Couldn't stand it, could you!!?? Just had to poke the bears!?!?

While I don't approve of poking fun at people, I can kinda sorta understand where they are coming from; I feel pretty alien here and disagree with at least half of everything I read. But then I'm a libertarian moderate on a 99.99999% super conservative forum.

99.99% conservative - not quite - we have a good number of liberals here.

More like 50-50, don't you agree?

Well, it depends - on some issues - a person may be conservative , but other issues, he may be more liberal
and then on other issues - who knows!

But over all, I would say 75/25 -- thats just a quick guesstimate

Also depends on who gets to define where the center is. Each extreme tries to pull it in closer to their own position, so as to portray the other end as super extreme.

Wow. Never thought of the BB that way.

 

[church mouse guy]

Maybe the BB is 75% liberal....

I can't hear the term Fundamental without thinking about something John Macarthur said. Though the exact wording leaves my memory, the gist of it was: Most fundamentals are not fun. They Damn everybody, and a lot of them are definitely mental cases.

That's a good one! Never heard it before. Liberals are no fun either. Two examples Russell Moore and Pope Francis.

I was reminded of an incident from several years ago. Janet and I visited Tulsa Bible Church one Wednesday evening because the noted conservative Bible scholar John MacArthur was speaking. He explained that he used to be called a fundamentalist, but he had to change. He found that the term fundamentalist did not accurately describe him or the people with whom he was associated, because others saw fundamentalists as having too little fun, being too quick to damn, and being mentally deficient. So he started calling himself an evangelical instead. [Blog source]

Get it,... fun - damn - mental

Yep. Now he is hunting another term because the evangelical umbrella is too big.

I'm just saying, this forum is like entering another world. A familiar one, as I grew up in a similar environment, but still.

Maybe you are conservative on economic issues but liberal on social issues? Don't worry, so-called cultural Marxism is invading all Christian denominations and combined with federal legislation, it is possible that the USA could outlaw old-time religion. Look for the Dems to take over in 2024 and move towards a dictatorship of one party of cultural Marxism.
