the following was inspired by this thread, from the blog of flamingo jones:
if i hear someone speak a sentence in the syntax "as is said in the book of xxxx, chapter xxxx, verse xxxx..." i'm going to have to karate chop that person in the larynx.
christianity doesn't work for me. bully for you if it does. i just loathe the demagoguery that looks down at and chastizes all religious views that don't completely coincide with theirs. these people are such. hypocrisy. fiends.
like rush limbaugh sitting in his little studio washing down oxycontins with circle k big gulps full of honey mustard while criticizing drug addicts and gluttons on the air. let's all listen because he's christian.
why this big "god-in-government" movement lately? does it seem to get more attention than it used to?
has there ever been a civilization in the history of man that has successfully operated under a theocracy? people seem to think that america's strength and founding principles stem from the bible. isn't america's strength derived from the fact that we avoided basing our constitution on the bible, or any religion?
morality and christianity aren't dependent upon each other these days(understatement of the year?). it seems like they're almost moving towards mutual exclusivity.
look what you did mel gibson! i want my eighteen dollars!

i heart pakistan - i'm christmasing in islamabad this year. i want to catch one of those court rulings where they say five men can rape one woman because she forgot to wear a veil (true story).
and i'm surprised that religious fanatcis (the christian chapter, not the islamic chapter) don't realize that their methods do more to turn people off of religion than attract them to it.
strike that, i'm not surprised. they don't seem to realize much, especially concerning self-awareness issues.
Cultural Christianity versus actual religion.
*thunderous applause*
BRAVO! Bravo. Suck on that, you fundy nutjobs!
This "new and unproved" religion in government BS does seem to be getting more attention now. Back in college I had an assignment to write a paper comparing the governments of two countries where religion plays (or played) a major role in policy setting. At that time I picked Iran and fascist Italy. If I had the same assignment today, I'd totally skip boring Iran and substitue the good ol' U S of A instead.
how fortuitous this post was considering the "god" issue in the debate tonight. kerry won, but let bush get away with WAY too much.
Phizz,
Great post with excellent points. You and I both see the fundie right in our midst every day. I'm every bit as sick of it as you are!
