Killing our own babies is wrong, but killing foreign babies (and the rest of their population, and even allowing the death penalty in America) is okay?
I find it amusing how people will protect the lives of murders and rapist, but are willing to throw away (quite literally) the lives of the innocent.

No tolerance for gays, but tolerance for a 2000 year old, outdated, hate mongering religious belief is right?
Despite your hate talk i agree that most Christians need to re-evaluate the approach towards homosexuals. It is one thing to disagree, but to completely ostrosize is another. Read the NT the only people Jesus dropped the hammer on were the Pharassies... aka the religious hypocrits... All the other "immoral people" Jesus was eating dinner with, and hanging out with them...

Allowing a candidate to change their mind on an issue is unheard of, but supporting a candidate who still hasn't mastered high-school level English is "the only sane choice"?
Changing your mind is one things. Wavering like a reed in a hurrican is another. Kerry isnt just changing his mind he is flip flopping with public opinion. In the most extreme cases he is doin things like criticizing bush for not adiquitly equipping the troops, when he personaly voted against the bills to provide the afformentioned equipment.
As far as the speaking gaffes, Kerry has had more than one himself. The fact remains that any individual that is taped 24-7 will make gaffes.

I could go on, but in short I think the so called "moral/Christian-right" need to pay a little more attention to the doctrines of their faith. What ever happened to "judge not", "do unto others", "love thy neighbor", "turn the other cheek" and a hundred other lessons the faith is supposedly based on? The hypocrisy of all you people claiming to have a moral leg to stand on based on your religion, all the while using the words "faggot" and "whore" (and yes, that statement is leveled directly at Jimbo) is astounding.
Mostly spot on here, save the no judge thing. Scripturally speaching Christians are required to hold people acountable, but are not to make value judgements on those people. The verse you are specifically referancing is calling people attention to the fact that they are not perfect either and should beware in the way that they are treating people. But the rest of it i agree with. the problem lies in that many Christians are so by a cultural standard only, or have never taken the time to study the Teaching of scripture. Sad really. And thanks for lumping us all together because of the actions of a load minority. Gross generalizations are always helpful.
Jimbo. I dont mean this in a completely negative light, so dont become defensive.
Your actions on this board are disturbing to say the least. You claim the name of Christ, yet you drag it through the gutter with your hateful and demining comments directed towards, homosexuals, women, and people you disagree with. I would advise you take some time and really evaluate your life, because your actions are in direct conflict with what you claim as a spiritual identity. They after all should be mutually exclusive. I am not saying that i by any means are perfect, but it is one thing to be imperfect, and a completely different thing to run around the internet cursing, and degrading people with deragatory hate speach...

I can't really say I like Kerry, but I can say I really don't like Bush. (And I can also say that people like Jimbo are why baseball bats were invented...)
Interesting like how you insenuate beating jimbo with a baseball bat here, way to take the high road.
please excuse all the various spelling and grammarical errors i am in a hurry and didnt have time to proof read...
