Re: Rest of World Favors Obama

Those ultra right wings/neo cons over there scare the shit out of me...some of them are just christian taleban. Anyone seen god camp?

God's country? Who did "god" give it to first?

Religion in the US is a bit "in your face" from what I have seen.....

I'm tired...apologies in advance if I've offended anyone.

Extreme Religiosity. Extreme Authoritarianism.a

Two opposing groups who I hope cancel each other out. I hope the Stuff-White-People-Like crowd is snuffed out first, however. They're completely retarded beyond all belief.

Re: Rest of World Favors Obama

On a side note: I presently have the impression that the christians, generally, are turning leftward. Jesus christ commands to take care of others and shit like that, so they are pretty much copying the Jews (in their devotion to tikkun olam) by doing god's will through the government.

More and more christians are rejecting the notion that life begins at birth and believing that abortions are ok (and not only permitted in instances of rape but generally acceptable), they are reject sanctity of marriage (assisted, of course, by female hypergamy), and the role of religion in one's life and society (more social than anything else). You'd be surprised at how many christians think guns are bad and have a poor opinion of allowing anyone but government officials to own them.

As time passes, this Coastal Churchianity floods inward to the midwest, eroding tradition and religion itself.

In the future, I see most religions following a path similar to Episcopalians. (barring a serious recession that will never happen! right! Right? riiiiight?)


However, when the goddamn phelps family is the first thing one thinks of when they think of christians, they miss the forest for a bunch of faggotrees.

Even so, the phelps family, as nauseating as they may be, at least exercise their first amendment rights (and pretty well, too, actually).

The taliban do no such thing. Not even close.

Re: Rest of World Favors Obama

Mariner I was agreeing with nelinho, and my comments were with regard to his comparison of the extreme religious types. Settle down buddy, it's just 4 more years .

Floridaorange, you are no different than the people you despise. .

Everyone is an expert nowadays aren't they? Extremists go online and congregate with others just like them....and therein lies the problem, the TV media is a reflection of the direction the media is going online. "Something for everyone" moderate, extreme whatever.

I'm not on FB making political comments like the individuals I am referring to. I'm not intermingling my religious views with my political views either. People aren't interested in that shit. So either you are trolling or don't understand the comparison you made. I do not behave similarly to the person I am referring to. I don't even "despise" them. Like I said, it's my childhood best friends parents. I'll always love them regardless of their political views.

But never before have I seen them get to angry over an election and make personal attacks. I'm leaving out a lot, believe me.

Re: Rest of World Favors Obama

late reply...mariner made a good point in highlighting the key differences between the real taliban and what I labelled as christian taliban...I was tired (a cop out excuse) but the context I was meant was relative extremism of religious beliefs and using them for dastardly purposes...which I think I only knew the context of the message given the vagueness of it.

Segue

this week saw Obama make a call to Netanyahu apparently with regards to civilian casualties ..odd because there's been a numerous casualties in Pakistan where drone attacks have occurred....a nation that is supposedly an ally of the US in the war on terrorism.

Peace mofos.
