Is ridicule all you have? nm

There is every need to ridicule. sm
Because religion is ridiculous. Admiring the philosophy and teachings of Jesus? Fine. Organized religion, believing that the Bible is a factual account of anything and thinking along the lines that "speaking the name of Jesus out loud" is anything other than a superstitious talisman? NUTS. Thus, perfectly worthy of ridicule.
There is NO need to ridicule s/m
I don't ridicule you. I believe that Jesus Christ makes the truth known to the heart and soul of every human being. He is a gentleman. He will not force Himself on anyone, I believe he said, "I stand at the door and knock, if any man will answer...." I believe that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died and was buried. The third day he rose from the head, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God from where he will come to judge the living and the dead." Furthermore I believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God, no exceptions and that includes Jonah living in the belly of a whale.
Now that is my belief. Riducle if you like. The Bible says you will. Now what's worthy of ridicule? I'm not asking you to accept my faith. What happens when I die? If my faith is misplaced....I'm dead, end of story, I was a "nut" and bought insurance I didn't need. On the other hand, what happens if YOU die and find out that, indeed, I was not a nut?????
No need to ridicule
Can we not just respect one another's beliefs? No one asked you to believe as they do. You don't have to agree but at least show some respect. Otherwise, you are the one worthy of ridicule for being so rude.
I'm sure some will ridicule me
for posting this and from where it comes from (warning: comes from Fox News. LOL), but this is truly how I feel.
Is This How the Post-Racial Obama Administration Begins?
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
By Glenn Beck

Martin Luther King's dream has come to life. Or at least I thought so.
Barack Obama today stepped out of the Capitol building which is filled with art depicting the story of America and yet somehow only holds one image of an African-American.
There, he was at the threshold of history. Fifty years ago, a black man couldn't be served at lunch counters in some cities. And today, Barack Obama stood in front of millions of Americans on the mall black and white, right and left to take the oath of the highest office in the land.
His speech generally respected the situation - heavy on those things that bring us together and shed light on specifics that might divide. In the days leading up to the speech, some on the left claimed that division would be coming from that evil minister of hate Oprah Book Club author Rick Warren. His crime: He agrees with much of Obama's platform on gay marriage. What bigotry there.
However, it was another minister Reverend Joseph Lowery who used his benediction, to ask God for this:
"We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right."
Is this how the post-racial Obama administration begins? That someday the brown can stick around, the yellow can remain mellow, and the white will embrace what's right?
Even at the inauguration of a black president, we are being called racist.
Mr. President I want to believe. I want to trust. I want to hope for change but I am really failing to see how this is any different.
USA Today reports that you smiled when he said this and shook your head. And it's not like you didn't know what you were getting yourself into. This is the same Reverend Lowery that even made Coretta Scott King's funeral about politics!
America is with you today, Mr. President. We are all tired of the partisan bickering, the racial divides, the greed and corruption.
There are many that didn't vote for you, myself included, that want you to succeed, and that pray for you and your safety. You may be fascinated to learn that we don't hate minorities, and we don't want to starve the poor, and we are perfectly fine with the brown sticking around.
We will do our part. But help us help you. We will argue about politics but let us expect the best from each other, and chastise those who insist on driving wedges between us on both sides of the aisle.
I didn't take that as ridicule at all.
As a mom, I found it flattering.
Sensitive much?

Ah....what page is if you can't refute, ridicule?
They employ that one as well. Often. lol.
The first and last bastion of the left....ridicule. nm

Did you have to add 'Mom' to your 'Thanks'. Why do you do this? Ridicule? n,
nm
swhy do you take refuge in ridicule, or maybe you
really realize that I belong in the Mensa club, my IQ is 135, when you run out of arguments proving your points? Or taking refuge in the Bible verses and let the Bible talk instead of yourself.
Palestine belongs to the Palestinians and the Israeleis, so the just solution is the 2-state solution which is well underway: Netanyahu gets opposition from his own people.
Neither Israel nor Hamas can
claim whole Palestine to themselves.
I hope you abstain from further ridicule or bashing. I am civilized and do not do it.
No need to ridicule, as most religious groups make
NM
then you should be fine
This is yet another fine..
reason to stay out of Wal-Mart. If everyone who is so upset about words would put the same amount of energy into confronting Wal-Mart about all their real sins we would all be a lot better off.
It's fine....
I'm probably still upset about Howard Dean being run out of the race way back when... I'm just sick of the whole scene.
Fine: s/m
Then you can sit down for crumpets and tea with all the madmen who hate America for our freedom. Keep in mind that unless you believe in this radical Islam (2 more words which the drive-by media has completely eradicated) you (including Obama) are an infidel. A close friend of my husband (mine, too) is from Iran. He's as active in conservative politics as many of us are. Gee, I wonder why...
Fine by me........
As far as I'm concerned, the UN definitely has no credibility and never has. It is a joke of an organization and one the U.S. DOES NOT belong in!!! They wouldn't know credibility if it slapped them in the face let alone credibility of a good woman.
no name is fine and not every uses me and
maybe I've missed something but I've never seen anyone sign their messages I. I could be wrong, but I've never seen it.
The reason is your and my viewpoints differ so much. There are too many people switching names on a daily basis and I prefer to just keep it to me. That way people won't think I've gone off the deep end or taking any drugs when you spew your fabrications about O'No.
If that happens, fine. But at least I will have had NOTHING to do with it...
and I can live with that.
Thanks, she's doing fine
have to wait for bx results. I think no news is good news. Appreciate the prayers!
That's fine with me
it's been needing some livening up anyways! :)
Thanks. I will be fine
I could see it coming for the past few months and had cut my hours back. Also, I have always had 1 or 2 other jobs just to protect myself.
I had sent out some resumes over the past few months because I had a bad feeling about the hospital, and actually started a new job the day after I got the bad news. The money is not as good, but it is better than not getting paid at all!
Everything is not fine in our country
... but I will put my flag up on the 4th of July.
I find it so sad that our country is so very divided and the ugliness and meaness has come out of everyone's mouths.
It seems that some of it is the religious versus the nonreligious, the gay and the hetero, our way or no way..
no matter who is president, we are all equal and should all be treated wiht respect.
Peace.
Yes, they are very fine words..
written by some very fine minds. Ghandi says much the same. I think I'll stick with the great minds. Cat bites and scratches dangerous ?...sometimes...people who mistreat animals or wish them harm dangerous ?...always.
Those are really fine words.
However, if the cat is harming human life, and everyone knows how toxic a cat scratch or bite can be, and the owner refuses to maintain her animal, what is the solution? Maybe a new home.
That's fine if you want to be told
you aren't worthy of an MRI, right? Because it's too expensive?
Oh I don't know, you are doing a heck of a fine job...
passing off insult as intelligence. You have it down to a fine art. Verrryyy impressive. "Certainly the issues seem to be a big taboo." Well I suppose so...since I have asked you a very simple question repeatedly and you can't seem to stop with the insults long enough to answer it....lol.
As to plagiarizing...rather than do that, you just post under different monikers...to support your own argument I guess? Ahem. Ego need a little stroking there?
Hope you find some of that substantive conversation. Heaven only knows who would sit through a 20-minute dissertation hoping that at some time a point would emerge or just one little question would be answered. Good luck!
that's all well and fine, but today's
world never sees any racism as funny, so given the serious nature of this particular board, humor just did not come on the radar.
Sure she was fine with you until she wised up
and brings up talking points that represent concerns of the democratic party. Nothing wrong with considering all sides to a story.
She will handle herself just fine....
better than O, at the very least as well. And she is the #2 person...not the #1. We elect him, we get him day 1, and all the experience (limited though it is) is #2 on your ticket.
Just fine isn't good enough. nm
xx
You have your opinion, and that is fine....
I have mine.
not to put too fine a point on it, but
It was because gas was too expensive this summer, so people just skipped the soda at the gas station. (that is actually the truth).
We're actually fine, thanks for asking...
we are pretty good at managing our finances; we were also taught at a young age to save our money, to not put it all in the stock market, plus we are debt free but the house. Should something happen to our jobs, we have a year's living expenses put away for that. The media would have you believe everyone is living hand to mouth, has lost all their money in the stock market, and are one step from declaring bankruptcy or being homeless, and that just isn't the case.
She seemed just fine. Comedy might be a
MLO
Another fine example of the "pot" again
:)
Fine. Then you should understand it when I say....
Obama will get my respect when he earns it. Just as I would expectg if McCain had won he would have had to earn your respect...and would never have gotten it, right? Can't we just be HONEST about this? lol.
Okay, fine. That is hypocritical
nm
Did you ever think that speaking is fine, but
nm
I'm perfectly fine with that.
Thanks Amanda - you explained it well. I had never heard the term anchor babies. If they are born in the US then that's fine for president.
fine point
you've made there.
I think it is perfectly fine -
You also have to take into account the differences in what one generation feels is appropriate and what the next generation feels is appropriate.
I can remember when I was younger being told I could not even wear jeans to McDonald's when applying for a job, that I needed to wear a dress. Now, with the new generation, you don't even need your "BEST" jeans on - anything goes.
Going for a business interview? Well, forget the dress and panty hose... wear a pantsuit or a dress with bare legs.
At least Obama still has on a dress shirt and a tie, and I am sure the jacket is there available when it is needed.
I also read that one of the problems is that Obama does not like the cold and he keeps the thermostat turned to an uncomfortable high if you have on a jacket.
The Lake is just fine
It used to be horribly polluted but it is fine now. My uncle and aunt own a cabin on Middle Bass Island which is right across from Put-In-Bay. My uncle fishes for Walleye out of the lake all the time. In fact, I was worried he was one of the idiots caught out on the ice that had to be rescued. LOL! Thankfully he was not, but he could have very easily been. He loves to ice fish. We used to vacation there every year with my aunt and uncle.
I think he would handle it just fine...(sm)
However, I don't believe a man should be measured solely based on his ability to fight. I'll take brains over brawn any day.
That's OK. I'm sure you can put your trust in fine,
*
Fine, don't answer the question. SM
I am more than happy to vacate this board. I was just waiting for proof of the heinous allegations that were made against Laura Bush, but obviously you don't have any and can't be bothered. I will not post here again. It might be nice if you stopped your pot shots on the Conservative board as well.
agreeing to disagree is fine ...
But it never seems to stop there. I don't own a gun and probably never will. I don't think anyone should, but I do believe it is their right and I would never fight to try to take that away. That is agreeing to disagree.
I believe in a woman's right to chose, you don't. I respect that (that is why it is a choice), but when people starting trying to take that choice away from me, that is not agreeing to disagree, that is telling me what to do, not to do, and that is what I have a problem with.
Fine, put Sarah in his place. She has more
nm
FINE! JOE BIDEN SAID OBAMA WAS NOT...
READY TO BE PRESIDENT!! Which is worse??? Geez.
I agree. She will do fine and has MORE credibility
nm
Which would be fine EXCEPT he wants to be president of that same country nm
