Our British cousins don't seem to have heard of Phyllis Schafly...mother of Andrew...who is proof of Bill Maher's observation that "the shit doesn't fall far from the bat."

As are the Televangelists that represent his alleged teachings, while living a lifestyle that has nothing to do with what Jesus taught at all. (Besides the fact the Bible Jesus version never existed)
Jesus on How the Rich Get to Heaven (Mark 10:17-25)
It's the same with any leadership. They profit enormously by seducing people into believing if the people follow them, they'll be saved. Saved from policies that that politician promises to change if elected. Saved from sin that god manifest for them to fall under and ever fear they shall succumb to, while the rich preacher promises to lead them to the keys that allow them entry into the kingdom. Members only, of course.
Politics and Religion. Give power to leadership who live higher than their followers, by policy.
*tsk tsk
You have sinned dear friend, for you have not been to the "Conservapedia Bible Project". This project is meant to translate the bible from its original "King James" language, to the modern learned tongue of America (otherwise known as "Conservative speak")
http://www.conservapedia.com/Mark_9-16_(...Chapter_10
It clearly shows that when Jesus said "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. " that he REALLY meant to say; "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for an idle miser to enter into the kingdom of God."
as far as the needle..no. It wasnt a real "needle".. the rich son Andy Shlafly explains:
"The "needle" was the very narrow pedestrian portal in the larger city gate. In order to pass, the camel must lower itself. Similarly, in order to pass the gates of heaven, a man must bow. "
So all a rich man must do to get into heaven is to not be idle, and bow down in order to pass into the gates of heaven. Apparently not bowing to God is being idle. So therefore, a rich man merely need to believe in God to get to heaven.
Heh..Jesus was SO wrong, and sounds so Socialisticly Nazified. Thank God for Andy Shlafly to clarify his divine words for us!

I love the more uncomfortable bits of history that some groups like to distance themselves from when placed under the sterile, critical light of modern society.

I heard from a friend a few months back that Orwell was SUCH a socialist that he refused to buy cigarettes. Instead, he would either bum off from strangers, OR he would go around, take the remaining tobacco out of the butts and roll his own cigarettes which apparently reeked SO badly of ass, people in bars would give him cigarettes so they didn't have to smell that.
Could be bullshit, but I thought it sounded interesting. The friend is a political science major who has such an obsession with Orwell, when he got baked about six months ago on salvia, he hallucinated a 30 feet tall George Orwell with spotlights for eyes warning him that the highwayman he was seeing in the field was dangerous. He wound up chasing this Orwell hallucination through like three fields until another friend tackled him to the ground.

I've read somewhere (maybe here) that "camel" was a mistranslation of the (Greek / Aramaic?) word for "rope". Either way, there are some deluded revisionists @ Conservapedia.
