    I think Alatide's the one who should take a break.

    It is indeed a very serious question. I am a lawyer and I know what defamation of character is and the legal remedies available. I am however also mindful of I Cor 6. I haven't yet decided what to do and I would hope Revmitchell does the decent thing here.

    If you have ever....EVER....read any of my posts then you should know that I don't take ANYTHING that I read on this web-site seriously. I've been in more low-life biker bars that have a better understanding of God than most of the tripe that I've seen posted here by liberals, wanna-be's and trolls than I ever could imagine a Christian web-site would post. If you're looking for the Truth my friend....just read the Bible. (B.asic I.nstructions B.efore L.eaving E.arth) It's all true.
    (The above is not a jab at this web-site, and does not in any way constitute a slight to any trolls, living or not, imagined or real, living in, on, under, or near any bridges in this great United States.):tongue3:

    alatide is a troll and he'll end up banned again. There are ways to respond to such a troll, but saying things like :

    and

    make it look like you are the little girl raiding the liquor cabinet.

    It's all a big game to alatide. He's a troll that been here under numerous names. He comes on here to see how riled up he can get us until he gets banned, then he'll do it all over again.

    Hi Crabtownboy, I am with you in your desire. I too see a lot of squander and waste in our government that could have been put to better use to benefit the poor and needy.

    Christ fed the 5000 without having a questionaire as to whether they were Jew, Gentile Samaritan, rich, poor, worthy, unworthy, etc...

    I have looked into and researched Obama's "CZAR" staff and their writings and then looked into and researched the 1036 page Heath Bill (it keeps getting shorter) and IMO it is in reality NOT a Health Bill but a Population Control and Eugenics Engineering Bill with many blanks to be filled in later by the CZARs.

    I have posted the contents of these documents many times on the BB.

    As to killing innocent people, yes the innocent die in war, that's a fact of life. Presumably we go to war to defend our nation our government and our remaining freedoms. That is the intent.

    There have been occasions where the only way to protect ourselves is to totally demoralize the enemy in like kind by attacking his general population, e.g. the Berlin firestorms, Nagasaki, Hiroshima...

    This morning I did not need to use a prayer rug to pray to my God.
    I am thankful.

    As we approach 9/11/2009 we will again remember that there are those who believe that to slaughter us (the infidels) brings eternal life.

    Personally, I could live under any form of government because we are (or should be) pilgrims here on planet earth. When the time comes, if it comes, to obey God rather then men, then we will each have to decide.

    In the meantime I believe this administration has sent up several smokescreens such as the accusation of denial of health care to all when in reality it is a doublethink tactic of deception.

    It is evident to me that they themselves intend to apportion and ration health care (and who knows what else) on a sliding scale to those whom they evaluate as "worthy" (those who have received the heaviest social investment, have the optimum hope of Return On Investment (ROI) and the greatest potential of survival/longevity).

    Brave New World (or a belated 1984) has come.

    Here's an idea...don't tell people you are a Christian when you act like a heathen. It tarnishes the reputation of Christ.

    What would be decent is for you to stop your intentional liberal misrepresentation of those who oppose government run health care.

    Which is more important, American politics or the furthering of the Kingdom of God? By closely allying with the Democrat Party and their radical promotion of abortion the Christian Left has done tremendous damage to Christ's Church in that the secular world sees no difference between such a Christian and a pagan.

    I take that back - I don't mean to slander pagans - not all pagans sanction the murder of their own unborn children as the Democrats do.

    I think your are over-reaching matt.

    Personally, I think that the word "lie" or "liar" should be used sparingly in public.
    But, you know, it's a way of life here in the US, we are a quarelsome people especially being Baptist.

    In addition revmitchell seems to be expressing an opinion rather than making a direct accusation. I believe he is expressing an opinion that you are/were buying into what he (revmitchell) sees as a generic liberal "lie".

    In the way that he put it, he need only give an example of a liberal (any liberal) deceiving the public with words (how hard can that be?) as he did not name you specifically as that liberal.

    Here in the US one cannot be sued for slander or libel if either by word or implication one is proven to be expressing an opinion.
    That is the Right of Freedom of Speech.

    Beyond that, you could do the gracious thing yourself and forgive him unconditionally for what he said.

    Or just ignore him.

    Aren't we all liars?

    I know I am, that's why I prayed and asked Jesus Christ to forgive my sins.

    What was the impact of these on the number of abortions performed in the United States? if I remember correctly it is about o.1%. That a change in the right direction but is actually less than the reduction that occurred in the Clinton administration due to sound economic policy and a strong economy as opposed to two severe recessions during the Bush administration. Who actually did more to reduce abortion? President Clinton.

    I'm staunchly against elective abortion, but I'm somewhat concerned that a lot of people are single-issue politically. That's fine and dandy, but there seems to be a fair amout of judging others based on whether they lean towards a political affiliation that isn't anti-abortion. The "if you support that pro-choice candidate/position, then you're a [insert conclusion here]". In observation, that conclusion is usually neither accurate nor necessary.

    Are you sure you can read and understand English. I argued here that everyone can NOT get free health care.

    I was very offended by Revmitchell's unfounded allegation against me. However, I have decided to forgive him and would appreciate your prayers in making that a reality as far as my feelings go; I also hope you understand if I don't post further on this thread.

    Yes, he understands that.

    He was explaining to you that it is not necessary for everyone to have free health care because some of us work and either have obtained health insurance through our employer or have learned to live on a budget which allows us to purchase our own health insurance.

    It seems that it is you who have a problem comprehending the written word.

    Perhaps you should get off your free health care horse and start to work on improving your local public education system because somebody really dropped the ball.

    This was the question I was answering

    Maybe alatide was being completely sarcastic here, who knows? But I was answering his question. No, not everybody can get free health care. You have to qualify for it. And most of us who work do not qualify because we make too much income.

    But there are many millions in this country who do get free health care.
