I thought I'd try; but the seed post is so fragmented that I couldn't construct a logical reply without tearing it apart.

I take it that you think americans are just better killers, so is that why the "american empire" is on top? I believe that the economic engine fueled by the American free enterprise system is the reason the "american empire" is on top. Incremental liberalism over the last few decades has undercut the free enterprised system by punishing acheivement and rewarding failure. Continuing on that path will be America's demise. If only the Nazis were better killers, could they have been able to save the world from america??? The question is an impossible hypothetical. They didn't have the industrial capacity or advanced technology to make them better killers than the US, or the Russians for that matter. I take your question to ask "what would the world be like if the Nazis somehow were able to win WWII". First of all that could only have happened if Germany had not declared war on the US after Pearl Harbor. If the US would have only fought Japan and left the Europeans to settle their own mess the Nazis could have conquored Europe and probably would have worked some deal with the Russians. This would not have saved the world from the Americans as the US could have exercised world-wide economic imperialism without competition from the British, French, Swiss, and other European countries. Do you think the that if the Soviot Union (USSR) won the cold war and was the worlds lone super power, the world would be a better place? Of course not. Soviet influence would bring millions under the yoke of communism. I've personally visited communist contries, believe me no "happiness" around. Do you think america should be punished??? For what??? And what punishment do you think is best??? Perhaps God will punish America since we are abandoning our traditions and culture. Or maybe we'll just be doing it to ourselves. What is the 1 thing you say is the best aspect about america? With no hesitation I say FREEDOM. If you could live in any country on earth, what country would you pick and why??? The US as long as the Constitution remains intact. Why? see above. What is the most single most important political issue on earth, in your opinion??? Living standards in third world countries. Do you "hate" america??? Why??? What is the single most thing you "hate" about america??? I don't hate America; but I hate the US educational system.

The Christian belief is that Jesus IS God. It's called the concept of the Holy Trinity.
The Council at Nicaea was called by Constantine in the 4th centure in order to "define" the religion and have uniformity in church teachings.
The BIG QUESTION:
Jesus Christ, is God; or is of God? In other words, is Christ a Deity or the Son of God?
In the Classical Greek language the "of" in that statement was represented by the Greek character Iota. Hence the term Iota has come to represent a very small, but very important thing.
At this council the concept of the Holy Trinity was affirmed and the church elders decided which ancient texts would be included in the Holy Bible and which would not.

The problem with gnosticism is that you won't come up with the correct answers, but rather the answers you are "comfortable" with (none of that ten comandments BS) and hence you will have created your own idol.

There are many such books. Google "gnostic gospels".
Gnosticism is what TGS pretty much describes in his post. The answer is from within. So, you can basically invent your own religion and achieve salvation without the need for a formal religion. Personally, I think it's idolatry.

What's strange about that list is the common threads.
How many people do you know that have died in plane crashes?
Also, a lot of suicides and head shots.

The Churchill quote was from 1918. Nobody in politics could say that today in our PC world.
tgs said:
I, myself, like the mexicans. They will turn conservitive eventually. Mexicans have strong terditional familys. Liberals hate,terditional family values. Mexicans have exelent work ethics. Liberals hate "work". Mexicans are devote cathlics. Liberals hate "catholism". Mexicans like america. Liberals hate america. It won't take long for the mexicans to figure out that the liberals wanna keep them poor and weak by making them depend on liberals.)
You could be right. Generally, Mexicans do have those qualities. It would be ironic if they eventually turn on the Dem's.

The whole premise of that piece (of crap) is silly.
Look at all of the hate that the Dem's spew toward Bush and Chaney! They are the haters. This piece smacks of projection (any psych majors out there?).
Republicans don't "hate" Mexicans. They just see them as potential Democratic voters and a burden to our welfare system. It's practical, not hatred; but the Dem's (as demonstrated by this piece) try to make it personal.
Republicans don't "hate" Muslims. They see them as a threat to our culture and our security. Again, it's practical, not personal hatred. Look at all of the trouble spots in the world, all caused by Muslims. Pakistan and Philippines are the most recent examples; but the Dem's try to make you believe it's all a result of failed Republican Foreign Policy.
The Republicans don't "hate" blacks. It was the Republican Party that broke down the barriers while Democrats fought to preserve segregation.
Gays? Well maybe the Republicans hate them.
