ISIS butchers people and enslaves and rapes girls and women with impunity.
We do basically very little.
There are estimates that between 5 and 600,000 Christians have been murdered in the Middle East in the last 2 years. (I heard this from someone talking to Beck. Gaffney?)
By all means, Pres WGAF, let’s start an ISIS support ‘club’ here. We can consult with the jihadi who beheaded the Oklahoma woman for rules.
My God, I hate these people. We can NOT live around them.

I rebuke you in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Thank you.
Satan’s unleashing his demons, it seems.
You watch. Obama will announce the Iran agreement on Good Friday.
That wouldn’t surprise me at all.
It is good for me and I hope others that in your statement you included the Rothschilds. The centuries old family has spawned the likes of Lenin/Marx, Soros, and the UN by way of the Rockefellers.
the problem is that atheists think they have an inborn ‘morality’ apart from the universal morality created by God- they think they can arbitrarily dictate what morality should and shouldn’t be, based solely on subjective and ever changing ethics- and so for someone like Phil to say that they don’t have morals enrages them because they think they do- they think God isn’t needed for morals, and that hteir subjective morals are all that society needs- however, the fact is that objective unchanging morals, a universal moral code created by God and instilled in everyone’s hearts (although many learn to IGNORE it and pretend it doesn’t exist) is what governs simply because it’s unchanging and absolute and objective- favoring NOONE- and applying it’s code across the board to all people-
Oh well- Duck Dynasty ruffles feathers again- the left goes mental over it- typical day of the week lately
He’s 100% right, of course.
“Also, Considering Christians are overwhelmingly more likely to be criminals, the sick murderers in this story are most likely Christians”
Yeah, it sure was those nasty Christians that did 9/11, and the 1993 trade center bombing, and the Achille Lauro, and the Khobar Tower bombing..
Right?

I say what I mean and I don't speak gibberish. You want to say you're a Protestant who thinks Catholics are going to heaven, or a Catholic who thinks Protestants are going to heaven, just say it - I'd love to hear it.
But don't pretend you don't know what I mean, because you do know very well. If you're living a faith, then live it openly and don't hide behind games.
My faith in Jesus Christ is very simple. I believe both Protestants and Catholics who follow - live - Jesus' self-declared "greatest commandment" are going to heaven, and those who don't are going to hell. If you have a problem with that, I really don't care.

No reason to!
Yeshua told his disciples to just shake the dust off their sandals.

I can think of a large number of circumstances under which killing someone is a moral act.
I’m always leary of assuming that God is the one actually communicating with me. It is easy to deceive ourselves, and there are spirit creatures interested in pretending they are or represent God to deceive us.
I assume what you’re trying to get at is whether an act is moral simply because God commands it, as in Abraham being ordered to sacrifice his son.
All I can say is that if I were in Abraham’s shoes, God would have to find somebody else to be the father of a multitude. If that means I’m setting up my own moral judgment as superior to God, so be it.
Technically, you can’t hang from a petard, which is an explosive device kind of like a mine.
-f there is no God, nothing we do matters, and we can do anything we want. -
What a full of shit statement.
Correct, and I would agree with this - there is no absolute right or wrong.
(...)
I just don’t think there is any objective basis for morality. At the same time I can see the problems that presents.
Do you really? If you did, why would you believe something so problematic?
Are you going to say, “Because it’s the truth”? Given what you believe, truth about morality is as baseless as morality itself. So you somebody could say, “No, it’s not the truth”, and there would be no basis to refute it. Such a belief is a self-defeating philosophy.
I can address other things in your post if you wish, but this is the most significant portion of it, IMO.
What if they took his manhood in the name of God ?
-f there is no God, nothing we do matters, and we can do anything we want. -
What a full of shit statement.
LOL! If there is no God, who’s keeping score? You could be like Leonard Lake and never be brought to earthly justice.
Get away with torture and murder, and after a number of years (or centuries, or millennia) you and your “crimes” have been forgotten.
Besides, we are just animals. Animals harm and kill each other all the time. When they go extinct, which we will eventually be, there will be nothing around that cares what our entire species did, much less an individual.
So live it up! LOL!
I can’t find anything in that to argue with. ;-)
