I'll keep it very simple and disregard everything else; warrant-less wire tapping, indefinite detention without due process just for starters.

What is this tirade about? And what does the bible have to do with anything, or how is that even relevant to the thread? If by "Ideology" (I doubt you even know what that word means) you're accusing...

They were anti-government of "this" present government, since this present government fits the bill of everything they detested and warned about in government. I find the irony of all the atrocities...

I think it's safe to say that under the present circumstances (reasons we could right a book about and could probably go as far back as the early 20th century with the establishment of the central...

Rofl! I have to say, I really underestimated your political loyalty, JimL. Do yourself a favor; google the phrase " founding fathers government," and go through their quotes one by one. It's one...

I wonder how this correlates with the belief that there's a conspiratorial liberal bent in the MSM?

More than likely it's because the entire system is corrupt, thus the Reps are just as corrupt. A few representatives speak out every so often, but their voices are too few to change anything or the...

Nothing will happen to Obama. As far as Benghazi, Hillary is positioned to take the fall if it comes to that, which I doubt it will. And it's not because of partisan protection; it's a reflection of...

But it isn't either or. The term "hyper-literalism" to me is interpreting everything as literal. But it isn't all literalism OR all symbolism. Not even preterists interpret everything as non-literal...

To imply that there is only a choice between hyper-literalism and non-literalism is a false dichotomy. That would be about as disingenuous as me saying there's only a choice between futurism and...

The issues you bring up are actually non-issues and not that weighty in support of your argument, except one. Ten commandments in government institutions? Really? How many government facilities...

That could be one theory why they have little no influence on/in government. But that's beside the point of my main argument that they have little to no influence on/in government. Thus, the...

I don't think it's relevant to say politicians are Christian, because even if that were true, they apparently have very little religious sway on how government functions. But okay. What would you...

I guess you don't know history. Secular governments have been notoriously the most brutal against religion. Religion is the first thing targeted by a government dictatorship, usually with other...

Restricting the practice of religion in the military is not constitutional. Okay, granted, I didn't phrase what you quoted above correctly, so I don't fault you for construing my argument that way. I...

The Constitution is not being applied properly. And the discussion would go a lot smoother if you'd quit creating strawmen and/or twisting my argument. I never said historical trends include...

Let me point out by clarifying; I didn't say that the OP was a result of unconstitutional policy in and of itself. I said that the OP in the context of unconstitutional policy is cause for concern,...

You've created one of the most obvious strawmen I think I've ever seen in any discussion I've had here recently. Christianity being given preferential treatment over every other religion has nothing...

Depends on the issue. In schools, yes. But the point is, the Constitution prevented what we've seen in the past from much more hostile governments. The Constitution is becoming obsolete.

Yes, secular governments have always been hostile towards religion historically. Theocracies have always been hostile towards opposing religions. Do you deny this fact? The one thing that protected...

I'm not sure how you derive that from my post, or what point that really has to the post.

Secular government has historically been hostile towards religion. NDAA is relevant because this policy (among others) is a clear sign that the US has crossed the rubicon of a police state....

Being that it's against Christianity, I wouldn't expect the MSM to be that excited about it, other than Fox News. And being that it casts a disparaging light on the military, I wouldn't expect Fox...

Doesn't surprise me one bit, from a theological/eschatological perspective. Now this with NDAA, makes things really start to look interesting.

If one were to discount the first 11 chapters of Genesis as true history, this is a logical conclusion since earlier records exist that predate the Hebrew written records; records that give...

I would agree with this if we were actually witnessing. But who are we kidding? Most of the skeptics in here are apostates with a very emotional and rabid animosity towards the faith. These people...

As much as you bemoan the fact, it is essentially "us vs. them," which is why Paul often laid out the Christian faith as a struggle, and used "warlike" language to denote this. Juice is right. You...

Of course, one has to actually ask what "the opposition" thinks, because there's always a possibility at least one will say they don't think "the abuse" is all that bad. Seriously.

It's a way to get affirmation of his argument without rebuttal. It's cowardly.

It's called patronizing.

Unfortunately, conservatives have been especially brainwashed about this issue. It's really strange how that happened, because it seems we would expect the complete opposite (or at least a more...
