This is a low point for a protestant nation. The pope and "papastry" was absolutely and fully hated by our forefathers, and USA was the only country save Cananda in the entire new world that hated and rejected the satanic sin of "papistry". Is it suprising that the most wealthy, free, happy, and decent countries in the new world by a long shot were always USA and Canada?

And now our president, a supposed protestant, is indulging in gross and obscene papistry int he white house, a house built and dedicated on eternal emnity towards the papists and their sin.

Freedom and papistry are eternal enemies. Democracy and papistry are enternal enemies. If the anti-christ wants to visit a country, why not one of the miserable cesspools of Latin American, which have suffered infinite misery under the heels of these anti-christs? Because those places are ugly and defiled, even the chief satanic anti-christ himself doesn''t want to visit there.

Bush has sunk our nation to a new low, kissing the bloody damned hem of this monster and his monstrous creed.

lovegetpeace Zionism actually started around the turn of the century and for a purpose. It actually began in England for the purpose of bringing the Holy Land back into Christian hands. It was given to the Jews after their experience in World War II partly as a way to allow them to exist without persecution. There is also a more sinister reason. All of the major fundamentalist churches believe and have since the beginning of the century that the End Times have begun. ( I don''t believe that) A part of that belief is that Jesus can not return until the HOLY LAND has been reclaimed by the Jewish people. Many fundamentalists send huge amounts of money to Jewish settlers who do not leave their land in the peace negotiations. Parts of it have not yet been reclaimed. The Shebar Towers area is in Lebanon and part of the Golan Heights is in Syrian control. Instead of promoting peace many fundamentalists promote division for this reason. Once again extremism is a barrier to peace.

libagenda sounds awfully like our old friend singinrick. In case you''re not aware of singinrick, he had to change his name because everyone was ingnoring his overbearing in your face Christianity. So linda, don''t waste your keyboard time on trying logic on him.

Hey Muddie

I sure as he11 don''t think this country was founded on Catholic Principals. If it were founded on religious pricipals at all it would be those of the Puritans and Quakers - both of which left the Papacy a long time ago - remember Henry VIII? Actually outside of Mexicans and the Irish, who the he11 is Catholic in this country anyway?

[lindaredtail]

libagenda You said that you were not intolerant. But you just called Moslems maniacs. If anyone is dishonest with themselves most of all it is you. If you get "picked on" in the forums it''s because you pick on others constantly. Whether its Moslems or Humanists or just anyone who disagrees with you. And that is not right. I most certainly do not owe you an apology. It''s you that owe people an apology. I have to wonder do you do it for a psychological reason. Numerous times and as you just stated all we do criticize Christians. There is an aspect to Christianity that believes that Christians are persecuted which they are not. That is a falsehood. Many believe that persecution is an important part of being a Christian. So do you want to be persecuted? No one here was doing that until you started on other people. If I have to I will go back through every page and find every incidence.

Folks,
On May 15, 1948, the American President advocated the creation of the State of Israel in the heart of the Moslem middle-east. 2 years later, 4.5 millions Palestinians were forced out of their homes and lands without compensation.

I am not going to say that this is Terrorism but I will say what a infinite price America is paying in Treasury and blood because of this religious decision 60 years ago. This price keeps exploding as long as we continue to provide UnConditional Support to Israel. I cannot believe we care a lot more of Israel than of ourselves.

2 weeks after 9/11, Osama Bin Ladin released his 1st video. In the video, he clearly listed the top 3 reasons for bombing the twin towers. The 1st reason was the US military base 60 miles from their Moslem''''s holy Mecca inside Saudi Arabia. The 2nd reason was the Palestinian crisis.

On Osama Bin Ladin 2nd released video, Osama states that they will destroy America Economically and not Militarily. So far, they are winning.

According to a recent report by CNN.com, Anti-Semitics is exploding around the world. I just sit here and wonder why? Personally, I blame only the Zionists inside Israel.

hungry1968 You are right. There is a real lot of "looking for Armaggedon" going on as I call it. All extremism is dangerous to the security of the world. Do you know that GWB is the first president in decades to produce new nuclear weapons. He requested the commissioning of a smaller type. When he is asked if he believes in Armaggedon he refuses to answer the question. There is a news tape of him at a town meeting style event where he refuses to answer the question. But in other friendlier forums among others who believe as he does he has twice answered yes. This way of thinking is no less dangerous than any other extremist. It is more than possible that Armaggedon could become a self fulfilling prophecy.

libagenda I am very far from gullible. Some archeologists have discredited the Jesus Family Tomb but many have not. I have also read the book and studied everything I could find and have drawn my own conclusions about its authenticity. Do I want to eliminate Christianity? Most certainly not. There are many moderate Christians who are very good people and I know many. The problem here is not the faith. Its the extremism that is the issue. And you are an extremist. No matter what form of religious extremism all have one thing in common. You call me intolerant, but you want is for me to tolerate your intolerance which I will not do. Nor do I accept in any way that the things you post are fact. No one was telling you that you could not worship where you chose. You were the one who brought up secular humanism, ect. and showed intolerance for everyone else''s beliefs. It''s about fanaticism, zealotry, and extremism which is a state of mind no matter what faith you belong that I object to.

mudrose - After reading your comments I don''t believe you have a soul.

2 birds of a feather are standing together. Both have no concern for the people in which they have been entrusted. They both capitalize on there subjects fear and paranoia. They both are masters of lies and deceit. They both protect felons and criminal from prosecution.

[mudrose-2009]

Anyhow, the jury rests. Hungry1968 just boldly claimed that he has "no regrets" to have the same mindset as a madman and a suicide bomber.

A most enjoyable reading. It was quite refreshing. Hope you listened to Bush''s speech earlier. It was very uplifting and sort of like the America I''ve always known and loved. My God and My Country. I''m off to D.C. tomorrow to see the Pope. It will be most rewarding for this very, very old soul.

[hotpaulie]

mudrose - While Bill Clinton was leaving office his cabinet gave the newly elected Bush administration information on al qaeda backed activities relating to the USS Cole and extremist activities in Africa. They were ignored. THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION DIDN''T BELIEVE THE TERRORISTS WERE A THREAT...until after 9/11. These attacks occurred during HIS administration for that very reason.

liberalagenda like I said you are at it again. I know that I do honest research from objective sources. You constantly put out what the hierarchy of fundamentalism preaches constantly. One Christian theme park even puts dinosaurs in Noah''s Ark which is utterly ridiculous and anyone who is reasonable knows it. If we had existed at the time of the dinosaurs we would be the extinct species. So much of what is preached is intellectually and scientifically dishonest. Your research is not honest. Another case is the Jesus Family Tomb which Christians immediately attempted to discredit as being false. And made inaccurate sociological conclusions. Yet some of these same people who discredited the science now want to use the same science to retest the Shroud of Turin and prove that it is real. None of this is sincere research. It''s what Christians love to accuse others of. Science or no science with an agenda.

[rudy654-2009]

don''''t. Rick wanted me to say it, so I did.

Like my post started, "You want me to say it, I''''ll say it - I don''''t care...."
Posted by hungry1968 at 04:13 PM

Oh, okay. I thought we had both extremes there for a minute.

[rudy654-2009]

What''''s the alternative? Obama''''s spiritual mentor, Reverend Wright, or his political mentor, William Ayers, the unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist.
Posted by mudrose at 04:11 PM

Of course there is always people like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, etc. and their hatred for America, as an alternative.
