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… 🙂
My thoughts exactly. And, I had that same sense when I used to post on the Rapture Ready Board.
 
Okay, but that does not really answer my question…
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.
 
How is Romney less qualified than Obama was on 08?
Compare their qualifications and accomplishments, Obama’s before '08, and Romney’s before '12. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist…
 
I don’t see that at all. The fact that Jesus called her out on a sinful situation would not be a moment for smiling or jesting.

Also, if you consider the entire passage, it seems clear Jesus was imparting a very serious message.
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.

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.

Looked good, sounded good, but once all of the confetti settled out the air…a whole lot of nuthin’.

A social issue? We are talking about the life of the unborn child…the voiceless martyrs in the womb…the genocide of abortion!!!

Just what is it that you emphasize?
 
Are you Rapture Ready? LOL
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!
 
So then you place economy and foreign affairs above the murder of the child in the womb?

Are you Catholic?
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 Catholic?
Are you questioning my Catholicism? Forum Administrators take a dim view of such. Check the rules.
