[ Coveting is "wanting stuff." I suggest a dictionary.]

Like I said..

You said what? What dictionary defines "to covet" as being anything other than "to want," or perhaps "to want way too much?"

Words mean things. Leave it to the Libs to redefine words to mean what you want, not what they mean.

[Hacksaw]

Gee, where did I read... "Always respond with name calling. Nothing wins an argument better than a good old ad-hominen." Oh, yes, it was here: http://www.freerepublic.com/~hacksaw/ "Hacksaw - a flawed man trying to do better." Hmmm.

Weak try - stating a the fact that you are a troll is not name calling. You have taken digs at people's faith and then whined about "ad hominens" when others responded in kind to you, tried as a non Christian to lecture us on the "correct" interpretation of the Biblal events (a LOL if I ever saw one), and completely disrupted the topic of the thread - and already admitted that you were banned before (not surprising at all). Any future comments by you on the subject will be viewed in that light (trolling).

Hmmm yourself.

What dictionary defines "to covet" as being anything other than "to want," or perhaps "to want way too much?"

Merriam-Webster, for one:

Covet:
1 : to wish for enviously
2 : to desire (what belongs to another) inordinately or culpably intransitive senses : to feel inordinate desire for what belongs to another

Note the key words "enviously" and "inordinate".

Words mean things. Leave it to the Libs to redefine words to mean what you want, not what they mean.

Okay, I'll leave it to you, Lib. You have no idea what you are talking about.

U.S. District Judge Robert L. Miller Jr. ordered the display's removal in a judgment filed Monday, saying the Constitution forbids a government to post the Ten Commandments in a government building.

Hrmmm... my copy of the Constitution must be different.

[expatguy]

Also, doesn't the Constitution state that "...all men are created equal....and endowed "by their Creator" (God to all those atheist and activist judges out there!) with certain rights?

Its only a matter of time before some judge declares the Constitution unconstitutional.

> stating a the fact that you are a troll is not name calling.

No, it's not. It's factually inaccurate (I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it wasn't a lie), but it's not name calling. However...

> (what an idiot!)

That's name calling, and demonstrates a lack of arguement on your part.

Which differ amterially from "way too much" in what way?

Sheesh.

[philetus]

Right. In all humanity, if someone already has one of a specific model, noone else can get the same one.

[Hacksaw]

No, it's not. It's factually inaccurate (I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it wasn't a lie), but it's not name calling. However...

Wrong. Disrupting the topic and baiting people is trolling.

That's name calling, and demonstrates a lack of arguement on your part.

Except it was an accurate assesment of your understanding of coveting.

[Hacksaw]

Which differ amterially from "way too much" in what way? Sheesh.

"Way too much" does not nearly demonstrate the context of the definition of the verb covet, and that you are using it inaccurately.

Sheesh yourself. I think you know better than this, so I won't beat a horse that is already dead.

[Hacksaw]

Which differ amterially from "way too much" in what way?

I should also mention that using "wanting way too much" as a definition for covet is so broad that it could mean anything to drug addiction. Context is important. I think this horse is growing mold and composting at this point.
