5 US soldeirs have been killed in the past two days (that has been reported). I am sure all you bloodthirsty Bush asslickers are very happy about that.

You're not a very nice Christian. Maybe you should try anger management therapy and dump the silly mythology, it's obviously not working out for you.

Oh ok, I get it. So what your saying is I should get smurf on by you because of what I said, but what Northwind said is a ok in your book?
smurfing Hypocrite.
But then so is every liberal I have ever run into.

I rarely agree with Northwind, I rarely agree with anyone on everything.
However, as a Christian you're suppose to turn the other cheek or did you forget that part. Remember...hate the sin, but love the sinner.
smurfing Hypocrite.
If you want a good view of a hypocrite go look in a mirror. Do you use that same language in church? Thought not...I wonder why...
But then so is every liberal I have ever run into.
So since I am not a Christian and/or criticize you, I'm a liberal? I am not a liberal, I am a individual. You really like labeling people huh? You really need to seek some therapy...wow!

Sorry dude, I really hate it whenever I see this saying...but Jesus Christ never, ever said that.
I'm not trying to be an ass, it just irks me.

I've never proclaimed to be christian so I guess I'm allowed to say 'Northwind, your post was out of smurfing line'.

Did I say Jesus said that...no. Heh! The dude never was, so he couldn't have said smurf anyway, regardless of what the bible says...

Re: How about some good news we can ALL be happy about?
Um hello children... quit your bickering.
Northwind, no I am not some Bush asslicker... I didn't even vote for him. You have a problem with news of actual progress in Iraq? Yes, God forbid the man you hate so much is actually accomplishing some of his goals he set forth for that country. Geezus H. Christ give it a rest.
Truth is, there is a lot of good being done in Iraq that we are unaware of. So many people in Mini Stink go on and on about how Iraq is just a huge mess, but in all actuality, it isn't. Put your hatred of Bush aside for just one fleating moment of your life and be happy that some good is being accomplished.
It seems like you want everything to fail so miserably over there just so you can say "I TOLD YOU BUSH ASSLICKERS THIS WOULD HAPPEN!" instead of wishing for things to go well so our mothers/fathers/sons/daughters//brothers/sisters/friends/neighbors can come home ASAP.

I doubt everything there is rosy and peachy. There is a lot of work to be done yet. Part of the problem there is the people, not that their bad, but they lack the concept of "Live and let Live", you know...because your neighbors are/think/believe different than you doesn't make them evil, nor does it mean you need to kill them.
The mind-set needs to change over there, and that will take a long time to happen. Until then, democracy (or anything close to it) in the region is only a dream.

You ASSume that I am a Christian. Wrong.
And your last satement is like the "I know you are but what am I" kind of return I would expect from a LIBERAL.
As far as church, I have not been in one in about 20 years.

Curious, do you identify everyone that disagrees with you as a liberal?

Re: How about some good news we can ALL be happy about?
Damn, ho's. This crap turned into a mud-fest real fast!
As I said before in a thread that came up when 'the statue' was torn down:
I didnt, and still dont support the war. I dont think the ends justify the means. But seeing as how I'm not changing anything, I think it's still good to see all of us celebrating the ends.
So, if an Iraqi town has a real sewge system now, well hell.....

The only true God. My personal God.
I have not been in a church for so long because I feel they have only their interests at heart and not the ppl they serve. When I was a child, a friend of the family, a Minister once told me, "You don't find God in Church, on TV, or on the Radio or street corner. You find him in your heart." And that is my own personal church.

Umm, considering that anyone, anywhere, can make the same claim about the deity or deities that they worship you might wanna be a little more specific.

What you believe in is of course you own choice, you do not need to explain the reasons. Explaining often leads to seeking validation and that is not something that anyone can give you.

Re: How about some good news we can ALL be happy about?
I believe very strongly in the golden rule. Northwind called people "asslickers". I don't think "smurfer" was too out of line. If you can't take it, don't dish it out. Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.
What is this topic even about? I'm honestly too lazy to click a link.
I'm going to leave it at that.
