Quote by: twoanickel In other words, if the Bible addresses issues that are effecting society you would rather be ignorant of what the Bible says and not know it? |
Dude, are you feeling persecuted, or what? Obviously that is a blind jab meant to illicit a negative kneejerk reaction. How do I know? It's a huge aaumption on your part.

Quote by: twoanickel I find that very interesting because there is no shortage of those on this thread that take delight in attacking the Bible, and from what you just said, they would be happier if they could just attack it without knowing what it says about issues. You know what? That doesn't surprise me. That is also my own estimate of most of them. At least we agree on one thing. |
Perhaps it is beause the bible has no real place in this discussion, since we originally talking about government policies. Again, I think you are asking to be persecuted for your Christian views, only because you keep bringing it up in the wrong discussions.

Quote by: twoanickel And in what way has anyone on this forum deprived you of your free will? Do you mean that eating off another man's pocketbook is a matter of free will? |
My contention was that the government prevents me from giving to the charity of my choice by donating all my monies where they see fit. ( Like both sides of the Isreal, Palestine conflict. )
My point was that the U.S. government was never empowered to donate my monies anywhere in the name of charity. That is what we were attemting to discuss here.
