I tried looking up the "parable of the good samaritan" on conservapedia

and also the story of the "adulteress" and the sermon on the mount. I found the experience pretty illuminating. For a self-proclaimed christian website those articles are extremly poor. The one about
the sermon on the mount is virtually non-existent. Also, the way they interpret the samaritan parable and the adulteress is probably exemplary for their brand of "christianity".

Actually, this proved to me beyond the shadow of a doubt that these people are utterly clueless about christianity. They don't even deserve that label.

They are more focused on Paul's letters.

The Lutherans focus on the Gospels, whereas the fundies focus on the Letters.

vis-a-vis Jesus. Right-wingers, in their usual authoritarian way, focus on Jesus as the savior, they worship the person of Jesus and his magical powers to wash away their sins, whereas the more liberal churches focus more on what Jesus taught, with a lot less emphasis on the "being saved" part, "washed in the blood," and so on. I've always thought that right-wingers use that "being saved" thing as a big cop-out allowing them to do whatever the hell they feel like from a moral standpoint because they've been saved and are "chosen" no matter what they do. Tom Delay is a perfect example. A more immoral person cannot be found on the face of the planet, as far as I'm concerned, and yet he boasts of his "born-again" status and presumes to tell others how to live their lives.

Which reminds me of something that happened as my father was in his final illness. He had been raised a Quaker and later attended the United Methodist Church almost every single Sunday of his adult life, teaching Sunday School, doing good works, never had a mean word for anyone, and yet a Baptist friend of my parents came to my mother in my dad's final days insisting that my father needed to be "saved" and cleansed of his sins or he was likely to go to hell. My mother was rightfully furious.

These people really have no shame.

And yeah Fundies are full of it.

on what he did before he was saved. There is virtually no news about his pre-Laura romances (just enough about a pretty juvenile relationship that occurred I believe when he was in college to allay innuendos of homosexuality) although he admits to have been quite a drinker and did not marry Laura until he was around 30. What did we never learn about him?

Yes. Politicians should have a right to privacy. But Clinton's right to privacy was not respected with regard to innuendos about his relationships before taking office.

(The "red letters are the words of Christ in many bibles)

Just like the Taliban, that only respects unquestioning faith in the leaders and harsh reprisals for dissenters.

Doesn't matter what creed they pretend to embrace, result is the same.

The faith has been perverted by many before, will be by many in the future.

OK, so I went to this site and looked up "good Samaritan." Where is the "EDIT" button? I can't find it?

This sentence doesn't make any sense to me: "This makes the irony greater that the Jew, robbed and beaten, was aided by a Samaritan, much like the Christians today are persecuted by God-denying heathans."

huh?? Aided much like persecuted? WHAT?

The stupid really does sting.

Well, at least we're not "morans"! :dunce:
