salyavin, responding to your question: will there ever be an atheist president or prime minister. I'd say anything is possible. But some things, events, etc. are more probable than others.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Creationists thwart mammoth bid!
salyavin, separation of church and state is an idea that some countries aim for. imo I think that's because most religions have become corrupted. But then again, so have most governments! hmmm, how come two negatives don't make a positive in this case?!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Creationists thwart mammoth bid!
Evidently some of the Anglicans aren't sure if England actually IS a Christian country: 27 April 2014 Last updated at 10:36 ET Britain is a 'post-Christian' country says former Archbishop Britain is now a post-Christian country, the former Archbishop of Canterbury has said. Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, Rowan Williams said Britain was not a nation of believers and that the era of widespread worship was over. It comes after Prime Minister David Cameron said people in Britain should be confident of its status as a Christian country. Deputy PM Nick Clegg said the Church and state should be separated. Writing in the Church Times, Mr Cameron said Christians made a difference to people's lives and should be more evangelical about it. This prompted a group of 50 public figures to write a letter insisting that the UK was a non-religious and plural society and that to claim otherwise fostered alienation and division. 'Committed believers' Lord Williams, who retired from being the leader of the Church of England in 2012, said: If I say that this is a post-Christian nation, that doesn't mean necessarily non-Christian. It means the cultural memory is still quite strongly Christian. He added: But [Britain is] post-Christian in the sense that habitual practice for most of the population is not taken for granted. A Christian nation can sound like a nation of committed believers and we are not that. Equally, we are not a nation of dedicated secularists. It's a matter of defining terms. A Christian country as a nation of believers? No. A Christian country in the sense of still being very much saturated by this vision of the world and shaped by it? Yes. The current Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, has supported Mr Cameron. On his blog he wrote it was a historical fact (perhaps unwelcome to some, but true) that UK law, ethics and culture were based on its teachings and traditions.

Well, the main paper seems to ignore all but the most blatant and egregious
enormities of the local politicians. The capitol city's current mayor Steve
Benjamin replaced Bob Coble who was by all accounts one crooked sob. But
Benjamin, the first black mayor ever of Columbia, SC has the distinction of
starting his tenure with putting a woman in the hospital. The night he won the
election he apparently stayed up all night celebrating and then at about 5:30
am he was on his way to an interview when he rammed the car of a waitress who
had just gotten off work. The accident put her in the hospital in critical
condition.
The city cops who investigated refused to turn the investigation over to the
state police, even though they technically were investigating their own boss.
They also issued a ticket to the woman who was driving uninsured. Witnesses
told the police and the news media that the mayor had been driving without his
headlights on (it was fully dark at the time). The cops never administered a
breathalyzer test, they also did not initially charge Benjamin with driving in
the dark with no lights. He denied having done so for a while, then said he
did. Other witnesses also said Benjamin was texting on a blackberry device at
the time of the accident, but he has never admitted it. Eventually he agreed to
an undisclosed settlement with the woman.
He has also made it clear that whoever puts money in his pocket gets city
contracts etc.
As to separation of church and state, the governor of SC Nikki Haley is an
Indian woman her parents are Sikhs and she was raised as a Sikh. But when she
married her white bread husband she claims to have embraced Jay-sus. Religion
was a big issue in the election and her behavior since then has shown that she

Re: [FairfieldLife] Creationists thwart mammoth bid!
Come on down here and you'll see - some of those folk like the feller that was
mentioned who was in the wedding with his pistol behind his back don't know
nuthin' about the Anglican Church, but were you to mention it to folks like
what there are around here, they would treat the idea of it with a good deal of
suspicion. Hell, in these parts Protestants don't even consider Catholics real
and proper Christians and I ain't kiddin. I also know some folk here in SC who
are members of independent churches and they don't consider anyone outside
their own church to be real Christians.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Creationists thwart mammoth bid!
Actually, Episcopalianism (Anglicanism) is Protestant. But it looks too Catholic for some fundamentalists and other Protestants to be comfortable with it. My parents both came from long lines of Presbyterians. Although they weren't at all religious, they were scandalized when my father's brother converted to Episcopalianism. If I remember correctly, my uncle's second wife was Catholic. For him to convert to Catholicism would have been just too much given the family heritage, so they compromised on Episcopalianism. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mjackson74@... wrote : Come on down here and you'll see - some of those folk like the feller that was mentioned who was in the wedding with his pistol behind his back don't know nuthin' about the Anglican Church, but were you to mention it to folks like what there are around here, they would treat the idea of it with a good deal of suspicion. Hell, in these parts Protestants don't even consider Catholics real and proper Christians and I ain't kiddin. I also know some folk here in SC who are members of independent churches and they don't consider anyone outside their own church to be real Christians.

Who could not like Joel Osteen.

Bizarre
story. It's hard to believe people still actually
believe that the Earth is only 6,000 years old.That's a
lot of cognitive dissonance you'd have to be coping with
these days. Probably why these maniacs have their own

cavorting happily together..
Each

creation than it is the tooth fairy. Everyone
knows there
are trees demonstrably older than 6,000 years. And
if the Ark landed in Turkey, why can't you find
kangaroos outside of Australia?
I
say they should have to prove the Earth is only as old as
the Bible says or put up with the new state fossil. You
can't go around controlling what everyone sees by
banning anything you disapprove of because your religion
tells you otherwise! Can you?
