A lot of things. I don't see any discussion of relativistic physics,
how to reboot my Windows computer, the molecular structure of DNA, or
how many news postings it will take before you make some sense.

I do not see how either of these derive from "we must live strictly as
did the people of the Bible and eschew modern conveniences as
non-Biblical", or for that matter from anything else I've said.
Tell me when I've said that "extremists" "should've never been allowed
into politics". Tell me where I've ever said ANYTHING about Rosie
O'Donnell, about whom I know nothing except that she is on TV (which I
rarely watch)

You made a claim that you had a Bible verse COMMANDING that you own a
gun. I'm asking you to cite such a verse. Are you backing away from
that claim?
