This is true for people with, or without, privilege. (And almost everyone in America has some sort of privilege.) People are skeptical for a lot of reasons. They have been lied to many times. They are told things to manipulate their emotions. If you want to encourage understanding, then you should listen to what they have to say. Quit talking, and listening. Quit labels, and consider that it is a human being you are dealing with. ~ It doesn’t matter what denomination the bible committee was. This was before the reformation, or the schism. The players were in the group that became Catholics, so I said that. The statement stands alone without that adjective. Mo has attacked the adjective, and left the noun alone. It doesn’t matter what community the committee belonged to. The relevant fact is that they were men. “If you’re going to believe in the first commandment then you have to believe in the words that were written down and you have to believe that there is divine authority behind those words that were written down.” Christianism is a religion of beliefs, not practices. Not everyone plays by those rules. The commandments are meant to be practiced, not believed. Just because you choose to follow a commandment, it does not follow that you are required to have a belief about it’s origin. ~ Isn’t that pronounced Fondle Park? ~ That vehicle against a bicycle is not a fair fight. ~ get a granny smith apple when you bite one it bites back ~ Teaching and learning are not the same thing. ~ The original version was, if you cannot be positive then at least have a good haircut ~ Tricky Dick’s opponent for re-election was an idiot named George McGovern. Even with the incumbent getting caught in a third rate burglary, the election was a landslide. ~ chamblee54 Georgia is going to poison Marcus Wellons tonight. The source of the drugs is a state secret. ~ Noway Please tell me, chamblee, how “poisoning” a murdering animal is a bad thing? ~chamblee54 1- I don’t like the politically correct expression “lethal injection.” 2- Mr. Wellons is a nasty piece of work, who committed a horrible crime. He probably deserves to die. However, this is not always the case in a state sponsored, premeditated, killing. 3- The whole business of using secret drugs, from a secret source, is appalling. 4- I write about the death penalty on my blog. Many of the men (and one woman) UDS are horrible people. However, the state of Georgia is not smart enough to handle this procedure. We would, IMO, be better off without the death penalty. ~ Ed Stay classy. Noway I’m more classy that the murderer was to his victim. Three Jack Just shoot em, no chemicals needed. Noway Bingo! chamblee54 Today is the 75th anniversary of the last public execution in France. On June 17, 1939, Eugen Weidmann was dispatched. The guillotine was used. The guillotine may be the most efficient, and least painful, method for executions. Unfortunately, it is rather messy. We have to pretend that we are a civilized society. There are endless appeals, and the humane seeming “lethal injection.” gcp “We like to pretend that we are a civilized society.” We have some members of our society who are quite uncivilized and have shown they can’t exist in this society which is why we have prisons and ultimately the death penalty. This murdering rapist lived on taxpayer expense much too long. A jury decided he should be executed and yes now the sentence should be carried out. Ellynn So you guys don’t read alot of Dostoevsky do you… MattMD “I’m more classy that the murderer was to his victim.” Well, it’s good to have standards, I guess.~ mck05002, do you have a link for this? I would like to learn more about it? I maintain that the third commandment is violated when we misuse the “G word.” (I confess to being a hypocrite.) It is a widely violated commandment. Many of these violations are by so-called religious people. ~ I feel like G-d is within me, as a helper, when I work on images. Do you have any thoughts on that? ~ “perfect pop songs aimed for teenage girls” might be a contradiction ~ Maybe staying out of the conversation is a sincere response. If you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all. ~ There is a little thingie in the corner of the window which will allow you to delete it. It will still be there in the ether, but at least every idiot on facebook will not see it. ~ pictures are from “The Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library”. ~ selah
