Bush Opens His Campaign and Takes Swipe at Kerry

...(Bush's) message that the party was taking the high road was undercut by a member of his cabinet, Rod Paige, the education secretary. In remarks to the nation's governors at the White House earlier in the day, Mr. Paige called the National Education Association a longtime ally of the Democrats, a "terrorist organization" for resisting provisions of the education bill signed into law in 2001.

4. Worst Geneologic gaff

The evidence that Christianity is politheistic is pretty strong.

The remarkable similarities between Christ and Mithra (Constantines "original" god) is quite remarkable. The implication is clear. The "god man" image was superimposed upon a pre-existing character.

The biggest problem for me is the chain of geneaology that make Jesus "King of the Jews". Jesus is supposedly the paternal descendant of King David through Joseph. This establishes his rightful rule as a sort of "sovereign".

However, Jesus WAS NOT the genetic son of Joseph. Mary was inseminated by GOD!!!!!! His divine birth precludes any earthly/mortal paternity.

If Jesus is TRULY the son of God, why does one need to establish his paternity to an earthly king. Isn't the whole "divine being" thing enough?????


If this is the case, than Jesus would have been King of the Earth. Joseph (little brother) would have been prince of Jews. ;-)

This is evidence (among many others) that the "original" Jesus wasn't supernatural in nature. Constantine simply extended an old Roman tradition of folding multiple religions into a cohesive STATE religion. Hence the name of his church, CATHOLIC (universal).

5. This should go over big in my school district

where virtually all (well...about 98%) of teachers have their lips firmly planted on Bush's posterior.

Yeah....I don't understand it either.
