You'll have to show me both were I protested a certain position and what you mean by a cultural imperialist and were I asserted that.

I may well be but I don't know what you are saying.

If you are saying that I believe Western culture has many strengths that are superior then the answer is yes. That other cultures, for whatever reason go in a different direction is this prerogative but I recognize that my culture (though I greatly fear for its future) will have superior medicine, technology, economics, military prowess and a life-style that I prefer.

I know nothing of Bickle. The thread starting by both misquoting him and then saying what is this stuff.

I gave NT explanation of the spirit realm.

Those seeking OT theism to be imposed are inconsistent with OT law (it was not imposed on non-believers who lived with in Jewish lands, at least with their private practices) not how the NT has replaced that for Christians or how Jews have replaced that through their own development.

Please slow down in your responses and reflect for a little longer before you respond. You're remarks are off-target.

Scared people are much more likely to follow authority figures than secure people. It's why detecting demons is a private gift of discernment held by the authority figure. The average person cannot themselves verify or deny the existence of these terrifying beings, but must just accept the judgment of the authority. So demonology is an obedience-inducing feature of religion.

Absolutely. They state the presence of a bad thing and offer the protection for it. Much like a crime syndicate racket. I offer you "insurance" from Guido who will cause you problems if you don't pay up.

What is your take on this?

Waste of good food and time and money. Good for the economy though. Maybe when I die, they will burn a few issues of Hustler, Penthouse and Playboy along with an assortment of sex toys for me to use on women in the next life. BTW, when they burn the paper laptops, do they burn a list of good sex sites? What a bunch of putzes. Guess superstition will never die out.

My uncle became a priest of one of those religions. Man didn't have a religious bone in his body but he did love the power of being able to tell people what to do. Google Adrian Lim singapore. Just because the guy doesn't make any money doesn't mean he isn't compensated. It can mean the compensation is in a different coin. For instance, if I got a hooker tonight, I give her money but she gives me nothing back. Nothing except a good feeling. So the compensation for my output of money is an output and a feeling of satisfaction.

Like the joke about outrunnng a bear, for the nomination, you just have to beat the other candidates, and is the bar really set that high at the present?

Botnst · #**128** 08-15-2011, 12:38 PM

No.

Would that be a live bear who is young and relatively agile or a bear that is ready to be put to sleep in a zoo or a teddy bear?

If you are talking about the Adrian Lim of 1991 'Tao Payoh ritual murder' fame..he defineately was ahead of his time. Sort of on the Charlie Manson genre.

You know that 'Hustler' isnt happening here-as ziggedy as they get is 'FHM Asia'.
Besides, who needs Playboy when all one has to do is take a stroll down into the Geylong district, and recieve live entertainment.

More baggage for Perry and Bachmann.

The country should model itself after Texas for sure.

One thing that surprised me when I watched a few video clips of Perry is how similar his speaking style and mannerisms are to the style and mannerisms of W. That can't be good for Perry.

That's exactly what I noticed as well, the resemblance was amazing.

Its going to be a huge turn-off for many potential voters.
