If I had a son, I'd wish he was like this one.

If he was my son I'd explain to him the difference between apples and oranges.

Meaning?


~Reads the quote while waiting for responce~

"Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

So the female prostitues are free to do as they please.

They also fall under the immoral category.

Then why are male prostitutes listed separately? They could also just fall under the immoral category.

More like George Dubya Bush & Sarah Palin type speech patterns.

And I find it ironic we still have "Under God" in the pledge in a country that's supposed to separate church and state.
And if god's supposedly gonna have all the gays and atheiests burn in agony for all eternity (Which he/she/it better not...because that would make him/her/it a very small-minded, petty thinking deity.), standing up for the pledge is irrelevent to begin with.

Like Picard said, "If we're going to be damned, let's be damed for what we really are."

What we really are? A country founded on Judeu-Christian values?

 

[Rii]

That's, err, one interpretation of history. It would be more accurate to say that the United States, like most countries in the world today, was founded upon the blood of innocents, but then that could be seen as tautological. Regardless, the demise of religion in government it's what we call 'progress'.

Most of the founding fathers, from what we can see in their writings, were deists, who weren't considered to be Christians at the time. Jefferson went so far as to edit the Bible to remove all the miracles from it.

Ben Franklin was an athiest. He thought people who believed in god were funny farm stock.

Being a libertarian, pansexual pagen myself, I neither want nor desire Judeu-Christianty's god's so-called kingdoms, nor do I feel the need to stand up and pledge alliegence to anything or anyone. Only pledge I'll tinker with is the furnature cleaner....if not Endust.

Interesting that he wrote this then.....

“The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend to all the happiness of man.”

“Of all the systems of morality, ancient or modern which have come under my observation, none appears to me so pure as that of Jesus.”

"I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus." [Letter to Benjamin Rush April 21, 1803]

Benjamin Franklin: | Portrait of Ben Franklin
“ God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel” –Constitutional Convention of 1787 | original manuscript of this speech

“In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered… do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?” [Constitutional Convention, Thursday June 28, 1787]

In Benjamin Franklin's 1749 plan of education for public schools in Pennsylvania, he insisted that schools teach "the excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern."

In 1787 when Franklin helped found Benjamin Franklin University, it was dedicated as "a nursery of religion and learning, built on Christ, the Cornerstone."


Oh, if you have a decent piece of furniture, I'm BEGGING you not to use Endust. It's just awful...

I am an athesist nd I have a great respect for Jesus and do believe that if we followed his teachings we would probably be better people. It is a pity that few Christians really understand his message.

I also have the same respect and opinion concerning Buddha.

I respect your opinion.

Yeah, that's definitely not true. I don't think Franklin was the biggest fan of organized religion but he believed in a god. Here's a quote from his autobiography.

I never was without some religious principles I doubted for instance the existence of a Deity that he the world and governed it by his providence that the acceptable service of God was the doing good to man our souls are immortal and that all crimes will be and virtue rewarded either here or hereafter.
