Stay on topic, please. If you know it's tangental, use common sense and take it elsewhere. ~9 Ambrose: Re: your comments on the Pharisees, you might want to check out this book (http://www.amazon.com/Mythmaker-Paul-Invention-Christianity/dp/00625058...  [Read More]

I'll wait for Jae to reply, but I really would like to chase up this belief that the only true Christians are those who would slaughter Harry Potter fans because they oppose witchcraft and the like. It would probably be best to pick this back up in t...  [Read More]

Hm, how else can I say this? To answer one of your questions I'm not sure whether or not Bush is trying to bring about Christ's return but that is one of the things that are going about. So you're not sure that Bush is trying to do something, but he...  [Read More]

Jesus Day History (http://www.jesusday-richmond.org/pages.asp?pageid=37409). It started in England in the late 80's. Some 450 cities participated on June 10, 2000 (the date of Bush's proclamation), so it was hardly unique to Bush. Jae, come on. That...  [Read More]

So the belief is that Christians are crazies who will kill, commit acts of terror, whatever it takes to prepare the world for Christ's return, or even orchastrate it themselves? Well if you want to paint them with that brush, feel free, but I think i...  [Read More]

@TK and Achilles regarding 'Jesus day'--Bush didn't make that up for Texas--it's a national thing that Bush decided to acknowledge in Texas--see the snopes article (http://www.snopes.com/religion/jesusday.htm). And OK, Bush did the Jesus day thing af...  [Read More]

If Bush trying to engineer Christ's return is true then is the point that he's doing these things, regardless of whether or not the end result is possible? I'm afraid that wasn't much better. Are you stating that Bush is trying to set events in motio...  [Read More]

The link might be a bit outdated--Bolton is no longer Ambassador to the UN--he stepped down a couple months ago. That's a non-issue. The purpose of the link is to point out that Bush appoints his neo-conservative think tank buddies into key governmen...  [Read More]

Nancy, a great many of our Presidents have been Christians (I would say all, but more than a few of our earlier leaders were Deists). I think to say that atheists, agnostics, Muslims, moderate Christians don't like Bush because he is a Christian is t...  [Read More]

@Ztalker: The prevelent rumor appears to be Europe, although I'd guess Carser City (spelling?). IIRC, it was mentioned in both VC and SA. Sounds kinda like Detroit or someother U.S. industrial town in the 80's. @Vaelastraz: Yeah. link (http://en.wik...  [Read More]
