With all the talk about the non-war against Christians and lately I have been taking some flak for sounding sympathetic to some sort of motion to force these Christians out of power take a look at this piece right here. It's about the Puritans.
Someone tell me seriously what separates your average so called God-fearing Christian of America from those that essentially established the base of these beliefs? (The Puritans)
The ONLY difference between these people and the Puritans is that thankfully it's against the law to burn an 8 year old girl alive.
And those of you who call yourselves Christians and demand apologies or whatever you know sorry not happening, you who claim no relation to the twisted barbarians who I am talking about right now either are not doing enough to reform them or sadly there's not enough of you in this country therefore consider yourselves nothing but infidels to the "true" WORD that the majority of American Christians believe in.
Religion and Nationalism is what has caused this country to rot from the inside. People know more about gay marriage and abortion than they do about the differences between Iraq and Afghanistan, than about the taxes levied on the American citizen for protecting Saudi Arabia (Oh it's part of the gas price always has been always will be) tell an American you think THEY the middle class worker or lower should get the huge tax break but...hey this other guy's talking about how no one who is not Christian should ever be put into office...that's what's important. Face the facts everyone" Bush won because Rove got the Christian Coalition involved and millions of Christian voters came out of the woodworks to support their savior. It was the EXACT same thing he had done to Ann Richards (Recall the putting of fliers on churchgoers cars which claimed Ann was an ally of the gay agenda)
Lastly get over yourselves. If I claimed to worship Osiris and that everyone must bow to His will you'd think of me as a little strange wouldn't you? Hey he apparently said he could be born again..even go so far as to give some divine meals to those in heaven....hey Jesus never promised that! Well how a mythology concerning a man who can electrocute you from a mountain (Zeus) any different than that of a story involving a snake talking some woman (who was made by the rib of a man btw) into eating a piece of fruit which screwed us all over?
