2- Agreed. At least something on-topic.
3- How do you know?

1. Man's choices have created the problems listed.

2. Edited to read, "empty words"....

3. I was once like you and would argue against the goodness of God and even His very existence. I know now because I know Him personally.

Many years ago I had a life changing experience. Since then, I've gotten to know Him.

My comment regarded the common inconsiderate and rude statement that Christianity is a fairy tale or some garbage like that, which often comes from the "tolerant" left. I'm guessing I'm correct that Visvaldis is one of those who would like us all to be tolerant of others...unless those others are Christians, of course.

But thanks for playing!
Carry on.

The "under god" is only to insure power. Christians want power over everyone and will not tolerate any challenge to their self-appointed authority.
To listen to a christian lecture about tolerance is like listening to the Three Stooges about social graces.

1. Neither God or His principles are responsible for the creation of any of the problems you've listed ... """




Then what did you mean by
"""Originally Posted by World Citizen
If there was ever a time that this nation needed God's help... now is that time. ""


If he's not responsible then what would you need him for????

So you agree, god did NOT create the world. ....and has no responsibility for his creation...








""""2. Reciting empty words won't make anything change..."""


Then why do some people need the words "under god" mumbled everyday?

Why do people pray?










"""3. God has been around much longer than a couple of centuries.

REALLY

As to how long god's been around , he has never been around because he doesn't exist. I was referring to the idiots who think we need the words "One nation...under God". This nation has been around a couple of centuries....get it now that it's spelled out in detail????

Or practice what you preach.
Surely that sounds familiar.

And I'm a moderate but thanks for your input.
