More FSTDT for the day

 I know, I already posted once.  But it's apparently a good day...

 Queen Victoria Calls Shenanigans On You

  Why do christian women use drugs in labour if labour pain is punishment from god?
  for those of you saying it wasn't punishment have you forgotten their punishment for eating the fruit? suffering in childbirth remember? it's  punishment!  if he forgave them he would have stopped the pain himself surely! come on

 I sincerely hope that this person is not reproducing with anyone.  Didn't this view go out of style 150 years ago?

 
 Scary Vision

 I don't control Jim Dobson's calendar. However, why would you want to meet with Cal Thomas if he's going to write a defeatist book that goes against what you believe?

I respect Thomas too. However, writing good stuff about Ted Kennedy and teaming with a liberal to write another book about today's toxic political environment is not the best way to go.

It's not about legislating morality. It's about mobilizing Christians to do their duty.

If every one of the 40 to 50 million born again Christians in this nation voted, and voted correctly, our nation would be a different place. It would not be a utopia because that won't happen until Jesus comes back, but you could leave your doors unlocked at night and you would not be afraid to shop at the mall.

Imagine the U.S. Senate with 70 conservative Republican members and even a handful of conservative Democrats. A federal judge makes a bad ruling, and he or she is impeached, disbarred and imprisoned within a week's time.

Imagine liberal college professors who would be fired and blacklisted if they criticize this nation and try to stir up subversion.

Imagine every mosque in this nation with an FBI informant within their ranks. After which, most would be closed.

Imagine liberal churches losing their tax-exempt status if their speakers wax political.

Imagine child pornographers and gang members being hanged in public.

Imagine balancing the budget and paying off the national debt. You would keep a lot more of your money.

Imagine George Soros being deported and Michael Moore being exiled to Saudi Arabia.

All it would take to bring that about is for Christians to do their duty. We could bring this nation's government back to what it used to be. Obviously, it would not change the hearts and minds of most of the public, but it would make for a much better society.

Read Proverbs 29:2.

 Sometimes these people make me laugh, and sometimes...not.  This is one of the latter times.

"back to what it used to be"... in the late 17th century, maybe?

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

That might be a touch advanced...

Well, you can't go much further back and still have something you can call "this nation".

They don't like to be confined by that pesky history and fact thing.

Indeed, why shouldn't you take the anaesthetic? Did you personally eat the fruit? No? Then why accept the "punishment"? That's my logic. Why should I suffer for something a mythological ancestress supposedly did? That's the most moronic argument I've ever read.

Because Eve made us all evil women, that's why. /sarcasm

Apparently someone took the verse that says women shall bring forth children in pain, and in the medieval period (I think) this was translated to women had to suffer.

Also, remember, much of the time births were attended by midwives, and we all know how suspicious those women with their herbal knowledge are. They might use (gasp) witchcraft.

Queen Victoria's use of chloroform made the whole thing much more acceptable.

It horrifies me that the ideal Evangelical Nation is a fascist totalitarian state.

Join the party.

You would think they would be pro-anesthetic. All the more likely to get people to pop out babies for them....

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

But then people might enjoy it, and that would be wrong.

Is pain during childbirth really punishment? I thought the verses in Genesis about how things would change after the eating of the fruit were more descriptive of what could be expected because of the fallen nature of humanity - not God zapping people.

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

The verse they usually quote specifies the female.

There's also the whole bit with menstruation being viewed as Eve's curse.

Oh Puhlez

Grrr, argh.

I love how only the second post's author says that only liberal churches would lose their tax-exempt status if their speakers wax political. It goes both ways, you idiots.

And the first idiot? I want that guy sliced open without the benefits of painkillers.

Re: Grrr, argh.

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

But we'd be so much better off if the government told us what to do in our church....

As for the first guy, you and me both.
