They believe in the trinity and that the bible is the direct word and the book that supercedes all other laws in the world. Jews and Islam don't believe in the trinity, therefore can't follow the bible as he deems proper.Ejeanbob1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03458876003421160551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-14230125658768803002015-09-21T11:06:47.208-08:002015-09-21T11:06:47.208-08:00Hey Canuck, thanks for the snort!Hey Canuck, thanks for the snort!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-90934713617702621422015-09-21T11:04:23.277-08:002015-09-21T11:04:23.277-08:00Randall, You are correct.

Or even worse, can't seem to see as a possibility. <br /><br />If they DO succeed in turning this country officially into a christian government, WHICH form of that religion will take precedence?<br /><br />It is been said there are over 33,000 different denominations of christianity! There have been attempts to unify them all for centuries. Ain't gonna happen. Heck, the catholic church can't get it's act together and unify itself. How the hell are they going to get all the sects and cults and other versions of christianity to agree?<br /><br />And forget about the attempts being made to come to agreement among the three main monotheistic religions!<br /><br />So, what are they going to do when that question pops its ugly head up?<br /><br />I hope they recognize one major point before things come to a head, however: There is NO war more vicious and unforgiving as a religious one!Lelandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-32686358898975641552015-09-21T02:26:32.610-08:002015-09-21T02:26:32.610-08:00"Freedom" is such a difficult concept fo..."Freedom" is such a difficult concept for conservatives to understand.

One time he tried to hit his mother with a hammer because she disagreed with his choice of clothes. Another time, he inflicted a major head injury on a classmate in a dispute over a locker. In a final incident, Ben nearly stabbed to death a friend after arguing over a choice of radio stations.<br /><br />The only thing that prevented a tragic occurrence was the knife blade broke on the friend's belt buckle. Not knowing the extent of his friend's injury, Ben ran home and locked himself in the bathroom with a Bible. Terrified by his own actions, he started praying, asking God to help him find a way to deal with his temper. He found salvation in the book of Proverbs in a passage that went, "Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-74636148011209414342015-09-20T22:11:11.100-08:002015-09-20T22:11:11.100-08:00There is something wrong with him, I think.

But, as a doctor, the things he says are so far out of left field, that he seems to have closed his critical thinking skills (and other repressed things) in a vault in his head and thrown away the key. He reminds me of a Stepford wife - he's a Stepford doctor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-57907328894542609812015-09-20T20:53:42.463-08:002015-09-20T20:53:42.463-08:00Thank you, Nefer.

Media need to start asking the candidates to specify their beliefs on separation of church and state.<br /><br />for example, consider former VP nominee Sarah Palin:<br /><br />2006 questionnaire for Alaska's gubernatorial race<br />Question: Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not? <br />Palin: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance. <br /><br />May 2010, O'Reilly Factor: " our founding documents...They're quite clear that we would create law based on the God of the Bible and the Ten Commandments.
