This is a pleasant surprise, coming from the "Layman". It used to be controlled by the gay faction of the Presbyterian church.

your not so subtle attack on those fine ladies is very telling of who you are...that's for sure...

growing up Catholic, and attending Catholic school for 16 yrs....I can tell you that the old-fashioned nuns who taught me were not only brilliant, light hearted and joyous, but also pretty in their own way....they chose to be nuns....

I agree with whoever said that they love Condi Rice like a dtr....I do too, except I am not that old yet....lol.....

Condi Rice is a jewel.....whether she is an absolutist on every ideal that a lot of us share is not really that important...what is important is that we know she is at least seeking knowledge in the right place....

Your not so subtle attack . . .

1) I wasn't attacking, I was wondering about a red flag in the bio's of these women, who've admitedly helped our conservative cause.

2) I mentioned nuns because they have been a praiseworthy example of women leading the single life. The nuns, however, received strength from a lot of daily prayer and the community of their fellow sisters.

It seems she is pro-abortion! Hopefully, she'll have a revelation that her faith is all about life and not the "right" to kill, especially the most innocent of citizens. Otherwise, hooray for Condoleezza in her acknowledging her Creator.

Well, John Calvin was supposed to be a Christian and he had people arrested, burned at the stake or otherwise murdered because their theology didn't agree with his own (of course, he was just another example of the new boss being the same as the old boss).

"1) I wasn't attacking, I was wondering about a red flag in the bio's of these women, who've admitedly helped our conservative cause."

I guess I just over-reacted...sorry....

frankly, I do wonder why some women have not married....I see it at my place of employment as well....very nice, attractive women never marrying....

but for women, I think it is very discouraging if you are not married say by 30 or so....there just is not a lot of ways to meet eligible men as you get older and some people get very set in their ways...men included....

Did A.C. Green ever get married? I think he and Condoleeza would be
an AWESOME TWOSOME!


Hold on there...
I have designs on Condi (like about a million other rational Republican/Conservative
single guys).
She is my best hope if I want to ever have offspring that are smarter than me,
plus won't sunburn in 15 minutes in the sun.

(hey, I'm joking....kinda...)

"By the way: most Baptists do not consider their denomination to be Protestant."

Ohmigosh, Christianity can be soooo confusing. Can you please explain this...what do they consider it to be? I'm just a confused ethnic (Irish) catholic from the Northeastern US. My in-laws are Presbyterians! And with the recent shenanigans with the RC Church (which has gone way down hill since VC II) I may be coming over to the "Bible Belters" any day. Not the Methodists tho' since I know Hillary is one! Please, help me...who are these "Protestants" and why aren't Baptists among them?

Condi's on a path, clearly (just like the rest of us). She got her Master's at Notre Dame, so there's been at least some exposure to catholic thought. Though far from a torrent, it's my sense that the best of evangelicalism is returning home (to Christ's Catholic Church), and the current administration has a number of notables that evince catholic thought and praxis. From where I sit (10,000 miles away), I get a sense that the Holy Spirit is slowly but inexorably bringing catholics and future-catholics into positions of influence, almost as if preparing for a Coming Showdown (though I'm of the Realized Eschaton school). GWB's brother's conversion seems sincere. Blair seems to he heading that way, albeit via his wife's wish-washy new-agey schlock. After all, it took that 4th C African-Roman quite a while to shed his manichaenism...
Despite misgivings, I'm a Condi fan. I hope she grows into a real and effective counter to Hillary in 2008.

Regarding Dr. Rice being pro-choice. I am a Christian, a married mother of two, and strongly pro-choice. It makes me sad to see other Christians think that you cannot be a true Christian and pro-choice. We have different views and beliefs. Many Christians believe that in the first three months, while there is not a developed brain, abortion is acceptable. Also, some girls start menstruating very young - nine years old. It would be cruel to force a nine year old rape victim to go through a pregancy. I don't see any contradiction if Dr. Rice is Christian and pro-choice.

Baptists don't have saints.

You better tell the folks in town here at St. James , St. John's, St. Mark's, St. Luke's, St Mathews, St. Paul and St. Stephen Baptist Churches. I'm not going to . . .

Some of those are Missionary, some are Full Gospel, and some are just ordinary Southern Baptists. Admittedly most Baptist churches here in town have names like First Baptist, Wheat Street Baptist, Shiloh, etc. But there are enough saints to where at least SOME Baptists must believe in them. . .

Think it's because even with the SBC, most Baptists still believe in congregational autonomy.

Now, you talk about confused . . . my ggg grandfather was a Baptist deacon and founder of our family church out in Alabama. Another ggg grandfather was an Englishman and an Anglican. I was raised Episcopalian, but now I'm a Catholic.

She was engaged in college. I read that in a bio. Why not since then? I dunno. But realistically how many men would measure up to her in the circles in which she travels?

Or maybe it's just none of my business

Baptists go back to about the 17th century, but they take threads from Martin Luther, the Wesley brothers, John Calvin, and more modern day D.H. Moody, and many other church patriarchs. None of these great leaders were "baptist" but they still have a definite influence on today's Southern and Independent Baptists.


http://www.christianitytoday.com has some interesting articles on the church origins. Worth a read

Please open your eyes.. ask for knowledge about the world and about the Bush presidency...Jesus will give you the truth ..you only have to seek it. Remember that many who say "Lord,we prophesied in your name" will be told "Depart I do not know you" The Bible also says about Christians... "You will know them by their fruit"
Pray on that and think about it

I must admit that your post struck a chord with me.
Not that I am a radical feminist or anything, but why does she need to be married? Can a strong woman not stand on her own without needing a man in front of her? I think theres a very good reason that Miss Rice isnt married...and I really dont think she ever will be.. at least not until its legalized.

Groan. A pro-abortion, anti-Israel Evangelical? Now there's a new one for me. Condi is such a phony.
