Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams |
Wrong on this one, Steven. Dave posted this yesterday:
Of coruse, sick perverted priests should be removed. Duh.
When in agreement with Scripture, yes
OK, now what about ventana's question?
Do you have scriptural proof that these sayings are correct?
Are the quotes you posted authoritative? Do they themselves agree with scripture?
Sometimes on our Southern vacations, we'd have Cracker Barrel breakfasts 2 or 3 times a day. Biscuits and gravy, hominy grits, ...
The wife thinks we ought to build one on I-80, near Iowa City. I don't think grits would be a big seller, though. Then again, the Governor seems to think Iowa will be a tourist destination before he's done taxing and spending us into prosperity.

Sure, but that was pre-Christian.
Sorry I missed it Mr. Thread Monitor. :-)Many times when a post is not addressed to said person it is missed. Happens quite often to people like me who are morally superior. :-) Please don't trip up in the near future. I'll be watching you? :-)

If you say so. The point, though, is still indisputable that the Church, long after the Empire snuffed out, carried along this idea of a written code to the tribes of Europe.
Often times, the Church had to devise the first written instances of a language they met. They did this in order to have written agreements, contracts, etc.

Where have I heard these curious words before? Be very afraid. :-)
Cut us some slack, our highest paid state employee is a lecherous alcoholic basketball coach and tom harken call's us constituents.
Why should a murderer be allowed to live? Death is the just punishment for intentional homicide. If you think otherwise, then please present your case.
Do you keep kosher? Do you observe the Saturday Sabbath?
Are you without sin? (3rd request).
