Even if you’re not a Baptist you sound and think like one. You profess to be a Christian but your words falls short of a true Christian. You pretend that you know the bible but you seem to avoid doctrinal questions. What you have done so far is to copy extensively from somebody else’s work which is basically not a new issue. I tried to ask you a couple of questions in #73 to understand your belief in Salvation by faith or by grace. I hope that you’re going to respond according to your own words and understanding of the scriptures.

You see, there is only one bible as they say but there are quite a number of christian denomination in the whole world simply because of mis-interpretation and possibly mis-translations.

You have the Protestants, evangelicals, Adventist, Jehovah’s witnesses, etc., and they all believe that the Bible is the sole authority when it comes to Christian faith. I guess you will agree with me that Jesus Christ instituted only one true Church and the rest are of the devil.

I tried to ask you a couple of questions just to prove a point, and that is, there are varied interpretations in the different verses of the bible (and who is going to interpret it for all of us? Born again pastors? Catholic Priests? Evangelicals? You? and why favor one over the other?)

I hope that you learn to respect people regardless of race or religious persuasions and that you stop ridiculing the intelligence of people of other faith under the pretense of knowing and accepting Jesus Christ. Listen to the Jewish Priest Gamaliel in Acts, chapter 5:

34. Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

35. And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

36. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

37. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

38. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

39. But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

So Ronald, go and do something good and obtain the virtues that Christ has taught in the bible like charity, kindness, understanding, tolerance, fairness, and love.

As far as whether she’s actually funny, anyone who prefers John Stuart’s ham-fisted attempts at satire and his glib self-righteousness to Coulter’s cutting polemical wit can have him.

She appeals to that kind of immature thinker who loves feeling a little frisson every time he hears the conventional wisdom contradicted, whether or not the conventional wisdom happens to be right.

Mark, I don’t thing calling Gore a goof is full of hate and vitriol is, but calling someone a faggot is.

1. She’s funny
2. She frequently hits the nail on the head, and is able to show how stupid the opposition is (e.g., there’s a conception that Joseph McCarthy, for whom McCarthyism was named, was on the House Unamerican Activities Committee, but he couldn’t have been because he was in the Senate, or her saying of Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong who prosecuted the sham Duke rape case, “On March 29, 2006, [Nifong] told reporters he knew a rape had occurred based on — I quote — ‘my reading of the report of the emergency-room nurse.’ That report was not given to the police until April 5, 2006, making it the equivalent of the forged Nigerian letter Joe Wilson claims to have debunked eight months before it surfaced at the CIA.” ).
3. More than anyone else, she’s not afraid to address any issue at all
4. She angers liberals, which means that she’s hitting a soft spot (compare this to Al Franken, who conservatives tend to have a rather bland attitude about)
