Republicans have "pray-in" to stop healthcare bill..

Witness this and realize that religion is a pathology, an evil mind-rot that makes the stupid even more stupid.

what else is new? i think that it is pretty apparent that religion will be the downfall of modern civilization

This is stupid... the big JC would have been all about socialized medicine.

I do take great issue with your claim that religion is a pathology. Yes, there are idiots drawn to religion much as there are idiots drawn to any other group social interaction; however, there are also a great many incredibly bright and mentally stable people who are highly religious.

Not really..I'm getting more and more ashamed to be aligned with nutcases like this on some issues, even if by accident. I want them all to be crushed in the next election and to remain out of power until they purge the loonies. If the dems turn America into Venezuela, I'll just take my affairs to the black market..no biggie. Big brother religious fascism and nukes in the hands of people who believe the "rapture" could come any day is much more dangerous.

well... at least it's less expensive and harmful than the global warming religion of the Left.

p.s.- I'm jealous of the size of Rachel Maddow's cock.

yeah, unsubstantiated superstition was never ever harmful.

it must really sting that your spiritual brethren have nothing but bitter rhetoric to fall back on in the AGW debate. your ilk are just as, if not more responsible for turning what should be a scientific debate into a political one.

hey, maybe your fucktard buddies should pray for a healthier climate too! i mean hey, you've tried everything else to muddy the waters.

I think it's important to point out that the religious right in the US is more a political ideology then it is theological. The movement is really politically driven using religion to rally support as opposed to religion driving the political agenda.

More likely into the UK or Canada.

No need to worry... everyone that is misguided enough to believe that Revalations is a litteral and prophetic book also believes that before the rapture (which incidently never appears in the bible and only evangelical litteralists believe in) and apocalypse the Temple needs to be rebuilt in Jerusalem. It doesn't seem Israel is willing to consider any plans for anything to be done on the temple mount. So until you see bulldozers taking a run at The Dome of the Rock there's no reason for concern, as the nut-jobs will still be patiently waiting (and soliciting donations).

In our weekly intercessions my church prays that those who hold stewardship over the earth will act responsibly. Of course no one defines responsibly but seening as the RCs are about as left wing as they come it's reasonable to presume this means "take better fuckin' care of our portion of creation."

nice. even if it makes no difference, i like to see people accept our responsibility for the world we inhabit. -been reading too many global warming deniers in the last few weeks. next sunday, please ask god to smite them for me. tell him i'll owe him one!

What's the difference? The two are intertwined. Of course it is a political movement, but the main reason they seek political power is to enforce their theology.

I'm trying to help you enjoy it more. As a lover of Sci-fi and politics I figured you would find this book even more enjoyable when understood as a commontary on the Roman Empire through fantastic allagory, no? I mean come on... casting Nero as false prophet demanding all worship Rome (the seven headed beast) at the same time that the Empire is killing Christians for not paying tribute to the pantheon of pagen gods... that's just great political commentary.

Other way around... the Republican party introduced political activism to the evangelical movement in order to build a solid base of support. Why do you think it is that the evangelicals are only really politically active in the US?

Careful what you ask for... remember that G-dawg has a habit of smitting a whole shitload of people in order to purge the unacceptable (sodom, Noah, the plagues of the Exodous, etc.). I'm thinking it's best to handle this one ourselves.

I had a bright idea today of bringing back Napalm. I think it would find a use in the modern world.

Ditto. And, I'm an atheist, so it's not like I'm trying to defend myself here

Don't the right wingers understand Jesus was as leftist on one gets?

That's the great irony of christianity; most atheists are better christians than most christians.

Shut the fuck up. What's your fucking problem asshole? Getting defensive because you fell for the AGW hoax and feel like a baffoon while we're in the midst of a 10th strait year of cooling and the coldest winter in 25 years? I'm not defending religion at all. All I was saying was THOSE people in the video aren't hurting anybody by what they're doing, even if they look like fools.

How many goddamn times have I said that I'm an athiest, can't stand religion, and believe in a historical context, it's caused more grief than good? FUCK! Pay attention!

I would have to agree on this (and only on this). Ideally everyone opposed should just have prayer sessions, would prevent them from actually doing anything that might actually have some affect on the situation.

Word. Even though I'm not religious, I don't care if people want to get in prayer groups and do their thing. My problem is when they try to force it on others, exploit it for financial reasons, use it for controlling purposes, or extremist behavior like jihad or, on the other side of the spectrum, that jerkoff Pat Robertson who said today that the people of Haiti made a deal with the devil which lead to their suffering (yet, 95% of them practice Christianity... wtf is he talking about?).
