 I guess Jesus in the marketplace notwithstanding, I like Him in everything. However attitude in how He’s presented matters. BC-A, Top of the Stairs

Re: Re: Thanks Red...

There is a wide spectrum of values between extreme liberal and extreme conservative. Then too it depends on the particular issue. I, for example, am fiscally conservative & socially moderate. What does that make me, politically, in your books? In a fascinatingly diverse country like ours, it is inaccurate to divide the population as liberal / conservative, doesn't mean much! I think it is you who doesn't get today's America. It is far different than when you & I were in high-school. Perhaps you should come up here and share a beer or two with so many wonderful people up here. On that count, I was referring to the "good-heartedness" of many so-called rednecks, that some people seem not to recognize, not their often-verbalized political opinions as you misconstrued.

Re: Thanks Red...

Hold on a minute here.

You stated:"Even if they are diammetrically opposite to yours, learn to see thru that and touch their soul, you can do it my friend, you already did it with me"

I already did what to you?

 

You stated: "Please pass on my regards & blessings to all them so-called "rednecks", many of whose hearts have touched mine, though I'm personally anything but. Peace."

Pass along regards to so-called rednecks??? HA! LOL! So many of you out there are so lost! It is hilarious! Rednecks? HA! You just do not get it AshMan! Nobody gets it so do not feel alone here. It's like some anal retentive person wondering "ok so he is from the south and he is a conservative Republican so he is also a redneck in his values." How funny dude! Look, you have no idea of the real deal. I respect you as a human being. I would like to share a keg of beer in the oval garden with you but you must understand where I am coming from.

I could not care less the race of the president or any government official. IT IS ALL ABOUT TRADITIONAL CONSERVATIVE VALUES AND DIRECTION THAT I AM ALL ABOUT. I voted for Alan Keyes since the 80's! I have voted for him from everything from state senator to president. The only differences from obama and Keyes are Keyes is conservative and 100% black and obama is liberal and 50% black. Know what I mean?

I must say, meet Alan Keyes:

He is a great American! He would have made an incredible president this time around but yet we have the worthless obama.

More later, my friend, Ash!

Re: Re: Re: Re: IT'S CALLED FREE EXPRESSION DUDE

are you saying that Atheists shouldn't have the same rights as Christians?

Thanks Red...

Remember, always give the other person the benefit of the doubt. Everyone is a spirit, it's their egos & life-experiences that has shaped their world-views. Even if they are diammetrically opposite to yours, learn to see thru that and touch their soul, you can do it my friend, you already did it with me. Kooka, Xeno, Corbin et al ain't much different at heart & soul. The day you can see & feel that, will be the day you'll have reached heaven on Earth. Please pass on my regards & blessings to all them so-called "rednecks", many of whose hearts have touched mine, though I'm personally anything but. Peace.

Re: Re: Re: IT'S CALLED FREE EXPRESSION DUDE

Once again you and your son seem to have an inherited trait of waning to put words in mouths or spin people's words. I have never said that I judge all others, it is simply my viewpoint. You take it from there to some level that favors your view. What I stated is that the advertisements for a church was justy that, take it or leave it! What this group is advocating is adopt our philosphy or ideals or theology. Big difference!

I can not say what God will do as far as who enters heaven. I am a mere man. That is what it is all about. Do not advertise your beliefs. Hey, if there was a sign on the bus advertising an Athiest church then okay. However you and I both know this was not the case here.

Re: Red...

Ash...

You are correct, The Alimighty will judge all! I must explain that my emotion knows no bounds when it comes to politics and religion. I believe you are a good soul... I do not know you personally but just by your comments I can tell that you are indeed a believer and that is good. I look forward to meeting you one day in our new bodies...if you know what I mean.

Re: Re: IT'S CALLED FREE EXPRESSION DUDE

nobody is trying to suppress free expression

but chaotic disruption -- yes.

it is stopped all  the time -- not just by liberals

as far as going to hell is concerned, would you like to list people who are going to Heaven?  - that is, groiups -- types.

definition and who fits into it -- or who doesn't --

can you say God will allow Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, those of other religions -- those who lived before Jesus, other Christians who don't ascribe to your definition of Salvation -- to enter Heaven?

Red...

With free speech comes responsibility. In the end, everyone will be judged on their deeds by the Almighty, some favorably some not. It is not upto you, I or anyone else to do that. Consistent observation of civility of thought, word & action are essential for anyone & everyone to be judged favorably ultimately. Peace.

I think they will answer to the Lord in the end and be held accountable! It is a matter of free speech but I have often wondered about the equality of it when it comes to those who are not of a like mind as them! I think it is important to pray for everyone regardless of belief! sam

Re: IT'S CALLED FREE EXPRESSION DUDE

Is that the same free expression that you liberals have been trying to kill from opponents of the healthcare bill?

Liberalism=total contradiction.

I never said 95% were going to hell nor do I believe that or know it. Only God knows that and yes He will take care of each and every one of us in that category. I just love how you assume things.

IT'S CALLED FREE EXPRESSION DUDE

They want to advertise the same as churches.  There is absolutely no problem with that.

The problem is that they don't believe as you do.

But then you probably believe that about 95% of people are condemned to Hell because they don't believe as you do.

I would suggest you let them and let them be.  If God is all powerful, then God will take the appropriate action.  It's not up to you.

But don't speak of contradictions -- Christianity is full of them.
