Haggard Scandal

Oh Man.... I just finished watching Nacho Libre and your little schpeel sounded like a line out that stupid movie!"Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned." (I haven't got a clue)

I am not necessarily a Dobson fan but if you are going to insult a man it should be backed up with some substance, don't you think!

His is not dirty or rotton(sic) just fellow human - with apparently an unexamined issue or two.Whoa you forgot your quote(s) on the last one so allow me...."A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." (Albert Einstein)

They are anti-gay so nothing hypocritical here. They print what they believe in. They raise money, what is the issue. Readers Digest and National Geographic do the same to a different crowd. For nothing better to do during my daily commute I often listen to Moody broadcasting and other similar stations. If nothing else it keeps me sharp trying to identify the instances and inflictions of various logical fallacies However, Dobson seems like the least hypocritical, the least radical and most sensible.To be a hypocrite requires difference between spouted belief and actions. It appears (i remain hesitant to judge not knowing the full details) that the subject person Haggard is a hypocrite.

Actually I have found Christians when pressed resort to situational ethics. For example try to rationalize "Love your Neighbor" and "Turn the Other Check" with supposed godly commands rape, pillage and genocide in the OT.

Whoever said anything about being a pacifist? All your talk about pacifism is a stawman and a diversion.Jesus’ character and message is diametrically opposed to the god described in the old testament. The god of the OT commanded genocide and approved of rape and pillaging.There is a considerable gapping philosophical divide between that and just not "being a pacifist"!Consider Or in reference of repaying the Babylonian's (the enemy) for their evil deeds the godly inspired psalmist sings.... As an aside I actually read some apologetic claim that the rock here was Jesus the rock. OK sure.Now compare that to Jesus’ admonishments of "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you".I understand all your talk about winning over your enemies and such, which has nothing to do with this issue.Edited by iceage, : No reason given.
