"Who gives a crap what the DUmp or Kossacks think about us? People of that ilk despise us for simply existing."
They will hate and despise us anyway, but there are also undecided people - quite many of them, actually. Being associated with YECreationism hurts our credibility among those centrist/undecided segment. Imagine that 'creation science' gains some real traction, and without proper debunking create the impression of representing the entire conservatism. Then imagine that I want to talk to students about junk science used to support the global warming scare strategy. "What? This is coming from the guy who believes that Noah abandoned dinosaurs, and that's why they have gone extinct?"

Good Bible studies, and there are some out there that are “iffy”, are great at helping understand context.
There are also some free ones online but I am not really familiar with them.
If you are interested, freepmail me and I can give you a list of some other resources (online and print) that will help in your Bible reading.

If I am not curing anyone, then why do they allow me to "practice" in them?
You should meditate on what you just wrote. Why would you need to 'practice' if you have the cure? You treat - you do not cure!
For the sake of brevity I bundled it with YECs .... I apologize for associating you with Young Earth
First of all, I wasn't looking and never asked for an apology. But I won't ask you why you did - you are way too obvious and no one needs another 'fabrication'.
I pointed it out because you post whatever you want - it's nothing to do w/brevity - it's all about your MINDSET. It's facts be damn and what you have to say is WAY more important than facts.
FWIW, you are on the wrong site pushing your propaganda. Not only on the wrong site, but definitely wrong thread. Your total lack of respect for the founder of this site is obvious but 'your' mindset says, what better time to push my wares. Go scratch cat.

Amen! Healing is there, go for it! May God’s Word be true and every man a liar.
To: eyedigress
That’s exactly what it is. When you hate evil, you can smell it when it comes near.

"FWIW, you are on the wrong site pushing your propaganda."
I am not pushing any propaganda. I am reacting, however to "I am a better Christian/conservative than you are" attitude, presented also, sadly, by the Founder in the discussed article. This attitude is completely unfounded, and if it is considered disrespectful to state it, so be it.
To: metmom
know that Ill get shredded for this again, as I have in the past, but I love science and investigating and learning about the world around us.
And it shows! You don't have an agenda - that's why you can accept truth when you find it - not, merely, making it fit.
Great post.

You haven't stopped! Stop denying the obvious.
I am reacting, however to "I am a better Christian/conservative than you are" attitude,
And how MANY posts do you need to state that one simple whiny statement? What are you so thin-skinned about? What part of Christianity does that fit into? It doesn't - so you are here to push your wares under 'the disguise'. Take your thin skinned self and go scratch.

JR is telling us what's going on and where he stands and what he's going to put up with (or not).
There is no hint of a holier than thou attitude. Nothing in what he said that portrays that attitude.
Methinks that you're being a little oversensitive. Projecting much, maybe♦?

Sorry. God did establish government. It’s in Genesis. He established government to institute the death penalty...

>>>
Mormon isnt Protestant Christian, so Utah isnt in the mix, you still have a long way to answering my post 1078 to you. I challenged this statement of yours. There seem to be a lot of fundamentalist protestants on FR who have a very narrow world view. They live in regions that are 90% protestant, and probably havent encountered many non-protestants in their everyday lives. When they encounter non-protestants on the Internet they dont see them as real Christians, but probably weird cults. <<
Yes, I answered you by citing the fact that Mississippi is well over 80% protestant and less than 5% Catholic (and the number of Orthodox Christians in Miss. is apparently so small it's under 1% and didn't make the list). Numerous other states in the bible have similar lopsided protestant margins that are around 90% protestant. South Carolina is 92% protestant and 6% Catholic. Tennessee is 87% and 5% Catholic. Apparently you choose to ignore my answer to your post because it confirmed my statements.

As usual, metmom, you are right on the money! And much kinder than I! ;)

This is coming from the guy who believes that Noah abandoned dinosaurs, and that's why they have gone extinct?" Imagine that you're creating scenarios that are likely never going to happen and reacting to some figment of your imagination.
Oh, wait. We don't have to imagine that. It's already happening.
You're justifying your position based on some scenario that you are worried about happening that has zero chance of becoming reality ?
Do you always worry about things that you THINK might happen that MIGHT make you look bad?
Do you lay awake at night thinking these things up?

FR is not fringe. Relax you're in good company. I'm sure that's how the British dismissed the American colonist upstarts with their extreme notions of freedom. This is mainstream America. If they think we're "fringe" its because they've gone over the edge on the Marxist radical left.
To: Behemoth the Cat
Looks like you’ve finally gotten what you’ve been angling for all day long. Congratulations, you’re a make-believe martyr in your own mind.
Maybe you guys can out another sleeper screen name to post a whiney opus. Seems to be SOP.
