Then why are we discussing this? Go ahead and convert to Islam.

It's not what you say under extreme duress that matters, it's what's in your heart.
Suppose they had knives to your childrens throats, you'd proclaim whatever they wanted, even if in your heart you didn't believe it.
OTOH, proclaiming one is a devout Christian doesn't make him/her one if he/she doesn't really believe.

I will not criticize individuals. Our government failed.

Don't you think that is why people have been admonished to not take the mark of the beast no matter what?

Why warn people to not take the mark, if its ok to do so to ____________.

save their life
save their children's lives
fool the beast
eat
to purchase things
because they love this world and don't want to leave it.

how do people know that Steve and Olaf were even religious men at all ? i dont get it. this thread is a mass mess

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

maybe I am just seeing the world from a different perspective than other christians.

I see human beings as human beings, creations of God that are loved no matter what their religion or culture. I think people in this thread are only seeing the world in reguards to religious labels. It doesnt really matter to me if someone is a muslim or an atheist. I will talk to them with basic respect that I do all people. no innoecent man or woman deserves to get their head cut off or shot.

i tend to think that you, I and a few others in this thread are seeing the bigger picture while others are not.
