Other than trying to enlighten his ignorance, if he is as you say, with evidence and facts, you just continue to call him ignorant?

Do the rich conservative Christian's tithe or do they take consolation in the idea that "God helps those who help themselves"?

What does that tell you about "the root of all evil"?

Actually he had a great reply in which you COMPLETELY IGNORED, like you always do when someone make a good point.
--- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope ---

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

Your comprehension problem only lets you see what agrees with what you have been indoctrinated with. He took a quote from the bible trying to prove that money was evil and the quote actually said the LOVE of money was evil. My point flattened his and you failed to see that. You're indoctrinated.

Maybe you 2 should get a room and flip a coin to see who gets to be the man and who gets to be the woman.

Consevatives have this country so far in debt it is not even a little funny, from a surplus (with a non- conservative Dem at the wheel) to Trillions in debt. If money is the root of all evil then the 'conservatives' are the evil ones. The consevatives of modern day are not really what they claim. They are not really conservatives but money hunger, self- centered, oil grabbers. I would ask someone to look the word up but I am afraid of the response I'll get from the King James dictionary. Really, in the end the only thing that seperates us all is just in people's minds. Like it or not the religious and political divisions are just making it impossible to pull together as one world. We don't need globalization through world domination, we need globalization through trust, understanding, and and the common knowledge that who's God is right is not what is important. Worrying about who's God is right is the true meaning of indoctrination. What is important is that we all come together, put aside our different religions, creeds and geographic boarders, and work to fix the mistakes we have made as an industrialized civilization. No amount of scripture or arguement is going to fix anything. We all are the ones that have screwed up this earth and we all can't be responsible if we are too busy fighting over who's God or Alah, or non-God, or what ever, is the true almighty power. It is all such trivial stupidity that we are killing our place to live over our Gods and ways of veiwing the world. We spend billions on bombs and armies, really in the end to back our religious beliefs or to grab more assets. Sounds like the root goes deeper than just the money. Like it or not religions are the key to hating other people. Some of the Islamics are doing it, as well as some of the Christians. Since the beginning of organized religion people have been killing each other over who's God is right. Haven't we learned enough about our universe, our earth, and what we are doing wrong to keep it all healthy, to get pass the fighting? Our species may just depend on it.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville
