This is what you guys are reduced to? ;D Teddy Roosevelt didn't use one either. Big whoop. If that numbskull Roberts had gotten it right the first time, then this would be a non-issue. |

Just imagine if he had used his own Bible then people would be saying - it was a Koran in a Bible outershell because we all know he is secretly Muslim.  Or not a real Bible. Really, in some people's minds no matter what he would have done wouldn't have been right.

I just dislike the fact it was done in secret. IE: No MSM to record the event. After all, we know how the written word can be twisted.

Why do people say...
Liberal = [glow=red,2,300]anti-God[/glow]
Conservative = [glow=green,2,300]Christian[/glow]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I believe in God and I do practice my religion. My political beliefs fall more towards the Democrats/Left/Liberal point of view, but I consider myself a moderate/independent. I also try to walk the walk - and I'm not perfect.
I see very un-Christian behavior from all sides of the political sphere and very frustrated with the above analogy. I've seen this mentioned in other threads of the Board.

From my view point the Conservatives only want to help those living in their neighborhood (or whose neighborhoods they would like to live) keep their money/lifestyle with the open air homes and the gas guzzling SUV's for each family member while the Liberals want everyone to reach a basic standard of living. Which one is more Christian?
Yes, I want to benefit from my hard work. However, I also don't want to see people unable to meet Maslow's Basic Needs either. |

I'm pretty sure the whole fish and loaves things accounts to Welfare. I'm sure Conservatives would have hated that.

No, wouldn't that be socialism instead of welfare?  When the fish and bread was handed out you didn't have to show that you were a citizen of any county, and everyone was able to eat until they were full regardless of income. |

I had always been taught that Jesus took care of those that have nothing. Paraphrasing: When I was hungry you fed me, when I was naked you clothed me. We never saw you naked or hungry. When you helped others you helped me.

Yes, I want to benefit from my hard work. However, I also don't want to see people unable to meet Maslow's Basic Needs either. How do you explain the fact that Conservatives give more to charity than liberals? The libs care about others, and want them to "reach a basic standard of living" through forced participation by those they deem to have more. Jesus, on the other hand, never forced anyone to "share the wealth". He gave everyone a choice. And as for the fish and loaves comment...Jesus did not force the boy to give up what he had. The boy chose to do it. In fact, afterward there was enough left over to feed the boy seven times more than what he had before. Let's see the libs try and top that. |
