'You've got a pretty warped perspective, Dave. All it takes is a brief
look around to see that some of the most immoral people on the planet
also claim to be very religious. Religion has been used to justify some
of the most heinously immoral acts in history.'
REPLY: I beg to differ with you on 'my warped perspective' . And...i
wish i had a nickel for everytime i hear this common anti-God rhetoric ;
heres the deal : Many things are done in the name of religion or God ,
but that doesnt mean that they ARE OF GOD . (And i have no doubt you
already knew this fact quite well). The Founders of this Nation
definitively agreed that it was the Christian God and the Christian
Bible and Godly Principles , morals, and ethics...that would best serve
AMerica for generations to come -- surely not secular humanism and the
ever changing cultural whims of today. A close look at secular humanism
reveals all the social ills and vices we have before us today ; the
biggest atrocity being over 1,000,000 developing human beings in the
'mothers' womb being brutally ripped out due to the desire to hide the
guilt, shame, and inconvenience of a fling gone wrong ; and countless
supporters of this who could care less.
'Religious belief is not a prerequisite for morality, nor is it a
guarantee of it. Conversely, lack of religious belief does not portend
immorality or hedonism.'
REPLY: Firm religious beliefs followed by action to obedience most
certainly should lead to a moral way of living if one sees him/herself
as a special creation of a personal Almighty Creator which affords
dignity and great value . Conversely, firm religious belief that one
is nothing more than a distant relative of a one celled pond protozoa
who accidentally found himself swimming in literal Pond Scum and
(impossibly) graduated to a 206 bone human being with a brain
informational capacity far surpassing any Computer 'created' by man so
he can do as he wishes without any ultimate accountability .... is the
perfect recipe for immoral hedonism and other forms of willful
suppression to ones moral conscience which accomodates his
self-serving/narcissitic agenda . Alduous Huxley , Evolutionist , said
it best :" I didnt reject the Creator based on a lack of
evidence...rather, it was due to my sexual mores" .
'You sound like just another typical intolerant religious zealot. '
REPLY: Please dont expect me to be tolerant to anti-god philosophies
which have brought irrepairable ruin to this country ; if George
Washington and the Boys were here today, they would have voted to cast
you out to Singapore for some serious desenitization to following the
decadent American culture of today.
'You may believe that you're part of the solution, but people like you
are actually the major source of the problem.'
REPLY: We are only 'a part of the problem' when it comes to being a fly
in your liberal agenda . The Countrys Founders are too, since they
vehemently spoke out against your form of religion.
'Who was it who said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you"? '
REPLY: His name is Jesus Christ , whom the Founding Fathers loved and
honored in addition to nearly all the Founders of the Sciences ,
countless Generals, Presidents, Scholars, Law Professors, and
'allegedly' 90% of current Americans according to a fairly recent George
Barna Poll (although you see most of them out on the golf course on a
Sunday morning or waking up with someone new, instead of in a corporate
worship environment giving rightful praise to God). By the way, Jesus
never espoused tolerance toward degradation and a decadent culture...in
fact, he exposed it and the Bible calls us to do the same. Did you know
Jesus literally threw out thieves and swindlers for desecrating a holy
place ?
'If you don't want other people's beliefs imposed on you, don't impose
yours upon them. Pretty simple, eh?'
REPLY: Sounds so nice and sweet ...however, its been this kind of
complacency and apathy toward the twisted view of 'tolerance' which has
sunk America into the moral sewer. With no return . Jesus said when you
see someone going down the wrong path in life, to show them their error
so they can hopefully get back on the correct path. To do otherwise
(which todays twisted tolerance philosophy is) is to show you dont
really care about the person nor the repercussions which come from
his/her actions... both for the individual and for society as a whole.
'If more people followed that principle and adopted the "live and let
live" credo, there'd be a lot less strife in this world.'
REPLY: More and more people have followed this tolerance credo over
the last few decades...so today we have your credo expanded to the
following : 45,000,000 americans with genital herpes, 5,500,000 new
cases per year of Human Papoloid Virus (the precursor to cervical cancer
in women) , 33 circulating STD's of which nearly all are permanent for
life, countless misled Americans thinking traditional marriage is of
the 'dark ages' , the growing acceptance that two men making love with
each others feces and demanding the populus recognize their behavior as
a perfectly acceptable lifestyle, 4400 developing human beings/day
being sucked into a nearby sink while 'the mother' watches from 3 feet
away (Americas own Haulocaust) , multitudes being brainwashed into
thinking they can do whatever they desire because of moral relativism
(just so long as others practice absolute morality toward them ) , a
growing flagrant disregard for others possesions, et al, ad nauseum.
Isnt Tolerant-ism just dandy ?
'Can we go back to talking about cars now? '
REPLY: Sure ; I drive a 2002 Hyundai SUV which arrived at my local
Dealership purely by accidental collisions upon collisions , over a very
long period of time, matter, and natural laws . All without any
personal intelligent input , I might add.
