Sorry, that should have been addressed to agent orange. Boy is my face red :-)
Tgender: If you knew about the chirality of the amino acids formed by random processes you would be embarrassed to be relying on the Miller-Urey experiments as a basis for your faith.
Chemical evolution or the arising of reproducing lifeforms from a pool of chemicals is a foundational and necessary step before all the rest of your beliefs could occur.
This is not demonstrable, in fact Miller and friends actually proved why it is impossible, though they did not realise it at the time because they were only trying to prove their hypothesis. Chemicals reacting in alone (without the 'guidance' of a chemical engineer) to produce amino acids (for example) produce approximately equal proportions of isomers (left or right handed molecules = chirality) which is disastrous for all of the many rna, enzyme, protein, chemistries we see in life today.
Since the first step cannot happen, all the rest is based on irrational faith that somehow it did happen.

Allah = 'God' as a generic name for deity. Yes, but because it is claimed as the specific name of the Muslim deity, Christians should not use it to refer to the one true God, Yahweh/Jesus.
Muslims will readily inform you that the person they call Allah did not choose Israel, does not have a Son, did not become the propitiation for our sins, etc ... As such, he is NOT the God of the bible.

No one expects a wiccan to obey the Lord. So why are you bothering to comment, this is nothing to do with you.
However, I would expect anyone with a 5th grade reading level to comprehend from the article that Noviana was a victim of the same attacks and also forgave, though acknowledging the difficulty to do so.
The Lord asks have YOU done the things He said to YOU. Pointing out how another servant is worse than you is much the same as thanking God you are not like the 'tax collector'. But to his own master he stands or falls - or do you believe you are greater than that scripture? The work our master commissioned you to do, is NOT to beatify some other as his, nor to demonize others as not, so get on with what He has commisioned YOU to do.
(And BTW your opinion does not force the Great King to decide as you have done. His grace and His power to save is so much greater than yours, so be careful not to re-form Him in your own image, that would be idolatry ;-).

Welcome to Sharia (and it's influence on the supposedly independant Indonesian judiciary).
Carry drugs out of Indonesia = Death penalty.

Photo in directory? The New Testament directs that those who are so-called believers who live in sin should be excluded from the congregation! Paul says "have nothing to do with them".

ifeelfine72: Still trolling for an argumentative response about remarriage? Do you know what Paul told Timothy about those who love to argue? Why is is it that you want to stir up division? Do you know what Paul told Titus to do with divisive people? Maybe you just want to let them know you are superior.
I think all of the Christians here would be united in saying they don't hate you but hate your sin. (Go on, I dare you to say you are without sin)
Everybody: The 1st rule of internet discussion is "Don't feed the trolls!".
P.S. It is possible that ifeelfine72 is actually an employee of CP who job is to stir up comments under several psuedonyms? I wonder how such an employee would respond to this suggestion :-)

SteveH20: Witty, clever, incisive, wise, 'steel-trap' rationality in your comments! (I am being facetious). If you really want judges who are not trained in the sciences to judge whether evolution or ID are religions, and then to make law about it, I suspect that one day very soon you will be outraged by another judge giving a judgment you don't like. Why don't you go back to the atheist message boards and congratulate each other on how much cleverer you are than everybody else.

BOC560: This is a copy and paste of comments you made elsewhere.
How many times do you post the same text so that you can subtly imply your own proud boast that YOU know what is correct doctrine?
To those that said "I am of Paul ... I am of Cephas ... I am of Christ" Paul the apostle said "are you not worldly". All of the divisive Christians were called worldly, including those who proudly said "I am of Christ" - they had their doctrine right, but their attitude was like yours.

Too right Watch-man! Citizen is inciting hatred against Christians by putting those strawman opinions into their mouths. She knows they are not representative of Christianity as a whole.
More to the point I suspect that the amount of time she puts into posting indicates she is an agent provocateur in the employment of CP to stir up discussion. Just ignore her in future.

pvlman: If you have doubts about what is Christ's way, you should ask him (if you are on speaking terms). 'sexpred lists are for protecting children' - yes, and the Anglican register of sexual complaints is also to protect kids AND people of all ages. Yes, when authority figure is suspected of taking advantage of someone under their influence it is reasonable to use that information to keep children and other vulnerable individuals from coming under the influence of that individual IF there is insufficient oversight of the relationship. As usual a beat up by the press and half-cocked responses by the usual protesters.

dgnymn: Are you just trying to stir up comments for CP? Or do you really equate the seriousness of adultery with reading a secular magazine? If so then you are out of touch with Christianity as described in the bible.

Guys - regarding torus - in all internet forums there is one important rule:
DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!
(And I suspect that a few of the regular names you see on the CP site are actually employed by CP to stir people up and get discussion going)
BOC560: What are YOU doing on the CHRISTIAN Post web site? He did not say he was on Craig's List (an online classifieds and 'for sale' site), he just mentioned an advert on it. Whether he heard from a third party about the ad or not is irrelevent, your personal attack is unwarranted. Maybe the Christians who put comments on this site should start making stereotyped allegations about you non-Christians.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
