"It's our god against their god." Washington Journal caller
response to a question about whether to negotiate with Iran.

She also stated that god gives us the leader needed for the times and that America needs to get on god's side.

Get the impression that his person believes that all Americans are christians? She certainly is a concrete thinker.

1. "God gives us the leader
needed for the times?" WOW! God must have been having a bad day when he chose the current one...or either he did it for a good laugh!

These people are certifiably insane!

20. "God Must Have Been Having A Bad Day"
Or maybe God knew exactly what he was doing.

Why they always think 'God' is on their side is beyond me. Guess that is just part of the pathology . .

30. Apparently God thought
that American had become too rich and powerful and sent us George Bush so that we might be humbled before the nations of the world.

37. This may actually be true.

> "God gives us the leader needed for the times"

This may actually be true.

America may, in Dog's eyes, have needed to be "taken down a
peg or ten" so as to be rid us of some hubris about being a
"kinder, gentler" super power, an empire with rights to stand
astride the planet even if it kills everyone else on the
planet, etc.

So Dog gave us President Bush.

40. Allahu akbar.
Sounds rather strange to use it when fighting Xians and Jews, if they have the same god, doesn't it?

Rather like having Xians go on a pogrom against Jews or a crusade against Muslims saying "Our God is great!" Some theologians may say they're the same, but the presupposition inherent in the cry is that they are completely different.

46. Which force of energy are you talking about?
I believe Newton said that energy can never be destroyed, merely change form. What we have seen in the past are the many manifestations of God CONCEPTS. Right now, what we have is another change in this concept taking place.

52. a couple points
Please don't take this the wrong way, since I generally appreciate your posts, but Mr. Science has to step in to make a couple points:

1. You're quoting the law of conservation of energy, which is not one of Newton's three laws. He certainly wasn't ignorant of it, but the concept was still in development during his time.

2. More importantly, the energy that is "neither created nor destroyed" has a particular definition. It's "the capacity to do work." A practical application of the law is that, when a precise amount of wood is burned, the energy contained in the chemical structure of the wood is released as heat. You can calculate the amount of heat using the law of conservation of energy. The scientific law of conservation of energy doesn't apply to other concepts that people may choose to label "energy," like God concepts.

That's all!

13. Depeche Mode tackles Christofreaks in "John the Revelator"...
Edited on Wed Aug-23-06 07:01 AM by marmar
a song off their last CD "Playing the Angel":

John the Revelator
Put him in a elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies

John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis

By claiming God as his only rock
He's stealing a god from the Israelite
Stealing a god from a Muslim, too
There is only one god through and through
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame

If that is coming from a fundie, I would like them to expound on that a little more. I thought they Christan teachings were that there was only one God. Now there are separate gods?

Man oh man...where is the compassion that Jesus preached about, that Budha preached about, that Muhamhed preached about? Where is it? Where did it all go?

Sick sick sick twisted religion.

I'm beginning to believe Matthew Fox when he says, "Religion is not necessary. Spirituality is."

27. It's right here among these heathens...
What does it matter if a person is a muslim, jew, hindu, buddhist or christian in this community? What does it matter if members of this community don't believe in God at all? Here, the value of a person is gauged by what comes out of a persons mind and spirit. Here, there are dirty handed angels with enough compassion for the whole world. If it can happen here, it can happen everywhere.

Maybe God is actually one of those evil sci-fi-type gods
that likes to see pain and suffering, in fact, thrives on
it and so sets up their creation to maximize that?
