I never did understand...
How all those Christians in the USA could claim to love and worship Jesus while allowing their gov't to kill, plunder and destroy God's green Earth and all of its inhabitants...
anyone?

Don't ask me about the specific bits of the Bible cuz I don't know what chapter and verse and all that, but first of all somewhere in there (apparently) there's some bit about how God gave man all of the beasts and plants and resources and whatever and made him dominant over them all to use as he sees fit or whatever and blah blah blah. Like I siad, I don't know exactly what the Bible says word for word about it but essentially the way that this has been interpreted by some is that "Hey, if it's here, God put it here for us to use so by golly let's use it." Secondly, these sorts of folks don't see any reason to be concerned about protecting or conserving because the other thing that happens then eventually is that Judgement Day comes, the Earth is destroyed along with all the 'bad' non-Bibleish people, and the righteoud folk all go on up to heaven to sit on clouds an play harps for all eternity, or something. So essentially, there's no point in being all ecological minded and whatnot - it's all going to burn when Jesus comes back for his happy smiley people. So - to sum up: God put all this stuff here for us to use however we want, and then Jesus is going to come and whatever's left is all gonna get destroyed anyway, so no point in 'saving' it - saving is apparently for souls, not for woodlands or turtle species or rainforests or any of those other things that don't love Jesus. Capisce? |

To be hypocritical, they would have to be saying one thing, and doing another. And the fact is, they aren't saying "Oh this land is really precious that God gave us, let's protect it" and then doing the opposite. They are saying, "It's ours, God gave it to us to do whatever we want with it" and then doing just that. So, not hypocrisy - just good old-fashioned pig-headed arrrogance. |

Hmmm, so who did the Bible belt vote for? Oh that's right...
And the rest of the people who didn't vote, are responsible through inaction.

Furthermore, keep in mind that the United States is not merely a Christian nation. It is no longer even an exclusively Judeo-Christian nation. It is rapidly becoming a Muslim-Judeo-Christian nation. The responsibility for the United States having an elected government that is willing to go to war falls on so many more shoulders, and spreads so far beyond organized religion, that to single out any one group does not make any sense. As 100% Ill stated, "The same flawed argument could be used to single out and demonize any number of religious/poilitical sects throughout the world." The whole notion is as inherently flawed as the methods developed for identifying witches hundreds of years ago.

Re: I never did understand...
[quote=SobaViolence]sorry to generalize, but it seems that Americans are Jesus' #1 fans, that's all.
why did i even come into this thread? any ways here goes....what part of Earth are you from?? obviously not America i would guess france. anyway has your country been terrorized? do we not have the right to fight back? i'm not a Jesus fan and i'm an American and yes i voted for Bush, i believe in why this war was started, and i believe the Iraqi's will thank all the allies when it's all done. btw isn't there a thread to post about Jesus? i don't know why i even opened this thread, but had to respond because i love my country. |

Rephrase that to "Do we not have the right to start an illegal war against a country that has done nothing to us at all?" and you will be closer to the mark. And the answer to that is "No" by the way. International law (to which the US subscribes, and is obliged to follow by its OWN GODDAMN CONSTITUTION, READ IT SOMETIME DUMBASS) expressly forbids it. Don't like it? Change your goddamn constitution and stop pretending your foreign policy is anything other than imperialist expansionist wars for oil. Quote:

Re: I never did understand...
and yes Canada has been terrorized. in the '70s.
just because you guys lost 3,000 people in ONE attack, doesn't give you the right to determine that now terrorism is a huge problem. there's been these problems for at least 100 years, but guess what it hasn't happened to america, so you live in bliss. Your self-righteous assholes got a fucking appetizer of the misery some of the rest of the world lives with. We have been relatively blessed in North America, so shut your air hole. no one asked you to meddle in anyone else's business, so back the fuck up with your high-handed preaching and go drive in your SUV to get some McD's.

Re: I never did understand...
I think this generalization is rooted in the fact that "morals" were the deciding factors in this past election. And that GWB has put an extreme emphasis on this, being a born again and all, so that is probably why it would be safe to say .. Christians don't like no towl heads...
WHITE POWER. Not only that, but last I checked this is the president 99.9% of God fearing christians voted for.

http://www.historywiz.com/primarysou...indarkness.htm "There is the case of the Philippines. I have tried hard, and yet I cannot for the life of me comprehend how we got into that mess.... I thought we should act as their protector -- not try to get them under our heel. We were to relieve them from Spanish tyranny to enable them to set up a government of their own, and we were to stand by and see that it got a fair trial. It was not to be a government according to our ideas, but a government that represented the feeling of the majority of the Filipinos, a government according to Filipino ideas. That would have been a worthy mission for the United States. But now -- why, we have got into a mess, a quagmire from which each fresh step renders the difficulty of extrication immensely greater." - Mark Twain, Interview, Oct. 15, 1900 Sound familar? Anyone? Buhler?
