quote: Fundamentalist Christians like war in the middle east: http://www.natcath.com/...Online/archives/101102/101102a.htm ?The feeling among evangelicals is that any effort to create peace in the Middle East is ultimately a trick,? Besser said. ?If you pick up any of Hal Lindsay?s books or Pat Robertson?s books, it?s all laid out there in quite a lot of detail by many of these popular evangelical authors. The demands of these prophecies are very much in the minds of many of these evangelicals who are so vocal in their support of Israel right now.?
quote: Unless I'm mistaken, Bush had already squandered the budget surplus at that point. You cannot possible blame all of our economic woes upon 9/11.
quote: You do know that Bush was giving monetary aid to the Taliban just before 9/11, don't you? The same Taliban that was arguably the most cruel and oppressive Islamic regimes in the world, and had been for a number of years? I am glad we went after Ossama bin Laden, but I can't help but notice that we haven't caught him yet. Perhaps you would also like to explain to me what kind of clear and compelling evidence we have that Saddam Hussein had anything at all to do with 9/11.
quote: This is the Free For All, baby. No moderation at all. Don't expect Percy to tell anybody anything here. For instance, you are not going to be prompted by the Admin to provide evidence for your claims in this foum. Isn't that why you decided to post here, so you wouldn't have to bother with evidence? I'm not lying, though.

Buzsaw, this
quote:is in error. The very early christians were waiting for the immediate end of the earth shortly after the Nazereen was executed. In fact, many historians have come to the conclusions that many early christians thought that Nero was the anti-christ. During the middle ages the same belief in an "end of the earth, and imminent rapture" was De rigueur for many apocalyptic christian groups. ------------------"Chance favors the prepared mind." L.

quote:You are aware that 1) Stalin was a seminary student prior to the revolution, 2) that it was not just christians but many other religious groups which the communists butchered as well; in fact, the attitudes of the political elite in Russia against non-Russians in different Soviets of the USSR is well documented, and non-christians (i.e. budists, tarks, moslems and jews) from non-Russian soviets bore a disproportionate brunt of the deaths and "political re-education". ------------------"Chance favors the prepared mind."

quote: What he was saying here, is that the generation which sees these things (like Israel back in control of Jerusalem and end of Gentile times) shall not pass (pass away) till all is fulfilled. I'm interpreting this in view of other things he and the prophets said. You can make scripture appear to say just about anything you want it to say by isolating statements like this.

quote: Yes I am aware of that. So how does that diminish his athiesm after rejection of Christ and Christianity? How does that diminish is ruthless murderous mindset as a dedicated athiestic communist?In retrospect it appears he made a mistake by converting out of Christianity and the world would've been a better safer place had he stuck to Christianity, aye? quote: Did you miss this statement in my post??"A large percentage of the victims of these were Christians"
