The Monarchy is vanished; and these great Revolutionaries such as : Robespierre, Danton, Marat, St Just ( called: The Angel of Death during The reign of Terror),any others are in power.

Social Darwinism Charles Darwins's Origenes of Species, frist published in England in 1859, had begun to influence public opinion in during the late 19th century this country. The idea that nature had ordained inevitable progress governed by the natural selection of indsividuals best adapted to survive in competitive enviromental appealed to most Americans. |

Christianity civilization has been the instigator of as much strife and war, the most intolerant of other religions than that of Christianity? Of course there were many Christians who were persecuted for their faith, but what about the countless who were killed mercilessly by crusaders in the name of their faith? |

Survival of the Fittest. Evolution was a breakthrough at the time. The survival of the fittest, so hot off the press--it hadn’t even been translated into English in it’s entirety before the giants of American Industry got their sticky fingers on it. This theory justified why the rich are rich, the poor are poor and the blacks are inferior. This theory “evolved” from “survival of the fittest” to the science of “eugenics”--American borne and adopted by Adolf Hitler--and this is where we witness the ultimate ends of the initial means. |

scaredstiff You make a good point when you when you bring politics into it--at one level. Every religious war ever fought, including the current one with the Islamists, occurs because one group or another wants to unlevel the playing field with the establishment of religion. That is that group wants to use the force of government to force compliance with their religious teachings. The Islamists want to force the entire world to practice Sharia Law which will prevent you from practicing your pagan faith as much as it will prevent me from practicing my Christian faith. President Bush and the evangelical churches are doing no such thing, however. I'm not speaking here of the practice of religion by government officials in their offices. Our Constitution protects the practice of religion in the same Amendment in which it forbids the establishment of a religion. There is a difference. The only religion being established in the U.S. right now is secularism/Marxism. And while secularism/Marxism is being established--there are serious efforts about to forbid the practice of the one religion that forms the core of our founding principles, Christianity. |

scaredstiff As I recall, my first post was to another member of the club who, I believe, was sadly ill-informed and as a consequence posted a rather disparaging comment about Christianity that appeared to have virtually no connection with logic or the historical evidence. I was hoping she could in some way defend her disparagement. She has not--probably because she cannot. Also, as I recall, you chimed in with a comment with both a further disparagement of Christianity and a political comment. So you did "start a theological or political debate" with me. If you did not want to start one, why did you? You also accused me of ignorance regarding Marxism. I haven't heard any discussion of the ideology whatsoever from you. This leaves me with the perhaps unwarranted conclusion that your accusation is an empty challenge from someone who, himself, does not know what he is talking about. I find that this is not unusual. I much prefer to engage in debate with people who are capable of presenting a cogent argument, rather than with people who arrogantly assume that they know something--then when they are confronted with a well presented informed opinion, withdraw from the debate. The withdrawal often contains some snide comment suggesting that I am the one who is hard-headed and unresponsive. Well, I must ask, what does it say about the person who withdraws without, apparently, the ability to put up a cogent argument? One can test my hard-headedness by presenting a sound argument, and considering my response. But a withdrawal presents its own evidence of hard-headedness. "Silence" screams loudly, "I'm not hearing you. I'm staying where I am in my thinking. You have nothing to offer of relevance to me." OK. Prove it. By the way, in a previous post you stated that you will fight on my side for my right to believe what I do. I thank you for that. You also expressed some apprehension regarding my willingness to do the same for you. I want to assure you--of course. I have spent my life fighting for the freedom of all humanity to believe what they wish--no matter how foolish. I served in the U.S. Army for a total of twelve years, 1.5 years in combat, for the cause of freedom. My arguments on this site on the matters we have been debating, are just one avenue of my continued effort to promote ideas that will defend your freedom to believe what you wish. I believe you are sadly mistaken in your choice of religions. It does not surprise me that you are scared stiff. I am not--because I have confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ, based upon faith, yes, but, also upon a logical evaluation of historical and existential evidence. |

peterliberty How can you talk about "logic and factual historical evidence" when everything, in your eyes is ruled by an hypothetic all-knowing being? By the way I never intended to look arrogant but I would be in a bad position to debate with you on any serious subject due to my "unfluent" english ( its bad you aren't pentecotist we coulod have debeted in french...). Let's call it a draw as we are both stalemate...Farewell, see you in Hell. |
