Once Augustine merged Aristotle and Christ, the rest was just a matter of time and a lot of math.

It is that last, individual liberty, that is in direct conflict with the common good that is the whole reason behind morality. Liberals also claim to be for individual liberty, just in different areas- they want their liberty in gay marriage, contraception, and abortion.

A toxic and evil definition of liberty

Which is why all those Africa nations that has had so many good Christians go over there and help them for over a thousand years (with no help from those atheists, according to the article smitty linked) is now so prosperous

Once upon a time, young liberal padawan, there was a country called Rhodesia that was the "Breadbasket of Africa", easily producing enough food to make the country a net exporter, and creating 400,000 jobs.

Then a Marxist named Robert Mugabe took over and turned it into a shithole called Zimbabwe.

So don't blame missionaries for trying to help, blame Statists for fucking things up like they always do.

Simple -- Because Karl Marx realized that religious people would never submit to an all powerful State when they were praying to the all Powerful God. In other words, Christians living their faith, giving money to the poor and other corporal works of mercy don't need a nanny state to take care of them.

Karl Marx's biggest enemy? The Catholic Church.

No, Texas does not have an Open Carry law permitting the open carry of hand guns in public. On your property, open carry away. You can open carry a long gun (rifle, shotgun, even the "scary" AR-15) but we can't openly carry hand guns.... yet.

Not you Texas, your gun laws suck.

As someone who lives in Texas, our gun laws are pretty good with one notable exception -- we need an Open Carry law for hand guns. Otherwise, we can own / carry just about any gun.

Interesting that you failed to understand what I meant by a power entirely. The difference between Grok and Mock vs Hudge and Grudge is that while Grok will bash your head in and Mock will kneecap you, Hudge will steal your wallet, Grudge will steal your wallet and your wife, then Hudge will come back and steal your wallet, your wife, and your daughter, then Grudge will come back for your wallet, your wife, your daughter, your son, and your cows.

They just keep getting worse and worse, and we're not at the bottom yet.

Which was exactly my point. The reason you have whites patrolling Ferguson is because they're failing to hire from the community they are patrolling. That is not by accident, that is by design.

yet he left the Nazis and Commies alone

Have you ever read the entirety of the Old Testament? There were times when God allowed the Jews to be conquered to teach them a lesson. Have you considered the possibility that the American GI was doing God's Will when stomping the Nazi's? (Well, stomping them enough that they went underground and re-emerged as "Progressives" or "liberals".)

God does exist, and he does loves us, but not in the way most people think... or find comfortable.

Telling us that we're incapable of getting to Heaven on our own and sending His only begotten Son to die in our place seems like just the thing an infinite Love would do.

If we don't find out before the next Republican, we'll be sure to find out then. Hudge and Grudge never leave a power behind when they change places in office.

I suspect you could go down the street in Ferguson and find 20 young black men with good grades to recruit to the Police Academy- but somehow I don't think you'll find a white politician willing to do so.

What a bizarre view of theology you have.

The risk is best maintained by good life insurance. As are all risks that are perceived as being higher than they really are.
