@LibertaerUeberAlles The neocons continue to refer to Nazi Germany. The fact is, had America stayed out of WW1, there would have been no Nazi Germany. Germany was no threat to the USA. So Nazi Germany is not a good example. If anything, it is a lesson of the consequences of interventionalism.

Don't be deceived of these blind leaders trying to convince you Ron Paul isn't a genuine Christian!

"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." John 15:18

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:8

"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." John 18:36

Once again, ones actions define ones faith, not ones claim. If you are a rapist, robber, or killer, you are not in Christ. A criminal in jail is not under John 3:16. He is under Romans 13. A criminal can claim Christ all he wants.

Mt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ c will enter the kingdom of heaven, d but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. e

@BernieEOD Dear cluless. Spend a few days locked up. I found very few Atheists. They all think they know Jesus and are going to have because of John 3:16. I have higher absolutes than your confused little mind could comprehend. You religious types have more excuses for murder than you can throw a stone at. Your own Book of Numbers allows for child rape when God says so. It is your murderous crusading ilk that is morally bankrupt. Jesus would spit you out of his mouth.

@michaeljamsmith Secularism= Sexual immorality, the killing of unwanted babies. Drugs, gangs, Rape, Robbery, Drive by shootings. and all the other fruits of godlesness. The Athiest has no moral absolutes so he cannot say a rapist, robber, or killer is wrong. As long as the criminal is strong enough to carry out his desires, he is right.

@BernieEOD Excuse my French: Bullshit. Your God is a myth invented to keep a small mind at ease in times of crisis. But I can't prove that true any more than you can prove it false. But I have read your "holy" books. I used lexicons to understand the nature of orginal words and have studied the cultural contexts. I don,t believe one in a million has a clue what goes against God. Pride. The idea that you know more than me what is because you have faith. That is what makes you a danger.

[BernieEOD]

@michaeljamsmith Ones actions are what demonstrates his or her faith. One whos faith is in Gods ways will not vote for government to go against God.

@michaeljamsmith It's not that religion should be explicitly private, but that, in order to advocate liberty and peace, people of different religions, such as Christians & Muslims, must allow each other to live without being governed with certain theocratic principles one does not wish to adhere to. All have the right to speak freely, & even advocate their faith publically, as a right given in the First Amendment, but that no one should ever take liberty from another. America is still beautiful!

[uralldiseasedXD]

Ron Paul is my favorite Christian.

[michaeljamsmith]

@N8Revolution What does it matter. Most Christians in the Republican party are NOT genuine Christians. They are the Christian Taliban. And for another thing. Ron Paul practices Christianity in his private life. In his public life, his prime motivator is the US Constitution which put religion where it belongs, in private, not in the public square.



[lovelyJaneYeah]

@N8Revolution I like your remarks.

[BernieEOD]

@heavymetaldeath4life That is why when an Atheist is robbed, raped, or killed, it it the moral values of the criminal prevailing over that of the weaker person. The Athiest can only say he was weak, not wronged.
