escapee Gotta give some credit here. Lets not be hypocrites. Man up or girl up. apologize or get the facts. That post sounds like anti-fundamentalist sermon illustration. Did a Marine also punch him in the nose?

Just so you know, RE: classless “not man enough” comment, escapee is actually a female victim of a hard core fundy family. I have no idea the validity of what she’s stated. Maybe had you confused, or who knows what. Not everyone is comfortable using their real names

You misunderstand his point – the Confederate flags which use the saltire are not the same as a simple St. Andrew’s cross; in the same way, the Nazi party in Germany used the Hindu swastika as the basis for their Party flag. The historical resonance of both modern flags is specific in the same way, having little or nothing to do with the older roots of the designs used.
Incidentally, the designer of the Confederate flag claimed that he was using a St. Andrew’s cross for its heraldric connotations, not as a religious symbol. Attempts to make the Confederate flag some sort of ueber-Christian historical thingie are false to fact.

Bob 3 taught about lying, gossiping and making stuff up? Good to know, since he and his father perfected that craft.

I got a girl in your youth group pregnant? Don’t remember that. What was her name? Maybe it’ll jog my memory. And then I married someone and abused her? Don’t remember that either. Again, maybe you’d care to jog my memory with a name? As for the Bill Rice Ranch – yes, remember those summer camps very fondly – but I’m guessing you were sleeping during Jack Mount, Paul Levin, and Bill III’s sermons on lying, gossiping, making stuff up, and just generally being a sorry-butted slime-ball. Oh, by the way, whats your name? Since you were not man enough to sign it to your post! If you like eMail me directly at president@bibleschool.edu
