better?

if you can listen to the man's dogma Werner, you will see that he is encouraging open-mindedness and acceptance of new data. MY DOGMA IS OPEN TO NEW IDEAS! NOW FOLLOW MY DOGMA (kidding).

Of course you are right Jim but I think you need to go climbing again soon. It's the only thing that makes sense sometimes. See what happens when you get off the rock. All these thoughts...

AOBTW, it's kinda crazy to think all of us humans are going to agree on everything anyway. Actually, that's a good thing. Much can be learned listening to others.

The great constant of all human history is that humans have always wanted to kill other humans for whatever reason they can rationalize... be it... Nationalism, Religion, Race, Politics, land... you name it. So can we really "Just get along"?... history is against us!! And so it would seem, is human nature. We will always find ways to divide ourselves into "them and us". Religion is among the many ways we do that. We're Doomed!!! We're all gonna die!!

I am in total agreement with Donini . . . It is such a crock to see the Politards slinging phrases like "God bless America" . . . what God and whose God? America is about as un-christian as can be . . . Jesus would throw these bastards out of the temple. America is currently treading on a razors edge of hypocrisy and greed . . . all for one and none for all.

That woman's breasts must have been really in need of a good wash.

goatboy smellz.....would that be Eve and the apple? I can see clearly now...Adam never had a chance. :)

elcap-pics, religion yes. Jesus on the other hand said stuff like, " Bless them that curse you. Pray for those that despitefully use you." He also asked people not to judge others and forgiveness was a huge part of what he spoke about. I've said this a few times before and no one has ever responded. If people lived out Matthew 5,6 and 7 this world would be a different place.

Cheers, lynne

Edit: Kos, "everyone else brings facts." Hmmmm, are there scientific suppositions that we have in the past or today we believe that are not yet substantiated by fact? Jess wondering :)

Denial is alive and well....and obviously much more than a large river in Africa.

I missed who or what is in denial

We are not, and never have been, a homogeneous nation like Japan, China or Saudi Arabia.. We are a multi cultural nation with a history of welcoming people of different creeds, colors and cultures. Our founding fathers expoused the concept of freedom of religion for everyone including non believers like me. We are constantly evolving and our demographics are shifting. We are not a nation of any creed, color or culture and that is our strength and that's what differentiates us....and that is what we should be the most proud of.

If we're not a Christian nation, why has our military been on a crusade for the last 14 years?

A Christian nation full of folks professing Christianity, who talk the talk, don't walk the walk.

Walk on by.

What if someone's daughter is molested by a Catholic (professed Christian) priest?

How many legal settlements have now been reached by these 'good' folks?

Oh wait, "forgive me father".

Is this about the masons? Or Christians? Or both?

In case all of you missed it we are just a nation.

Of both.
