Yeah, I'd take meth so I can do my paper better. Right.

If you really thought it would help you do better on the paper, why not? You believe that the ends justify the means.

I have no regrets.

There is a difference between no regrets and no lessons learned. My point is that you can't limit yourself effectively and you are refusing to allow anything outside yourself limit you. This is a long-term recipe for disaster.

no you don't respect the law
You are right, I don't respect the law.

Do you even read the Bible, ever? I don't remember the particular verse, but the Bible basically says that law and government are established by God for a purpose, and that we are meant to obey it. Just think - where would mankind be if there was no law or government? - It would be chaos, with people running amock and killing and stealing from each other. Would you prefer that?

You know, until you get some Biblical back-up, your argument is pretty weak. Otherwise, you might as well be quoting supervillains (which at first I thought you were).

Heb 13:17
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.

I don't see it as a recipe for disaster at all. Being limitless is hardly a bad thing.

Research John Locke and social contract theory.
To answer the question, yes, I would prefer "anarchy" in a sense; completely free individuals with no government. Government is NOT established by God, rather, it is established by man to suppress the individual's rights. So would I like it? Yes.

I think we should probably move this to "open discussion" on that note.

Unnecessary RED. Even though you may not agree, that doesn't make it dumb. Plus, we don't need that stuff here.

Why on earth do you play Redemption, the Bible-based card game?!

What's your point?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #111 on:** January 30, 2009, 05:55:47 PM »

Must you be a Christian (or believe in the Bible) to play Redemption? I think not. This isn't an elitist game.

Therefore, your logic has no basis.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #112 on:** January 30, 2009, 05:57:40 PM »

I don't see why you would play a card game based on the Bible if you didn't believe in it. Could you explain to me why you do play Redemption instead of, like, Yu-Gi-Oh or something?

Is believing in the Bible in the Apostle's creed?

What are everyone's denominations here? To be honest, this disbelief in the Bible offends me, but I'm not sure if stuff like that is okay in Catholic or Lutheran churches or something.

Colin Michael · « **Reply #120 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:10:26 PM »

The Bible is not required to be a Christian, the Apostle's Creed defines catholic (liberal connotation) Christianity.

Red · « **Reply #121 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:11:41 PM »

nice creed?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #122 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:13:02 PM »

Don't Catholics read Latin from the Bible every week, or is that just some stereotype or something?
