"You appreciate the futility of Christ's words in that passage? "Woe" and, later, "how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?" The implication being that they won't.
You apply these words of Christ to those who comment here ... and that's love?"
No, I was using it as an example of hitting people in the face with their self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Not all the implications of the passage.

"Then this is a good time for you to exemplify turning the other cheek."
What makes you think I haven't done that?"
"it is in your posts, your language"
I suggest that you feel that way because you don't agree with me. When I read eople rail against Bush and attack him, I view them as harsh even though they are just expressing their opinion as I do.
"If you have children, does an "everyone else does it" argument work for them?"
I wasn't giving you an everyone does it argument, I was giving you a biblical one. I suggest you read Proverbs to understand what I'm saying when I say that I'm responding in kind.

"then perhaps you, as a beautiful christian and saint, and truly open-minded independent thinking intellectual could explain it to this despicable christian and sinner, and partisan liberal hack."
I never said that I was a beautiful Christian and saint. In fact, I'm not really much of a Christian. But I know one thing, I'm tired of this and won't be responding anymore to this thread. If you can't see, what everyone has agreed (even Lou Dobbs) was an omission to make McCain appear to support unconditional negotiation with Hamas, then that's up to you. Go in peace, my child.

oooh, this is about "unconditional"
who ever made the claim that mccain (or obama for that matter) supported unconditional negotiation with hamas? i never did. i don't believe that obama ever did. so what's the debate about here?
do we get to discuss how despicable it is for mccain to attack obama because moderates of hamas would like to see a diplomat (obama) as president instead of bush or mccain?
