From the perspective of the world Christians are suppose to sound foolish, especially if they are saying the right thing. We also have our own disagreements among ourselves to make us look even more stupid to the world.

Are you saying the court system is always fair and consistant. I want you to start a thread with that title.
I'm not saying that at all, though I do believe our court system is one of the fairest and most consistent ever achieved by civilized man. What I was illuminating with my comment was your incredible hypocracy with church and state issues. When it comes to government inference with the practice of your religion, you get righteous and indignant. But when it comes to government interference with the practice of other peoples' religion---religion you deem invalid---you wipe your hands, walk away, and say so what. Even worse, you say if they get punished a little bit it's a-ok with you.
You can't have your cake and eat it too, Wonk. If government interference is bad for your religion, it's bad for all religion. I can't believe a contributor to a conservative website actually has difficulty with this simple bit of theory.

Saying that I expect persecution from the government and saying that I don't look to them for support is not getting righteous and indignant. When I see the government actually do something right in a higher view I'm not going to drop to a libertarian world view and defend everyone's right to do what ever they want. Defending a queers and witches rights to do what they want is like defending a baby's right to play in the street.

According the the guys in the Vatican the charismatic movement is outside The Church, hence there is no Charismatic Catholicism. Now I realize there are people who for the most part are practicing Catholics, except for the occassional speaking in tongues and they call themselves Charismatic Catholics. But according to the Vatican they're wrong, and since it's the boys in the Vatican that decide what is and isn't Catholicism (for good or ill) then that's the way it is, there are no Charismatic Catholics, at best these people are Charismatic Almost Catholics.

Yes. If a gay bathhouse is in your town and sodomites flock to it, a community should be able to get rid of it. Are you saying that the people have no rights at all in a situation like this?Wow! In message #58 you lament about Christians being persecuted, and you want to persecute others for not believing in your values. Hypocrite!

I, myself, find that hard to believe as well (The part about my still being here).
Well, FReeping is pretty damn addictive, you know :) |

I am an athiest, and I really don't care what superstition you wish to follow. I think that they're the psychological and philosophical equivalents of security blankets. I will, however, defend to the death your right to believe what you will and worship as you will. I do that because I live in this country and happend to believe strongly in the right of people to assemble and do whatever the hell they want in their private lives. I also believe that if we ever lost that right myself and my fellow athiests would be some of the first against the wall. My dog tags would have said athiest when I joined the Army but they refused to put it there. They put non instead. Whatever they want covers a lot of ground which is a point I've tried to make several times on this thread.
These pagans aren't hurting anyone, and I fail to see why you object so strongly to their right to assemble and worship as they will in private.
I don't object that strongly. I believe they have a right to believe what ever they want as I've already said. I object to the lie they believe as I do the lie that you believe and I won't fight very hard to defend a lie. That is the point I am trying to make. It's a religious point.
Your kind of "I'm a Christian before I'm an American" pap is what makes me think that the ACLU might not be wrong in keeping religion out of public life.
"Defend to the death" is PAP. You proved it yourself before you even finished your little rant.

Well, "sir," I guess the problem is that you failed to see the point of my previous response. As I said, God put clothes on Adam and Eve after they sinned, and it wasn't because they were cold. It was because of SIN. Prior to their doing so, they were innocent and naked, and all was good. But, once they sinned, their "eyes" were suddenly and immediately opened to sin and all its ramifications. They realized they were naked, and that it felt bad to be naked. They were ashamed. They hid from God. They needed clothes, not because they were cold and not because the body is no longer a beautiful "art form," but because they were naked and ashamed of themselves. It was suddenly wrong to stand around naked.
Even today, we (most of us, anyway) wear clothes, not only because we're cold or ugly. We do so because it's the right thing to do.
If you think that makes me an "ignorant prude," you can go "flog" yourself (verbally or not, I couldn't care less).
