Especially relative to the remaining Christians who might think so.
Chances are, those particular Christians have no clue that Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet of God and that the Islamic Allah is the same God that Christians supposedly strive to honor.

Hey, at least they aren't accusing him ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/greyl/45 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 02:47:14 Does it make you feel better to believe that? Can you consider that some of the responses here might be from people who believe that Earth and its community of life should be regarded with reverence and not demeaned by platitudes born of wishful thinking?

The indigenous human cultures that provide diverse examples of how humans can live with... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/greyl/43 Mon, 09 Jul 2007 16:40:51 Those threads stand on their own - they indicate nothing about superiority anywhere else, nor do they argue for any particular side of the 9/11 debate. They're a "let the chips fall where they may" encouragement for critical thinking.

The idea is that the truth has little chance of hiding from people who are equipped with the tools of critical thinking, and that false claims have little cha... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/greyl/44 Mon, 19 Mar 2007 02:05:58 "Dick, ... http://zinzang.com/du/bushbigjoint.jpg

Believe that this life isn't your only life, that your next lives will be incrementally better.
Believe that this Earth isn't the real world, that the afterlife is your primary concern.
Believe that aliens, angels, channeled entities, or divine prophets are the best source of knowledge for how to ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/greyl/39 Mon, 08 Jan 2007 00:20:54 Every salvationist religion has varieties, but the crucial similarity remains. They all assume humans are divinely flawed using one turn of phrase or another. It's very difficult to see this from inside our culture because it's so pervasive. Salvationist religions [b]only[/b] exist within our culture, because they are the product of only our culture.

I think the main point made was that the chronic dishonesty and CYA of the bushadmin helps to foster the conspiracy theorists. That's a point which makes me hate the bushadmin even more. It makes the task of eliminating wacky conspiracies from the lexicon of the left all the more difficult.

It ended up under a blanket on the couch and someone sat on it and splintered the neck. It began life as a Kramer "Eddie Van Halen" strat copy (that red white and black thing) and I couldn't bear that, so my first step was painting it. Well actually my first step was to take ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/greyl/3 Thu, 19 Jan 2006 06:25:56 Guillotine - an audiodaguerreotype http://www.cosmicseed.net/assets/Sounds/greyleonard-Guillotine.mp3
