Blue - Again - you spend to much time in your head dreaming up scenarios. You have your own theology. People who take the Bible literally are programmed by some corporate machine. I don't know where you get this stuff.

Teal - In your case, you are on target. Don't extrapolate that to everyone.


Let me ask you a question - where is God in all of your theology? I look at your last paragraph - and it's all about people - the rabid fundamentalists, the hypocrites, the elitists, - seems like you have had a bunch of bad experiences with people and have checked out into your own theology because it makes sense to you. And it seems like you are putting God in that same category - He can't be trusted, this stuff in the Bible ain't true, choosing to believe in scientists because they must be smart and do research...

If you say you are a believer, what is real that is in the Bible that you put your faith in?
Oh Jesus help me!!

Rob, I can't.....I just can't......go on dealing with you. Your questions....your statements....(shakes head in utter disbelief) I just ........can't.

Just answer this...

EDIT: I can't totally let you off the hook. Who are the Fundamentalist corporate machine masters? Who programs us? These are your statements. Let's go - back them up.

He just labels all Christians as Fundamentalist to, in his eyes, discredit and belittle Christians and God. Pay him no attention for he has an agenda and you need to keep yourself above such people.

Not that I entirely agree with his approach or some of the things he's pointing out..but in the words of Kevin Spacey's Lex Luther...WRRONNG! ;p

It should be obvious from his posts that he is not trying to belittle ALL Christians or God...just the robots who never question anything in the mainstream.

Since Thrill won't answer, maybe you will.

Ignorant Fundamentalist! Its obviously the Romulans teamed up with the Klingons and the Illuminati after they discovered the Dark side of the Force!...

I'm not sure I can give you too many specifics since I only partially agree with the statement "Fundamentalist corporate machine masters" but I would say much of TBN, the Pat Robertsons of TV, most Mega Church Pastors, and the denominational associations that their Churches are based upon. The last one on that list is a big one and I've been on staff at Churches before to see it for myself. I don't know how "linked together" in terms of some specific Corporate Machine they are, but they do tend to fall in to step with eachother to some degree iin terms of certain absolutes in terms of condemning any form of certain Christian-based religious ideas (like UR for example) and often in terms of politics.

Luke 531 is that you? "It's not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."
Grace that pardons and cleanses within is greater than the "darkness" of sin.
