Moral majority round 2
April 3, 2011 at 6:24 pm
Pastors and politicians meeting up to discuss how best to turn us into a theocracy: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/03/us/pol...wanted=all
Quote:... The Iowa pastors heard David Barton, a Christian historian, argue that the country was founded as explicitly Christian and lament that too few evangelicals get out and vote. They heard Newt Gingrich, a former House speaker and like Mr. Huckabee a possible 2012 presidential candidate, say that constitutional liberties like the right to bear arms were ordained by God. They heard how to promote “biblically informed” political advocacy by churchgoers within the confines of federal tax law.
Right to bear arms ordained by God?? WTF.

"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

They'll finally understand the heat of satisfying sex, before it burns them down to cinders from their inexperience.
I didn't really have anything to add, but Chuck mimicked my thoughts on what you said

It makes you wonder if these people actually understand the bible. Because for example; in the New Testament Jesus talked about things like turning the other cheek, divorcing and remarrying is committing adultery, and giving all your money and possessions to the poor.

The "moral majority" is, in fact, neither.

If they read and understood their Bible, they wouldn't be Christians.
