Then you obviously are not "retiring" from the discussion.
Well, all I can say is that I notice that NOBODY seems to be able to answer the question I asked, and it's the ONLY remaining interest I have in this discussion: What happens when it fails ? (and you KNOW it will)
Quite the contrary. Your question was answered. You are the one who won't answer the question posed to you: Why was the American Revolution different enough to be justified in a way that secession would not be today???
Oh yeah, one more thing - If this were Muslims instead of Christians this whole forum would be a blaze of fury.
Of course, and for good reason: the Muslims are wrong. I mean, hello, we are not moral relativists here, are we?
As far as various biblical interpretations go, all I can say is if there is more than one interpretation of a thing, at least one of them is wrong. Claiming there are two "main" views on a certain topic means absolutely nada.
Duh. And?
And...with all due respect, that post was totally moronic. I have no further desire to communicate with you. Bye.
