    I like it, Republicans don’t like democracy, especially within their own party, it allows for differences of opinion which confuses them. In their minds there is only one way THE FAR RIGHT WAY.

    No no no, Oldle. With that face and affect of normality, you’ll never make the WalmartPeople website.

    This cartoon reminds me of all the brain-dead fools who deride Christian “fundamentalists.”

    See, only a truly stupid person would NOT want to embrace all the fundamentals of Christianity. In fact, as simple logic makes perfectly clear, if you remove the fundamentals from a belief system–ANY belief system–it ceases to be a belief system at all. Because when you don’t believe in the fundamentals of something, you don’t believe in the something, period. You believe in something else entirely.

    Never mind, this requires abstract thinking. Liberals won’t get it. And non-liberals don’t need me to tell them this stuff, they already know..

    Scott, whatever it is you are believing, it isn’t helping! You are so fraught with anger and twisting in hatred towards people who don’t “believe” what you hold dear, how can you make any recommendation, with any credibility, when it appears your life and mind are in agony? Happiness, peace and harmony are the end results of a conscious union with God. You display none of those qualities in your never-ending hate rant toward the human race.

    You and Bill O’Reilly… if you don’t like what you hear, then just scream “Shut Up!” Quit your job, Scott. Do something effective, alone, in total independence without having to answer to a higher-up. Treat every customer as an equal, regardless of their external package. Your time with them is very short. Do well, get paid, and move onto the next. Your entire affect and brainwave will be altered, in a very positive way. You are behaving like a trapped rodent and it ain’t pretty.

    Scott:

    What do you consider to be the “fundamentals” of Christianity?

  10. PlainBill

    charliekane, that touches a raw nerve with scottfreitas. It’s “the left wing feminist stuff” he hates.

    “Luke 10:27 Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.”

    Orthodoxy is the opposite of “abstract thinking”, and of course limited intellects accept, even love, total devotion and subjugation to even the most absurd premise.

    If “faith”, or “policy”, or “science” can sustain challenges from actual reasoned analysis, it is strengthened not weakened. If a basic premise is proven false, which is NOT THE SAME as “not proven by evidence”, it should be abandoned.

    If a basic premise does harm, or encourages fanatics to do harm, to themselves or others- it deserves to be challenged. So it is with “orthodoxy”- that harm, not good, more often prevails, because hazards are never addressed, challenged, or removed. That isn’t abstract, simple fact.

    Eric Hoffer said, “There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience; a readiness to attempt the impossible; a bias for simple solutions – to cut the knot rather than unravel it; the viewing of compromise as surrender; the tendency to manipulate people and “experiment with blood.” Both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. Hence absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.”

    I think Scott has become pretty corrupt.

    scott, the classic definition of a fundamentalist I keep hearing is one who takes the Bible literally, despite the many contradictions in the Bible, not least of which is Jesus’ explicit conflicts with Mosaic law. (Stoning women didn’t start with Islam, folks.) Fundamental principles of Christianity are a different issue.
    But many fundamentalists I know are, if anything, arrogant people who resemble the Pharisees more than Jesus. I remember the “Born Again Yellow Pages” - so you could shop only with the born again. What a travesty of Christianity – using it to exclude instead of include others.

    The “Born Again Yellow Pages!!” What a concept! Here in Santa Fe, for several years even, there was the “Hispanic Yellow Pages.” How was this okay? But there it was. If somebody started a thing called the “Whites Only Yellow Pages” this town would have been burnt to the ground. Early in life, all parents should read “The Sneetches” by Dr. Seuss to their kids.

    Motive: there are no contradictions in the Bible. The Bible does clearly state that people who do not have the Holy Spirit will not understand Scripture, and will regard it as foolishness. Welcome to that club.

    The pretend-Christians are the most puzzling breed of animal to me. They flat-out say the Bible is flawed, you can’t take it literally (meaning you can’t believe anything it says, except of course for those few passages your sin nature agrees with), etc etc

    Why would anyone bother embracing something they claimed was just a lie? There is nothing in Jesus’ words that leaves room for belief in Christianity if the Bible isn’t what it states itself as being: the inspired word of God.

    Jesus, when referencing Adam and Eve, Sodom, Noah, various miracles recorded in the OT etc made it clear HE believed those people and events were REAL. There is no possibility of claiming Jesus was not a “funamentalist” who believed inb the “literacy” of the Bible. His own words make it clear He did.

    As usual, I am faced with a dilemma: who to believe? The Lord Jesus Christ–whose holy Spirit lives inside me? Or a bunch of mockers and scoffers, all of whom hold views I know to be sinful? Views which fit John’s defintion of being “anti-christ?” (notice the lack of capitalization, girls).

    Not a tough choice. So go on pointing fingers at God, claiming He is too stupid to even get His point across in print. I’ll keep on rejecting your views, knowing they are nothing Christians haven’t heard before, a milion-million times, since the day the Lord Jesus was crucified…

    I’m not pointing fingers at God, scott, I’m pointing fingers at the fallible human beings who mistranslated, distorted, and tweaked the Bible as we know it today.

    No contradictions? There are two utterly contradictory Creation stories.

    And Jesus himself on several occasions explicitly overturned Mosiac law, as when the Apostles were gathering food on the Sabbath, and when he stopped the crowd from stoning the woman. For what it’s worth.

    sottfreitas says: “I am faced with a dilemma: who to believe? The Lord Jesus Christ–whose holy Spirit lives inside me? Or a bunch of mockers and scoffers, all of whom hold views I know to be sinful.”

    DrCanuck offers a solution to said dilemma: Don’t believe either one of them. Or anyone else. THINK FOR YOURSELF. Become an adult.

    Dr.C., Become an adult yourself and admit that you do not have all the answers.

    The Holy Spirit has all answers. Ask for the Holy Spirit.
