I'm not generalizing about Christian conservatives. I know plenty of Catholics and mainstream Protestants who are conservative and would never consider the "money code" thing seriously. The group I'm referring to are less sophisticated followers of the so-called "prosperity theology" touted primarily by televangelists. The Caucasian, and mostly older, followers of the movement are almost exclusively conservatives and are part of the demographic targeted by conservative talk radio and media- the same demographic targeted by the ad in the OP.

Bob do you ever notice how you pick fringe elements of places and then sort of make it "seem" as if you are talking about everyone?
I put seem in quotes because I do not accuse you of doing it on purpose. But you like to argue by taking one element you know is absolutely wrong, and then applying that argument to the other side as a whole.

Danny- My last post CLEARLY stated that I was not speaking of everyone. Reread it.
Also note that you often simply characterize everyone you disagree with as "liberal," painting with your own broad brush. |

Ummm Bob think about it. I disagree with a HUGE part of a liberal agenda.

And you use the word "liberal" as a broad brush just as you regularly accuse others of when they use the word "conservative."
It's a lot more complex than that. For example, you frequently refer to the President as a liberal progressive (which is actually redundant since progressives are, by definition, liberal, though some are a bit farther left than mainstream liberals). But many progressives and liberals feel that he is actually too far to the right on many issues. But you just broadly put everyone to your left on a particular issue into the same boat. Remember the biblical saying about pointing out the mote in someone else's eye while ignoring the log in your own? |

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

I see what you mean. Like when you accuse others of attacking a source meaning they have no point then you do it yourself. I get it thanks.

Bazinga!!
Full credit to you my friend, I stand corrected..... $110 for something I can get from my local Baha'i bookshop for $29, or even for free online. Heck I even have the original Arabic calligraphic one with gold leaf paper and we got that for less than $100 The wonders of free-market capitalism huh? (I guess this explains why no-one's buying lol) Thanks again for showing me something I never knew Kam

I've been looking for advice on making money in the Bible. Location is important--keep looking if it takes you forty years. Look for a place flowing with "milk and honey"--that is a desert that has enough rough vegetation to keep goats happy and lots of bees growing in dead lion's heads. St Paul was a tentmaker, and he never really got rich doing it. Jesus was a carpenter, and evidently didn't have much to show for it either. What did Amos say about making money? About the poor, the homeless, the immigrant, the widow and the orphan?
The Bible doesn't seem to be such a good reference on getting wealthy. It doesn't focus on the most successful people of the time and their ideas, like you would expect a success book to do. Why listen to bedouin sheepherders when we should be paying attention to Herod, Caesar, Pilate, the wealthy Sadducees and the other people of that time who actually were successful at making money. |

I'm looking for a way to pour some magnetized water into camels' humps, thus shrinking their essential molecular structure during the subsequent dehydration process, so that they might then fit through a needle's eye. Would anyone know of a magnetized water on the market that might be able to facilitate that?

Selling bibles seems to be best profit from them.
