3. God is pretend, so who cares
I don't pray for troops to die though. I don't want ANYONE to die.

24. YOU many believe that, but I don't
But, that's the beauty of America. We can both believe in whatever we want.
In any case, the freepers are nuts. They don't understand the separation between Church and State.
AND, they must not believe in the love that Jesus inspired. They're hateful and vengeful, like Old Testament God. They seem to have forgotten that Jesus got rid of all the 10 Commandments save two - love God and love they neighbor.
That's all you need.

Let God, or karma, or whatever you believe take care of it.

18. The nutjobs don't really believe in God.
Think about it for a second. The reason why they have all of those crazy prequisites for belief such as having to believe that all evolution is bunk, the earth is 7,000 years old, and so on is because their belief is actually so fragile that if any of those crazy things they believe were proven to be false or if they came to believe that any one of those things was false, their faith would be shattered. They turn to fundementalism precisely because their faith is weak.

11. one voice of reason, at least:
In all fairness, I just went over to DUmmyville to see if you were right; you're not. I checked every thread. Just expressions of mourning and of course, anger at the administration. I may think that anger is misplaced, they should be angry at the terrorists, but spreading false rumors is a lousy idea, and doesn't reflect well on us.


The rest sure are morons, though- that site is ugly in more ways than one.

12. I pray for the troops' survival and for peace to be restored.
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 09:25 AM by HypnoToad
*'s war was wrong. Those running it were wrong and had no clue. The troops either do what they're told or get into big trouble. Just about every failure has been the fault of the higher-ups (allowing the looting, Abu Gharib, not protecting the soldiers the way they ought to, wasting money for foolish actions...)

* opened up a big can of worms.

What happens if the troops leave Iraq?

We need the UN to take control and for them to say they would help Iraq without meddling with how they want to govern themselves, they're probably the last chance for peace.

It is their president who has caused these soldiers and civilians to die by putting them into this unnecessary war in Iraq. I've never seen one thread which implies that and there are plenty of progressive Christians on this site.

22. "But when you pray, go into your room
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 09:33 AM by tanyev
and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you." Matthew 6:6

Also, "And when you pray, you must not be like the hyprocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward." Matthew 6:5


I pray all the time. Just don't feel the need to start a prayer thread. My main prayer right now is that God will give wisdom and discernment to all who are heading to the polls on Tuesday.

I was just about to post something similar.....the Bible says to pray in the closet! This is one of the things that turns me off the most about the right-wing. The Jesus stickers and such all over their cars and trucks just seem like bragging "I pray more than you do!" "I'm in closer with the Man than you are!"
The freeper thread is not much different: "We pray more than they do!!" How do they know?
Most of us on the left who are religious don't flaunt it and consider the flaunting of your religious fervor to be in bad taste.

30. TO ANY LURKING FREEPER...
"And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrits; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received thir reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

Matthew 6, verses 5 through 8.

You may now return to your regular insanity...

sinners to save them.

53. Last week, I started a prayer thread for Chief Justice Rehnquist.
I'm not someone who prays all the time, I completely abhor Rehnquist's skewed view of the country and our Constitution, and I passionately hope that Kerry picks a man (or woman) of the people to replace CJ Rehnquist, but -- first and foremost -- I prayed for him and asked all here to do the same because cancer and cancer treatments are very tough for someone his age to face.

54. The difference between freeps and DUers
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 07:52 PM by DaveSZ
DUers respect everyone's right to pray or believe whatever they wish.

Freeps led by Bush want to legislate their own narrow faith views on everyone else.

And nobody wishes anyone to die. It's insulting to say something like that.

I have friends and family over there.
