Same as above goes for you. Deal with it. You choose to be part of a diverse group, and label yoruself with that group affiliation. Not my fault.

Edit: By the way, you'll notice I never said "Christians do blah blah blah" - I said Christianity. The Institution. To clarify your misunderstanding.

Because some of them will cut your head off, if you don't.

I've noticed, in several of your posts, that you attribute people not agreeing with you to them not understanding or acknowledging your point.

You have to admit, sometimes people just disagree.

You mean "giving" it to him up the ass.

I'm with Flint about the INSTITUTION of Christianity not being christianity, or christians, or anything, in the same way that the White House is not America.

What you do is blame Christianity for the actions of individual people or religions. If you have a problem with some part (or all of) the Roman Catholic Religion, you say Christianity. Same with the Baptist Religion, or Lutheran, et al. That's not right. When you say Christian or Christianity that includes(unfairly) everyone.

I've explained what I mean by Christian, countless times. It's the obvious definition.

I don't know if he thought it would give him, or her, the prowess.

I wonder what is blasphemy? My ironic thread title, or the incredible hypocrite behavior of a President of 20,000,000 christians in the US and A? Or for instance catholic priests fondling around with kids, of which I'm certain has only been shown a tip of the iceberg? Grapes are sour, Wolf?

According Haggard's lover they had only sex one time. Usually they performed oral sex.... oops... massage.

Watched Haggard answering questions in his car, his wife sitting next to him. Felt sorry for her, being married an sitting next to such a creep.

That's called a price support, its part of the Republican agenda.

Who are you talking about?

According Haggard´s own website:

"Pastor Ted Haggard is the president of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), the largest evangelical group in America."

Sorry, I was wrong, it wasn´t 20 Mio but 30 Mio.

Who do you thought I was talking about, Merl Haggard?

xoxoxoBruce · 11-05-2006, 09:05 AM

I didn't know if you were talking about Haggard or Bush. All you said was president of 20 million christians in the US.

As an aside, don't be fooled into thinking more than 10% of those 30 million people he purports to represent, even knew his name before the shit hit the fan.
