You're warped in your logic hamtaro. So if you don't believe a tornado that's in a direct path to your home will not hit your home, then you don't have to worry about it, or do anything about it?
Or, hey dad, i don't believe you knew what you were doing when you made up the rules for the family. Therefore, from this day on, i'm living by my own rules.

Isin't the lord Super, I only feel bad for you because when you die you will realize all the time you wasted was for nothing. That must be the most uncomforting feeling, the point where you realize your faith meant nothing and evrything you belief in was a lie. I hope you find something to ease the pain. I think you're looking to find happiness in Religion but the only true happiness you can recieve is from yourself and what you give to other people.

edit: This does not mean I don't belief in the afterworld it just means I don't belief there is a heaven or hell, but yes I think we are on a journey of some sort to do something bigger and better then ourselves.

Don't feel bad for me.. The Lord is giving me practically a free ride through this world. He's already assured me that He's taking care of me all the way to the finish. So like the lillies of the field and the birds in the trees that neither reap or sow and yet the Lord cares for them, I too know that my life is in Good hands.

What's the point of living?

The point of living is to give all creation our testimony of where we stand with the God of the universe and the respect we have for His creation. This we do with our daily lives, both in deed and thought... whether we're aware of it or not.

I heard that in the lang of blisstonia everyone is happy all day and there is only one type of person, and he looks just like you!

Blisstonia is known for its high levels of bliss isnt it? "The leader is good, the leader is great, we surrender our will as of this date".

I dont think there has ever been an online conversation involving religion that hasnt gone horribly horribly wrong.

God is in control. Nothing happens unless He allows it. What's going on is according to His purpose.

Thanks for completely dodging the question.

But why are we under testimony?

Is Heavensent for real or is he just trying real hard to be funny? All his stuff I read just gives me a good laugh so I am not sure.

There will be no athiests on the day the Lord returns!

Good, then you can say "I told you so" to everyone.

He's already assured me that He's taking care of me all the way to the finish.

By any chance were you riding the white poney when he assured you? If not, how did he assure you?

HeavenSent how old are you?

No need to get personal here folks. It's bad enough to have to stand up and defend your faith. A lot of these questions are well thought out, but a lot of them are petty ones trying to sneak in a kidney shot under the haymakers.

I (personally) am not asking him to defend his faith. What I am asking is that if he thinks that certain people should not be let into this country, what are the requisites for doing so? It's a secular question.

Basically he's provoking him into wanting to express his slightly racist and factually unsound views, then realising he can't and either ignoring the thread or posting a really weak comeback.

My logic is based more on facts, you're assuming that their will be someone their for you when you die and that God does exist but you have no proof. Rather you live your life based on a document that is fictioion.

A)Stop being ageism, it's just as bad as racism in some ways. And I find it funny that your wife is only a few years older then me.
B)Stop comparing God to actual events like a tornado, they have nothing to do with eachother. I think your biggest problem is mixing up fact and fiction.

I was referring to the heritage of the founding fathers and those of the original 13 colonies. Also if the shoe fits, many Western European immigrants. America's first 100 years, the immigrants were predominately from the U.K. It's my opinion that America's decline is due to the influx of non-Western Europeans and the influences of their culture.

It's also my opinion that when you have a tolerant people that allow other cultures which exhibit intolerance to reside and gain power in national politics, soon liberties begin to fade. It's the intolerant in high places that hinder life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. It's the intolerant that seek control and censorship. It's the intolerant that have infiltrated our country and desire to destroy it from within.

Above is my original quote that started you morons on your tangent. Kolar has convienently replaced the word "intolerant" with "aggressive".
..and Concretehead assumes because of my observation, that I'm implying that my intentions are towards isolation and getting the foreigners out. He's trying to lead me on a topic I have no desire to pursue. Why? Because there's nothing anyone can do about it. There's evil in the world. What can we do about it? Only throw them in jail when they break the law.
How do we make the world a peaceful place? When will all the wars and chaos cease to be? When the Prince of Peace returns.. and only then will we have true peace.

Because in reality, we are spiritual beings passing through this physical world. It was in our pre-incarnate existence that we, everyone, all God's children disappointed God by rebelling against His authority. One-third tried to take over God's throne room; One-third was deceived by the first third and the remaining third was too apathetic to do anything about the rebellion. God would have destroyed all He created but there was a comparative small group that was really close to God. God calls this group His Elect. It was for this group that God spared all His children and set up a trial. This physical world as we know it now is that trial. In this trial, as each soul is "born from above" that soul takes the witness stand to give an account of where they stand with God and His creation. Satan wasn't always the Evil One. Before the rebellion he was one of the best creatures God had made. God said that He held nothing back when He made Lucifer. Lucifer was full of beauty and wisdom until his pride caused wickedness to creep in his heart. It was then that Lucifer thought that he could take the place of God and be God.

Or maybe I had already spent too much time on this for the day and I had other things to do. Regarding your opinion of my views... that's just your opinion. As i said before I don't need anyone at all to validate who i am and what I believe. If I stand alone, so be it. It's a legacy for men of God to stand alone. The masses are asses and always will be.
