Can a "good" ___ be a good American?

I doubt even a good American can be a good American... lol at least on BB

 

I wish someone would post "what is the point of these threads".

I am a Christian and I served my Country honorable, I pay my taxes and I work to try to keep government as honest as I can, being I am just one. I think this makes me a "good" American, also. Don't you agree?

You don't need to be banned Reformed, you state your position on here and that is what it is all about. We learn by pushing each other. We just need to accept it as a way of learning and not hating. I fought hard with most on here but I hate no one.

 

Reformed,
I appreciate you brother and I appreciate your heart for the Muslim people and I am confident your exchange student will have a wonderful Christian home during her stay. However, the question of can a "Good Muslim be a Good American" is a fair and valid question. Same as can a good Jesuit, Zionist or Atheist or fill in the blank.

"We have no government armed in power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other." - John Adams​

What did John Adams mean by the above statement? Did he believe that we could import heathens from every land and think that we could sustain our Constitution? Most folks agree, for various reasons, that this nation is on life-support at best. How did we get here? I'm not about to pin everything on Muslims, as my primary bad guy is a dude that wears a fish hat and folks that chase after him. However, I do believe that Islam is one of the daughters of this harlot. Thus, can a Protestant / Baptist Constitutional Republic stand, when they are outnumbered by folks that do not maintain the same morality and religion that John Adams was referring to?

I don't think you need to be banned, but sometimes this board can frustrate the bejeebers out of the best of folks. It may be edifying to you to just step away from the keyboard for a bit and return when you might see this issue from a more calm perspective.

As to the moderation of this board; I have been on a few and kicked off of a few for my fringe beliefs. I have not found a board that is more open to the freedom of expression (with a Christian bias of course) than this board. The moderators get to express their opinions just like everyone else and though I disagree vehemently with a few of 'em (hi PL), I have yet to see them use their moderator role to force their world view on others and control speech in an abusive fashion.

Just my thoughts and I pray they edify ya...grace and peace.

 

Can you discern hatred of a religion from hatred from a person. I don't hate anyone. But I do hate a Satan inspired religion that damns people to Hell and encourages its children to blow themself up in the name of their religion. I hope you can see the difference.

 

He blamed me for hating in the original thread as well...

 

You are still at it! If any of that were true, we might agree with you.

Now again, please tell us what it is that makes you think that Islam is responsible for these peoples' actions, rather than those people themselves.

 

I have heard you say earlier that there are other ways to Heaven and I just peaked at your profile and you say that you hope to get to Heaven?

 

Show me that Islam doesn't teach that.
Do you know what a "madrassah" is?

 

Try watching a few of these videos for kids. :tear:
