Unbeatable Rule of Debate #1:Tell opponent you are right and to shut up.
I always forget that one.
I did agree with you I was just saying its naive and ignorant to act like Communists are the sole-proprietors of propaganda.
I think Joseph Goebbels would take a lot of offense at your statement. Simply mentioning that Russia had a a state-controlled news organization does not really add to the debate.
Also -way to inflate the stature of the Journolist to a world super-power.
Beware the Journolist invasion of Canada!

You laughed at me when I gave you the perfectly reasonable example of different denominations of Christianity as why you cant say "the Bible tells us". Your points have in no way addressed that.
Unless you are willing to say every denomination but your own is a false cult-right now, right here before all your peers-you yourself believe that the Bible is open to interpretation.
I hate to even acknowledge you with another response after your childish attacks on my earlier comments, but I would love to hear your answer.
Do not the different Christian sects prove that their is interpretation of the Bible?
How are there different denominations of Christianity but only one interpretation of the Bible?
If you can answer that- you are a genius beyond compare and I will flee to the safety of my Athiest Cave-or whatever place it makes you happy to imagine I plot my war against Christian Republicans.

I agree 100% that what you have stated is the the theological/logical explanation for why homosexuality or any sexuality that does not result in families/babies is a sin. However, i genuinely wonder, if there was a gay celibate couple that worked to spread the word of the lord, would that be acceptable? To me that sounds very much like the idea of a priest or missionary. If they are abstaining yet in love and working for Christ would they be considered role-models in the same way a priest or hetero missionary would?

Only because people are super-reactionary he has created more conservatives. Everyone was hedging their bets and protecting their butts right up to the election saying "whoever wins this is going to be a nightmare for years to come", "I wouldn't want this job now I know that much".
Obama becomes president and a day later...BOOM...."the sky is falling", "America died Nov. 8th, 2008", "Stalin has risen from the grave!"

Thanks Mo. Before just now I thought I was Christian, had read the Bible, the Apocrypha and large chunks of most of the other important religious texts in the world. You have helped me realize facts have no place in my mind, yours, or discussion and religion in general. Congrats and thanks again Mohamed. LOL?!! Get what I did there?!!! HA!?
....sigh

I should have realized your brain power was depleted with that amazing Obama-Nudie pic "joke". I'll give you another 24 hours to recharge your comedy cell.

I really wish I could buy into deregulation, I do. But the evidence is just not there. Somethings can not be decided by an accountant and trickle-down turned out to be trickle-out. The whole point of society was to put an end to only the strong survive. One of the things that made America what is today is the National Park system. Today people would throw it away for a fifty cent reduction in deficit. Ask Gov. Christie in NJ. He'll privatize the roads and the state parks and in three years when they're bankrupt he'll be telling us we need to approve an emergency bond to bail them out. If profiteers run everything they're the only ones who win. I think the gov should encourage more private schools but there should be some sort of guidelines most American's can agree on for what a basic education consists of.

A very close friend of mine-and probably my most educated- was in training to be a priest. His father is a pastor and his family lived on a reservation for many years spreading Christianity to Native Americans in N. America. Unfortunately he started to realize that certain questions were considered very big no-no's and not appreciated. Sadly, he has decided to not pursue becoming a priest because he thought much of the dogma and bureaucracy actually hurt his relationship with God as opposed to helped it. He has since converted to Eastern Orthodox and has continued his studies. I bring this up for you Krystyna, because one of his main examples of disillusionment was that no one could ever provide a solution to this "Cain contradiction" without admitting to a non-literal interpretation of the Bible. Something the leaders of his church were not willing or able to do.

Yawwwn!? Ha! Boo I say! I think I deserved a wittier retort than that. No clever explanation on why bringing Obama into a story about outsourcing and exhibitionist moms isn't totally out of "right-field" or revealing of your obsession with Big Baby Bama?

So engaging in dialogue with people in a forum where my opinions are clearly in the minority and asking for an explanation means "too busy trying hard not to get it"? Its very hard to not get frustrated with or even give credence to a statement like that, but I really am trying my best. Also I like being distracted from my real job. On that note:
...Thank you to all the people on here actually making points and discussing with me and not the Ostriches with their heads in the ground clawing up mud. Debate is the heart of our country and if people are going to get heated and call names lets really make it worth our while with a spirited argument based on facts and logic and convictions first.
THEN WE ALL GO TO THE PITCHFORK STORE TOGETHER!! USA!!USA!!
