So The Repukes say Democrats want to ban the bible?

Maybe they outta try reading it sometime and then they'll realize that they are the ones who have already banned the real messages in it.

        "Dearly loved friends, don't always believe everything you hear just because someone says it is a message from God: test it first to see if it really is.   For there are many false teachers around."

{ 1 John 4:1 }

Gee is it me or does that apply to a rather large group of people we know?

"But God said to him, 'You fool!  This very night your life is being demanded of you.   And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'   So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God."  "Yes, every man is a fool who gets rich on earth but not in heaven.  Sell what you have and give to those in need.  This will fatten your purses in heaven!   And the purses of heaven have no rips or holes in them.  Your treasures there will never disappear; no thief can steal them; no moth can destroy them.  Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be."

{Luke 12:15-21}

" Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword."


"Look here, you rich men, now is the time to cry and groan with anguished grief because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you.   Your wealth is even now rotting away, and your fine clothes are becoming mere moth-eaten rags . The value of your gold and silver is dropping fast, yet it will stand as evidence against you and eat your flesh like fire.   That is what you have stored up for yourselves to receive on that coming day of judgment.   For listen!   Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay.   Their cries have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.   You have spent your years here on earth having fun, satisfying your every whim, and now your fat hearts are ready for the slaughter.   You have condemned and killed good men who had no power to defend themselves against you."

{James 5:1-7}

Neo-Cons are as close to Christians as ice is to flame in my opinion.

...and if Christ showed up tomorrow, and said anything remotely like the sermon on the mountain, he would be nailed back up on the cross by the end of the day, and Falwell, Limbaugh, Hannity, and Bush would be leading the mob with a box of sixteen penny nails.

ordered the whipping and suffering and ultimately murder of Christ to begin with.

their choice of whom to set free....Jesus or Billabus.

its just such grade A bullshit.

that it is vanishing--into outsourcing, into war, into the abyss of corruption.

It is sad indeed when I read this and think that Jesus is still talking to us through this passage, PLEADING with us to reject kkkorporate facism. Nearly 2000 years later...*sigh*

And the so-called "Christians" around me think I'm a heretic because I think there are more important things to worry about this election cycle than abortion.:grr:

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, so it's fine the far righters are making up idiocy about banning the bible.

idea.

The types that are so anti-religious they want to lump every follower of any religion into the whacked out category of it.
