Thanks, man. It'd be nice if you could leave an occasional prime rib sandwich and a dry martini (Tanqueray X or Plymouth if you have it, with olives) on the back porch as well.

Bzz! Bad guess. You really haven't been paying attention, have you? I've said repeatedly, I'm a securities lawyer. I do deals. I don't take a cut off the top, I facilitate transactions that might not otherwise happen. You, on the other hand, are a consistently negative presence. A cloud of negativism. You pop up every now and then, toss off a few insults, and then disappear into the ether for another couple of months. Sort of like a seasonal mosquito. |

Suddenly a "liberal" principle? Since when were liberals not allowed to have anything to do with God? I never did understand why people think religious liberals (esp Christians) somehow don't exist. They're like conservative athiests...they exist. TheoLib...I like it. |

Sure they exist. But you're confusing two types of liberalism. You're speaking of people who are religious but are politically liberal. Religious liberals can also refer to religion itself. If you're speaking of politically liberal, sure, there are people who are religious, not in their religious views, but in their political views. But if you're speaking purely of religion, religious liberals are just as dangerous to religion as political liberals are to politics. I asked you once to tell me what you thought being a liberal was, and you declined to answer. That's fine, I'm not goint to push you on the matter - but I will tell you one of the biggest areas of rot and decay to society that results from liberalism, whever an infection of it breaks out - relativism. Relativism weakens whatever host it infects. When it is applied to religion by the religious Left (as opposed to political left) the result is a religion where all the foundations of that religion are weakened, reinterpreted, reshaped to fit a PC agenda. It has no absolutes any longer, as absolutes are seen by those infected with the disease as something the "unenlightened", ignorant "fundamentalist" hold to. In truth, relativism is a cancer that is eating away at both religion and politics, and as a result, society in general. Evidence of it can be found everywhere you look. |

(Second only to efficiency "experts," who tell their clients to fire people for taking personal days.) There should be a sort of Godwin's Law on the Internet where the argument is lost when all you can do is attack someone's profession. |

OT, OT, OT! You have got to read more closely! For those of us who hold views outside of the accepted views on TNCR, it is not possible to be just a traitor here. You also have to be a coward and you have to be mentally ill as well. Sheesh! Get with it man! Oh, I almost forgot! When you do not hold to the accepted views here, it is also best if you are dead -- usually by being shot, but not always. So, let's get this down. Because you do not always agree with the general mindset here, you are automatically 1) a traitor, 2) a coward, 3) mentally ill and 4) should be killed by gunshot. Now, ya got it?

Look at the context: Larry asked #6 to define a "liberal", and that is what #6 considers to be a liberal principle. I hold as you do that there are theists across the political spectrum (and even theist who hold that "God put us here with the purpose of helping others"). So as a defining term for liberal it is inadequate. My point has nothing to do with "liberals not allowed to have anything to do with God" or thinking "religious liberals (esp Christians) somehow don't exist." I am just taking exception to #6's statement that "Believes that God put us here with the purpose of helping others" tells us anything about what a liberal is as distinct from a conservative. |

Personally, I figured it stood for Little Brains. Based on what he's posted, I see virtually nothing of substance, beyond some small bits of business common sense that anyone ... even a lawyer ... already knew. |
