Parking Issues or Assembly Issues or Kingdom (/Religious) Opposition & Freedom Issues?

This is certainly a story worth following...

Our founding fathers came to America to establish liberty and freedom of religion. They were careful to set up a system of government that allowed for three equal branches of government. We do not have a king or a monarchy and we do have the freedom to dissent. This includes the right to oppose leaders that we disagree with. This is guaranteed by our constitution!

I am puzzled as to why so many Christians are not only too timid to exercise their right to oppose the left and the power they now have, but they feel they have an obligation to pray for the success of these very elected leaders that are ever more boldly attempting to destroy our liberty. I DO NOT GET IT. If our forefathers came to this country and suffered to establish liberty, the least we can do is oppose the political leaders in this country who are trying to destroy it. This includes praying that they are not successful in their liberty destroying schemes and will be replaced in the next election by leaders that are concerned about our freedom of religion. Our prayers should be for the encouragement and success of leaders in America that are opposing this tyranny. I have yet to hear a single prayer for the loyal opposition to the leftists that now control every branch of our government. However, I regularly hear prayers for these leftist leaders that are methodically destroying the very liberties that our forefathers established. It is perfectly alright to pray that God will change their minds, but until he does, we should pray that they are unsuccessful in their agendas and they will be thrown out of office in the next election………….; Friday, May 29, 2009 at 12:34:00 PM PDT

It is a battle between worldviews, and we are looking to see which worldview can account for itself best. In that battle, there is no neutrality or default position. (August: Circular Reasoning; July 07)

While many in the church today, who having bitten off the principles of the world rather than swallowing the word of God, fail to recognize it, the truth remains that CHRISTIAN SKEPTICISM is not only our great heritage and long standing tradition, but also our Christian calling! (Swordbearer: Christian Skepticism – Our Great Heritage and Calling; July 07)

The key is how the different schools of thought withstand internal critique. Naturalism struggles with internal critique, because it is inductive by nature. Any of its conclusions can be viewed with skepticism, because we can never examine all the evidence in all relationships in all senses. It further refuses to admit to its own metaphysical components. For example, how can the naturalist prove the laws of logic by use of the scientific method, without being viciously circular? It is a metaphysical assumption held to by a groundless faith. (Puritan Lad: Team CS and the clash of the worldviews!; July 07)

If you say that God is “unnecessary in everything we know about”, how do you know that? Do you know “everything we know about”? Who are “we”? How did you come to know the meaning of the word “be”? You said that you don’t know where the universe comes from. How does that remove the necessity for God? At the very least, it is equally an explanation as any other if you don’t know. So then God is not removed from everything we know about, since the universe had to come into existence in order to exist. (Puritan Lad: Team CS and the clash of the worldviews!; July 07)

You mean to say that you actually have evidence that the universe wasn’t created? That would be monumental. Can you point us to this evidence? (Puritan Lad: Team CS and the clash of the worldviews!; July 07)
