    here, another person's opinon


    "A rape victim is tried for being gang raped and faces sentencing that includes whipping. Here a school teacher lets her 7 year old students name a teddy bear with a common Muslim name and is on trial to determine how many lashes she will receive. (see link in title to this posting)

    Won't America be better off when our theocrats gain control and can rule us with the same type of morality?

    I just can't wait.

    It will be really wonderful when we can stone clerks at Home Depot because they put up a sign declaring "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas".

    When we can nail all those "so-called jews" in Hollywood to crosses for those crass, sexist, violent films.

    When we can burn scientists at the stake again for declaring the earth is millions of years old instead of the truth (6 thousand years) or for declaring that life evolves instead of being supernaturally created out of beach sand and a magical rib.

    Yes sir, the glory and bounty from He who may not be named will be truly wonderful once we achieve the same level of grace through ignorance as other theocratically ruled nations in the world.

    Is this a Christian Poll?
    There aren't any choices.

    Do you ever stop complaining ? Who needs a choice when the good book is available to all ?

    What are the biblical ideals of leadership? Biblical leaders philandered, murdered, had multiple wives, condoned and committed genocide (at least once against their fellow Jews...and *then* to make up for it, they encouraged the survivors to go out and rape as many women as possible, to rebuild the tribe) and in 1 and 2 Kings they seemed to have had a penchant for making alliances that don't quite work out. Not to mention that they were rather famously subjugated by the Egyptians, then the Babylonians and then the Romans, who ultimately scattered them.

    It seems like they managed to cobble together a nation of middling power that was often able to dominate the smaller and less powerful neighbors, but that was always subject to threat from neighbors comparable and greater to themselves (and that was ultimately detroyed by those outside forces).

    I know there are people who ascribe to a certain view that insights on leadership can be gained from the Bible (much as there are those who swear by Sun Tzu's The Art of War or de Saxe's My Reveries), but in the Biblical case I am not sure that the leaders referenced in it tended to follow the advice the commentators have cobbled together from its various passages.

    The poll was obviously wrong. Our choices right now include 3 people who NEVER say a word about God or Jesus and a former minister whose only attraction is his Christianity. The Mormon who says "God Bless You" at the end of most of his speeches is despised by the other guys and the media.

    So you want to be a cross between a giraffe and a kangaroo > Sorry but evolution does not work like that. Still, you could always try cross breeding. If you succeed you won't need car keys. Have you seen how fast a roo can move ?

    How many millenia do you intend to live ? You might find it easier and quicker to stand on a chair, ha ha.

    I'm definitely interested in promotiong your sweets. You've heard of butter scotch; your sweets could be called hop scotch. Do you know that game ?

    So you're saying that you never liked polls until you came across one that agrees with you?
    You're joking. The Crusades, the obliteration of both civilizations in the New World, witch burning, slavery, the Holocaust...?
    I love it when you people say, "My Christian sect is better than all those other ones." You all say it! Which one are we to believe, especially since from our viewpoint there isn't a damn bit of difference among them? Anyway, "born-again" was probably not a term in common use when the atrocities I listed above were committed, but they were all committed by Christians who were exceptionally pious, by the standards of our era.
    Most religions are atavistic and reinforce our tribal instincts. That's where the hatred and violence comes from. Religion is something the human race is going to have to outgrow in order to transcend tribalism.

    well idk, it depends. does roo-raff have any anti aging properties? i plan to live as long as i can survive, and it would be nice to stay wrinkle free as long as possible. perhaps i can find a way to get lycra infused into my skin, that has wrinkle free properties.

    and yes i know hopscotch.

    His own admission doesn't count as proof?

    "Completely heterosexual". I guess that means he limits himself to fantasizing about men when having sex with his wife.
