I probably have more friends on the other side of the border than this side - most of them small town, rural type folk. I'll have to remember to ask them what they think about that sort of thing when I see them next. They'll probably say it's a city thing. :chuckle:

like all bullies, town tries to defend his abusive behavior by blaming the victim:
I ask a question that most Christians would have no problem answering:
town attempts desperately to turn the discussion away from his abusive behavior:
looks like you've been taking lessons from barbie :nono:

You know, Nick, on the topics where you agree with libertarians, you REALLY agree with us. If you came around on foreign policy you might almost be there
I prefer chocolate but seeing as this isn't a political or religious issue, I don't really care.
I agree
Also agreed.
Amen.
Constitutionally speaking, the Framers did not provide for this to be a "Christian" nation or otherwise at the Federal level, but they didn't prohibit the states from doing that either.
Amen.
Unless its clearly a transgender type thing I don't see how it could ever be WRONG, though it could be frivolous.
Assuming certainty of guilt, I'm fine with this, although I don't remember if this penalty was ever given in the Old Testament or not.
In real life, considering guilt is rarely certain and appeals cost more than even life imprisonment does, I'd prefer lifetime banishing to a penal colony for this as well as murder.
True.
Why are individual income taxes OK either?
1 Samuel 8 makes it very clear that the rate must be less than 10%. my ideal is for it to be much, much lower. Remember that during the Revolutionary War, Britain was only taxing the average American about 1% of his income.

Of course, seeing as the rapture won't be happening until after the Tribulation.
Where do you get that idea?

Sorry I missed this for like a month. I admit, I don't actually KNOW this. But I see no indication whatsoever in the Bible that Christians will somehow avoid the tribulation.
If you could show me where you think the Bible teaches that, I can tell you why I think otherwise. Its kind of hard to prove a negative.
BTW: regarding the OP, I'd like to nominate the below thread:

This forum is filled with a wide array of members, some left and some right, and some that have fell off both ends.

I believe that was a suggestion for Topic of the Day, not a general question for discussion on this thread.
:idunno:
I don't think so.... he asked the same question on about three different threads.
Maybe you should change his username to Edward G (I wonder how often he's going to ask that) Robinson?
lain:
IF you believe and claim that something or someone is evil/supports evil ... is it ever okay to financially/personally profit from it?
Example ... Hanoi Jane (Fonda). Would you view one of her movies if you find her past actions reprehensible?
OJ (and other objectionable authors) ... would/should you buy and read his book?

Judgemental exposed.
Only God knows the heart, motive. We cannot know the handicap of circumstances.
To call someone out on their actions. As in stealing. Is not being judgemental. Calling someone a thief is dangerous, Matthew 5:22.
And for someone who had been found at fault for stealing to want to be an accountant, well... And to avoid bad examples in the church. Look to what Jesus told us to do in Matthew chapter 18.
