Comments on: While I can sympathize with my Christian Brethren, they are wrong… http://www.politicalbyline.com/2009/04/10/while-i-can-sympathize-with-my-christian-brethren-they-are-wrong/ The mission of this blog is these four things: 1. To ridicule, mock and deride the far socialist left. 2.) To assist in the wrangling of the doctrine of Conservatism, as a idea --- away from those who have overtaken it by nefarious means. 3.) To Generally Mock, Deride and make sport of the far-Religious Right in this Country, who seem to believe that they are entitled to run this Country. 4.) To promote the eternal hope that once again America will once again be a symbol of Freedom, Justice, and Prosperity in the World. ---- Peace Through Strength, not domination of the World by Military might.

Where was this "Christian morality" in the slave-owning South? Where was this "Christian morality" when GWB was blowing apart Muslim women and children? Where is it now, when the slaughter continues? What divine right do these self-deluded hypocrites have to dictate to us what our most private convictions should be? What basis do they use when limiting the choices of others? Membership in the "body of Christ" is supposed to be based on a transformational rebirth in Christ, not on loyalty to a belief system or membership in a religious organization or the agreement of fellow believers. How many "Christians" have ever actually had that experience? By the evidence of their choices and behavior, I must say, "Very few, if any."

I have a different problem with the christian right. My reading of the scriptures is that Daddy does not hold unbelievers responsible for national sins. He holds His people accountable. If my people will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways... In regards to the whole issue of homosexuality the church needs to, as heard a speaker comment once, repent of our homo sect uality. Sinners sin. We are the light of the world. It's His kindness that leads to repentance not our name calling and condemnations. I am a believer as well. I have a different problem with the christian right.

Impressive. Hey, what if the Obama admin continues faith based initiatives but they get Wiccans and Yoruba priests to handle them? Just one possible consequence of bringing your faith into the halls of power. Theocracy sucks. Nice one. Impressive.

Are they saying that Marriage should be based on a persons ability to reproduce? What about sterile adults who cannot reproduce? Should they also not be allowed to marry since they cannot produce offspring? Gay couples can biologically procreate through artificial or surrogate means if they wish. Whereas a sterile person can never biologically procreate. The “biological procreation” argument has never made sense to me.
