That very well might be the best solution for me as well.
Wasted days and wasted nights?

I was not sure at first, but Old Regular, Carpro, Rev Mitch, Donna, and others had you figured out long ago. It took me longer because I do not quite see eye to eye with some of them on the Republican Party.
Your posts are not designed to exchange ideas, they are designed to evoke an angry response, which you leave hanging. That is called a troll.
From my limited knowledge of networking, I do not understand why people who were banned cannot be detected if they are using the same IP address.
It takes a lot of gall for someone who supports the unGodly political agenda that you do to call anyone satanic or an instrument of satan. -

This is a Christian group which does research for Christian denominations, churches, etc. My post is not about the platform of the Democratic party but rather about the state of the church today. I do personally believe that a lot of the damage shown in my post has been done by the Christian Right (e.g. 50% of those we are trying to reach with the gospel believe that Christians are too political). Another point I didn't make earlier is that the unchurched in this age group believe that the term evangelical Christian refers to Christians that are very active in politics.
Do you think that the way outsiders look at Christians is important? I do and I think it is reflected in the lack of success we've had in the last 20 or 30 years in reaching out to unbelievers. I also believe that this kind of life style is not the one that Jesus asks us to live and is much more like the Pharisees than the early Christians. This is the topic not the Democratic party. -
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. -

For the past 20 or 30 years too many Christians have been giving lip service to not supporting abortion but then turn around and vote for the party with the pro-abortion platform plank. -
How about "Bible believer?"
However, you're absolutely right. A word for word quote from 1 Corinthians 2 makes "no sense":
"12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.b 14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I'd say the US Census is a fairly good resource, wouldn't you?
I said the issue of numbers was moot in my original post, Alatide, why must you make more of it than was intended? I have been very polite to you throughout this thread and expect the same in return. As I stated as well, I'm quite busy for the next five days and want to make sure my post in response to yours is well thought-out rather than some off-the-cuff response. I was willing to wait for your reply before, even asking everyone to be nice to you, will you please reciprocate?

I'm not going to "report" anyone here, but I will suggest that omitting such pejorative labels as "troll" and "idiot" would do little to harm discussion, here.
