God's Contract only with Republicans?
Edited on Thu Feb-19-04 08:55 PM by mac2
Have any of you heard this crap on CSPAN lately? They can't refer to anything else because he's made a mess of it all.

By saying Bush is Godly, that insinuates the other candidates aren't. How dare they. Like Republicans have an exclusive contract with God.

Bush has been called a liar, crook, rapist, and murderer..is this a good guy? Republicans are liars. I think, it's headquarters calling.

Terry McAuffie needs to spend money on our message (Democratic radio or web radio) instead of that huge headquarters in DC. We need a new leader. He's given into the Republican WTO agenda.

1. As a liberal Christian,
I'm so damn sick of this shit I could just SCREAM! Shrub is no more a Christian than Saddam Hussein was and it makes me crazy to see his pandering to the fundie wingnuts and how they've so totally twisted and distorted Christianity, then scream that anyone who isn't totally with them isn't a Christian. Yeah, right, I think we know what Jesus would do with Shrub, he'd kick his ass out of the temple but good.

2. I really feel sorry for REAL Christians
you guys who live the words of Jesus are right on!

I know that the fundies aren't doing you any favors. It's like what the Taliban and al Qaeda are trying to do to Islam.

it's the fundie christians that disgust me... I don't think Jesus would think too much of them, either.

And this is coming from a pantheist. ;-)

5. Should Christians use God for their own power and ....
profit? In the Bible it says, you shouldn't wear your religion on your sleeve and brag, etc. Guess,they never heard of this. There is no humility or humanity.

10. Very well put,
they indeed have no humility or humanity at all, I'm not even sure if they've ever really read the New Testament.

4. As a registered Atheist
someone might be able to convince me that Satan took over the fundie churches. That seems to be the only explanation.

9. No, it's not God who's the true evil,
it's the humans who use him as an excuse to justify THEIR evil who are the true evil!

7. To me
all that saying bush is godly is that god himself is the infinately evil mastermind behind all the evils and conspiracies of the world.

11. Religion is NOTHING but pure evil
All through human history, religion has done more to hurt, harm, destroy and kill than anything else.

Religion and intelligence are like oil and water; they cannot mix!

12. Religion is not pure evil.
It reflects the imperfect nature of the people who practice it. Both good and evil have been done in the name of all the world's great religions. Many people have been fed, clothed, and cared for by Christian and Islamic charities throughout the world, just as many have been killed and tortured in the name of religion.

Faith and religion, I would note, are also two separate things. Faith is the belief that leads to salvation in the Christian religion (and to submission in Islam). Religion is the human-created framework for expressing that faith.
