Help!!! The devil is in this newsgroup!
"Gene Palmiter" wrote in message news:MJMkf.4064$H84.3031@trnddc04... ... Not! I checked. He's not a member of this group and his e-mail is unpublished. He has many names. Yes. I understand that he's just lost 50 points.....They are saying that he used to be, "666", and recently they think he should really be, "616". I'm not really familiar with the details....Perhaps someone who knows about this point system will chime in and elaborate....... |

In article , "Bandicoot"
says... wrote in message Well said Michael. Thank goodness that in most of the world 'Christian' doesn't also mean 'right-wing zealot' as if has come to in (much of) the US - but there is a strand of intolerance that is is spreading :-( Unfortunately, of fortunately, depending on ones view, this "right-wing zealot" label is taking hold in more parts of the world. I see it a lot in German and Italian youth. They try to distance themselves from Christians. Christian groups I have seen in both countries go out of their way to make the point that they support right wing groups who in turn support war and do their best to eliminate many freedoms and social programs. One does not have to do much historical research to understand that the Germans and Italians have been sold a bill of goods before backed by Christian groups. |

Its Christmas time. Its probably the only time of the year that Christians are looked upon as good, everyday people rather than as over-zealous, right-wing kooks (and those people who actually fit that bill bring that negative light on all of us). I am a Christian, but I don't go around brow-beating everyone else into accepting my general religious beliefs and/or doctrinal minutia. Everyone has his/her religious convictions - even athiests. I am happy to share my views in a public forum on why I believe what I believe and how these beliefs have made my life better WHEN ASKED. I share my convictions with my close, personal friends much the same as I share other personal information with these people. Besides, there will be a lot of disenfranchised right-wing Moral Majoritarians in Heaven when they have to share that blessed place with Muslims, Jews, Democrats, Socialists, Catholics, Cher and any number of other people/groups they thought would never make it. Most of these people would never even have welcomed someone like Jesus Christ into their own congregations. And, the heck with Jerry Falwell, I'm wishing everyone "Happy Holidays!". End of rant. Michael It's funny that with all the "fake stink" made about 'Christmas under seige' and 'don't patronize stores that say 'happy holiday', the official Christmas cards of Bush's White House and the Fox News Channel both say "Happy Holidays". Happy Holidays folks John |

All successful politicians hire "press agents" to make those kinds of decisions for them....And, considering we are talking about a president, Bush is a very successful politician...... When I lived in Austin I met one of his speech writers at a car show. We both have the same vintage car, anyway she was a complete nitwit and no one could believe she had this job but she did. I guess you can tell by some of his speeches that his staff is not the brightest. No matter, people fall for just about anything anyway. Yes. - Just check out the TV ads....On prime time, it costs millions to make one of those things and run it for several weeks, so they must be selling the stuff to someone, but I can't believe how dumb some of them are. -- I am always saying to my wife, "Does that ad make you want to rush down to the dealer and ask about that car?", or, "Would you really go to the drugstore and buy that stuff and ingest it into your system?" :^) |
