Jesusgate

[salinen]

Alioto (sp)? was vetted through DobsonRobertsonFalwell. The minority block known as evangelical christianity is now the most powerful lobbying group in America. They beheaded Miers with dispatch. Any MSM head group contains at least one fundy. Church and State is the battlefield, and if DobsonRobertsonFalwell wins the "war on non-believers", there will be no State.

They are probably having concentration camp blueprints drawn for the "non-believers, homos, environmentalists, and abortionists as I write.

2. Well, it does look that way... on the surface.....

....because the Dobson et al pharisees are succumbing to the worldly temptations of money and power.

However, per Delay's aide, the hard core right view the Christian fundies as "wackos" - just tools to be used while they're needed. Once Dobson is no longer needed, he'll hit the trash can real quick. Trust me.

3. He'll always be needed

and therefore have a certain amount of power.

4. Does Repub party have 3 factions?

Hardcore Right PNACers and wannabes
"Wacko" Christian Crusaders
Clueless Ballot Punchers who fall for "fiscal conservatism"

9. The hard right core are nuts ---

it is always a bad idea to stir up the fundamentalists. Look at the outrages of the Spanish Inquisition, hunting heretics and witches. Look at 17th century England, Cromwell & civil war. Look at Iran, the worldwide Islamic fundamentalist movement. Look at the Taliban in Afghanistan.

You can't use these people and expect them to go away when they've served your purpose.

5. Why is the church being discussed?

They have no power.

6. Uhhh...Hellooo....

[BeHereNow]

7. Actually, the church is NOT being discussed- rather the ANTI-Christ

followers who MASQUERADE as Christians
and are, indeed, one of the most powerful
lobbying groups in the United States.
Despite their claims however, they
have NOTHING to do with the church.
And trust me, Christ never knew them...

8. You know what needs to happen...other religious groups MUST step forward

If other religious groups publically demand to be treated equally, then it will force the government to realize that we are better off keeping all religion out of matters of state.

Think about it...a Muslim group demands that "Under Allah" be added to the pledge; a Jewish group demands that Jewish Holy Days become legal government holidays; the feminist Christians demand that all references to God in public documents are gender neutral; a Buddhist group demands that reincarnation be taught in public schools...you get the idea.

Only then will it become obvious that we either include ALL religions, or none.
