Fort Hood Shootings

Mark4838 Throughout the history of the US military and all other militaries, there have been innumerable incidences of an indvidual soldier killing his fellow soldiers. Somehow, you seem to believe that only the very few incidences when a Muslim is involved have significance. And clearly, that kind of comments and conclusions are never helpful. Moreover, to suggest that thouhgtful words is political correstness is to discount the importance and the need for debate and discussion.

Fort Hood Shootings

Donna: I quite agree that culture and the times may influence perspective and thefore, judgement and conclusions. However, if we were to accept the idea that the times determined wrongness or rightness, then obviously nothing is wrong and nothing is right. If I were to follow that line of reasoning, then slavery would have been right, the Holocaust would have right, and the killing of 500,000 Japanese citizens with nuclear bombs would have been right. Moreover,I am treating the issue in the context of this forum and with the assumed knowledge that, at least, most people who make comments are Believers in the Almighty God, the creator of universe.

Fort Hood Shootings

"They lived in barracks (like our troops). There was work for adults, school for children, recreation, food... a stark but not inhumane life." Donna, it is always dangerous and corrupting to justify wrong and evil action. Wrong is never justified by the nationality of the perpetrators. Wrong is worng when it is done by those who claim goodness as well as by those who make any other claim. I am sure that you would not have volunteered yourself and your children to be imprisoned in those camps. That notion is called Fairness and those who claim Godliness should be the most eager and the most ready to practice it.

Can You Afford Obamacare
	Well, the public debt is 12 trillion dollars, but the private debt is more than 50 trillion dollars. That is the debt that ordinary Americans and corporate America owe.

Government Wants Control
	Catherine, would George Bush have been part of the 'curse'?

Government Wants Control

Some people seem to have just woken up to the reality of the power of the US government. The truth is, goevernment does not want control. Government has had control for decades. There is very little about the individual American citizen that the government or some other organization does not know. And this has been the routine practice for decades. I would raise the question to those of you who current live within the USA. Name any two things that you do, as a citizen, that is not being monitored, in some way, by an agency, government or otherwise?

Fort Hood Shootings

The events at Fort Hood are tragic, but violence on American military installations is exactly uncommon. It would seem to me that a more relevant consideration would be: why is it that a country and a people who make lofty claims about themselves would suffer these murderous rampages,so regularly? Perhaps, the fact that a soldier (a trained killer) seems to be America's principal hero and that guns seem to occupy a place equal to that of the Bible may offer some explanation.

Obama Gives Muslims Power
	Those who claim no faith in God have faith in other things or in other persons. The only difference between the Believer and those who do not profess belief in God is the object of their faith. The Atheist believes as strongly as any other person. The capacity to exercise faith is a quality of being human. And it is therefore incorrect to assert that the exercise of faith is devoid of thought.

Obama Gives Muslims Power
	You will all have to forgive me, but I find it extremely difficulty to reconcile the comments of some professed christians with their vaunted claims of belief in The God who created the universe. The amount of fear, innuendo, gossip and falsehoods that are presented on this forum as rational thought is far more consistent with faithlessness than with Faith. This is extraordinary!

Is Obama A Traitor
	Gordon, I am sure that you are an example of a good American and therefore, a wonderful example of a good christian.

Worst American President
	I have read the blogs on this silly topic and it seems unreasonable and premature to decide the issue for a President who has served less than a year of a presidency that may lasts for eight years. Probably more importantly however, is the coarse and unsound tone of most of the blogs. I am beginning to wonder how different would the blogs written by non-professing christians be.

USA Founded As Christian Nation
	Donna I have no interest listing America's "atrocities", they are very well known. The points is this, those who claim the lofty name of God, individuals or nations, ought to exemplary in speech as well as in conduct. As a Believer, I cannot claim the great Principles of the Bible and then live as or worse than those who make no such claim. It is dishonest! It is ungodly!

Martial Law Within Three Years

I am not trying to cause offence, but some of the ideas expressed on this medium seem to be expressed merely for their effects on readers rather than for their degree of accuracy or reality. Professed christians must believe that their god is All Knowing and All Mighty and therefore, no force or combination of forces can defeat or even, seriously, threathen the power of God. If USA is being destroyed, it is being destroyed by Americans within America. And the fact is, Americans have been doing just that for decades.

USA Founded As Christian Nation
	Revisionistic historians seem eager to claim of America's christian origins, but it would enlightening if anyone could show or point to any period during which the nation, to any significant degree, practiced what is being claimed in the 21st century.

Is Islam Non-Biblical

Warwick: Part #1 You may very well be right that I "need to take a grip on reality." However, if killing is immoral and wrong for the Muslims, it ought to be similarly wrong for the christians. Here is a simple idea, in the last fifty years, who do you think have killed more civilians, the terrorists or the countries of the West, including America? To help you in the right direction, here is a fact: IN ONE YEAR, more Americans are killed, in America, by Americans than by all the terrorists in the world in THIRTY YEARS! Now, is that not something!

Is Islam Non-Biblical

It does not seem that the statement was meant to generate insightful and constructive comments. The truth is although many unchristian christians may be inclined to believe that Muslims are against christianity, it is the christians who have consistently wage murderous war against the Muslim people. Additionally, since some people seem to believe that the Muslims are ungodly because they do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah, would Judaism and the Jews be similarly categorized since they too do not accept Jesus as the Messiah?

Senator Ted Kennedy Died
	Sometimes, it seems those who make the loudest pious noises, are also those who spew the most hateful verbiage. Please, it is always needful to be respectful, kind and compassionate!

I Am Angry All The Time

Consistent anger, whatever the cause, is being less than our best, especially for the Believer. And although, everyone gets angry from time to time, part of the Believer's Divine endowment are peace and sound mind. Moreover, we have the added promise that whatever happens is used for our good. In essence, the Believer is preserved from all evil. That includes those things that could cause us to become angry. Isaiah 54:10, Romans 8:28, Psalms 121:7-8 and 2 Timothy 1:7
