There have been millions of peaceful Christians throughout the centuries. The thing that causes violence such as the Crusades is people who condemn an entire group of people based on their religion.
Never said there weren't peaceful Christians. But you can't deny that that the Crusades were not meant to cleanse the holy land of unbelievers or other such rubbish.
Wars started by Christians.

I eat whole foods, like whole wheat, whole fruits and veggies, nuts, beans, 100 percent juice, especially pineapple juice, which is loaded with calcium which is EXTREMELY important for good health. I don't drink much milk anymore since the pineapple juice seems to have enough calcium in it.
GOD has provided what we need to stay healthy, we just have to consume the right foods.
It's a lot cheaper than paying for a dentist and a doctor bill and insurance. I don't need any of that.
I eat unhealthy foods too, just not too much.
This thread has turned into a "whatever goes" thread.
Someone needs to start a new thread.

Yes, the Crusades were meant to cleanse the holy land of people who believed differently than they did. They thought to themselves, "If only this other group of people didn't exist, then everything would be better."
Recognize that?

Sure do. Christian rhetoric. What's your point?
And I have NEVER advocated the removal (i.e. killing/purging/etcetera) of any religious group, of any kind. All I want is to have a government that is not run by fundamentalists, of any stripe, who will get us involved in long, drawn out wars over ideology. That's all I meant. I'd feel the same way if our government were run by Pagan fundamentalists.

Are you saying that Barack Obama is not a lifelong devout Christian?
No, I'm not familiar. Do you have the editorial in question?
Why would an Israel Today report about a WorldNutDaily allegation that his church published an editorial by Hamas tell me anything about Obama's religious views?

My point was that it sounds like you.
Fine, you're not calling for their deaths. I guess in your mind that makes you so much better.

More on Sarah Palin:
"WIthin hours, the McCain campaign was under siege, as the vetting process the professionals didn't do was done by thousands of bloggers and citizen journalists. Palin's reality show family life, her vendetta against her ex brother-in-law, her endorsement of a mayoral candidate who ran against her own mother-in-law, her attempt to ban books in her local library, her friendship with one of her husband's former business partners, and on and on: this was the first major campaign event that was covered by the underground media before it reached the mainstream. The American mainstream press spent a large part of last week wondering how much truth the public could bear to hear."

"It works if you work it".
This was the phrase I got used to that is equivalent to the notion of God taking care of their own. It's a loaded phrase. What it translates into is that people who find good fortune in their life must be working it (pleasing God) and those that don't are obviously not working it (displeasing God). Funny thing is that both group of people could be doing the exact same thing.
The phrase or concept alone is innocuous but the mentality that develops behind it, as often it does behind any aphorism, as a failure to critically examine.
Anyway, FFH answered. He eats healthy foods. I guess the Mormon's at Huan's Hill didn't eat whole grains so that's why they were slaughtered.
Some individual's might consider it to be unfair of me to raise such a question. I think it's fair especially if an individual with such a philosophy may find themselves in a position to be the President.
If God takes care of his own, as in allowing some people never to get sick, then why do so many of God's own die horribly and live tragically. Obviously, I expect that most theists do not believe in God taking care of his own in that manner. But many do and FFH is one of them. Getting a reasonable response more than a self-centered view of one's superior diet is not to be expected.

Another major gaffe on the part of Sarah Palin:
>Gov. Sarah Palin made her first potentially major gaffe during her time on the national scene while discussing the developments of the perilous housing market this past weekend.
Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers." The companies, as McClatchy reported, "aren't taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may result in a taxpayer bailout during reorganization."<

Like the article, I'd call this her "first" rather than "another" major gaffe.
I have a sneaking suspicion that, even with all of the prepping and cramming that she is currently going through with her handlers, she is about to take a long walk off a short pier, in terms of interviews and debates.
This isn't going to be pretty ...

Hey - while you're out there, get me a large Diet Coke and a box of Raisinettes, will you?
Just watching the trailer is making the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I can hardly wait for the movie to begin!!

I think there's some confusion here. I am not sure where you misunderstood my reasoning at, but I never, NEVER said anyone needed to die.
My only point was that a government should not be run on religious values, Christian, Pagan, or otherwise. I don't know why that's so hard for you to grasp.
Hee hee.
I don't think the press is harder on her just because she's a woman, but because Palin just doesn't stand to scrutiny with her record as a governor.
I mean, we didn't have the same rhetoric out with criticisms against Hillary or Condi Rice, so I'm just curious why the worry about being too harsh with Palin - who's a tough-talking moose-killer for pity's sake? :trampo:
