Well what are you about Lance Muir
Are you doing what God has called someone else to
do?
Are you criticizing what you think someone else is
doing that God didn't tell them to do?
Are you hearing God as to what he wants you to
do?
How do you know you are hearing God since noone can
know truth according to you?
Operative _expression_ 'what they believe God has
called them to do'?
Let me get this straight JD.
By Rad Fundies you are talking about people who
believe Genesis as it is
written - Right??
PS What is wrong with the Carroll Dean's and the
Pat Robertsons of this
world? You may have to eat those words one day
because both are busy
about what they believe God has called them to do
and who are you to
denigrate another man's servant. O thou Romans 14
theological expert...
It is a shame we will not be able to finish this thread, I
suppose, but I must say something here --
the conflict (speaking for myself) is not between science and
religion. It is between religion and fundamentalism
(radical fundamentalism, if you will.) Knowing that the first
step will not be last step for Rad Fundies, I prefer to deal with
the situation outside the school setting. The church has
done an excellent job in this regard with the High School population
-- but it has forsaken the University campus' without a
fight. Truth will win out if compared to that which has no
bearings. The failure, here, is with the church and its
seeming inability to continue with the college age population.
It -- religion - simply does not need to be in collegiate
curriculum to win the fight for the hearts and minds of the college age
student.
The church has done a shameful job with the older student, just as it
does with the unwanted-infant population. If the church
could place 1.4 million newborns each year -- abortion
would be EASILY defeated. But , as long as we think that
after birth, it is all up to the infant, well, the battle will
rage.
In short -- the fundies (and not they alone) do not
want the kind of involvement that would make victory in either venue
almost undeniable. I do not want the Carroll Dean's and Pat
Robertsons of this world running anything of an evangelistic nature.
