Re: OOPS! Try again.
I havent been on for months but I couldn't help but add to this.
Randman you still do what you have always done on here. You argue semantics( The meaning or the interpretation of a word, sentence, or other language form. Definition from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition
Copyright © 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.)
You find one meaning for a word and refuse to conside a world could even ahve adiffernet meaning. Your motto should be "Don't confuse me with facts. My mind is made up."
Lets look at definitions for Theocracy
1. A government ruled by or subject to religious authority.
2. A state so governed.

Re: Wee Wicca, too
Faith please reply to the post that asked about what type of religion should be taught in schools. DO they teach all religions or is their a particular religion you want taught in schools?

Re: Wee Wicca, too
A secularized religious ed class is not the same as a functioning body of believers ministering to one another.
I thought we were talking about education not ministering? Are you going to have a class for every religion so they can all minister to each other? Or do you think only certain religions can have a class, instruction or ministration?

Faith and HangDawg13
I have already asked Faith this, but of course I received no response.
When you say you think we should allow teaching of religious education and allow religion in government run schools, do you have a particular religion in mind or do you think all religions should be allowed access and be taught in schools?

Re: final thoughts
Oh! So your ideal is that schools should be associated with the "true church", and definitely not with apostate churches.
Ok, I'll bite.
What is the "true church"?

Re: Faith and HangDawg13
True, but I do believe Faith has.
Sorry for lumping you together. You are obviously different versions of fundies.
