Omnivorous, at "The Three Minute SOAPBOX:"

Forum: Coffee House
Thread: The Three Minute SOAPBOX:
Post #: 3
The last paragraph:
Omnivorous writes:
Why are so many environmentalists and lovers of all creatures secularists? Where are the voices of the faithful? Why is there no chorus rising from the churches to stop the destruction of this gorgeous world?
This is in a "please, no reply to messages" themed topic, so don't debate the matter either there or in this POTM topic.
But I would love to see that message in a "to be dabated" place.

Re: minnemooseus on public schools and religious subjects - Thanks, but...
Thanks for giving me my first POTM nomination, but I'm afraid that message 140 was a blotched effort (is this what they call "irony"?).
See my message 159 at that topic, as well as Ben's preceeding message 158, and the Holmes message Ben there cites.
Maybe you can edit that "140" into a "142"?
Moose
Added by edit - Not really POTM material, but Holmes has done an important restating/clarification of his intents for and perspectives of the topic at message 168.
Added by second edit: Please see next message. It seems to have turned out that my POTM nominated message may have been more on target than I realized.

Holmes at "Randman's call for nonSecular education..."
Name: Holmes
Forum: Coffee House
Thread: Randman's call for nonSecular education...
Post #: 168
OK - Despite what I just added by edit in my previous message, I'm going to give Holmes a POTM nomination.
Not really POTM material (or is it?), but Holmes has done an important restating/clarification of his intents for and perspectives of the topic.
Moose
Added by edit:
Ben thought I was misunderstanding Holmes' intent for the topic. But my understanding of the topic's intent was the same as Ben's. But Ben's understanding of the topic's intent was wrong, and therefore Ben's appraisal of my understanding of the topic's intent was right.

Mike the Wiz, at the "The Clergy Project" topic
Name: Mike the Wiz
Forum: In The News
Thread: The Clergy Project
Post #: 30
Includes:
I'm happy to say at least, that a literal interpretation of scripture that specifically excludes evolutionary science, is infact something which cannot be supported by any reasonable person, IMHO. Such an exclusive ideology on what God says, is heavily biased, and infact no man can claim to understand scripture this thoroughly, IMHO.
God would be asking us to observe something in nature, which appears to happen, according to the evidence, as false. He would be asking me to dismiss the causality of honest atheists/theists etc, which led them to such brilliantly clever findings.
I support the previous nomination of a Faith message. The (IMO misplaced/off-topic) Mike the Wiz message functions as commentary on Faith's position, and I suggested to Mike that it would be better in Faith's topic.
Perhaps Mike should offer up a variation of his message, as a new "Proposed New Topic".
Regardless, the cited content should not be debated in the POTM forum.
Moose
