A Return to Triangulation (libertarion vs social right)

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.

Do you not recognize tongue in cheek when you see it?

Well, metmom, when what he said he was going to do is what he has been doing, it is a bit difficult not to take him seriously. Why did satchmodog9 do to get banned? The only thing that he posted that even remotely makes sense in this matter is what he said to jwalsh07, which is pretty lightweight around here - but violated the "terms", so buh-bye.

Do you have any response to that? What did he do to warrant banning? Read his posts. If JR wasn't serious, then why did he ban satchmodog9?

That would appear to put JPII in the "theistic evolution" camp.

Maybe, maybe not. but I was referring to Dawkins particular view of the world which most definitely is counter to the Pope's statement.

Great to "see" you. I hope that you are blessed in every part of your life.

It's back up, or I'm having another FR dream.

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

He's studying God, I think that makes him one.

[Elsie]

Some folks really don'r understand the EVOLUTION of the Church!! ;^)

[Elsie]

Catholics accept the Torah as the word of God with minor reservations.

What won't they let the under 21 crowd do??

[Elsie]

There ya go!

[Elsie]

Yup!


(You SURE you're an Atheist? ;^)

[Elsie]

Not according to THIS fellow!

...the crazies hijacked the thread...

It takes TWO to fight!

[Elsie]

How can someone who is an atheist be a *theologian*? Easily!

You can STUDY and have great knowledge of something, withOUT 'beleiveing' that it is necessarily true.

[Elsie]

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.

So, you accept the words of men to tell what 'scripture' REALLY means then; eh?

[Elsie]

Conservatism should appeal to the rationalist, regardless of religious affiliation or lack thereof. Of late, however, the fundies have been trying to drive anyone not a born-again Protestant Christian from the movement...

Huh?

From what I've seen; it's the rabid E's that don't want C's in the 'conservative movement'.

[Elsie]

Dang!

Have I just been MOCKED???

[Elsie]

...but your posts speak for themselves.

Hold this thought:

Matthew 12:36-37
36. But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
37. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

[Elsie]

Heck, we must be doing something right; since this brouhaha we've collected nearly a score new members over there.

Matthew 7:13
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

[Elsie]

I have a handful of saints I venerate

But.... why?

[Elsie]

So, are you half way up/down the stairs?? ;^)

[Elsie]

Why, then, do you believe that Ken Miller claims to be Catholic?

DR. Ken Miller, who spoke at our church Sunday, is a GIDEON!
