Amen.

No (and you know quite well what your response implied), that is not true. You may think you are a master of double-speak, but they are obvious to all. Therein lies the transgression.

Nor should you be. It violates the TOS. You think it's cute, but IMO it is hurtful. Shame on you.

I was going to hide your remark, Hyper, but I'll leave it so people can see how empty I think you really are.

Perhaps. I believe my son has already done that though.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWAJB40K_-Q

Hyper, I too agree about the "thees and thous." I have recently learned, through the passing of my son, that God is also into hip-hop. Never again will I restrict the work of God through my lack of understanding of His ways which are far above ours. Peace.

Please reconsider, Dan.

Thank you all. I'm still around. Just hard to write anything now. Peace.

I think, Dan, you need to define your concept of pacifism. To me, it means non-participation in war or conflict but not non-involvement. A person who refuses to bear arms in war can/will serve by being a medic, truck driver or supply person. Being a pacifist, to me, does not mean you dont care, it is more that you prefer peaceful means above violence and, I am sure, there are active as well as passive pacifists. A person who uses violence or supports war as a means to an end is the more uncaring, for they have little regard for human life, IMO.

I would like to see this topic stay on course in regards to pacifism. God's ways are not our ways, so God, IMO, is not a pacifist. He doesnt seek peace, He brings it. I am not a pacifist. I do try to be a peacemaker. I believe in defense against aggression when peaceful means to avoid it have failed.

(Mod post) While it appears that this subject might belong in a different topic area, I think it better to remain here as it pertains not to religious beliefs (although religion may play a part in the determination of one's stance) in general, but the attitudes and personalities of ULC ministers of all faiths. I will give my personal answer to the question a bit later.

Universalism It's all the same **

Sorry, Crzyme, I just dont dig your ** .

Okay, all is good. Enjoy.

May your time spent on vacation be a blessing to you and your family. See you when you return. (are we still friends?) Peace, RR

Be careful, Bp, that you dont get it in the foyer with a candelabra!

Thanks.

I think he practices falafel.

they are in my prayers, Al.

Me too. Hope you are doing well. Also, I dont think chicken tenders are much better than a bacon cheeseburger, healthy wise. As long as there's a beer in the equation, it aint so bad, brother. Peace.

Very sound advise, HH. I agree.

The senselessness in arguing over humankind's jots and tittles. We strain at the gnat and swallow the camel.
