Generally republicanism refers to our style of government and not necessarily the GOP but whatever.
I'm simply curious to know what needs to be unbuckled. 12/27/2005 3:26:59 PM |

the whole Homosexuality will lead to Hell. The Fact that in the South the Pro War movement is more prevalent, and the whole pro Bush thing. I am sure this blog was done by some liberal hippy who is still bitter that Bush is president and people still say Merry Christmas down here.12/27/2005 3:28:24 PM |

Quote : | "So will this just be one of those "hip" church things where they follow up rhetoric with all the usual bs and focus on useless topics like keeping my virginity? The exact opposite actually. We’re looking to take a post-modern approach that breaks down all the traditional Christian rhetoric to find out what’s actually biblical and applicable in today’s church." | clearly states that this "church" or "movement" or whatever considers abstinence church "rhetoric" and non-applicable in today's church

i think its more like
"we shouldnt ignore sex and act like it doesnt exist until your married, or its some taboo subject that should be only mentioned if youre talking about total abstinence"
as opposed to
"sex before marriage is a-ok"
social justice is totally uncool. inequalities make the world go 'round. no upward mobility, through no means whatsoever!
and notice i didnt say anything anti/pro gov or business there, maintaining my political agnosticism and belief that everyone has flaws.
