So, as a Christian, Ann Coulter finds nothing wrong with insulting people like that simply because she disagrees with them politically?

Well, apparently she doesn't! :) She is a satirist, and sometimes her satire is biting. I don't see that as being unchristian in and of itself. Most of the time she has a "defense of truth" argument such as when she suggests that certain American liberals are aiding terrorists with their policies. I'm sure they are insulted, but she happens to be right.

I can guarantee you that never, not even in private thoughts, do I think what Ann Coulter publicly says about people she doesn't agree with.

You know, I DO read all of your high-five posts to Mark, STF, and others. But if that was some other Kosta then Welcome to FR! LOL! :)

FK: As I understand it, Ann does happen to be a Reformer.

Her actions and words make that abundantly clear, imo.

Oh, so I guess that Kosta WAS you. :)

FK: Please show me a pattern of examples [of Ann's rhetoric that you find objectionable]. I haven't seen ONE yet.

What pattern of examples? If your sins are all forgiven and you are "saved," there is nothing to stop you from doing the most abominable things. Nothing. ...

IOW, you know you strongly dislike her, but you have no idea why. Hey, that kind of sounds like the Orthodox approach to faith itself! :)

Rom 6:1-2 : What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means ! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Well, because they do! No one is dead to sin. We continue to sin. So this is patently false.

Paul is talking about what governs our minds, what our mindset IS. God can demand no less than perfection because He is God, HOWEVER, that does not mean we should get lost in romantic notions of perfection. We were never promised a perfect world and indeed we do not live in one. Of course believers are going to sin from time to time, but that mindset does not RULE us. God does. One of our jobs as Christians is to EVIDENCE that difference so that others can see.

“”American liberals are aiding terrorists with their policies. I'm sure they are insulted, but she happens to be right.””

Liberalism's worst enemy is the Catholic Church.It is not the Bible, because the Bible can be interpreted and twisted to suit liberalism.

You're fooling yourself if you think otherwise

The Catholic Church makes concrete the correct interpretations of Scripture that teaches against abortion,homosexuality,masturbation,and every kind of immoral issue.

The gates of hell can invade individual scriptural interpretations,but the gates of hell cannot invade the scriptural interpretations of faith and morals of the Catholic Church.

There is plenty of "satire" to go around when it comes to both camps. Bottom line is this: are you safer now then you were eight years ago? Do we have fewer or greater number of potential terrorists in the country as a result of unchecked southern borders? Aiding the terrorirsts could be done by not doing enough too, FK.

Oh, so I guess that Kosta WAS you

It's just satire, FK...you seem to find it objectionable when I use HER method, yet you find apology in hers.

IOW, you know you strongly dislike her, but you have no idea why. Hey, that kind of sounds like the Orthodox approach to faith itself!

No that would be more like being Reformed and just saying "I have no clue, it was given to me."

that does not mean we should get lost in romantic notions of perfection.

Then we are not "dead" to sin, FK. No matter how you turn it, it's patently false.

God created a perfect world and our sin corupted it.

Of course believers are going to sin from time to time, but that mindset does not RULE us. God does

God rules our sinful minds? God causes us to sin? Oh, wait, I forgot, we are just robots...of course...mind control...
