True repentance does NOT require another sacrifice or some kind of silly "penance". Those are both already handled by the Sacrifice of Christ. I will be happy to be subject to the same standard of judgment regarding the Gospel as I apply to Saltmeister. He preaches that the Sacrifice of...

Let's see, what does some book that is beloved by "religious nuts" say about that attitude? "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness." Matthew 23:27

If I am commanded to question authority and then go out and question authority, but what authority have I been commanded to question authority?

How much wallowing in "Pearl Harbor" was there in 1950? Why all the wallowing this time around?

If I can cobble together a system to flap my arms and fly, I will save a lot on airline tickets, too! The more power a state has, the more inevitable will be its descent into a police state. If there is no entity outside a state that can lay out a smackdown, then the state will ultimately...

No more important than the story of any other "good man", in that case, which means not important enough to pay specific attention to more than any other "good man" story. Why the superstition about desperately clinging to any flavor at all of Jesus, so long as it is stripped of "supernatural"...

All this attempt to "naturalize" various elements of the New Testament are simply flat-out stupid. They MISS THE POINT. Attempts to make Christ "acceptable" on the basis of inventing "natural" explanations for everything are not worth making. If He is not God, if He was not born of a virgin...

Barbarian is as barbarian does. Civilized people understand civilized means.

My Scripture (the Bible as accepted by the Orthodox Church, Roman Catholics, and Protestants--with quibbling over a few Old Testament books that don't express any important doctrines) IS dangerous. Here are some extremely dangerous parts: Matthew 5 passim

Because most Muslims and non-Muslims, regardless of what they are taught, consider Islam to be racial.

Indeed, likewise socialists should be beaten up if they speak in public. Feminists should be beaten up if they speak in public. Indeed, EVERYBODY SHOULD BE PROHIBITED FROM EXPRESSING ANY IDEA OR OPINION IN PUBLIC AT A NON-ORGANIZED EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When government starts to dictate what...

Why don't you just pick up a handy Bible, that you keep always out and available, and check, instead of trying to do it all from memory?

Don't post obvious nonsense.

You are not a Christian. Christians accept that there has been ONE atonement for all things. Go re-read the Book of Hebrews and abandon the paganistic legalism that you think is Christian. SO, then, to use your logic, we MUST consider all Muslims to be terrorists--the whole Muslim barrel has...

Fine, I don't expect them to. So, don't expect all Christians to spend their time and energy fighting off the idiocy of a miniscule minority.

I'm not enslaved to the stupid legalism of majority Western Christianity, which indulges in lunatic delusions like the "inherited guilt" interpretation of Original Sin. The sins of other Christians are their own fault and their own responsibility. I need to worry about my own, not about making...

The problem with that woodchuck is that cockatoos can defenestrate, and there is purple chicken to television thyme maroon a shot glass catch seven. This is, of course according to my definition of "woodchuck", "cockatoo", "defenestrate", "purple", "chicken", "television", "thyme", "maroon"...

Please show your physics theories, then, go ahead and show the math. After all, you're a sufficiently skilled physicist to legitimately dismiss Hawkings as "pathetic and weak" and not merely engaging in intellectual masurbation, right?

Quackery, quackery pure and simple. It's the kind of rubbish that sells unlimited amounts of quack nostrums to the ignorant and the stupid.

I'll be kind and presume that you are merely naive and not perversely ignorant. The term "anti-christ" or "antichrist" or "Antichrist" appears in the Bible. It usually means "someone who denies Christ". That is, literally "against Christ". That's it. However, in the New Testament, a "man of...
