Touchy, Markustee. And sad. Sad that you would define as “unreasonable” any thought or idea that doesn’t resemble your own.
I think you “tire of this” because we’re probably the only ones in your sphere who actually require that you defend, reasonably, the so-called “Christian principles” you claim to adopt. I suspect you’re not used to having your opinions questioned. It’s really too bad. Groupthink is why this country is in the mess it’s in.
Christ also endorsed loving one’s enemies, turning the other cheek, and abandoning earthly riches, but perhaps you’re picking and choosing among Christian principles.
Boy, Markustee, you sure seem to hate it when we talk to YOU this way. It’s unfortunate that you’re taking your ball and going home, when really, we’re just playing your game according to the rules you’re using.
Ah, now we’re getting to it. It’s a-okay for YOU to condescend to anyone else on here, but like most Republicans, you can’t take what you dish out.
It’s regrettable you fail to realize, “dear child,” that the military is publicly funded with our very own, hard-earned tax dollars, even if they are overly-glorified for…how did you put it? Killing people with bare hands and shooting at bad guys (well, let’s hope they’re the bad guys, anyway).
Our laws — secular laws — are often based on principles followed in ALL religions. Therefore, it behooves America, which is not a theocracy, to prohibit prejudice against, or advocacy for, any religion.
After thinking about it, I guess I can understand your suspicious sensibilities when it comes to Muslims, Markustee. Because of the Oklahoma City bombing and the attempted martyrdom of Randy Weaver on Ruby Ridge, I tend to feel the same way about a Republican Party that portrays Obama incorrectly and facetiously as a messiah.
Following your logic, I believe we should cast out all radically-conservative Christians in the military, to boot. Hell, maybe sense would prevail then.
Bobbie Gentry also wrote the song “Fancy,” which was made famous by that red-haired country singer whose name escapes me. REBA! That’s it. That song has great lyrics, too.
I recommend getting Gentry’s “best-of” album/CD. Good stuff! Great summer listening.
Hmmm. And yet you seem interested in turning our country into “Ms. Prisses’ Kindergarten,” thumping a Bible and wailing about Christian PRINCIPLES which you seem to pick and choose as to your liking, or what you would deem egotistically as “common sense.”
Since you “find the actions and the words of most ‘Christian churches’ and the ‘religious people’ in them to be abhorrent” it’s surprising that you seem to champion the introduction of religious tests in our publicly-funded institutions, and that you would encourage looking upon all Muslims as foes before they pass some sort of test as a “friend.”
Wow, the conservative buzz-word “politically correct” in the same post as the tired “red-hot burner” analogy, with points for alluding to Latin roots. What intellect!
Anyway, if we’re throwing all Muslims into the radically-conservative Muslim prejudice, then Michelle Bachmann must be an abortion-doctor killer and should be removed from office.
So you stand by falsehoods, then. Our country was founded chiefly by Deists, not Christians. There’s a big difference.
Incidentally, if you DID have your way and Christians ruled the U.S., which denomination should hold sway? And what do you think we should do with Jews?
I believe the KKK also claims to champion a Protestant messiah in their mission, as well.
Let’s not forget what the Crusaders also did to the Orthodox Church which had controlled Constantinople before the Fourth Crusade. The Crusaders basically removed a Christian hedge against Islam by raping, looting, and pillaging their fellow Christians, and also managed to help solidify a foundation for Islamic hatred of Christianity.
In one breath, you’re chastising a poster for using “wacko” in a denigrating manner, and in the next, you’re highlighting Obama’s middle name because it’s the same as the last name of the Iraqi dictator that Bush targetted (instead of the REAL perpetrator of 9/11).
Except that Obama doesn’t come from an old, moneyed family that’s had business ties with known terrorists.
(Curiously, Bush’s family also was well-acquainted with Hinckley’s family while Bush was VP to Reagan, so it wouldn’t have been the first time the Bush family fell under scrutiny for odd coincidence.)
Awesome! I mean, geez, how many women are in Weight Watchers right now trying to reeducate themselves to lose weight?! Where do I sign up for this re-education camp?
Maybe I’ll be so skinny and I’ll qualify for some pageant that’ll pay for new boobs, too. Just like every little girl’s idol, Carrie Prejean, video masturbator.
Forget about the hearts of the innocent passengers, who may already have their own religion and don’t need interference from their bus driver, or the cashier, or the doorman, or their teacher, or their boss, or the waiter, or the receptionist, or their usher, or (if today’s onanistic Christians had their way) ALL of them during the course of the day..
Here’s the real question. Who the eff do these holy-rollers think they are, to assert themselves as anyone’s and everyone’s religious agents and moral authorities?
The amount of religious masturbation in today’s society is stupefying.
This girl is un-fxking-believable. Here’s what she told Meredith Vieira:
“The biggest … reason I wrote this book is Americans believe their beliefs are under attack, and this is proof.”
Oh, right. She really wants to defend Christianity from the “liberal” media, I guess the liberal media is the one who made her film herself masturbating, pose for soft-core-porn photos, bite the hand that augmented her boobs, and generally portray herself as a religious martyr.
My dad and his buddies had to anglicize their funny-sounding foreign names when they were headhunters back in the ’60s, presumably because Italian, Greek and German last names were too difficult to remember.
This ain’t the ’60s anymore, though, and Mendoza, Aguilar, Lopez, etc. are all par for the course. This guy is more of a jerkoff than a racist, I believe. But he’s still somewhat of a racist.
Sure, as long as we publish the names of everyone whoever bought a gun, their purpose for having a gun, what kind of gun, how many guns, how they intend to use the gun, whether or not they’ve taken gun safety classes, where they live, their race, salary, education, and marital status.
Actually, this makes better sense than publishing the data of women who’ve gotten abortions, which is a medical procedure and should be covered under federal HPPA laws.
