My thoughts exactly. And, I had that same sense when I used to post on the Rapture Ready Board.No problem–I understand now.
Ever get the feeling we are all (no matter our views) just wasting time and spinning our mental wheels in this place? After all, I just cannot recall a time when anyone here ever changed their mind about anything…
Well, I understood your question to be “does anyone here ever change their mind” and I was answering yes…my mind has been changed by what I’ve read here.
Compare their qualifications and accomplishments, Obama’s before '08, and Romney’s before '12. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist…
I agree with you. I’ve never seen humour in that passage.
One supports the culture of death…the other does not. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist…
My criterion is their respective competence for the office. You may prefer to emphasize a social issue. Fair enough.
I agree, it does not take a rocket scientist–Romney beats Obama in every category, except maybe in the high celebrity status the President carries.
I have never seen the Church consider that passage to be the least bit humorous either. Perhaps some Priests have…who knows…it seems like incredibly serious stuff to me.I agree with you. I’ve never seen humour in that passage.
Are you Rapture Ready? LOL
Okay, than you are one…good to know.
Before the elections? Obama was more of a blank slate back then. I couldn’t believe it when he beat the far more competent Sen. Clinton.
I equate Obama’s election to office as a result of his competence in the same light that I view Taylor Hicks winning Season 5 of American Idol.
A social issue? We are talking about the life of the unborn child…the voiceless martyrs in the womb…the genocide of abortion!!!
That Board absolutely forbad speculation about when the “Rapture” is to occur, and there was no dearth of posters who wanted to give their carefully determined predications!
Isn’t that the Holy Helicopter theory where Jesus sorta comes back to medivac the “elect” just before God puts the whammy on the rest of the planet?
Yes, it is a social issue, as opposed to economic issues or foreign policy issues.
So then you place economy and foreign affairs above the murder of the child in the womb?
Well, if you look at many of the principle reasons given to justify abortion, a significant percentage of them are considered “economic” in nature. My take is that most of the problems that are paraded as social issues are gussied up economic issues.
Did I say that? Where did I establish a hierarchy?
Are you questioning my Catholicism? Forum Administrators take a dim view of such. Check the rules.
Pretty much.
