n23x 0 #76 September 11, 2008 Is there a difference between asking a god for guidance, and 'following god's directions'? What about claiming to 'know god's will'? .jim"Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 806 #77 September 11, 2008 Wow. Amazing how differently we can see the same video clips. Just amazing. YOU start a thread about her KNOWING God's plan and she's here to carry it out. She never said any such thing. She did (as I repeatedly state) what ANY leader would typically do...ASK FOR PRAYERS. We ARE looking at the same video I presume, as I clicked on your link. I have no desire to piss you off. I was simply trying to discuss a topic you started in a forum. I expect that's why we post them here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what we have to pray for, that there is a plan, and that it's God's plan." I'm all for praying for military men & women, but she scares the absolute shit out of me - NEVER blindy follow someone who claims to know God's plan.T.I.N.S.

mirage62 0 #79 September 11, 2008 Quote That's what we have to pray for, that there is a plan, and that it's God's plan." I guess the way I see it is that she is saying we need to PRAY that what we are doing IS GOD's plan. Nothing more than praying that we are making the right decisions. I just don't see anything wrong with that. I also don't see ANYTHING wrong in not believeing in prayer or God. I do have a problem with people who seem to get worked up over people who do. And PLEASE skip the lecture about all the bad things associated with religion. I understand them, there is enough to go around on all sides.Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
