So the Army of God assassin (murdered an abortion doctor) speaks for you? Westboro Church speaks for you? Careful how you answer that; if you say no, then you've invalidated your entire argument, as well as the "myth of small numbers"....

The major--major--problem with this strategy is ignoring the fact that not all muslims are alike--just like not all Christians are alike. Those muslims that don't ascribe to fighting the "outsiders," and actually enjoy the benefits of working with us, actually outnumber the ones who wage...

Y'all need to define "terrorism" before you continue this discourse.

Perhaps you're right: rabbits growl, they scratch, they lunge, and sometimes they even bite.

People, people, people. We were doing such a good job of not responding. It was actually quiet. Then y'all had to go and let a farcical opening post draw you in. I mean, seriously: his final statement was "maybe I should join them but don't tell the leadership at the baptist church" -- meaning...

Actually, Tom, he didn't admit to it. BUT--he didn't deny it, which usually concludes tacit admission. I respect him for helping several children becoming respectable adults. I admire you for doing what I haven't done. Your point, which is the crux of this discussion, is the more valid one...

Judith - thanks for the link. I'm gonna take this to our trustees, who believe the same way I do; and then we'll talk to our county and state associations. I foresee this causing a split in the SBC....

He ain't your kid. He ain't my kid. Though I don't know him, I would probably say he ain't saved. You wanna hold him to your standards, that's YOUR issue, not an indicator of wrong-doing. Apparently, he originally planned to leave it on the U.S. side unattended. No one knew there were guns in it...

Not what I admitted at all. Don't put words in my mouth. I agreed that he followed his lawyer's advice and lied about being in Mexico previously. Fine line difference, but a difference. See, right now, I'm following your example and just posting things; the difference, however, is that it's not...

(Was saving that for the final argument for Matt Wade to work on)

Being in Mexico before: on May 29, he told Greta Van Susteren he had been there earlier in the day. It wasn't until around a week later that the Mexican authorities started reporting this. Lying about this: Tahmooressi says his lawyer advised him to do so. That lawyer was subsequently fired...

What did he lie about? "Obviously up to no good"? Please provide your evidence. "Doesn't display good judgment"? Again, please provide your evidence.

Um...you're in error. You should try reviewing the case again before you get any more facts wrong.

Meh. That area has Peroutka; Dems have Rangel, Wasserman-Schultz, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, Farrakhan....

Jordan - WOW. God bless you.

So Monday I accepted a promotion. Wednesday, my youngest daughter turned 18 (still at home, along with a 15-year old boy). And this morning, my wife was diagnosed with rectal cancer. Won't have the actual biopsy report til around next Wednesday. Appointment with a specialist has already been...

"Legal" does not mean "right"; or even "moral." "Legal" does not circumvent God's gift of life. So the discussion is far from over. And your implication that a court of human beings overrides God's edicts against murder--is the most troubling part of this discussion.

Well, that's easy. They don't have any speeches to turn over, because they preached sermons. Now, if she actually uses the word "speech," ya think the ACLU will get involved?

Don't sweat it. He had a bad day. He started a thread to show how he's being persecuted for doing God's work, and instead of getting high fives or at least fist bumps, he got raked over the coals. He doesn't understand why we're not congratulating him, or giving praise about how his ministry is...

Point being, if you're gonna say that something's added, but it's biblical--prove it. Especially when it's germaine to the topic of the thread. And my comments are primarily directed at evangelist. I'd like to see him actually support a statement, rather than just make one.
