GOP Hopeful Signed 1998 Statement Backing Idea That Wives Should "Submit Graciously" To Husbands

Who cares about the bible. This country is not based on the bible, but on the US Constitution. The bible says a lot of things. Has nothing to do with electing a presidential candidate that would view wives as second class citizens.

Since unfortuatly you have been blinded to the truth and rejected God, I''ll let you have the last word. We have been here before with various posters, and I see the futility of going on.Just ask yourself though,what if I made the wrong desision? As an ex christian, you know the rest of the story!

Time to read the bible,Moses did not write the commandments(God did) ,keep the Israelites in the desert 40 years(God did),conquer any lands(he never got to enter Canaan), nor did he author judges.Know you''''re facts before you spout off about somthing you apparantly know little of

I have read it. Several times in fact. Was actually a hardcore christian for a good chunk of my life. It doesn''t hold up to historical scrutiny. the old testament, up to the time of Moses was written by Moses and some of the other men of his cult. Since there is no god (the concept of a god, any god, is strictly a man made idea and it appears in many cultures as a way to try to explain things to simple people), it could not have been written by a creature that does not exist. It''s nothing more then a set of rules that Moses used to keep his cult in line and several fairy tales he made up (creation, Noah, etc) to try to explain complex ideas to an illiterate desert tribe. as for not being a conquer, yes it''s true that Joshua did the actual conquering because Moses died, but that doesn''t make him any less of a despotic cult leader. And speaking of which, isn''t it funny that this supposed god gave all of this land to the Jews, but forgot to clear off the rightful owners first? One would think that if there was a God he would have given his followers land that didn''t require them to murder the residents of it.

Oh and Moses was no different then any other ruler. He kept his people isolated in the Sinai for 40 + years (you didn''''t really think they were lost did you?) to build an army of conquest, just like every other despotic ruler before him. He wrote the ten commandments, Genesis, Judges, Numbers, etc. to keep his people in line and make them easier to control, just like every other ruler before him. He''''s no different then any other bloody, murderous conqueror of his time or before or after. He was the Middle-East''''s Ghengis Khan or Attila the Hun.

As for whats taught in schools now is a real joke,ie homosexuality, individualism,eastern religions (but not God),safe ***,evolution(but not creation),ect.We''''re slipping farther and farther away from truth, justice,and commonsense. It all was predicted

Posted by jankebenz at 03:49 PM : Dec 14, 2007

What''s taught in schools these days is respect for individuals and the lives they lead. The schools do not teach homosexuality (you can''t teach it since it''s not a choice), they teach that if a person is Ga*y then they have a right to be respected for who they are. As for Eastern religions, yes the are taught as part of history or philosophy, as is Christianity. They are not taught as fact. Yes creationism is taught in schools, but not as part of science since it has no basis in science at all. Not even a little. It''s taught as a philosophy, as it should be.

I don''''t believe in Santa Claus either, but I suppose that the fact that some children do doesn''''t make him any more real or unreal. Personally if you want to believe in a fairy tale like god or Santa Claus then I have no problem without. Just as long as you don''''t try to force the gospel according to Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer to be taught in public schools or force other people to live according to Santa''''s version of naughty and nice.

Posted by SgtRDS at 03:17 PM : Dec 14, 2007

No, I won''t try to force anything on anyone, so long as the opposite is respected.As for whats taught in schools now is a real joke,ie homosexuality, individualism,eastern religions (but not God),safe ***,evolution(but not creation),ect.We''re slipping farther and farther away from truth, justice,and commonsense.

"The only law that existed before Moses was what the emperor,pharoh, ruler,or king decreed it to be,and that would change as he saw fit to his wants,or what the next ruler wanted."

Baloney! The only law that existed before Moses was what the emperor,pharoh, ruler,or king decreed it to be,and that would change as he saw fit to his wants,or what the next ruler wanted. The ten commandments were for all! to observe forever. Just like you, many have rebelled at these universal laws,and/or God and pay the price.Just look at what a mess society is in.

Posted by jankebenz at 03:24 PM : Dec 14, 2007

Well I can''t enlighten one who refuses to open his eyes to the truth. The plain and simple historical fact is (you do know don''t you that the old testament is not historical fact, right?) is that these laws were very common in the time before Moses. If you don''t like history that''s fine with me though. I mean hey, some people still think the Earth is flat and that the sun and universe revolves around it.
