Here is an interesting philosophy. I've always liked this: The Nine Principles of the Goddess 1. I acknowledge that there is one Goddess in essence, Creatrix of all existences; Her forms are infinite, She manifests Herself in our love, and we are all Her lovers. 2. Treat all beings with reciprocity, for the Goddess lives in them as well as in us. 3. Tolerate other religions and do not compel others to join the circle of the Goddess: the Goddess will draw those to Her who are ready and hear Her call. 4. Worship Her by restoring balance to Her planet. 5. Eat mostly grains, vegetables and fruits, so that there will be enough food for all; when you eat thank the Goddess, the provider of all energy. It is not forbidden to eat animal flesh in moderation, but when you do so you must thank the animal that you eat as well. 6. In the circle of the Goddess create consensus while respecting diversity of opinion. On the path of the Goddess there are many paths. 7. In your home create a sacred space for the Goddess to please Her. Meditate on the Goddess three times a day, at rising, at noon and at sundown. 8. Sexuality is Her sacrament; enjoy this gift and bless those who you share it with love and affection. Remember that overcoming jealousy is the cause of cessation of the cycle of rebirth. 9. Announce the religion of the Goddess to the world through good works, honest words and selfless acts of beauty and love.

Christ said he would come back to bring a sword
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
THE FEDS ONLY HAVE POWER THAT WAS GIVEN TO THEM BY THE STATES. READ CAREFULLY AS WORDS HAVE MEANINGS. CONGRESS HAS A SET OF POWERS GIVEN TO THEM BY THE STATES. CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW......DOESN'T MEAN STATES CAN'T. CONGRESS AND THE FEDERAL LAWS ARE ONLY FOR DC. YOU KNOW THE 1O SQUARE MILE WHERE THEY HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION. THE ONLY OTHER PLACE THE FEDERAL LAWS ARE VALID IS ON MILITARY BASES, AND POST OFFICES. THE REST IS FOR THE STATES TO DECIDE. I'VE DECIDED YOU HAVE SIDED WITH THE USURPERS.

An official religion has a chilling effect on the rights and freedom of worship - or not believe in religion - therefore no religion is given an official role in government. Government is supposed to stay clear of playing favorites. Having a state religion would open up anyone not of that religion to oppression and open discrimination because they were not of the religion tied to the government. Government is supposed to keep larger groups from picking on smaller groups. That is why no religion is official; as nothing would protect anyone not of it from the toxic and hostile whims and caprice of those of the religion with a governmental mantle of authority pervading it.
Sure. Use google and find a case called Marbury vs. Madison. This will explain it to you. I don't have time to explain high school civics here. As I said above, the reality is that the states don't have the power to establish a state religion. As someone already noted on this thread, this was done to protect the population from people like you. Your argument here is that you don't like it and that you wish the situation was different. When you finish with this argument, the states still do not have the power to establish a state religion.
So instead of allowing Him to do as He said He would, you have decided to do it for Him? So tell me, how many souls have you won for our Lord with your tactics?
Don't yell at me with capital letters. Keep it civil. Making wrong statements louder simply does not make them right.
Yes the first usurption. Just because it happened long ago and set a precedent doesn't mean it is the law. Get back to the root. The constitution. If a law conflicts with it, no matter what some guy in a robe( who isn't really a citizen according to THE REAL 13th AMENDMENT) tells you. Use your own mind...the words have meaning. Dont let some judge steal your rights. FUCK THE GOVERNMENT

Caps is to highlight it. It is not yelling. That is some gay aol saying.

Stone, did you ever consider founding a "Hate for Jesus" ministry? You and all the other hate filled, bigoted religions kooks could sit around and tell each other how God wanted you to torure heritics. It would be a big hit in fundie circles.
So tell me, how many souls have you won for our Lord with your tactics? God said to preach the whole word...not some sugar coating of the word like saying the garden of eden is fiction. Guess what Hell and witches are in the Bible. Guess what God said they are going to hell. If you want to help someone you would inform them of it instead of letting them go to the dark side. Take a stand. Jesus said those who were luke warm would be spit out of his mouth. Me im red hot.

It would be a big hit in fundie circles. You are misrepresenting what I said. Where did I say to torture anyone. that is what Bush is for not me.

This guy is too much. He is assuming that the Constitution was adopted to make worse the problems maintaining the political and social cohesion of this nation the Articles of Confederation were causing in the several states. I doubt of he has the tools to understand how case law - Stare Decisis - works; never mind understand the decision you cite - Marbury vs. Madison - and why it is a cornerstone decision of the U.S. Supreme Court. Nice try though.
You are such an ass. Show me in the constitution where it says law is determined by who has the best lawyer and how some case comes out. NOW COME ON THAT IS ASSININE.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
So you think case law trumps the constitution. Of commie.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
You can be red hot AND dead wrong at the same time - but I think deep down you know this. How many souls have you won for Christ?
On this thread you seemed to delight in someone being burned at the stake. I would have to comb through threads for other instances and I don't want to waste my time doing that. But how can you be a rapture monkey and not want to hurt those who don't agree with your silly, narrow view? Doesn't this come with the territory? How does the Taliban handle disagreement? How would your theocracy handle it? How did Cotton Mather handle it?
How many souls have you won for Christ? Yes you can be red hot and wrong.... I don't know how many souls I won. I thought faith came by hearing the word. How many have you won? How many have you lead astray by claiming Genesis is not true?

Heh, he likely believes Cotton Mather is a device invented by Eli Whitney to efficiently and quickly remove seeds from fresh picked cotton, and that the cotton gin was a judge who hung people who denied they were witches in Salem, Massachusetts. ;-)
But how can you be a rapture monkey and not want to hurt those who don't agree with your silly, narrow view? Doesn't this come with the territory? How does the Taliban handle disagreement? How would your theocracy handle it? How did Cotton Mather handle it? I said that in times past some of these witches would have been burnt at the stake. That is a fact it happened, i neither condemed or encouraged it, i just stated a fact. Rapture monkey? I don't believe in a rapture. What people do is mix the "rapture" in with the second coming. Make two doctrines out of one. I believe in the second coming. I wouldn't believe to much propaganda against the Taliban. 911 was an inside job.

Why do you hate Jesus? He gave his life freely so you could have life.

Do you think wiccans have their root in satanism?

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT I told you that the US Contstitution, as it has been understood by the US Supreme Court for over a century, does not allow the states to set up a state religion. In fact, it never allowed this. I presented both the case where this interpretation is made and the case that allows the Supreme Court to make this interpretation. You are now arguing that if the United States Government went away, the States could then set up a state religion. Do you realize how silly you sound when you back track this way?
I asked the question first - give me a straight answer. YOU would know how any souls have been won to Christ through YOUR teachings or gentle persuasion. Where did I say Genesis was untrue? In fact - where did I mention it at all? You are so focused on the fire and brinstone aspect of Christ's teachings that you fail to see the love He left us. You are so obsessed with being right that you look past the fact that there was only one perfect man to walk the earth - so we can all be wrong. You are so focused on everyone elses *sins* that you fail to look on this thread and see where you may have sinned as well. How can you expect anyone to take you seriousley?
Ok that is your opinion. Now all you have to do to win the argument is show me from the constitution where the supreme court gets to decide and be the final arbitrator of the decision. Good luck, its not there.

No.. but if you want to get biblical.. yes.. LOL
Aw! The last refuge of an ideolog with a position he cannot defend. Why do you hate America? Why do you hate the troops? Why do you hate Jesus? Why do you hate mom and apple pie?
Actually I can't know a persons soul. Jesus said not to judge if someone is going to heaven or hell. (on an individual basis) Judgement is gods.

You use your twisted sense of religion as an excuse to keep from having to work. Get into the depths of the issues involved in this and other threads and use your gray matter to understand the facts and concepts we speak of here. You are stalling, and your posture as a holier then thou Christian Talibanee does not cut the mustard, you forum General Custer.
You are so focused on the fire and brinstone aspect of Christ's teachings that you fail to see the love He left us. You said it in other places. I can't believe you don't remember it. You ignore the fire and brimstone. God said to PREACH his WHOLE WORD. Read all my posts they are filled with lots of love.

Then you should look a tad bit further up this thread - because you DID condemn a certain sect/person to hell..... I am now off to church. This has been rather.... enlightening.
So do you or don't you hate Jesus? Even though it was for Mike.

I am now off to church. This has been rather.... enlightening. I type of person yes, an individual NO!! Some people are going to Hell capps. In fact most of them.

So you dont believe wiccans are from satanist cult. Does that mean you don't believe the Bible is the word of God?
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
You are stalling, and your posture as a holier then thou Christian Talibanee does not cut the mustard, you forum General Custer. I work 7 days a week, or at least 6.

Heh, actually you use your words like some use a bug bomb. Thanks for sharing anyway. I always appreciate a target rich environment such as you. I find you deluded, but you are indeed a very entertaining a spectacle.
Im not hollier than thou. I have lots of problems lots of sin. Im working on it.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Ok that is your opinion. No. That is not my opinion. I didn't say a word. You are spinning again. That is the opinion of the United States Supreme Court. I quoted them to make my point. If you think this opinion is incorrect, cite a higher recognized authority that contradicts the opinion.
The effective range of an excuse is zero point zero meters.
Its their opinion, that you seem to share. Now run along and find me some backing for that opinion in the constitution(you know the supreme law of the land.)

what?
