I didn't say I didn't think there was a possibility of something besides hell - you implicitly did by making the simple, bold statement that "everyone who doesn't get saved goes to hell." Excuse me for NOT putting words into your mouth and ASSUMING that you believed in limbo. Besides, it w...

I'd like to see proof, statistically speaking that you are the largest Christian denomination. And I'd like to see proof, doctrinally speaking that you have a differing mandate than the one quoted.

AnthonyByakko

So yes, anyone that hasn't accepted the "Christian God" and been baptized is going straight to hell. No matter how good a person you are.

FOR THE WIN.

Most awful statement in the history of mankind.

The issue of native americans losing their languages ties directly into their culture. One of the first thing that was done to try to eliminate their cultures was to force their children into schools where they could only speak English. Speaking their native languages was seen as allowing the nativ...

AnthonyByakko

I still don't see why a unifying language would "lose" "many cultures". I haven't seen one iota of evidence to support this hypothesis, nor any shred of proof that what is allegedly going to be lost "isn't worth" what is to be gained.

AnthonyByakko

Yeah; hundreds of billions of people in hell for wronging a god they'd never heard of - definitely something you don't need to be sure about. I'm not surprised you're so apathetic about the possibility. I mean what a downer, am I right?

AnthonyByakko

you don't get into heaven by repenting or worshiping God. You get in through being saved. If it was something like living as he did or by his rules, then none of us would get into heaven. So what you're saying is that the billions of Native North/South Americans who lived before the 15th century an...

What does the FSP have to do with how atheists are treated in America? This is the kind of s*** you do I was talking about last night, H_K. But to be serious for a moment, do you honestly believe any positive change (i.e., towards personal liberty/equality/justice/etc) in government is occuring wit...

However, despite China's growing influence in the global economy, large numbers of Chinese citizens have very little contact with the world at large, and the Chinese language (Mandarin and Cantonese) is spoken little outside of mainland China, bordering areas and Taiwan.

I don't know how this become a discussion of it, but I don't think it's inappropriate either. Now, if we were to discuss the manner, that might be another story. Because seriously, if we're suggesting that her hymen may have been broken masturbating (yet she immaculately conceived), are we suggestin...

I think you killed me in Gears of War!

If you people were really serious about changing s*** you'd join the Free State Project.

I don't recall diagnosing anyone else here previously. You almost had it there, too. But someone who hasn't "struck" originally can't 'strike again'. But it IS probably why you want a nanny state. You just keep your sick childhood to yourself.

Overnight office work, data entry. I like working nights, hence why I'm here at this time. You ever notice that no matter what discussion you're in, no matter where it is - religion forum, science, etc - you always end up arguing with me over American politics/government? Not that it is, in and of i...

AnthonyByakko

Luckily enough, I work with computers - surfing around a web board in the middle of the night is a perk. I'm surprised you weren't able to think of a better parting shot.

AnthonyByakko

I just get amazed at your hypocracy, thats why this native american thing fascinates me. you decry collectivism all over this forum, and then you argue for certain priviliages for a certain collective of people, which seems a tad hypocritical, which is why I keep coming back to it. I argue for cert...

And I clearly stated that not having to serve in the armed forces is a natural right. The right to be free from coercion or force - such as a coercive pledge or being forced to fight - are natural rights, just like any other. Edit: Jota is right again. There are people with work to do. Our discussio...

AnthonyByakko

For a non-American, you have a relatively good grasp of the U.S. framework Jota. I wish Americans knew as much about their country. Edit: Jota, hive_king doesn't argue. He watches the threads and waits for someone to say something he perceives has a potential weakness in, and regardless of his own b...

AnthonyByakko

Do you have a point, or is this more posturing?

AnthonyByakko

In a thread with people whom I might actually learn something from, and not a whiny kid who wants to change the subject every 3 minutes? In a thread where people might actually debate the issue, and not tangential issues ad nauseaum for the sake of appearances? Sure. Find me such a thread, and such ...

I was talking about state conscription, as was done during the civil war, not national conscription, can't you read? Usually considered by whom? And since you qualify your statement with "usually", under what circumstances isn't it considered such? Classically, democracy was fully rule by...

AnthonyByakko

Do you honestly think an eye-rolling smilie makes you seem any less ridiculous? Apparently this whole time all you wanted to do was discuss the Native benefits thing again. You're free to do so, in a thread where it would be relevant to the topic. If you want to keep discussing linguistics, and the ...

AnthonyByakko

We are a representative republic, which is usually considered a type of democracy. Usually considered by whom? And since you qualify your statement with "usually", under what circumstances isn't it considered such? Under certain state law, during the civil war, the only surviving male of ...

But language is one of the unifier of cultures, and implicit in your post, especially where you say The homogenization of earth, indeed, the confluence of many globalizing effects, will lead us to either continual unification, or the total destruction of civilization. is that eventually all languag...

AnthonyByakko

That doesn't make sense and is contrary to the concept of democracy.

Hint: We're not a democracy.

Now it would make sense if a natural human right was involved,

All rights are natural.

3 million? There are about 300 million people in the U.S.

And the answer is yes. Not that such a situation would ever occur anyways, but I'll keep humouring you.

AnthonyByakko

Are you stupid? Obviously, you asked "if everyone but you wanted one" - so when I say "you're f***ed" I am, of course, talking about YOU.

AnthonyByakko

No, it's a question that goes from the context of "unification of language" to implying an individual is for the "destruction of cultures." I don't know what crawled up your ass and died, but don't waste my time.

AnthonyByakko

You're f***ed.

AnthonyByakko

Don't waste my time with loaded and misleading questions.

Edit: Your comma is superfluous.

AnthonyByakko

I don't want a national pledge. I have the right not to have one.

AnthonyByakko

I disagree. I believe that as a necessity of evolution and of advancement, diversity of language, just like religion, will eventually become obsolete. The homogenization of earth, indeed, the confluence of many globalizing effects, will lead us to either continual unification, or the total destructi...
