I agree with you about the Ten Commandments and the New Testament insofar as I understand it. For a long time I thought we were freed from the "law" and Jesus said it was impossible to keep the commandments (he told a young man to keep them).

I'm stuck on the Sabbath now. It is still Saturday. Sunday is the Lord's Day. I try to at least remember it now but don't know how we are supposed to keep it holy.

Other than that, I'm thankful for the ten commandments. They must be good or others wouldn't mock them or try to take them away. Also whoever it was that caused the Georgia Guidestaones to be erected. Those are really diabolical.

Islam never appealed to me. The only book I ever read about them was kind of romantic but not to the point I would want to follow, Michener's "Caravans".

They are brainwashed to the point the normal ones are fanatics when push comes to shove. They won't leave but very few. I wouldn't want to pay the penalty either.

At one time I would have at least been more favorably disposed toward them in society, maybe even friendship. Now I don't think I could. I don't want to feel this way necessarily, but they can't be trusted, and the basest of them are animals and think they are religious.

I won't bring my daughter reading the Koran; she still goes to church and selectively reads the bible some. But we have to be vigilant over our young ones. Islam can have some kind of demonic or hypnotic appeal. They don't like society's rules but those that choose to will enthusiastically debase themselves and practice Islam.

If our young start to stray, I don't know how or if we can get them back. It's almost like that cult crazy where some parents kidnapped their sons or daughters out of it and had to hire deprogrammers.

My am I a Chatty Cathy tonight. I thought of that doll, not for years have I thought of that lol.

Can Muslim children have dolls and stuffed animals? I have watched them play on swings, etc.; they seem pretty ordinary in that respect. They have no cultural background in art. Music is not encouraged. Did you ever hear of a Muslim playing the piano?

Their lives are so restricted, they have no healthy outlets, and their women seem to like being ruled by their masters. It's more male dominated than Christianity ever was.

All I’m saying is that I don’t think that Carson will take Trump out. I do think that Trump just might insult enough of his competition, badly and tastelessly enough, that he will fall out of his leadership position. And, yes I do think that that might still happen. I don’t think that Trump will be the nominee.

My concern mirrors yours about being in charge of a nuclear nation and voicing that belief.

I have to agree with everything you said.

There may be good muslims but islam isn’t good.

It’s about conquest at all costs and subjugating the conquered.

Heck, they make conservative Christian men look like liberals :)

you kind of have to have a little sense of humor to be on this board, it helps.

Doesn't go with a screen name like hers. She has the requisite attitude however, in case you hadn't noticed. Indiscriminate postings from questionable websites to make a name for herself on the board.

I'm so sick and damn tired of the minorities telling us how it really is with their "in your face" mentality. This "faux thread" is a freaking joke. Except to show FR has been infiltrated by lemmings who will indiscriminately flock to any pied piper calling a tune.

Five Thirty Eight is a product of The New York Times, in case anyone cares to check. The equivalent of electronic fishwrap. Or maybe electronic vomit is closer to the truth.

But it's what you get when affirmative action meets white guilt on the battlefield. Same thing as happens when you feed a child self-esteem in the school system instead of good judgment.

I'm seriously considering changing my screen name to "WhiteMaleNavalAdmiral". Maybe I'll get flamed, ya think?

PS: Who in their right mind really believes we need back-to-back black presidents after eight years of the teflon-coated treasoner-in-chief?

trump claims to be a member of Marble Collegiate Church. Marble Collegiate is affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church in America, a mainline, liberal Protestant denomination. As a child, he attended Sunday School at First Presbyterian in Jamaica, NY. Marble Collegiate reports that trump is not an “active member,” but that his parents were active members.

The Fundy Wacko vote in Iowa is just thst. Some crackpot minister there ran a campaign against Trump because he disapproved of his personal life and ignored his strength and political views, He would rather back a decent man who has no chance of winning a general election, let alone the primary and let some establishment hack or even Hillary gain the White House than support a guy he views as morally inferior. And, apparently, a lot of Idiots Out Walking Alone have been drawn out of their cornfields to agree with him. The good news is Iowa is Iowa. If Carson wins there it’s no big deal, and Trump still has three months to recover in the land of Toto and Dorothy. He should paint the picture in real terms. Carson us a nice man, right on issues, but would ge shredded by Hillery in a national campaign.
