  1. You’ve got the wrong war with Britain in mind.
  2. I’d like another one. This is very unsurly of me, but I haven’t used it since it changed because it just seems too personally mean to the poster for my tastes rather than directed at the content of the post. (Ducks for incoming negs.)

  4. “Brilliant comedy mind” is not one of them either.
  5. Is there an echo in here? Have you looked at the US government lately? Some might argue it takes at least as much faith to believe in the fairy tale of its proper functioning as it does to believe in God. It was just a throwaway post that struck me as mildly amusing. Though not nearly clever enough (or complicated enough-not sure what you guys aren’t getting about it) to warrant any real discussion, let alone multiple posts of explanation.
  6. Let’s ignore the fact that he said “our government shouldn’t be forced to stop its work,” which is pretty clearly an implicit statement of faith. More importantly...it was a joke. Thought that was fairly obvious.
  7. Bold move to criticize a belief in “fairy tales” while proclaiming your faith in the work of our government in one post.
  8. Completely agreed on the first point. I’ve been lamenting that for years. As far as Q goes, I think it’s worth reiterating, consistent with some of the observations others have made on this thread, that serious evangelical scholars as well as popular but more intellectual publications like Christianity Today and The Gospel Coalition have articles denouncing Q all the time and have ever since it first started making news. The question of who is swept up in this (or for the umpteenth time, who is an evangelical) is complex.
  9. I’m not disputing your take on Netanyahu in general, but I don’t know that loyalty to your religion over your country makes you “radical” in the sense it’s normally used in political discourse.
  10. Dispensationalists. "Evangelical" already has enough baggage of its own without painting all of them with that brush.
  11. Well that’s better than the “your argument is stupid/history is dumb/it’s common sense” trifecta that you went with before.
  12. You have to bake it on Cornyn-style to truly appreciate it.
  13. Most of the Bill of Rights (including the 1st Amendment) have been made applicable to the States under the 14th amendment-its called incorporation. (Not a lawyer, I’m certain they could explain in more detail.)
  14. Agreed. “I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!”
  15. If you’ve never placed any hope in this country, it’s much easier to deal with.
  16. 20+ million Seventh Day Adventists stand as an alarming counterexample.
