Do you really think that Republicans are that different from Democrats? Obviously on the surface you have your major differences in ideology, but the fact that you support Obama so loyally and think that Republicans are so very evil makes me think you are quite ignorant. Did you not notice the whole launching 122 missiles into Libya thing? What's up with that imperialist bullshit? Oh and how bout the whole economic "stimulus" plan? Can you really argue that it was any different than Bush's bailout? Throughout his campaign, Barack emphasized how he would put the money into the hands of the people, not the other way around. What about all his talks about moving away from the heated bipartisanship and bringing about cooperation to advance our national agenda? Bottom line is that Obama is full of shit. Everything he says is a load, and if you don't see past that, you are a moron. You guys need to get over your political parties, they mean nothing. Start voting on the issues.
Anyways, I know this hasn't been the most articulate post in the world, but I'll leave with you a quote from 2007: ?The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. History has shown us time and again, however, that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the Legislative branch.? I'll let you guess who said it. |

at 4:17 PM, Tuesday March 29, 2011 EDT yes, it's interesting to read studies of the oldest found manuscripts. In the past many discrepancies or wrong translations have been swepped under the rug. Now many original better translated versions come to light and there are a few suprises to say the least.
Things like Christs virgin birth for example have all been "added" to spice up the story |

I have been looking for the "orginal better translated versions". Are these newly discovered old manuscripts (A.D. 100-300) or are they newly discovered newer manuscripts that appear not to have directly arisen from the oldest ones? |

at 10:48 PM, Tuesday March 29, 2011 EDT AD 100-300 is before the council of nicea as such christian texts from that time period could do one of two things: lend insight into why and over what certain texts were chosen for the bible and/or how these texts were altered upon becoming a part of the nicean bible.
