Which is why I only follow Jesus's Golden Rule, everything else was made-up afterwards. Jesus never mentioned having a bible, or a long conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Ireland. Jesus never mentioned having an inquisitions and crusades, and burning accused witches at the stake. He never mentioned protesting funerals with signs that say "God hates fags." "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you," Jesus said, "do ye even so to them..." (Matt. 7: 12). THAT is Christianity. It is all I practice, it has transformed my life. It is at the heart of the abolition of slavery. It is at the heart of ridding yourself of hypocritical tyranny. If you don't live the Golden Rule, you are NOT a Christian. You can't be a hypocrite and live this rule at the same time. It demands rigorous honesty, critical thinking, and the absolute willingness to let go of all beliefs and action that make one a hypocritical tyrant. The Golden RUle is not "I can do this and have that and go there and be free, but not THEM, the minority." The confederate states fought to live one of the worst hypocrisies in history. A bible-thumping people who would never want to be enslaved themselves, but thought it was okay to enslave others. It was TRUE Christians who led the way in abolition. The Golden Rule is supposed to evolve the mind, free it, not make it static in believes that crush other people. For if you follow this rule, you can't help but change, as you release yourself from belief systems that no longer work, that are ancient, that are hypocritical. If you want to be allowed the freedom to marry whom you want, then you must allow others to do the same. If you want to be able to be able to make end-of-life decisions for your life partner, then you must allow others the same freedom—it's that simple. No other passage in the bible matters. For this is Jesus' message. It is Christianity, plain and simple. Anything else is just man-made and selfish.

In Greek and not Aramaic?
The Golden Rule is not an invention of Jesus or of Christianity. Please stop with this nonsense.
This MHE guys spews a bunch of Bible scripture and then says he's "just stating the facts?" That's hilarious.

Mental retardation is no joke, son.
From the Bible:
Psalm 14:1 (NKJV)— The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God”…
2 Corinthians 4:4 (NLT)— Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They don't understand the message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
Revelation 12:9 (NKJV)— So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world…
And some quotes from Jesus Christ (all from the NKJV):
John 7:7— The world…hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.
John 15:18— If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
Luke 6:22–23— Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great…

Of course it is found within other religions and cultures, but I'm Christian, and my Lord said it the most important thing to practice, so I do. I never said he invented it, he ACCENTUATED it. Anything else doesn't matter in the Bible, churches don't matter. Just his words. Ridding myself of beliefs that make me hypocritical and tyrannical are what he wants of me, not wage a campaign of bigotry toward minority groups, just because they are in the minority, and because I grabbed a few passages from the bible to support my bigotry and superior attitudes.
So if you live by the Golden Rule, I suppose this means you would like others to preach whatever their beliefs and delusions are to you, and then to point out where you are being a hypocrite?
How can you believe he said this and then not care what else was said? If the rest were made up, what are the chances he said anything about love one another? None. I don't believe the Bible is inspired, but if you take part of it you take all of it, don't just cherry pick. That is just stupid.

I don't agree w/ 90% of what he says, but he consistent, even when he is being extremely rude.
Lance is a lib acting the role of the dimwitted conservative. The act is too far over the top to be believable, but the farcical exaggeration of the lunacy of the right can be amusing.
Bravo "Lance".
Yeah, I know that it *seems* nearly impossible that anyone could be that stupid, but...... most conservatives simply are THAT dumb. If you have ever listened to talk radio for 5 seconds you'd realize that there are plenty of conservatives out there as brain dead as you think "My Name is Lance" is pretending to be. He's the real deal, as scary as it may seems. Loves guns, hates gays, hates blacks and hispanics and most women, and (and this is the funniest part) thinks that HE is the one that is smarter than everyone else.

He applies the same "logic" you see above to his brilliant nutrition analyses.
(The internet age: there has never been an era with so many people who are simultaneously clueless and super confident in their "brain power." What an age we live in. The age where the actual experts are fools and regular guy on the street is the REAL expert. Blame google, because in one click you can find SOMEone who will tell you what you want to hear, and tell you that you are right in your opinion. Instant justification and backing, no matter how flat out wrong it really is, for your insane opinion, is just a moment away on the internet. )

Um, Lance is not a conservative. He has not hidden the fact that he is a socialist libertarian.
