, the religious campaign will be totally rejected by the American people. It is increasingly doubtful in my opinion that Cruz at this juncture will get the nomination, but if by chance he does, the same dynamic of the public rejecting politicians and no longer respecting them because too many have been revealed as phony and self-serving is the same dynamic of the pubic rejecting ballyhoo preachers because too many have been revealed as phony and self-serving, or often the most vocal being border line lunatics or full blown disturbed personalities.

Beck is an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church Monastery, right here is California, specifically Modesto, California, of which other of its ordained ministers includes Hugh Heffner and John Lennon (dead). He has jumped from one religion to another, there are now “rumors” that he may convert to Judaism (if that is even possible, it would likely be his own conversion in his own mind). He is mixed up in cults and has serious personality disorders and lives in an apocalyptic end times world that reflects his own apocalyptic and self-destructive conflicts within his own mind.

In other words, the reality is, the voters of American are not fixated on who is a Christian bettered than the next. They care about the economy, immigration and terrorism. In fact, a “layman” is more trusted than a “preacher” as far as the voters are concerned.

Beck is an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church Monastery...

I wonder if his Mormon BISHOP knows about this; considering Temple Recommend question #7!!

A United States District Court ruled in 2002 that a Utah statute declaring Universal Life Church ordinations invalid was unconstitutional.[15]  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Life_Church_Monastery
