Exodus 20:3
"You shall not make a graven image, nor any manner of likeness, of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;"
Well, a man would certainly fall into that catagory.

It's also in Deuteronomy 5:7
"You shall not make a graven image, even any manner of likeness, of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

If God had a son, how is that someone making a graven image? I looked up graven image in the dictionary and it said "an idol carved from stone or wood. A human being walking around would not be an idol or a carved image.

"Nor" doesn't mean and. It means that ANY LIKENESS falls into that catagory.

Where did you get "nor"? The dictionary says any likeness CARVED from wood or stone is a graven image. If a man walks around claiming to be God, that is not a graven image because according to the dictionary, he is not carved from wood or stone. He would either be a lunatic or God, but not a graven image.

What does this have to do with the dictionary? The line doesn't stop at graven images. It goes on to mention any likenesses, and "any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

Dude. as the largest polluter in the world ( BY ANY statistical evidence) I think the US has more responsibility. US environmental concerns will have a COLLOSSAL impact on environment as compared to that of Venezuela for instance. The US does NOT have the best track record. BUt it SHOULD. As the world leader in development and industry. Kyoto is not political grandstanding. At least it's a step towards a global environment policy . The they-aren't-doing-it-so-we-aint-doing-it argument is infantile.
Kyoto is not necessarily about the environment, because it is true the U.S is the second largest emitter on greenhouse gases in the world second to China. It comes down U.S in it's current stance attempting to persue a policy of "isolationism". I personally believe the reduction levels can be met.

War is not fought over Religion. Religion taken out of context is used as an ideological scapegoat to ensure one's own socio-economic conditions are met.

So how about them gas prices??

My God this thread is sooo long.

Don't know if it was mentioned, but if every state dropped all of their standard mixtures and ran on just 1 mixture...i'm sure gas prices would drop tremedously!
