Psst, I never mentioned Bush in this thread.

Good because like you he gives Christians a bad name. Most Christians are not like the over zealous extremists who wish nothing more than to force their beliefs on others.

Yep, how could you do much better at making others loathe Christians?

Wasn't it from the Bible that Adams drew his inspiration to free the slaves?

This is America where people are free to express their beliefs and ideas. Why does that bother you so much?

I'm not bothered by the fact that you are free to express your beliefs. I do find your beliefs to be rather extreme. Now if I were to be a Christian I probably would be bothered that your views makes the rest of us look bad.

Damn admins are faster than my edit button! Anyhow, more eloquently put... please take this extended holiday weekend to spend more time brainwashing your poor children.

The reprogramming won't take on any of us RIP but I am sure you kids are not in tune with the tin foil hats and are oversaturated on the Kool-Aid you run into their IVs. I am sure there is more than enough time to corrupt them. Save your breath here.

Or perhaps they aren't taking to the brainwashing and that is why you are here as much as you are, out of sheer frustration? Your inane post deserves no real response as it was already pointed out to you about the little difference between the 1800's and today.

Having a Christian president is not to be feared, besides, Jesus was a Democratic Leader. But having the administration that claims to be Christian, steals an election, deceives the people, dosen't feed the needy not care for the ederly, starts wars (Afghanastan was justifiable, not Iraq), hates people of color (uses tokens to keep the ACLU at bay), has not regard for creation. I could go on but, Anand would have to buy more hard drives just for my post
Some day this will be looked back on by the world and people will ask, why would a country elect someone by blind faith, this whackjob president must have though He-was-God!

I am not a 'Christian' as per the definition so loosely thrown around these ways, so maybe I have just missed it, but what new religious beliefs has this President 'forced' on anyone? I still don't go to any church, I still drink when I choose to, and can still look at naked women, even ones other than my wife, whenever I feel like it. Hell, I can still even worship Gozer the Gozarian in my front yard on a Sunday if the mood struck me. Sure, he has defended positions that have long been a part of our national heritage, like the anti-abortion issue, and taken the same somewhat moral stances that all of his predecessors who had a stance have taken ontopics like gay marriage, but what whacky extremist fundamentalist religious beliefs has he forced on our nation?

After the demonstration from this one, absolutely.

If your thread taught us anything, it's that those who so adamently oppose the expression of Christianity are often stupidly blind to their own bigotry.

Lots of generalizing going on. I don't think anyone is opposed to Christianity. Rather, it's the radical element that has seized the helm and hypocritically broadcasting their false and distorted faith that everyone up here (and elsewhere) is criticizing.

Call them Fristians, not Christians.

I agree to a point, but there are a few here that do in fact oppose all Christians.

Obviously! Since President Carter was soundly defeated in his re-election bid.

former-President Carter he walks the walk!

 

[WiseOldDude]

YES! when that man says that God talks directly to him. How many people have died under the current president because he actually belives that God TOLD him to invade Iraq or similiar decision?

I have not problem with a man that talks TO God
but when that man believes that God talks TO him, then we are at the mercy of whatever mental illness he is suffering

There's a fine line between expressing your beliefs/ideas and overt proselytizing.

Is having a Christian president something to fear?

Hell yes. If it's these "christians"

And in America today, it most certainly is.

or if it's one of those Christians who say that gay marriage is worse than 9/11.

John Quincy Adams was the sixth president of the United States. John Adams (no middle name) was the second president, and the father of John Quincy Adams IIRC.

Sorry, just had to slide that in there. Carry on.

I was wondering why it took about 45 posts before someone called him on it...

 

[BBond]

That's another good reason why people shouldn't vote for sons of former presidents.

The first example that comes to my mind is the stem cell issue. Bush says he will veto any law that congress tries to pass that will provide federal funding for stem cell research.
