ah, sigh, alas and alack. yet another uplifted quote dropped into a steaming pile of "I don't know why you find this offensive."

The phrase speaks about a very true point but to suggest it's an intelligent one is definitively stupid. "We've come quite a long way from sticks",..
while those more intelligent would call it a decent into hell
The Second Amendment is very real and many have died for our freedom. (Arlington National Cemetary seems as big as the ocean and certainly bigger since my last visit.)
For those outside the USA, the Second Amendment grants us the right to bear arms, with restrictions on felons, etc. The First Amendment grants us the right to free speech.

I simply don't indulge the angry and/or the imaginings. Maybe that's what spot was referring to when saying I was being stubbornly disobedient.

Your reply on Monday, contumacious, in my "Another Question" thread. You also used the word "force" and I haven't found a use of force in any of my posts either, let alone stubborn disobedience. But I did enjoy your humor. It was the funniest post since this morning when I came across **Gles replying to something he didn't say either. But, my gosh, he added hilarity in his reply. Laughter is good for the soul, spot. I'm always happy to see it. Don't think I'm ungrateful.
Edit: ** Glaswegian, hope I got the spelling right.

To take that a step further, the First Amendment gives us the right to free speech. The Second Amendment gives us the right to bear arms. I'm simply one who chooses to invoke my rights and enjoy them at the same time. :-6
The first amendment actually establishes a neutral state with regards to religion. But I don't see how the consitution resolves the contradition between your "faith" and your actions. Obviously you don't believe God can can or will protect you, else you wouldn't feel the need to own a gizmo that does that job.

Certainly correct, the "replies" you mention were posts explicitly designed to avoid giving an answer.

True, the First Amendment contains many rights, but it's most specifically known for freedom of speech.
As for the Second Amendment, I don't see a disconnect between protecting myself (and my loved ones) and not trusting God. I certainly believe He wants us to take care of ourselves, in abundance and in many ways.
In the same way we set the house alarm and lock our doors each night, we know God is still in charge. Since crime strikes even the best of neighborhoods, the Second Amendment comes in place. Not only are we given this right to bear arms by the country we live in, a country founded on God, we also appreciate it.
I can't imagine that everyone who locks their door at night (armed or unarmed) doesn't believe in God and His protection too. I think He appreciates those of us who care for ourselves, take precautions, and leave to Him the rest. I'm grateful to have the choices He gave us to protect ourselves. I suppose you could say we have two-fold protection with One greater than the other. I don't find it complicated at all.
Again, one voice, one view. Thank you.

They were actually a courtesy on my part. There are no other words I can think of to explain not engaging in imaginings and unfounded anger. That was within them long before I arrived.

In other words, you don't really think God can or will protect you against an open door.
Sorry, but I don't think you *really* believe that God is in charge. Your actions suggest you believe the person with the biggest weapon is in charge.

The two are not exclusive, not either/or. In your realm of thought (your post above), I wouldn't use my car brakes or catch myself when I fall. See how silly this can get?

That's an interesting point. Though, the Bible doesn't really say not to do these things does it?
On the other hand Christiainity teaches that you shouldn't be killing people, that you should love your enemies, turn the other cheek, witness to criminals, practice forgiveness, not to judge others or you will be judged, etc. And that God will protect you if you follow these rules (e.g Daniel in the lion's den). How is blowing someone's brains out consistent with these teachings?
The only way using brakes or catching yourself would lead to the same dilema, is if doing so would result in the loss of someone else's life.
You seem fairly convinced that God is pretty much worthless when it comes to protecting you from other people.

Some do you know - it is said that the death rate in some Hasidic suburbs is horrendous as they step out into the traffic relying on God to protect them.

I get that spot. From the most disgusting post I've ever read about God (that you wrote on this board), I'm bewildered why you sport His highest angel as your avatar. It's baffling. And, no, I don't want to hear why - I'm simply so inclined to note it.

Where I come from people were very polite. When people had an issue with one another it was settled with fists. Guns used in a quarrel are for weaklings cowards and idiots.

ahhh, koan, oops, you must have missed my very first post to Glas (almost a month ago) where I told him I don't agree with all his views, but I do agree w/him regarding Mohammad being a pedo. You see, I don't need to agree with 100% of a person's views in order to appreciate one or more of them. A foreign concept to some, I know.
And now Glaswegien is a moot point since someone decided to ban him. Several others took an exit yesterday also. Some strange happenings ...

Finally some good news!
His thread is still up, so it's not like freedom of speech is being suppressed.
His debate style consisted of just throwing crap at the wall -- posting any and everything that he could find bashing Islam and Muslims. If he actually made an attempt to address counter-arguments, he might have been allowed to continue!
