Radical cleric James Dobson I stopped reading here. 'Now isn't it amazing. I tell you that nobody made a simple toy like that (solar system model) and you don't believe me. Yet you gaze out into the solar System - the intricate marvelous machine that is around you - and you dare say to me that no one made that. I don't believe it'. -Sir Isaac Newton

It doesn't say he is a radical. It says he is a radical cleric, which implies he is no different from radical muslim clerics which we kill, deport, and jail on a regular basis.
I'm simply pointing out the adjective as BS. "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill

When he starts bombing innocent people, I'll call him radical.
Until then, he has free speach, just like everyone else.
I am not sure how many of the insurgents in Iraq are radical muslim clerics You aren't sure? Then do some research.
Muqtada al-Sadr - Wikipedia "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

The description is NOT BS, Tal. He is a radical cleric. He spouts anti-homosexual hate-speach. No, hate speach would be, "Let's kill homosexuals." Homosexuality is morally wrong. That isn't hate speach. That's called an opinion.
We "deport and kill" radical muslim clerics who foment and perpetrate acts of terrorism. Not because they are radical clerics with hateful ideas, but becuase they commit crimes. Yep, and when Dobsin starts fomenting and perpertrating crimes, I'll be the first to say he's radical. "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

I don't think Sadr can be classified at this time as an insurgent. He is working somewhat without the iraqi gov't. He had led insurgents in the past.
The only way defeat an insurgency is to give show the insurgents that they have a better opportunity through the political system than by insurgency. But I'm sure you knew that. Radical Clerics are not confined to Iraq. The US, Britain, and other countries have deported or jailed these people for their REAL hate speach such as, "Kill all non-believers whever you find them..." Allow me a question. What makes Dobsin a radical? What is his view on homosexuality? What is his solution to the percieved problem of homosexuality?

Well, I would disagree, both about the morality of homosexuality and the definition of hate speach. When you tell homosexuals that they are evil and are going to Hell for having a sexual lifestyle you don't like, that sounds like hate speach to me. See, you aren't listening. We tell EVERYONE that they are evil and are going to Hell because they are born into sin. Homosexuality is simply another sin. Then we say that Christ died to cover ALL of our sins. Everyone can be forgiven. That is the message.
"My next reaction was that I'd just go blow my brains out. But I knew that there would be people hurt. So then I thought, Well I'll just go blow his brains out, so he doesn't have to be homosexual.' But I knew that would hurt all of us, too. So, I'll just go blow that guy's brain out that got [Tim] into the homosexual lifestyle. That'd solve it all.' Well, then I'd go to prison. So I couldn't do any of those things. That's when I decided that since I was part of the problem, I had to be part of the repair." (p. 19) It's not that far of a jump. Like I said - Dobson hasn't quite crossed the like like Phelps has - but their ideals are the same. His ideals are what makes him a radical cleric, Tal. Committing crimes based on those ideals would make him a criminal. Mr Hysom is an idiot. Where has Mr. Dobson ever said, anywhere, to kill homosexuals for any reason? You know what, forget it. I'll start a thread on this subject. "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

Come on. Jar knows Al Sadr is a cleric. What was the point of the post? He was simply being difficult IMO.

Yes and no, Tal. I don't believe homosexuality is immoral, and there are scores of Christians who agree with me. There is no 11th Commandment that says "Thou shalt not have teh buttsex!" 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV): "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters, nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God Notice homosexuality is not the only offense in there.
Leviticus 18:22 (KJV): "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind it is abomination."
Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: It's one thing to say "murder is evil" or "theft is evil." It's another to say "having sex is evil if it involves someone of the same gender even if it's not rape." If one believes the bible it is the same thing.
didn't say he did. He wouldn't anyway - he'd lose the majority of his listeners and political stength.But he IS fomenting the ideas that lead to that line of thinking. What ideas are those? Give me a source please.
It's like the radical muslim clerics who call the US "the great Satan" and say that we are all heathen dogs. You don't have to specifically tell someone to commit murder to foment hate speach.
Anyone can say they hate the US. That isn't hate speach. Anyone can say we are all heathen dogs. That isn't hate speach. If you say, "I want to violenly overthrow the US government, kill its troops or its citizens," then that is hate speach and sedition. Sedition is a Felony.

You're thinking of "terrorists", not clerics. Anyway I never said he was a muslim. "Cleric" means religious figure, which he very much is.
No, I mean Clerics.
Britain bars/expels a few France Expels a few Few face treason charges in Britain Here is an excellent story that really fits the topic.
Muslim Clerics disrupt same sex wedding Zanzibar, May. 13 (CWNews.com) - Angry radical Muslim clerics in Zanzibar forcibly halted a ceremony in which two homosexual lovers were planning to exchange marriage vows. Upon hearing about the plans, Islamic leaders burst in on the ceremony, assaulting the couple, local sources report. Police arrested the couple, as well as several of the Muslim clerics, pending an investigation of the incident. Last year the parliament of Zanzibar-- a semi-autonomous island province of Tanzania, located in the Indian Ocean-- passed legislation that bans same-sex relationships, with offenders subject to prison terms of up to 25 years. The bill was passed in part to ease pressure from the Muslim leaders of the province
Interesting.
One arrested in Indonesia US tosses one in prison for sedition So on and so forth. What you have to understand is that the Clerics are the teachers and instigators of the terrorists acts. The boys and girls they send as triggermen are just that, triggermen. They are brainwasheed by these extremists. These Clerics say, "Hey, you know what would be fun? Go blow yourself up to kill some infadels and get some virgins, I'm going for a cheeseburger at Arbys." They send out these kids to do there dirty work (blowing other kids and civillians up), when they don't have the courage to face our military. These extremists Clerics (notice extremists, which only accounts for about 10% of the Islamic religion which is only 100,000,000 people) are the problem.

What the fuck is your problem, Tal? Do you not believe that Roy Moore really wrote those words? Take a phrase out of the quote provided in that column and google it. You'll see that Moore really did write it. No, I just want a reliable source. If I claim something, the onus is always on me to provide a reliable source and you will hold my feet to the fire to provide it. The onus is not on me to google what you claim.

well, tal, like you said in the other thread -- we're ALL sinners according to the law. i could list sins that i'm sure nearly 100% of christians would commit all of on a regular basis, with no intention of stopping or reforming. paul (whom i'm not sure i agree with) argues that we gentile christians are not held to the same laws and covenants as the jews are. they are defined by their covenant, we are defined by our covenant. their covenant (circumcision) comes with laws. our covenant (jesus) comes with faith. Fully agree with you! However, Corinthians 6:9,10 still says no homosexuality. Corinthians isn't apart of the old covenant, it is a letter directed towards christians. "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

The fact that he advocates substantial - aka "radical" - change to the fundamentals and principles our society and government is founded on. He advocates political views that are non-traditional, non-Constitutional, and that have no basis in any existing American principles. You can advocate anything you want in our scociety based on your religious principles. It is called freedom of speach. Conservative political views ARE the traditional, constitutional views that has existed in America since the 1700s. You and the other left wingers are in the minority non-traditional ideas.
Remember how you stopped reading before the end of the first sentence? Had you continued you would have seen that I posted his (well, not his, but that of an expert he quoted) exact advice on how to keep your kid from being gay. So, to sum up - his solution to the problem of your son growing up gay is to make sure that he sees your naked penis in the shower.
So how does Dobsin's idea that a man's son seeing his penis eqivocate to an Islam Cleric telling children to go blow people up? "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

I don remember anyone equating the two. That doesnt mean Dobson isn't a radical cleric. Does Dobson hold radical beliefs? Very much so.Is he a cleric? Seems to be. Therefore radical cleric. Is he on par with some radical islamic clerics? No, not even close. But it can not be denied he is a radical cleric. His beliefs aren't radical. They are traditional conservative values. He believes in changing social issues via influence and ideas through his represtatives in Congress. That's the way it is done in America, except with the case of abortion, which was legislated from the Supreme Court. Now you have judges telling law makers what laws they have to make on homosexuality! Liberal ideas are the minority and are radical.
One problem you have Tal is you see everything in black and white. No shades of grey, no nuances. There are different levels to lots of things.
You are 100% accurate here. I do see most things in black and white, right and wrong if those things are spelled out in the bible. If it is black and white in the bible, so am I. If it is a grey area not specifically mentioned in the bible, I am flexible. Dobsin, or any muslic cleric, has the right to voice their opinion on social issues in this country. Just because lefties think he is a radical cleric doesn't make him so, and using that phrase IS an attempt to correlate fundamentalist christians with extremist muslims. "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
