I cant believe people are comparing the confederate flag to the ten commandments..does your brain think?  Say what you will about the christian bible but I challenge you to find one commandment that isnt worthy of respect...

And dont come at me with the, "my parents were fuck rags, I shouldnt have to honor them" arguement... thats horseshit... if that was the case all you would see is justified killings, followed by justified killing, followed by more justified killings...

Use your brain..  you decide what actions you choose to commit..

Just saying 'You shall keep no gods before me' in a nation of hundreds of different religions... is sorta elementary, if you ask me.

Well can you decipher which ones stand out from the ones who are obviously man made?  Can you see the context in which that was spoken?

Come on man..are you going to pick a fucker a few years out of college over an account of someone that these college boys have never been able to legitimatly disprove?  All the arguments make the front page and are gone... come on man, you're here to tell me this was all just a fluke?

You do understand why such a war has been waged at this point in time right?  It wouldnt be treated as a threat, if it wasn't..

Are you watching what is going on in the world?... this shit was prophesied thousands of years ago... and holy shit.. its actually taking place. 

If you can't see that for what it's worth than I can't picture an alarm clock capable of waking that kind of slumber..

I think they're all man made. Whatever that means. Who created man, blahblahblah...

The context seems like a bunch of childish human beings who needed to be reminded not to steal and murder?
I think we're past being reminded of that now. Or, at least don't need the additional religious baggage.

I pick whatever makes sense to me.

'College boys' can think they know everything, but that doesn't mean they know nothing. Part of what makes Western Culture so great is the technology and civilization brought on by the Renaissance, Gutenberg's Press, and Higher Education.

Which war are we talking about? The Civil War?? The War against the Ten Commandments? The War against Western Culture (being waged mainly by elements w/in WC?) Not sure I understand this part. Edit: Oh, I see. Yeah, I have lived through too many 'this is the Big One!!' moments to believe easily in 'it's all coming together now, just as it was prophesied!' type of stuff. Of course, I could be wrong. And, there will be an end, eventually. But we don't need a man in white robes and a long white beard to tell us that.

I think democracy & the Enlightenment has spoiled humans a bit.

If God came back, as a physical being... we'd still want to see a 'resume' and judge for ourselves whether he was really merciful and forgiving all those years...Yes, he's *God* and all, but what if it's the Demiurge? The jealous God of the OT? The flawed creator of this flawed world? You'd have to check, right? :tongue: Maybe the most divine, courageous thing would be to rebel?

Maybe it would..  maybe there is different levels you show and proceed through..  maybe there is a time to fight fire with fire..

Maybe, in dealing with all these maybe's we dont really have any conviction.  Maybe there's a time to abide by a set of standards we may not necessarily understand?  Maybe there is a greater mind whispering thoughts that dont offer immediate resolve, but in the long run prove themselves true?

Im here to tell you bro, I dont know what the fuck is going on.  I look around and I cant imagine, what is going on...

But I do know this, something is indeed going on.  And Im not going to let it all go up in flames due to my lack of understanding..  or atleast I hope not..

The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.

7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided. 20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”

21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

Further Conflict Over Jesus’ Claims
22 Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[c]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’[d]? 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” 39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.

40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, 41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true.” 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.

Convictions, for their own sake, are overrated.

Not sure there's much anyone can do about the flames...
but it's good that you're looking. Good luck.

1-4 are about as vital as the Muslim rules against drawing the prophet -- integral for believers, but otherwise lacking practical application.
5, 6, 8 and 9 are solid social rules that have shown up in other traditions throughout world history.
7 is obvious unless your spouse approves.
10 is less about practicality and more about living without mental anguish.

I think the Confederate Flag stands for state's rights and independence from the federal government of the United States.  What most people fail to look at is 90% of the population in the south DIDN'T hold slaves and could care less one way or the other.  In FACT Robert E. Lee tried multiple times to convince Jefferson Davis to nix slavery in order to gain favour with France and Brittain and turn the tide of the war.  (Which IMHO would've made a huge difference considering the big difference in population in the south that therefore reflected itself in the number of soldiers they'd had)

and for almost 2000 years christians have been saying this exact same thing,
that these are the end days and they open their bibles and they try to apply
the ramblings of a madman to the events that are going on at that time and
while so many take the bible so literally they see the book of Revelations to
be symbolism except where they again decide to take it literal but where is
this 7 headed beast


BTW, do you have an photos of people? pictures of pets? maybe books with
pictures if you have then you've broken the second commandment and your
god will punish your children to the 4th generation

all of the commandments are shit
