*No. "Look both ways before you cross the street." Is this in the bible? Because it is not a biblical term, are you saying it doesn't exist? Does tyranny exist anywhere? Does the Bank of England exist?

God is in control of the world's events, not Satan.

*This is a COWARD's way of saying, "don't study. anything you need to know, god will tell you."

Satan is the Prince and the Power of the air.

Does it occur to you that if Jesus is building His temple made without hands, SO IS SATAN!

A-thee-ists are coming to FROWN.

They're making a plea,
and posting a sign,
They're laughing with glee
'cuz they evolved from brine.

A-thee-ists are coming to FROWN.

They see you when your happy,
They know when you have joy,
They know that Jesus truly loves,
And that love they simply HATE.

OH! (Repeat verse 1)

* Yes or No, is there such a thing as individual rights?

If your answer is no, I got nothing else to say.

* If your answer is yes, where do these rights come from:
A) Government (positivism)
B) God

If your answer is A, I got nothing else to say.

If your answer is B, then government--which is made up of individuals and NOT HUMAN GODS, cannot and shall not infringe on another persons privacy and personhood.

In civilization, there are rules to follow and if government does not follow its own rules, IT IS NOT CIVIL and Romans 13 does NOT APPLY!

from article: The group defines humanism as "a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism, affirms our responsibility to lead ethical lives of value to self and humanity."

Who decides what is ethical? What is a 'life of value?' Can humanity exist with differences of opinion? When differences do exist, is there an obligation to find compromises?

Not sure of the exact years, but Albania went 'atheist' (1967?) for several years and what are they now?

For a quick historical survey, I would recommend Lewis Mumford's, The Story of Utopia. It wasn't just Thomas More who had the 'form' of perfect civilization.

Mere philosophy (human reasoning) is unable to create an obedient productive citizenry and that a 'civil religion' (today it is new-age pantheism honoring mother earth for the dumb sheep and Luciferianism for the elite) is necessary to instill 'values' in a people.

Governance refers to the active (forceful) 'guiding hand' by those who govern over ALL of its subjects.

At the local public library where I live, as opposed to the MAIN public library in another county, there are over 100 holds on Ben Stein's, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, on I think 4 DVD's and I think the library is going to purchase more.

See. When Warmonger Bush is in office and one opposes him, that one is a terrorist.

When another kind of warmonger, Obama, takes office, one that opposes his policies would be a racist--a hate crime.

Expedience, it seems, replaces all value and meaning to terms like legitimate and illegitimate.

"No one is illegitimate just because of extraordinary circumstances like these, so long as due process was followed."

Isn't this the main sticking point? Was due process followed to the END? I believe it was not. As far as Gore winning, I guess that is a non-issue since counting votes honestly is secondary to desired results.

"It is after all, a representative republic isn't it?"

"Only a blind and stupid people would elect a morally bankrupt man like Obama !!! "

How is McCain any better?

Challenge me on the facts. What part of my statement that Bush became president due to a ruling by the supreme court in 2000, incorrect?

"Obama will attempt to destroy FREEDOM as "We" know IT !!! "

Are you some kind of guru that you know this for a fact? Bush gave us the Patriot Act. Is this not an example of a 'destroyed freedom.' You said earlier that,""We The People" will get what they ask for ... a leader can be a blessing or a curse..."

Romans 13...Romans 13...Romans 13

Submit to the State!

If you are shorted on your paycheck, don't grumble to your boss or HR, accept that god is in control!

If you get the wrong order at a restaurant, don't make a hassle, just eat what's given to you because god is in control!

If you are arrested without being charged and are taken away, don't invoke any rights, accept that god is in control!

If food prices go even higher, currency is devalued, governments runs secret wars and are in collusion with private banks, don't try to expose them, accept that god is in control!

Bill Moyers is a traitor for exposing Secret Government in his documentary on google.video.

If a preacher wants to try dancing and more dramas; or if he is obese; or if he says sodomites are decent people who god loves; or if he buys a new car or a house while everyone else is struggling, SUBMIT to him and remember he is anointed and that god is in control!

This mock trial sounds like Warren Leroi Johns', Ride to Glory.

But I am hoping a reader of SA who lives in Chicago can confirm it.

EVERY SOUL includes the cops!

Here in the US, the higher power is the rule of law spelled out in the US CONSTITUTION and enforced by the PEOPLE--NOT the elect FEW. PERIOD!

"By good people I just meant that most of them are sencere about wanting to do their job professionaly."

Thank you for responding. Yes, I stand by my comment and I think you misunderstood me.

Your relatives who are "good" cops may be an accurate description. But don't say because of this ALL cops deserve unbiased respect. A Christian may not be a person who is paranoid, but it ALSO means a person who is not naive.

"...good people..." DEFINE please before I comment.

Luke 10:19

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
- - - -

The only way a Christian can manifest this promise in his life is to LEARN the characteristics of serpents and scorpions. One should NEVER tell another: just pray and because God is in control, you don't have to open your eyes WIDE OPEN and understand what is in man's heart.

Where was she and her communist ilk when war games like Call of Duty were put out?

Is she suggesting that the first amendment be re-written? First of all, the market-place is BOTH the NEED-CREATOR AND THE NEED-SATISFIER. Second of all, banning the sale of this game only encourages boot-leg copies and online play. Thirdly, only crooked-cops should have something to worry about.
