A Return to Triangulation (libertarion vs social right)
National Review Online ^ | 10/25/06 | David Boaz & David Kirby

Posted on 10/25/2006 11:10:46 AM PDT by Blackirish

As the Republican base fragments and Christian conservatives consider a “fast” from politics, the polling data point to a mid-term Republican thumping. Less than two weeks from now, Republicans will begin their post-mortem soul searching. And as the corpses of their House and Senate majorities grow cold, so should Karl Rove’s 2006 campaign strategy.

BTW, does cussing me out in a FR mail somehow strengthen your argument?

Probably not, but it most likely made him feel a lot better. LOL

I'll expound a bit so you don't make the same mistake again.

"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill," (Matt. 5:17).

The Old Testament is part of the Catholic Bible. Genesis is part of the Torah. Catholics accept the Torah as the word of God with minor reservations.

I am an atheist and I do not bend my knee in acquiescence to the church of evolution... That bothers you, doesn't it?

"If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead." (Luke 16:31)

The Old Testament is part of the Catholic Bible.

It is actually the First Testament, if you ask a Jew... and if a Christian doesn't believe it, he might has well deny the rest of it.

Won't be any shortcuts here.

Ah, so there's no royal road to philosophy, either, eh?

Thanks for the tip, will look it up.

Cheers!

Then don't impose *YOUR* irreligion on us!

You didn't read my next line--it was meant as a vent, and not at you. Guess I didn't make it quite clear enough.

For the nonce, though, you can find quite a number of threads on DC where Christian-bashing comes to the fore. WHen this is juxtaposed with the constant protestations that "many devout Christians are evolutionists"; and with some of the remarks by poster X or Y on how they just baited some folks on FR, it begins to make the claims *look* hollow.

To be fair, though, I am willing to consider the proposition that the Christian-baiters are as non-representative of DC as the Velikovsky / true Luddite kooks are of FR.

Heck, I'm Catholic. I don't accept the inerrancy of Scripture and I think a lot of people worship a book rather than God, but that does not make me irreligious.

I'm Roman Catholic, too. Let's not start up a Vatican II or sola scriptura food fight to boot, ok?

Cheers!

Oh yes, I had quite forgotten that for some, getting banned is some kind of "honour".

Never mind........................

It would have been, as you had assumed, but the crazies hijacked the thread; sadly.

How can someone who is an atheist be a *theologian*? You can't really be serious, can you? Really?

re: Go to a Catholic college and take a few courses on religious history. I studied religion quite extensively at DePaul before it turned into a leftist hell hole. You will find learned Catholic priests who tell how the Jews lifted some of their tales from Phoenician and other creation myths. )))

JRR Tolkein wrote a lot about myths as well as making a subcreation of his own that has affected an entire half-century of enchanted readers. The conclusion he drew is that the great story of the sacrificial hero is utterly inborn and extant in the heart of a man, to be ignored or nurtured by free will. The free will that sets us apart from animals.

Your beloved apes have no sonnets, no symphonies, and...no heroic myths. But somehow, evos never notice the vital differences between those who are a little less than angels, and the beasts of the forests. Your very obsession with Phoenicians, whatevah, draws an irresistible attention to the abyss between soul and instinct.

I'd settle for a cease and desist in spamming.

re: What an evil affront! How dare you!

LOL. You can borrow my vinaigrette, Scarlett. Maybe you'd better loosen a few strings.

Then you can tell me who's the sugar daddy of DC.
