Miller has done nothing wrong. He has simply quoted what he has seen and read in the Bible, and he has not changed or subverted those words. Miller is a God fearing man who does not question the word of God, or think that he knows better.

It is interesting to see the Preacher attempting to prove Miller is some sort of beast by using a quote from Thomas Jefferson... a man who owned slaves even after becoming an author and signatory to the Declaration of Independence.

The fact that Thomas Jefferson held on to arcane beliefs does not diminish the greatness of our Nation, and the past and present practice of slavery among men does not diminish the word of God in the Bible. Atheists and Agnostics like nca225, King, or Mustela frenata are always looking for any reason to justify their denial of God. Yet I've heard some of them crying for God to help them as they were dying.

Once, the world was mostly populated with slaves, serfs, and subjects. We still have remnants of those times today with dictatorships and all powerful rulers who enslave virtually their entire populations in some manner. We have evolved and changed... and not necessarily for the better.

One thing that hasn't changed is the idea that men should have inalienable rights and freedoms. It took some time for that to take hold here in order to form a more perfect union. But it is still not 100% perfect. Far from it. The fact that Liberal left Democrats wish to subvert and take away our freedoms (such as our 2nd Amendment) proves that it is Democrats... not Miller... who need to be feared and rejected.


What would Miller's point have been in making that statement about what the Bible does or doesn't contain regarding slavery, if not some tacit approval because the Bible doesn't prohibit it? Anyway, Miller can speak for himself. I'm sure he doesn't require you to defend or explain his beliefs.

My point, if I had one, is that one probably SHOULD be questioning the word of God if one's god is telling you it's okay to have slaves. Perhaps when God was speaking, someone wrote it down wrong. Without confirming or denying the existence of God, it should be clear to anyone that the Bible and other holy books are giant games of password, played down through the centuries. The Literal Word of God? How good was the the guy who translated the Bible from Aramaic to Greek and Latin?

And what do you know about what I'm looking for to deny or confirm the existence of God. Pure speculation on your part. As always wild conjecture based on the most minimal of facts. Get back in your basement Keith. Take the meds. Get the OCD under control. Or call up your daughter and show her what you write here. Let her be so proud of her dad for the way he can keyboard warrior.

What a joke.

Should we go back to those times Keith? Is that what you'd like? Here another one happily hanging himself, seeing as he's got enough rope.

As I've said before, you give the rest of us supporters of the 2cd and gun rights anywhere a bad name.
