This why it is clear that Perry, the AFA, and all fundamentalist evangelicals are inherently anti-Semitic. Any other conclusion is fallacious. It has been obvious for some time that their true support for Israel has noting to do with the fact that it is a Jewish state, but has to do with the fact that Jerusalem is where Christ is supposed to reappear. They want it “protected” by Israeli and US military might only for this purpose, not because they care if millions of Jews end up dead. Their belief is that they are right, despite their minority status within the world’s religions, and the rest of us are not just wrong but will suffer death at the hands of the anti-Christ after the rapture. Here’s my thought. I hope the rapture people are right because then these hate-filled cretins will be gone. The rest of us can figure out how to kill the anti-Christ and finally live in peace. There’s a “South Park” episode where John Edward, of “Crossing Over” fame, is voted biggest douche in the universe and spirited away by an intergalactic group to some faraway planet to receive his award. If this were to ever be true, Rick Perry would, no doubt, win the award. We should be so lucky.

Politics has always had much to do with religion and in the same breath little to do with it depending on ones immediate perspective about life. We should reason together on all occasions.

Enough said !!

Science and Reason Only !!

..oh! but I forgot..the religious wingnuts, popes, witchdoctors, potentates, etc don’t like Science and Reason…look how it proved that the earth was not the center of the universe or that it was not flat…or that Thor the Thunder God didn’t exist..

Oh that the non religious would go to 99%
Like John Lennen….Imagine theres no heaven…only sky above….wow!!

It is always interesting to hear alleged “christians” talk about the “love of Jesus” in one sentence, followed by statements of hate & fear for other religions and other people. Contradictory and hypocritical.

Why can’t all these wonderful christians just demonstrate through their peaceful, prosperous, charitable, helpful and contented lives how much their religion improves their lives, characters & minds? Why continually work at forcing all of us to behave as they believe?

there’s already a place like that, named Iran.

we’re a ‘Christian nation’ in the sense that most of our population are affiliated with one type or another of Christianity, but that’s it. anyone claiming the Founders meant it that way is highly delusional or running a scam, like David Barton.

Your nation was founded by Christians, it does not follow that the U.S. Constitution was based entirely on Christian doctrine, although that was certainly one influence. Whatever the USA once was though, today it has gained a mixed history of theocratic and secular traditions, often at odds with each other, but with observable trends of late.

Here’s one reason why the religious right is desperate. The percentage of non-religious people in your country in 1990 was about 8%. Today, over 15% report themselves non-religious. In the same years, Christianity has declined from 86% to 76%.

Assuming that the upcoming generations are religious at all, which version of Christianity do you think they’ll adhere to? The AFA’s positions hardly have much appeal to the young, and while “they” might have succeeded in making it a Christian nation, the damage of which cannot be underestimated, “they” are not immortal, and things aren’t looking good for the long term future of “their” theocracy.

Unfortunately for you. Yes we are a Christian nation. This country was founded on Christian principles and the U.S. Constitution was based upon Christian doctrines. After all, the White man implented both the “Doctrines of Discovery” and Manifest Destiny”, both of which are rooted in Christianity.

It’s all History 101, pal. They already made it a Christian nation.
