1 wait a minute thw Dear leader said isam s a reglion of peace???Him and his saudi buddies are in agrement tat much i sure ,Rhymes u dont thik dubya could be wrong do u?

2 That depends.

I am willing to accept that Islam is, overall, a peaceful religion.

I also see that the religion of the Islamist terrorists is not at all peaceful.

Judging all of Islam by the terrorists is no different than judging all of Christianity by Jim Jones, David Koresh, and Fred Phelps.

And since i believe that the President is a mere mortal man, I have no problem believing him to have made an error on different issues at different times -- just as I am certain you sometimes make a comment that is lacking in spelling, grammar, and logic errors.

3 So now your saying that the reverand jim jones is within the pale of christindom?I would hardly equate my minor spelling errors with somones eternal destiny,last I checked a christian is someone who belives in the father ,son and holy sprit. All three equal in time space and eternity for more on this I would refer youto the authortive text on the subject called the HOLY BIBLE.There are manny editions to this text and given your knack for simplicity I would go for a text called the childrens bible...then mabey after some pogress we could get your wife to read from a good old n.i.v version.But for god sakes stay away from the king james version ...less you go out an try to stone someone who is a football player(insert levitcal law referance here). That being said and being a christian I am really intreasted how you could call anything that the jones cult did as being christian??What theiolgan are you .....nevermind I forget who Im dealing with...you compared Murtha to Hitler and Oswald.Enuff said...and your teachin children????Boy I wouldnt belive it if I didnt read it my self...history you teach history what kind special ed history ????

4 P.S does the staff and students at the school you teach at as well as the parents who intrust there children to know that you have a blog or is this done in secret (as I supsect much like your navy Village People fetishes of goly that might have been if not for my bad back so Ill just live through someone eles duty and cheer them on from the safty of my warm home...or as we like to call the Cheney doctrin) ???No realy do they and do try to ansewer the question as I am hanging on your every word...Jojo.

5 1) Personally, I prefer using the original Hebrew and Greek for scholarly work (or the RSV if I want an English Translation), and prefer the NKJV for devotional reading. The NIV has too much of an evangelical bias. My wife is partial to the NRSV. The theological discussions around here can be fun, given that each of us has a graduate level theological education, and she is a former pastor herself.

2) Shall I take your question as an implicit threat to interfere with my employment by contacting my school/district?

6 1.no not a threat but I just wanted info so as to formalize my prayers to the almighty to night for thoes poor students that the state has intrusted to your care weather I should include there parents and the school as a whole or just your poor class, you see being a student of history i take the subject seriously where as given your fondness for historical text and facts one can see that you dont. 2. Having a grad level theological ed and as so u described you still fail to anserw my question ? What comparsions are there between christindom and the reverand jim jones .....what do they have in comen .....where in any accept text of the holy bible will you find these ????Would you please give me the biblical referances that you base your hypothesis on?I wish you would quit the personal attacks an give reason for your statments ...are you able to do that just once???

7 I am not a theologian, a muslim nor a christian, however base on the discussion which I have come across between Jojo and Rymes with Right - is very interesting.  However I would like to comment something - that without moderation there will be chaos. It does not matter what religion you are - the more you condemn a certain sect, religion you will get retaliation.  Lets face it - what is going on in Iraq is nothing about religion.  Everything is happening behind the veil of religion - however its about money, oil and power thats all.  If the iraqis were the christian - I would not be suprise the circumstances will be similar.  We u have nothing - you will do anything to get what is yours.
