Hi. You can just click again if you want your name removed.
The Word of God is Truth; if it is not in the Word of God, it is not Truth.
The Gospel is the instructions to be a better Christian and to become more like Christ. This will show our good works, and show a light that will give Glory to God.

Walk daily with the Lord and learn his ways.

             We walk by faith, and not by sight.

I won't give up on the CNN site, but I don't know how much more I can do when there are a lot of new posters lol .

Yes, a lot of new names have been showing up lately. Many of them make Amos look like a paragon of liberal theology. We can not fight all of the dragon’s heads, however, our remarks do provide counterpoint to their dour world view.

Thanks. They (why is it always “They”?) they say it is a poor day you don’t learn something new. Well unless you spend the day sitting under a tree re-reading a favorite novel.

I didn't know that about the add-ons, though, gotta look into that.

Shameless Plug-INs

I’ll make a shameless plug for a couple other useful, free plug-ins

First, WOT (Web of Trust)
WOT is a crowd sourced rating system for the “safety” of a website, rating each site for both spam and content reliability. I particularly like the feature that tells me when I have previously rated a website. Thus if I have found a site dubious in the past, I will be reminded of that when I go to the site.

Second, Rbutr
I was just reminded of this plug-in with Croguet_Player’s comments on the children-endangered-by-puberty-blockers-medical-experts-warn article.

I used to use this plug-in and contributed rebuttals on a regular basis. Lately I have not been contributing and it looks like activity has fallen off. A real shame, a year ago the tool was getting 20-odd new rebuttals per day.  Now it seems only a few per week. Still it is a useful cross-check when an article doesn't seem to ring true.

Yea, it is not often that I (and I notice you) agree with Amos.

Lots of new posters on all sides of the issue and lots of new people up voting comment

Amos annoys me a lot, but here, at least, he's ideologically consistent. He genuinely believes that there is nothing to lose from such a conversation because his side is the Truth. It doesn't make him less of a fundie, but at least it's not the hypocrisy I usually see.

568 comments in the thread?? THIS is what gets them the most heated? Arguing about theology?

This would be like if I ignored threads about law and politics but stayed up all night arguing about whether the Death Star could beat the Enterprise.

...There is at least one forum that was created just for that debate.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Shit like this is why I left the faith. This just happens to be what they show. I'm willing to put down money, and good money, that this kind of thing is common at their churches. Hell, it's common in a lot of them. I remember a pastor of mine got his pay slashed by the church because, get this, he had a sermon about Passover on Passover and people were asking if they were Passover Christians now. The bickering, backstabbing, and constant pressure to adhere to the various doctrines of faith is both exhausting and disheartening.

And it depends on which Enterprise. UCC-1701 of any variety? They'll find a way to science it.

And over on this thread there are 80 odd comments concerning which Bible should be used.
