I don't know, nor do I really care. I live in 2003.

Oh yeah, truth changes over time. The culture dictates morality and truth. Right?

"I think that Souter and his cohorts terribly misrepresented the 1st Amendment."

Who appointed Souter to the SCOTUS? I believe it was Bush the Elder. Indeed, how many of the current justices were appointed by Republicans? I believe it is seven.

This indicates to me, quite clearly, that the Republican party agrees with who is now sitting on the courts. In Alabama, how many of the judges who sat in review of Moore are Republicans?

I understand that you, personally, disagree with this decision. But, that aside, it appears that judges, appointed by Republicans, do not disagree with this decision.

Your disagreement is perfectly valid, and you have every right to believe as you wish regarding Judge Roy Moore and the state of the judiciary.

But...we really do have to remember who appointed the judges who are making the decisions you disagree with, and it wasn't liberal Democrats.

Morality, yes. Truth, no.

Yes, the historical pogroms of the Politically Correct are legendary. The Crusades and the Inquisition pale in comparison.

That's true. Mind oppression will do more to start a world war than any other type of bondage ever has. By telling the world they have to THINK and act contrary to their conscience - the way a certain left wing facist group demands - will cause so much hate, it will be like no other war.

I can't believe it.

I think you're reading my comment backwards. The South had an economic incentive (or at least many Southerners thought so) to keep slaves. The North had no such incentive. Cotton was much more labor intensive than other crops. This belief affected other matters that would have allowed for a peaceful solution.

[Paleo Conservative]

But slavery was abolished in the northern states long before the civil war. Why? Christians.

But quite a few of those same "Chistians" in Boston had no qualms about using military force in China to ensure the free flow of Turkish opium carried on American ships.

Stonewall Jackson fought to defend his homeland - that is clear from his writings, and he believed he was God's instrument. Since he won almost all of his battles and was arguably the BEST GENERAL in the civil war, credence is given to this belief.

Seems to me that the Confederate sentry who shot Stonewall Jackson may also have been God's instrument, to help ensure that the side that wanted to own other human beings lost.

[huck von finn]

I thought he belonged to the Church of the Spleef, like the Koptic Church (sp?), at least in the seventies. I belonged then too. But then I got tired and had to grow up.

[huck von finn]

Some kind of spleef thing still lives on. That was my religion too, years ago.

Seems to me that the Confederate sentry who shot Stonewall Jackson may also have been God's instrument, to help ensure that the side that wanted to own other human beings lost.

If God was against Jackson, why did he win all of his battles? Why did he thrash a cumulative platoon of Union armies? In the north, He was the most respected and feared southern general. Maybe it was just time for God to take him home because it was God's will that the South lose, and with him, they may well have won. Many historians speculate a different outcome at Gettysburgh if it had been Jackson instead of Ewell leading that Corps, and a win at Gettsyburgh may well have brought England or France in on the side of the Confederates, or broken the will of the people in the north.

There is nothing like your televangelists who thunder against the evils of divorce while conveniently forgetting they ran off with an attractive young parishioner.

Check Hezekiah 2:41...There is an exception for "attractive young parishioners."

[highlander_UW]

Remind me of Ned Flanders. "Why me, Lord? Where have I gone wrong? I've always been nice to people! I don't drink or dance or swear! I've even kept kosher just to be on the safe side! I've done everything the Bible says – even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff! What more could I do?"

Aren't you the least embarrassed that you apparently obtain your understanding of the Bible from the Simpsons?

If there where indeed Christians in New England who supported England in its Opium War against China, one would have to know their motives before one could pass judgment, would they not? Can you see a motive? I can't. Now, if you have some quotes from one or more Christians in Boston that clearly expose their unclean motive and actions in the Opium War, then let's have them, and I will be the first to join you in agreement that these actions were wrong and unChristian.

I see...so it was wrong to murder, say, 100 years ago, but not today if the culture doesn't think so? So, murder could become a good thing if the culture adopts that belief - as the Nazis did, and the Communists?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I'm going to digress here, but you are off - way, way off.

The best Confederate general was Forrest, beyond any shadow of a doubt. The man was a born cavalry tactician.

The most overrated was Lee, who never used his forces appropriately from a strategic standpoint, considering his logistical limitations. After uselessly throwing away Pickett, Lee threw away men on a war of attrition that he was bound to lose, and couldn't identify a clear goal.

Grant was imbued with the same qualities that Bradley showed later, while Patton had a dash of Longstreet and a little more Forrest.

I'm not talking about objective good or objective bad- I'm talking about morality as a set of rules a given society follows. Each society has its own set of morals. These morals change from time to time and from society to society. The concept of absolute right and wrong is an interesting intellectual exercise, but it's mostly irrelevant.

Maybe it was just time for God to take him home because it was God's will that the South lose, and with him, they may well have won.

Since this is just what I said, I'm glad we agree that God favored the Union side in the Civil War.
