your actions and thoughts in your life have to do with the Bible, thats why I made the reference.

You are assuming again. I never once said I was a practicing Christian. I just said I was a Christian you can be a Christian and not have Christian actions. That is unless you believe you can lose your salvation. I believe once saved always saved.

well thats a ton of info right there. Then I take it back I had no idea that you are a non-practicing Christian. Don't think I have ever heard anyone take that approach to their faith.

So would that imply that regardless of any actions you take post-salvation you will enter the kingdom of heaven?

By practicing I mean I do not attend Church on a regular basis. I am what some would call back slidden. I have not found a Church I am comfortable with my last Church got away from Gods word and I left and havent found a Church home yet.

Yes and I will have to answer for my sins. And not attending Worship services will be one I will have to answer for.

This is certainly not what we stand for as a nation. GB set us back 50 years.

I just finished reading that article. I'd say more than 50 years -- more like 250.
For those who will almost certainly counter that the guy was just a clever terrorist who managed to beat the system, I will admit that there is a very slim possibility that this is true. I doubt it, if only because the man refuses to be as hostile toward the US as he could be, IMO. And regardless, we as a nation do not tolerate torture and the abandonment of due process.

There certainly wasn't any hugs and kisses for this guy, eh? Seems like your basic family man that was falsely accused. And then seven years later, he was released. I'd say he has a good case against the US government.

I watched his interview and the most important thing to notice (as you mention) was his lack of hostility towards the US. To me that is astonishing. He mentioned that it was not the US people that were authorizing his treatment, it was the few at the top. He seems to be a very credible person.

You are so completely random. You are an analogy black hole. Things go in and never emerge due to inane gravity. I just don't know where it comes from sometimes.

Dawg, this guy was innocent = not a murderer. Bundy = serial killer (murderer). not sure how much clearer it could be.
then do you think that because he is an arab from Algeria that he must be a murderer? sounds like a racist statement to me.
