Meaning you should obey the law.Yes the Bible says such, meaning we are to obey all of man's just laws becasue they serve the greater good of society of which we are a part.[/quote] Sorry where in that bible quote does it mention the word 'just'?

[quote]See, secular humanity has one problem. They answer only to pleasure, like dogs answer to treats. They know not discipline, immortality, or hope, only drunkenness, death, and uncertainty. And they give up their will in order to gain what mere senses can percieve. Gone is logic, gone is reason, only desire and emptiness remain. They lose any purpose, they lose any life, they give up all for one night stands, booze, cheap food, revelry, action movies, pornography, hollow shells that provide

Well there is the small issue in the first section. Gore was winning in the polls and those polls were corect in so far as he did get more votes. Innocent people also protest their innocence but without a trial it is rather hard to tell who is guilty and who isn't. Tell me would you support the US lauching a missile attack on the UK to kill somebody they thought was a terroist but were unable to prove it?

Easy target. Most of the victims were not Indonesians and the bar was popular with tourists from the 'westen' world and of the contries who lost most people three out of the top four were members of the Coalition of the willing.

Apart from the fact that if the USA pissess of the Islamic world it will do nothing but increase in rate that terrorists are 'created'. Attacking a series of Islamic countries and constanly threating others is hardly the best way of calming down an already inflamed and sensetive region(s) of the world. Attacking
do you have any references to the idea that crude oil is made that way?
Which is why theft etc is covered by every legal system known to man and are things that people can control as they are part of their actions. But how do you exactly control what you think . If you think 'impure' thoughts you can decide not to steal the car, chat up that woman etc but the thought has happened. Once the thought is there you can also decide not to dwel on it but the thought was still there. You have been damned by
Of course fear of somethings is warranted, madmen with guns, madmen with knives etc but you are adovating instilling in children the fear of burning in hell for all time for things that could included thinking bad thoughts. The tenth Commament (thou shall not covert .....) says nothing about an action it is purely a thought crime. How does teaching children to fear something that will be punish them for mearly thinking something help them?
So why is finding an airfield different?
This is the sort of thing that makes me think that reglion is, currently, a a net bad thing for the whole. I really don't like the idea of children being brought up to live in a fear of a supernatural thing that can punish them for all time for something that somebody thousands of years ago did (the orginal sin). This supernatural being can even punish them for thought crimes and make them burn in hell for just thinking about things without acting on them. I don't think tha
Last year I was driving and very nearly ran out of petrol. I then passes a petrol station I didn't know exisited, is that due to gods invervention? The bomb blowing up and the job being got also happened very soon after people did things in the real world that are very likely to cause the final result. If I throw a ball in the air and pray really really quickly that I want the ball to hit the ground and it does hit the ground it is not evidence that the prayer made it so.<
Isn't there a big difference between allowing people to pray away from the rest of the school and organising what would amount to a school wide prayer session? Tell me- are christains actually banned from praying, quietly and to themselves, during school? If not how can you say that christianty has been banned?
go on then try me, So far on this site I read about three thing that must have happened by the power of god. A plane landing on an airstrip, somebody getting a job and a bomb exploding.
You are so correct. There has never been a coincidence of such power as somebody looking and asking for a job actually getting one.
Other countries appear to manage the not having god in schools with out having school shootings. The French have gone so far as to ban any and all reglion symbols (including Islamic ones) from any and all state school but they haven't had this wave of shooting, although the ban was only in 2004 they haven't been teaching godly morals for many a year.
Of course it doesn't really matter who has been inspired by ET as even if Marx, Hitler and all the racists on the planet are/were inspired by ET it still doesn't mean ET is not correct .
That doesn't make it supernatural, just a mistake by the tank commanders. The same sort of thing happened in the winter war and numerous times in both world wars both on land and in the sea.
I'm a little confused how somebody throwing a bomb at a tank and it blowing up is supernatural.
You right, human history and current events is littered with examples of scientists going 'he disagrees with my modeling of protein x - We must invade and re-educate the heathen'
6. Monotheism- Mono meaning one is a belief in one God. In this position God did create life and is always interestsed in it epecially in his creation of man. Might makes right as God will have caused those who are blessed to have the might and they always be doing right as they are following God.
Well the Maurice Green retirement thought appears to be have had a rather different take in every news story I've been able to fine, eg. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/more_sport/athletics/article3304939.ece http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/7225654.stm http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/02/04/sports/athletics4.php http://sport.guardian.co.uk/breakingnews/feedstory/0,,-7279810,00.html http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/2
Well if the cost of altering the building would send the business under wouldn't that fall under the reasonable cost comment in the act? 'Existing privately-run child care centers must remove those architectural barriers that limit the participation of children with disabilities (or parents, guardians, or prospective customers with disabilities) if removing the barriers is readily achievable, that is, if the barrier removal can be easily accom
Surely the only public sector with legal violence are the army and police (and related)? Only one of these is ever really used in the 'home' country.
So in your thinking it is completely divorced from belief. If so why bother with a church? I agree that the bible is not literally correct but thats another discussion in its self and I was trying to restrict it to one!
