Re: Should ID be censored?
What a terrible reply!
No one is saying that religion is bad for our military but rather than de-emphasizing real science will negativly impact our ability to keep up in the everlasting arms race of military technology. The US is a superpower because of its technological and industrial might. Take that away and all we are is one big North American target.
Seriously. Why do these discussions have to decend into nonsense. Be honest and argue the position. I think it is disgusting that you post over all kinds of other threads about Christ and morals and then come in here and display this kind of dishonest childish behavior.

Re: Should ID be censored?
Wow. Love of Christ in action.
This coming from a guy who spends more time on his sigs than his posts.

Re: Should ID be censored?
I am talking about the glib you just offered as some kind of meaninful conversation. paisano had a good point and your response was nothing more than a snide chance to assert your religious position.
If you don't have anything meaningful to add to the discussion then why are you here? Just to be disruptive and take pot shots when you feel like it?

Re: ID
Being that teachers already don't have enough time to teach the other subjects I listed in order to reach the asinine standards set by NCLB which subject would you like to have displaced in order to teach theology?

Re: Should ID be censored?
Bullshit. If you think you would be quicker to jump to defend this nation than I just because you volunteered to go out into the desert and kill dark people under the guise of democracy (or was that WMDs or was that and evil dictator...I forget) then you are sorely mistaken.
You don't even know me so don't pretend to claim you know what keeps me free. You are not automatically more American because you wear fatigues, carry a gun, and have the word "Private" as a prefix.

Re: Should ID be censored?
What are you talking about? That post about the sig was to Tal. He changes is sigs more often then he makes posts more than 1 sentence.
Look maybe I went kinda of postal with that first post but seriously. WHy did you post something like that in response to a legitimate point that paisano was making? HOw did you think that a glib response like that was going to further the discussion or promote thought to your side in any way?

Re: ID
I was baptized in 1997 and have been a follower every day since then. Just because I am calling your out on your BS does not mean I am anti-Christian. I just feel that you sir were being unnecessarily glib while all this time holding this moral high ground.
I often disagree with most of what paisano says but he brings actual discussion to the table. ALl you brought with that post was a disruptive aside.

Re: ID
You certainly made it seem like you thought I was not a follower.
riVeRraT previously writes:
Just like I wish you were saved, out of love.
Look whatever. I didn't mean for all this to turn into a bunch of side topics. All I wanted to do was call you out on what I saw was an unproductive reply not indicative of your previous self imposed moral high ground.
