Quote: Hey Larry....Try runnin' for any office in THIS fair land as an Agnostic, or EVEN one o' them thare dreaded godless Atheists, and see far ya get, HUH?
And regarding this gay crap....This here Leviticus fella y'all brought up...did that dude ever have the chance to talk to a Mr.J.Christ, back in the day???
OH...NO?! I guess we done lived waaaaay back before that Jesus dude ever stolled down that there road carryin' that there cross thingy, huh?!
Ol' Leviticus must been one them there old Jewish fellas livin' back when that OLD TESTAMENT was also tellin' us how many slaves we should all own and assorted other helpful little tidbits about how we should function as human beings, HUH?
Wow!!! I had NO IDEA you were JEWISH, dude?
Cheers, Dwight (but if ya DO decide to run for that office you have talked about in the past and since you claim to be a religious man[that'll get cha a few votes right there], I'd play down the Jewish part....I hear the Midwest doesn't have too many of your persuation there)
First, I didn't bring up Leviticus, your fellow lefty Greg did. But as long as we're at it. Try being a poofter in a Moslem country.
Slavery was a fact in Ancient Israel, as it was everywhere else at the time. Protestants from England and the United States and the Royal Navy were what did away it in the Western world in the nineteenth century. It still exists among Moslem countries. Why you’re bringing it up is a mystery to me.
You guys are all trying to prove that Americans, and Christian Americans in particular, are at least as bad as the Taliban. To you guys all religions are equal, none are superior. Jim Jones and David Koresh are equal to Mother Theresa and John Paul II. Voo Doo is equal to Buddha and the Jihadists have equality with the medical missionaries in Africa.
You’re right, Godless Atheists have a hard time getting elected outside of hard hare left wing circles. So what? Try being a white guy running for office in the inner city. Funny though, the only Democrat currently holding office that most church going Republicans respect is Joe Lieberman, a Jew. Why? Because he takes his religion seriously. Mitt Romney, a Mormon, has a pretty good following. A lot of conservative white Republicans think Condie Rice would make a good president.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
