Where is he anyway? I'm getting worried.

Re: Fewer memebers?

Doubtless it will turn out to be no more than a misunderstanding. It may well be that a few of the more evangelistic young men are simply preparing a plan in case of attack by atheists. These training exercises go on all the time. That's why we bear arms as a well-regulated militia. Read your Constitution.

Re: Fewer members?

There have always been Christian militias throughout the US, why do you assume they have anything to do with us?

We're quite content waiting on the LORD to smite you to hell

Re: Fewer members?

Prayers are many times more powerful than guns, friend.

We have successfully prayed for "natural" disasters to hit icelend AND IT HAPPENED. Do you think the icelenders fear a couple nutcases with guns compared to their whole country being submerged in the sea?

Same thing with haiti. NOW they care about God. Conversion to Christianity has never been higher! Do you think waving around a few guns would have had the same effect.

Finally: it's not secular law enforcement that should be a target. It's secular law itself.

This is so true Brother, look what we've done with the Texas School board and they set the curriculum for the entire nation. At the end of this year we will gain more control of the government, and then by 2012, we should have a Godly leader back in the White House!

Guns are strictly for putting meat on the table and (in the US) protecting your property.

If you actually read this article, you idiot, you would have noticed they were from Ohio, not Iowa, where we live.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that there are still some inspired people aruond who are prepared to take a stand for Jesus. The only thing I have against them is that they violated Romans 13:1-2:

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Where is he anyway? I'm getting worried.

I'm sure everything will be alright. He is a sensible person, isn't he?

Praying for natural disasters? Yeah that works i'm sure.

Bite your sarcastic tongue, and read our prayers here, friend. You will notice that we started praying about a month before the eruptions in Iceland started. And remember, this volcano has been dormant for 200 years. Coincidence? Of course not. God answers prayers. Glory!

Re: Fewer members?

Yes I am obviously an idiot. Today I'm going to pray that some Iraqi insurgent gets blown up by a car bomb. Wow it came true. Coincidence?

Re: Fewer members?

I am glad we can agree on that.

Being an idiot is not an excuse: Romans 1:21 "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." Matthew 5: 22 "But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." Psalm 14:1 "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good."

Read the actual article, you blithering retard!

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) -- A volcano in southern Iceland has erupted for the first time in almost 200 years, raising concerns that it could trigger a larger and potentially more dangerous eruption at a volatile volcano nearby.

Iraqis blow themselves up every day. You might as well pray the sun goes up, of course those prayers come true. But it's not as if volcanoes erupt in Iceland every day. The point is, this volcano erupted for the first time in 200 years! One month after we started praying. Coincidence? Are you really that stupid?

[Tunahouse]

Re: Fewer members?

One month, two months, three months, two weeks? What's the difference? I could pray that "X" volcano blows up in "y" country and when it does claim that it was because I prayed for it. Are you really that stupid?

Sometimes volcanoes can lay dormant for as long as 3,000 years, so the fact that the Iceland volcano erupted after 200 years isn't impressive at all. Its called science.

Your mother must cry inconsolably for having given birth to such an exceptionally stupid person. Why are you breaking your old lady's heart?

Anyway, grow a brain, and then try to understand the significance of what happened. The important thing here is that there is no big difference between three months and two weeks, but there is a huge difference between 200 years and one month!

Suicide attacks in Iraq happen on a weekly basis, so prayers in that respect will come true within a couple of weeks at most. However, volcanoes do not erupt every day, which is the important difference here!

As you said yourself, sometimes volcanoes lay dormant for 3000 years. Isn't it then remarkable, that a volcano which has been dormant for centuries erupts not more than one month after we started praying? It could just as well have taken years, perhaps even centuries, for that volcano to erupt again!

But it erupted now, shortly after we started praying. How stupid do you need to be to not understand how small the chance is of this happening so shortly after we started praying? Clear proof that God loves us and hears our prayers.

If you pray that volcano x erupts in country y, and God does not hear your prayers, then the chance of this happening within such a short amount of time is ridiculously small. But if you want to prove me wrong, pray for a volcano to erupt in a country of your choice, and see if it will happen. If it doesn't happen within a shoprt time period, then it is clear that God answers my prayers, but not yours.
