My whereabouts have already been clarified. Now go and learn what a "U.S. Citizen" is. I am a citizen of the kingdom of heaven!

Stop harassing me kiddo.

The post by Apercu is interesting, and surely it'll probably take the discussion you know where...

What caught my attention was a new "Annoyance Ordinance" in Michigan somewhere.

Thus saith the Lord, through John: Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Exactly! God's commandments are not grievous. But wait, the Romans 13 cult demands obedience to man's mysterious, nonsense called "The Law" as a commandment of God. Soooooooo, if Christians are to obey thousands and thousands (guessing) of grievous "laws" (that no one really knows what they are anyway, nor can they ever be known), and the "law" that "ignorance of the law is no excuse," are not God's commandments then grievous?

As a matter of fact, at a meeting of sorts that I went to long ago (that happened to fall on 911), I tried to get all of the participants to sweep aside personal involvement (this is my country they did this in, someone I know was hurt, etc.), and look at it objectively. If this was an act of war, as they all titled it, and we know people get killed in war; what made this act 'absolutely' wrong?
No one could answer that question (in a room full of ubelievers), but I sure got 'both' subjective 'barrel's.

That applies only to born again believers who get their wisdom and knowledge from Christ, those who do not rely on 'websites' for info, as if they were 'gospel truth'. Drawing from man's websites and then trying to argue and make 'valid points' only leads to division. Truth isn't found in 'man's wisdom'. No lost sinner speaks it.

A quick response to this one before I exit to gather some heavenly sunlight today.

I agree the nuclear family is first, but I don't see a problem supporting a sister if there be no burden.

So you're saying that after a child has completed their schooling (by whatever means) they are then capable to go out into the world alone, and not before?

We go out into institutions for most of the day when we work, or attend University. Should this be our first experience of attending an institution for most of the day?

I know of some children who were home-schooled. Now they are not serving God [MAYBE BECAUSE THEY WERE "SCHOOLED?"], struggle to keep down a job, are poorly educated and have little social skills. I believe this is a reflection of a sheltered upbringing and home-schooling.

You are right but don't forget that they say that Mary is the mother of God, so wouldn't that make her above God? Also what about the million or so saints that they pray to?

In RC belief (as in your own, I think), God is a Trinity, and any other representation of God is incomplete.

Let us know what you find out.

"Furthermore, the lawyers – or at least 99 44/100 per cent of them – are not even aware that they are indulging in a racket, and would be shocked at the very mention of the idea. Once bitten by the legal bug, they lose all sense of perspective about what they are doing and how they are doing it. Like the medicine men of tribal times and the priests of the Middle Ages they actually believe in their own nonsense. This fact, of course, makes their racket all the more insidious. Consecrated fanatics are always more dangerous than conscious villains. And lawyers are fanatics indeed about the sacredness of the word-magic they call The Law."

"If a British barrister of 200 years ago were suddenly to come alive in an American court-room, he would feel intellectually at home. The clothes would astonish him, the electric lights would astonish him, the architecture would astonish him. But as soon as the lawyers started talking legal talk, he would know that he was among friends. And given a couple of days with the law books, he could take the place of any lawyer present – or of the judge – and perform the whole legal mumbo-jumbo as well as the[m]."

I'll probably step out shortly to hit B&N (no more ma and pa bookstores left) to look at some magazines that I don't intend to buy. As long as I purchase some poison coffee they're ok with that!
