The president of the United States is the commander in chief of the armed forces, is he not? Did you know that he actually listens to people like Falwell and Robertson, and deeply trusts their Biblical "prophesies"? I can see him now ... his finger is on the button ... he thinks to himself,"Now if I push this button, God meant it to be so. If not, he would stop me from destroying his Creation. He will jam the signals or disable the missiles or strike me with lightening or something. The good Rev. Falwell and Rev. Robertson has been predicting the impending arrival of The Final Battle, and like the Bible says, it's going to be between the great forces of Good and the great forces of Evil. Now we know that the United States is Christian, and therefore, good. It's quite obvious that the Soviets are Evil.

"the commandments"? the question is, chump, "WHOSE COMMANDMENTS"? > I'm not particularly a lover of Farwell, but from what I have > seen he hasn't done Israel any harm, and may have even made > things better. When you take a look at both Falwell's marvelous prophesies, "confirmed" by others, as well as by the Bible, it is quite obvious that he has a good (the Biblical "good", that is) reason to be nice to Isreal, especially in the areas of arms support. > Rosen was low and unfair lumping Farwell with > the Identity Christian movement.

Of course you are wrong, but WE will tolerate it ... WE are Christian ( <- replace with your favorite flavor of religion) and we know the ultimate truth ... > And while we're on the subject of wrong, Rosen should know better > than to try to equate homosexuality and freedom of religion. "wrong"? According to whom? > 1) Homosexuality isn't a religion, it's a sexual preference > some people choose to live. Gee thanks for the info. I've always thought it was a religion.

Listen dum dum ... in case you haven't noticed ... you have just made yourself a royal hypocrite with whip cream and a cherry on top. Of course! Homosexuality is a personal preference! But it's wrong! Heterosexuality is the way of the Lord. It say so in the Bible! Perhaps YOU, my good fellow, would like to explain how you could set up such a double standard without using your Scriptures? It IS religious, isn't it, fool. > Dave van De Kerk > > P.S. > > While you have your scriptures out, try Leviticus 19:18 on for size. > Perhaps Rosen should review Deuteronomy 6:4-5 as well. Perhaps we > all should. May be you WANT us to ... I have read parts of Bible on numerous occasions. However, I don't trust it to tell me what to do with my life. Would you trust a thousand-year-old book of fairy tales? YOU ARE A JERK, DAVE ... A COMPLETE KNEE BITER! ______________________________________________________________________ Live long and prosper, but don't evolve; you will get some people very upset.
