Well, I think Janice's recent post emphasises her agenda; pasting in copies
of supposedly left-wing sympathetic posts to ASA that dangerous lefties such
as George and Burgy have placed in there... One would have thought we were
still in the McCarthy era!

Bob Dylan's "Talking John Birch Paranoid Blues", which was first introduced
to me by a good friend of mine (actually my "best man") who has been a
life-long committed Christian and Socialist.

 
The Liberal/Left leaning tilt of many here is apparent in their theology and
not so subtle digs and everything short of cursing's given to conservative
politicians and ministers as an aside posted on some other topic. Or, as a
stand alone topic but with their stature in the group it is not questioned or
disciplined. I speak of the 2 above specifically. I myself read or look at
25-50% of the postings as it is usually from a small group who interact mostly
with, and agree with each other and/or the topic is not of interest to me.
Others have been brow beaten and eventually leave the list. Great intellectual
discourse. Agree amongst each other and castigate anyone who disagrees or
introduces something new.
The first comment in red above is characteristic of Liberal academia. When
in doubt or challenged or threatened, scream McCarthyism. Loudly. Ward
Churchill in Colorado has done the same thing. If past posts are brought up and
prove a point a political prejudice then 'well done', I say. Most Liberals hate
to be pinned as such. Most liberals, by the way, lose in the market place of
ideas. In the church, where liberal churches are losing members VERY quickly
(old ones are dying and young don't buy it), to politics, where destruction
inevitably follows see Canada. Or France, the Socialist paradise.
The second red comment is also typical of Liberals. Paranoia's of some
extreme conservatives is ridiculed but not acknowledged in themselves with their
own McCarthyistic hysterias. Sigh. I think Janice's post add some sparkle now
and again and a different train of thought sometimes to an otherwise
inter-congratulatory, inbreed group that mostly agrees with itself on most things.
If this is a Christian based group then where is the SCRPITURE? Let's see it
used. Not, Dick and others,some Hindu or Sumerian text given the same weight
as the Living God's Word. If you don't believe the Bible is inspired in
entirety (which most on this list DON'T believe, I think) then say so over and
over again so it is clear on all posts that you think it is legend, myth, etc,
more than you have. If you don't know the Divinity of Christ then certainly
WHAT are you doing here? Personally, I don't see how you can know the Savior
and NOT know the Inspiration of scripture.
Glenn Morton, whom I respect highly from his posts here, has said he doesn't
know what voice told him in his head that YE is wrong. He certainly wouldn't
presume to say it was God. Glenn, if you don't know Gods voice then before
you state with certainty about what the Bible says and what God has done don't
you think you know God well enough to ask Him about it?
This is supposed to be Science and Christianity. Not Science and Science
with a pinch of theology or archeology thrown in.
And, Dick, when you quote Bible Works please use citations instead of making
it seem like they are your own thoughts or words. I've caught you several
times and said nothing.
Regards,

Jack Jackson
