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."

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

This is how you twist and take out of context.. I never said I was a
"good" Christian, don't think John did either... Either way, most
Christians know there is no perfect Christian, and any Christian,
academic or otherwise that does not leave judgement of such to the
Lord is just an idiot and a hypocrite. And of course "you agree with
the nuns", however based on your history and the ideology, it's a non
starter as the alleged conversation probably never happened. Again, if
you really understood Christianity, you would know that. Now tell us
again about "Jesus on a stick at Christmas" Pffftttt... you are full
of ****, as usual...
