Re: Was the West founded on Christian Values?
Rick, if chattel slavery was being endorsed after the Declaration then I’ll take back everything I’ve bloody said. I’m aware that it still went on, but if it was being endorsed or had some blind eyes turned to it by those who had drawn up the Declaration then that’s a different matter. Danny, the D...

Re: Was the West founded on Christian Values?
Danny, chattel slavery is completely different from slavery in the bible. Chattel slaves weren't even human in the eyes of the law. Danny, the problem is, that included in those "ideals", is the idea that African slaves were sub-human. That HUGE part of American history is surely not Chri...

Re: Photos
That's a beautiful picture. Since living in Florida, I don't see much of that anymore. Florida is really flat. Is that Scotland? I really have to visit someday. I'm only the 2nd generation born in the U.S. On my Mom's side. They were from Scotland.

Re: Was the West founded on Christian Values?
I consider the Bible to be the ultimate standard. Yet slavery existed within its pages. Danny, chattel slavery is completely different from slavery in the bible. Chattel slaves weren't even human in the eyes of the law. I agree. This is abominable, Rick. Abortion on demand, it seems. Wherever I blo...

Re: Was the West founded on Christian Values?
Danny, if we're keeping this as referring to a debate about if the u.s. was a Christian nation from the 1700's(time of the founding fathers), then this definition you posted, actually hurts your argument: So my understanding is that any Christian nation would have to believe in things like the equal...

Re: Was the West founded on Christian Values?
Grizz, let me take your points and change a few things, and then I'd agree: 1. The vast majority of the FF's were Christians. (whether they were what some call true Christians or not I'll get to later) 2. The vast majority of the population were Christians. 3. The principles of our form of governmen...

Re: 2011 disasters
Ok Gman, I'll bite: Time is ticking.. If the U.S. defaults on it's loans, it won't be a good thing. There were many prophets who predicted that a collapse could be coming to America this summer and if not this summer sometime in the near future. The Bible predicts such things... Why more people are ...

Re: Was the West founded on Christian Values?
Grizz, would you then say that any Mormon who claims he's a Christian, is indeed a Christian? The new Mormon marketing methods claim that Mormons are Christians too. I've seen many of their commercials in my area. According to you, we are not to judge the claims of those who claim to be Christian. I...

Re: Does This Sound Loving?
and Im sure if I googled christian reincarnation I could find biblical support for it as well jlay. Murray, if you want to start a new topic on what you call christian reincarnation, and post what you think is biblical support, then I think you'd find more than enough people that would easily refut...

The idea of equality of men, as long as they aren't black men stolen from their homes, and forced into slavery.Where does the ideal of the equality of men have its base?

Re: Was the West founded on Christian Values?
Grizz, while I agree with this: These were Christian men in some respect. But they were also rebels who violated the very teachings of scripture. Don't we all? There are no perfect Christians. The one, and only one, was evacuated out of here some 2000 years ago. We try as best we can, as did the FF'...

Re: Was the West founded on Christian Values?
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. As I am entitled to disagree with it. I based my opinion on the evidence that I posted. Your opinion is based on? And how do you reconcile all the references to Christianity in the above posts of mine if in fact we were not founded as a Christian nation? ...

Re: Was the West founded on Christian Values?
I'm sorry but there is no half way on the Christian Principles or the FACT that this Nation was founded By Christians, for Christians. Now that is not to say, and I agree with you on the FACT, that people are granted the absolute right to worship whatever they want in this country. And that Right w...

Re: Homosexuality
Many people on this site claim that animals DON'T have souls! I am happy to know that your sect of Christianity has some level of compassion for animals... I don't belong to any particular "sect" of Christianity. I don't think one has to believe some animals have souls, to have compassion...

I already gave you several definitions from MANY dictionaries! None of which state that homosexuality is a human condition only! There are many definitions but all basically meaning animals who are attracted to those of the same gender. Animals including human beings. Every definition you posted sh...
