No, I had to ask around.

I finally found someone who has heard of them.

go red wings.

((except not this year, lulz.. ))

And who do you sound like? John 8.44.

Jude 9

Peepers and perverts. You mean liberals.

You are the one who wants to monitor and watch people having sex to see if they are doing it in the morally correct manner.

I think that it is their business and not mine or yours.

Not against labor! Sure you are.

Every one should have a safe good paying job if they want one.

In fact, you would have hardworking taxpayers support sluggards.

Maybe you are right, it's far better if they turn to crime and assault to survive.

Don't give people any help, that's the republican way.

Human rights! Just put away the deeds of the flesh.

Yes, like free speech and the right to assemble at church.

Alphabet soup. That's abcdef. Soup. No substance. Empty. Noodles floating in soup.

When you were a child, were you frightened by the statue of liberty? Poor thing.

Maybe it was the words that are written there that scared you,

You know, give us your poor huddled masses, that stuff.

I've caught on to something by reading this thread. Alphabet soup means well and is in fact a somewhat innocent soul because of his naive thought prosseses, however he can cause the same amount of harm as the belligerent liberal alpha females (when I say females I'm including liberal men).

He's drank the Kool-Aid and is now serving it himself. He lacks the core hatred of the left's leadership, but he is dangerous nonetheless because he's actively spreading the liberal diatribes. But there is hope for him.

I grew up in Detroit and a Red Wing fan. The 25 year straight streak of making the playoffs is over. Four Stanley Cups were won during that run so it's not all bad.

I believe that there's hope for all of us.

I'm confident Alphabet Soup will turn out alright, but Peacenik is trying his best to prove you wrong.

He's drank the Kool-Aid...

You do know what this is a reference to, right? It's kind of messed up to toss it around lightly.

Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. The problem is that they don't know how.

Mat 5:6 Blessed (happy) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

You're preaching to the choir, young man.

Freedom, is being able to do want you want, as long as you don't interfere with someones else's rights.

--

I am free to swing my arms around all I want, but if I hit you, then I have interfered with your rights.

If consenting adults go into their house at night, and shut the shades and doors, and do things?, is it anybodies else's business?

ARE THEY INTERFERING WITH ANYBODY ELSE'S RIGHTS ?

--

If they are quietly drinking heavily watching tv and they later go to bed, does that interfere with the rights of the man down the street? Or next door?

If they smoke pot and watch tv and go to bed does that interfere with the rights of the man down the street or anybodies?

If they are gay at night, in the bedroom, what business is that to anyone else? They are not interfering with anyone else's rights.

What if the woman is given money for sex, or the man, Or the man buys her dinner and entertainment with MONEY, what is that to anyone?

What about tobacco? (a powerful MONEY lobby), as bad as heroin? Why.....is IT still legal?????????????????????????(it should not be made illegal in my opinion)

Should swat teams storm a persons house for any of these reasons? BUT THEY DO !!!!!!!!

And take all their possessions, destroy the house, and haul them to prison!

=========

There is a difference between criminal and immoral.

--

Criminal is interfering with someone else's rights.

Immoral is against someone's religion.

--

Criminal, is simply, theft, assault, intentional property damage, etc..

Immoral, is religious intolerance, for minorities, such as prostitution, drugs, gay marriage, alcohol, tobacco, etc., which such things, if done behind closed doors, by consenting adults, in reality, do interfere with anyone else's rights.

(If you can vote to make everyone live by "Christian" morality (RCC? biggest "Christian " voting group), then others can vote in Hindu, or Buddhist, or Islamic morality laws. Kill a cow in India or eat beef and see what happens, people are being killed for this and less.)

--

People have always tried to push their "religion" on other people, I guess it's always been that way.

And pushing the illegal morality issues gets them lots of votes, they say, "I'm a Christian vote for me", and people do.

--

What if they made alcohol illegal again?

The same thing that is happening now with other "illegal immoralities".

The "trade" would go underground and create a gangster underground system fueled by money.

And the gang underground that had the MONEY would fight the authorities trying to enforce "morality" laws.

All the Mexican gang wars and power has been about the drugs, yes, but what gives those gangs their power, is not the drugs, but the fact that the drugs are illegal and there is money to be made.

If a person could go to the pharmacy, and by all the "whatever" drug they wanted, a pound for 5 dollars, who would buy it on the street? And a pound would last them a lifetime, (Probably a very, very short life, 2 days maybe).

If you could buy "meth" at the pharmacy, who would cook it themselves? (A big problem everywhere)

And the police could have a list of everyone who buys it, but it would be legal.

--

I believe that many of these things are wrong, and we teach not to do them, but there is a place where we must let others who have different moralities live their lives, as long as we don't interfere with the rights of others.

And the people who keep to themselves, who are quiet, and don't interfere with the rights of others,
should the swat team break down the doors, haul them off to prison for years, because they exercised the right to pursue happiness in their own house? (gay, pot, prostitution?)

Trying to make people live "morally" (RCC) by law enforcement is against the right to pursue happiness.

--

People have the right to be immoral, and pursue their happiness, as long as it doesn't interfere with the rights of others.

Great post.

If people believe in making legislation that outlaws homosexuality, online porn, drugs, etc... to reflect our biblical teachings, then why stop there? Why not lock people up for committing pre-marital sex, wearing "immodest" clothing, disobeying parents, alcohol, denying Christ as Savior, .... I could go on and on...

I believe God has given us free will and we are commanded by Him to be good stewards of that free will (using it to be obedient). We don't need man to submit us to God's will... the Spirit of God and God's commadnment OUGHT to be enough. God doesn't FORCE everyone to love Him, He commands it though... There is a huge difference. The government is NOT our God. Our personal legislation should come from God/the word of God (the Holy Bible).

Ugh, these freaking threads meant to "teach" the Christians of this site a "lesson".

Yes treat everyone with respect and all that.

Yes homosexuality is still a sin, and Christians should have the right to warn others of what is coming.

Its not rocket science, I am yet to meet a Christian who doesnt know all of this already. And yet we still have "civil rights" heroes who come to teach Christians a lesson.

Billyd,

You're so right. Real joy is only found in Jesus and the Bible, and what a joy it is!

But it is not that we have this joy within ourselves only, we must give and share this joy with others, that is, bear fruit.

How do we share this joy with others? By example, in what we say and post and do.

By being joyful ourselves, so that others will ask, what is the source of the joy within you?

That's when we tell them about Jesus and His Holy Spirit of love.

Oh, the living waters that flow from the throne of God!

Living waters of love, flowing out to the world through the church.

----------

Should those waters turn bitter?

Should we start beating people up, because they ate pork? or beef? or meat? Make it against the law? Fine people?

Shall we start making adulterers wear a giant red letter "A" on their coats?

Fornicators would where a big red letter "F",

And those who engage in Pre Marital Sex could where 3 giant red letters, "P M S", be sure to get out of the way of those people.

Should we as Christians begin to oppress, and not persuade, by preaching the love of Jesus?

---

And which "Christian" groups morality should we enforce by law?

RCC, Greek Orthodox, Lutheran, Episcopal (gay already), Baptist, Mormon, JW's, etc?

Was your mother a female? Your mad now because she made you do what she said? She is your Alpha?

He's drank the Kool-Aid and is now serving it himself.

Jim Jones, Donald Trump.

He lacks the core hatred of the left's leadership, but he is dangerous nonetheless because he's actively spreading the liberal diatribes. But there is hope for him.

It takes two wings for an eagle to fly.

Is that what I'm doing? Cool.

Yes treat everyone with respect and all that.

You would think that the tea party would have learned that by now. But now we have a pres. who makes fun of physically impaired persons. Make fun of the guy who was born with a deformed arm, if the pres. does it, we should too, talk to Donald Trump about respect.

Yes homosexuality is still a sin, and Christians should have the right to warn others of what is coming.

Very much so. It is our duty. But we change peoples hearts by preaching the gospel, not putting them in prison for being immoral.

Its not rocket science,

You mean rocket surgery.

I am yet to meet a Christian who doesnt know all of this already.

I've met quite a few who didn't understand. I'm glad that you and yours know this already.

And yet we still have "civil rights" heroes who come to teach Christians a lesson.

I learn a lot by talking to people, a good teacher is a good learner also.
