Freakin' Hollywood Marines.
Bad as Squids. :)
But he was still a Marine.
A lot more than those with the derogatory comments can say.
Hey, John Herring, tell us how your military experience has made
you
into a better person and a real Christian, as evidenced by your
posts here.- Hide quoted text -

As usual, you come in uninformed... For instance, you don't have
to be
"good" to be a Christian, you only have to believe. Now go ahead and
tell me where I am wrong, and while you are at it, tell us about
your
Lobsta' boat!
Oh, there must be more than that to being a Christian, although if
it is
that easy, it certainly explains many of horrors committed by "good"
Christians.- Hide quoted text -

Yup, as many as by "good" Muslims, or "good" Jews.. Those folks who
commit horrors are only considered "good' by themselves and their
followers.. Unlike "good" liberals from the looney left who are pretty
much the mainstream, you know, intolerant, selfish, and lacking any
real moral core..

There are lots of rules "good Jews" have to follow in order to be
considered good Jews.

I suspect your understanding of Christianity is suspect. I've had
the privilege of some friendly discussions the last few years with
some nuns and priests in academia, and in addition to exchanging
pleasantries, we do discuss what a "good" Christian would say or do
under various scenarios. Though I am not a Christian, I agreed
completely with the nuns that there are rules for being a good
Christian, and they go way beyond simply "believing."

I think you are getting Catholics and Protestants confused. They are
not one in the same.

The other day here I mentioned the Sermon on the Mount. Following
those precepts and rules probably is a good start.

Depends upon your Creed.

Well, if Protestants can behave anyway they want in life, so long as
they "believe" Jesus is their saviour, then it is, at best, an amoral
religion.

I understand the Protestants engage in Christianization in Central and
South America. Kinda makes one want to puke.

Your nuns and priests were the first to convert the masses in Central
and South America as well as Asia. Does that make you want to puke as well?

*My* nuns and priests? I'm not Catholic.
