Yes, I heard that "Fresh Air" broadcast today.
i can't believe coral ridge is part of this crap.
If you ever listened to a D. James Kennedy broadcast, then this would be no surprise at all.

Re: Hopefully not too far off Topic
I have not seen or heard the exposition that caused the starting point of this thread, ..
The link that brennakimi included in the OP has a button to allow you to listen to the program on your computer (requires an audio card).
The number of scholarly articles connecting fundamentalism to racial prejudice ...
The predudice du jour is against homosexuals.

Re: Faith's lack of hatred
I would not characterize Faith's posting behavior as "hate". I think it better fits "mob psychology", where in this case the fundamentalists constitute the mob.

Re: Leaving hatred aside...
This is about the destruction of civilization ultimately.
The ultimate destruction of civilization is more likely to be a consequence of overpopulation than of underpopulation.

Re: Leaving hatred aside...
Children need both sexes for parents.
Tell that to our Government. It is sending parents off to military duty in Iraq.
Would you propose that those in the military be forbidden to marry? Would you propose that married people not be recruits?
The arguments you have been using in this thread come across as irrational.

Re: Leaving hatred aside...
The context was your statement:
Children need both sexes for parents.
In that context, I raised a question about the military:
Would you propose that those in the military be forbidden to marry? Would you propose that married people not be recruits?
I would propose that women not be in the military in any combat arenas at all, and that they not be in the military at all if they have children.
You completely evaded the issue.

Re: Christian Nationalism
Christianity means putting Christ first, Nationalism means putting ones nation first, how can one do both?
Your mistake is to assume that language is logical
The important thing here is the belief ("ism") in a Christian nation. The "ism" part really applies to the two words, not just to the word "nation".
Christianity is supposed to be about God, and loyalty to Him.
Statecraft is about getting a country to run.
The two are mutually exclusive, and deform each other two the point that anyone advocating either one,is unlikely to be impressed at the results.
Sure. But the Christian nationalists don't happen to agree.
