Based on what I saw in that video, the incident was over as soon as the kid dropped to the ground and stopped moving. The physical attack by the officers, in my opinion, was unwarranted. Unfortunately, in my experience in such matters, it appears that adrenaline got the better of them. Why did...

Just a guess--but based on his postings in other threads, I'd say he's referring to "insanity".

Then don't you actually mean there will be an attempt to use the military by those who run our country? The way you word it, you make it sound as if the military is going to be responsible; when we both know that what you mean is that someone (or more accurately, more than just one) will attempt...

You know, some day, you're really going to have to tell us why you hate the military so much. Did some GI steal your girlfriend or something? Or, based on what you posted in another thread, coupled with your obvious hatred of policemen, do you just have a problem with authority figures in...

And harsh words hide the sin of pride, while confession and forsaking that sin lead to reconciliation and restoration--not just of the prideful sinner, but of the additional sinner the prideful one should have been working to restore. (Gal 6:1)

The chip will be inserted into the military first. Once the military guys are "accepting" of it, it'll start becoming common-place elsewhere (governmental agencies, for example). Don't forget: they tried to insert the Digital Angel into kids down in Florida a few years back, under the guise of...

Actually, you need to re-look at section 1402(g)(1). No, it doesn't specifically identify Muslims, or dhimmitude, or any particular religion. But as the article Lady Eagle quoted points out, it recognizes that certain religions have certain aversions to certain types of health care. In this case...

While I think the whole presentation from the 3 folks (I think it's only 3) who say that taking meds is a sin issue - I would point out that they're focusing on drugs like Zoloft and other anti-depressants, as well as Thorazine and Haldol for things like schizophrenia, and not the physical...

Weren't you the one that used 12Strings post to make a statement that said "the majority of IFB churches"? Frankly, honesty says "one poster does not a majority make." No one trying to make a valid argument would ever take one respondent and say "majority" without ensuring qualification of the...

Um...opening post?

(yeah, I know; but I was making an over-generalization error that Van didn't catch (namely, that all SBC churches have to sign an agreement to a statement of faith in order to be called SBC). What do you think: Is my point made?)

let me make sure I understand this: Based on one IFB church's statement, your made-up number of 80/20, and someone's opinion that 80/20 might be close (with his admission that it's an assumption, because there are no known surveys) - we now come to the conclusion that "the majority of IFB...

Your questions were answered. There was no "artful dodging"; you just can't accept that your questions are too broad in scope, and address a group of people with varying ideas on the subject. You can't neatly package them into one set of beliefs. As such, your questions are about calvinism...

:rolleyes: Try answering Van's questions first; then we can discuss side issues.

The obvious error I see here is the line of reasoning that says the mind is non-physical, that thoughts are the product of the mind and not the brain. I see this as an obvious error because if it were true, then medications would have no effect on thoughts; and yet, medication is used...

Don't derail Van's thread.

Within the last few years, a reputable scientist discovered tissue in a T-Rex bone. She immediately asked other scientists for independent verification. A large number of responses indicated that the scientific community believed she was playing a hoax on them. Most scientists who rejected her...

The problem with your question is your use of "fundamentalist." Classical arminians who consider themselves fundamentalists would agree with you. However, calvinists who consider themselves fundamentalists would disagree. Then there are the Phelps-type fundamentalists; sorry, but I have no idea...

But Woody's active duty military, and therefore is less deserving of an apology or Christian behavior than an atheist who's motive is to make fun of Christians.

Are each of us born into this world as old men of the flesh?
