Vote up for his endearing perma-grin.

Here ya go swampgirl... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OarjQBv8wiM

Doh! *watches rest of clip*

It's interesting that "In god we trust" and "One nation under god" were brought in during the 50s.

*puts on "They Live" shades and checks a dollar bill*

Hmmmm... It says "Money is your god".

Choice quote from this clip: "Spread the word among your brethren..."

Not only do these people *think* like they live in the 14th century... They talk like it too!

I'm not defending this woman in the slightest (or any religious zealot, ever) but the bible does quite famously say "Thou shalt not kill".

According to official reports it's even a specific commandment written in stone by god himself.

Funny how good christian soldiers keep forgetting that one as they empty their clips/bombs into/onto innocent men, women and children.

Great song, but the clip is out of sync.

Nice going Firefly. Love your submissions. I liked this one best: http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=3505&where=index

Thanks for the warning, dag, just as I'm soon to hit 100.

Forgive me if I don't post to thank myself.

fieldsr, It's great that Christianity helped you learn good morals but morality is not the exclusive domain of the church, and good parenting is just as - if not, more - effective at teaching kids a strong sense of morality.

And no, I'm not confused at all about the fact that a lot of people take from their religion whatever is convenient to them, and omit whatever isn't.

"hey hey, no need to go there, Snake. My children are my life. Again, you seem bitter and want to insult, why? If you tire of this thread simply don't reply or say you're finished. If you're offended, sorry. I happen to enjoy these discussions, and your posts."

You're right, swampgirl. I was trying to explain my belief that there is more than enough breathtaking beauty in this world (and universe) to be appreciate of and humbled by that the idea of a god is (to me) completely redundant, but I was thoughtless and rash in using your kids as an example and I genuinely apologize. If you want me to delete the comment I'll be happy to, and I'll try to be more respectful of your present transitory situation in future. I know it's not easy.

farhad, I agree. People accept religion because they're afraid of death. I think it's smarter to use that energy confronting your mortality and appreciating the life you have, instead of treating it like the crappy, inconvenient period before you go to a perfect heaven that isn't really there.

rickegee... Spleen-venting on politics is out. Everything else is fair game.

-----------------------------------------------------

"In my opinion, the guy is being a judgemental asshole. Personally, I'm a Christian."

Your god is disappointed in your lack of forgiveness and inability to turn the other cheek.

"I don't care what other people believe and I don't think they are going to be punished."

The bible says to deny the existence of the christian god is the only unforgiveable sin, and therefore punishable by an eternity in hell. Are you saying you disagree with the written word of god?

"You don't have respect for people that question anything differing than your viewpoint."

Incorrect.

"There is no evidence of God, but questioning the possibilities doesn't make one a child."

I didn't say it did. I said it was a childish opinion, clung to by people who are terrified.

[idiotically insensitive comment removed by SnakePlissken]

What you pointed out as insults were actually observations.

I can see how people who cling to ridiculous beliefs could be insulted or upset - kids usually take it pretty hard too when they find out Santa doesn't exist - but that wasn't my intention.

You're asking me to respect people's opinions when they believe that obvious fantasy is real, and I can't.

I have nothing personal against swampgirl or anyone else who has beliefs based in the supernatural. I just think they're reacting to fear rather than rational thought.
