Apparently, God hates Sweden now, along with America, Canada, and "fags"

I had heard of Fred Phelps, but I never knew how much of a devil he was until I read his webpage. Even if he was right, nobody would want to be in a heaven that included the likes of him....he is a publicity hound that uses the name of god to bellow his own self righteous egotistical corruptions of scripture for his own benefit!Jacen and everyone else...please don't associate Christianity with this man or any of his church!

You guys really need to get out more! If I were to say that Crashfrog represents the atheist community, I would be saying something that I had never really examined. While we cannot judge the Christian community publically, we CAN listen to what they have to say publically. For those of you who have hi speed internet computers and can listen to audio, I invite you to compare and contrast Fred Phelps and his blathering rhetoric to three other Christian pastors. If you can honestly tell me that they are in any way alike, I will be forced to examine your argument. Otherwise, you have asserted something entirely baseless.Phelps: Attention Required! | Cloudflare I do NOT endorse him.Three other Christian Pastors whom I would listen to, by the way:http://www.calvarygs.org/radio/2005.htm A man by the name of Raul Ries. Very loving.Listen to Dr. Michael Youssef Sermons - Leading The Way Radio Michael Yousef. A very loving Pastor.Listen to Alistair Begg Sermons - Truth For Life Radio Alister Begg, another good teacher.

OK...you have a point. Christians ARE to be rightly judged by what they hold to as the source of morality, which is the Bible. There is a difference. Translate: It is the absence of a belief in an absolute standard. It is a relativistic belief system. I can only lump all relativists together in that they have internalized their own definition of their own mountaintop. They have defined the standard---themselves!I DO get out and I hear the public voices of a couple of thousand Christians ---which of that thousand, perhaps as few as one hundred actually seem helpful. It is one thing to tell people what to do. It is quite another to live such that they actually mimic you.The standard is not flawed, in my opinion. I can hear a thousand intellectuals free from religion and draw a thousand different conclusions---all of them inconclusive. It is like judging Iraq publically.
(which has been done, by the way) Not every citizen is anti U.S., pro Muslim, pro Saddam, or in any way alike except by living in Iraq.
By contrast, all Christians (by name) do not live "In Christ".This message has been edited by Phatboy, 02-01-2005 04:21 AM

Here is what the Bible says: Based on this scripture, what do we define as "sound doctorine"?Certainly, name it and claim it theology which suggests that sowing seed into the travelling tent huckster will bring YOU a hundredfold return on your investment is not sound. Everyone knows, however, that those who cheerfully give more of themselves than they take will come out ahead one way or another.So...quite seriously, does God hate "fags"?My absolute answer is that God hates sin. Sin, by definition, is anything that we do in and of our own self will that does not glorify God. So is watching football a sin? Ask yourself:
1) Do I neglect my family in favor of football.
2) Do I spend a large portion of my day thinking about football, talking about football, and by example teaching my kids about the importance of this passion? If so, and IF I believe that my purpose in life is to shine as an example to my fellow humans, am I living up to the standard?
Does God hate penthouse? Does God hate Sports Illustrated? Does God hate cellphones?This can go on and on....lets flip it. What does God love?

Well, we are in a Coffee House...can we order beer in here?
Too much coffee makes me tweak!
