Obama's War Against The Christians

[icenine]

This is probably the smartest guy in Congress...he knows how stupid the people who vote for him are and acts accordingly. Who cares about the truth if it gets you re-elected to your government job:

Gohmert is so stupid it's a wonder he knows how to breathe.

Another case of creating a nonsense bill, knowing it will be opposed, in order to create a so called "Attack on ___________" out of thin air. This is also the principle behind the relentless "..under God.." fight involving the Pledge of Allegience. It has NEVER been constitutional for the public school system to require students to recite the religious words. They just got away with it for a few decades, is all.

There is no war on Christianity in the military or anywhere else, and never has been. The whole thing is bogus and little more than a political tool. If churches are seeing a drop in membership, maybe it's just because people just aren't interested anymore? A function of the free market? Maybe they've been seen for what they really are----another form of government, another form of control?

IMHO you will need to do one heck of a lot of searchin (Diogenes anyone) to find any christianity here.

[barbara]

When I first rest the title of this thread I thought it said "war on Christmas" and I rolled my eyes at how early the nut cases were starting on that this year.
Joke was on me.... Same nut cases, different war.

Actually Dave I think the mindset of Pat Robertson and the 700 club is becoming mainstream in some parts of the nation. I do not see a decline in religious belief.
Hence the attack on women bills, Bachman, etc.

My daughter actually watches the 700 club....
Look at the your governor

[Rex E.]

Well...God gave us all free will.....it seems that many no longer would like to purchase what organized religions are trying to sell.

Just the free market...nothing to see here......

There is NOTHING you can tell me about these freaks I don't already know. I live less than 2 miles from Regent University and the Robertson Cult Compound.

Below is the list of things I like about them;

Succinct list.

[icenine]

You list speaks volumes Dave.

I think the FBI could fill in a few things you left out.

Indeed. Even this nominal Methodist would rather hang out on this fine site (or AudioKarma;)) on my Sundays.

I need to add a codicil to my will, no hypocritical church services when I shuffle off this mortal coil.:cool:

[merrylander]

It is in our wills, a cardboard box and into the oven, then put the ashes on the mantel

[bobabode]

Yep. Us too, Rob.

I think I'll have to add that a case of good bourbon be sent to the following AudioKarma Fest to be drank in my honor or jeers. (If I don't run afoul of the mods over there...);) That's probably the only way I'll get a chance to attend one of those shindigs, in spirits:cool:.

[piece-itpete]

Oven here too. I told my family to spend the money on the living, Irish wake. They can scatter my ashes if they wish. Maybe over old Republic Steel :D

That case of hooch is a good idea!

Pete

[BlueStreak]

From the lock-box that contains my will and instructions to follow in the event of life threatening injury or illness;

"If anyone attempts to use artificial life support apparatus or feeding tube type utensils for a term exceeding one month, I will haunt you in the most annoying, yet non-violent manor conceivable for the rest of your days on this planet. If you involve the United States Congress, the Republican Party, any religious institution or individuals such as Sean Hannity or Jesse Jackson, the hauntings will be relentless, merciless and unbelieveably disgusting well into the eternal afterlife.

If you spend more than $1,000 disposing of my carcass, know that I regard this as foolishness and I am looking down upon you from the heavens with brow raised and head shaking."

I would ask my relatives to scatter my ashes on my favorite places......but it's kinda difficult to sprikle ashes on an internet porn site. Just give them to my sister..........then they'll end up in the vacuum cleaner.:p

Morbid curiousity maybe but how about a playlist for the wake?:rolleyes:

[icenine]

I always thought it would be hilarious to make a crowd of mourners sit and listen all the way through to Sister Ray by the Velvet Underground.

My tribe's views on remains are pretty simple: I'm not going to be here anymore nor tied to this (broken beyond repair, some way or another) body.

The nearest dumpster works for me. Now go play some live Bruce Hornsby, Grateful Dead, The Band, etc. and party on.

[Rex E.]

My wifes mother donated her body to science. Seems likea good idea. Someone may learn something and it didn't cost her father a dime. He received her ashes about a year later.

Which university does that cadaver decomposition research, CSI stuff. Does it include vulture predation? I've always thought the Tibetans had the right idea about the subject. Feed ya to the birds...;)

That is a good question. It was back in MO so maybe MU.....She was a very sick woman. I sure hope it was helpful for someone else.

I've always thought funerals should be more festive. They're always so damn depressing. We should celebrate someone being freed form this miserable life, not sob over it. Put a Hawaiian shirt on the dead guy, stand him up in the corner and put a beer in his hand, ferfuksake.:)

Yep!:D Always liked the idea of a Norseman's funeral, too. Tie my corpse to the mast with a Mai Tai in my hand amid a few gallons of moonshine and black powder and take turns shooting a flare gun at my sorry ass...:cool: The fish can have what's left over.;)

[bobabode]

Didn't Hunter S. Thompson have his ashes loaded in to some pyrotechnic mortar shells that were launched at his wake?:cool:

I think you will find that the tears shed at funerals are for the survivors out of regret for the things they never said to the deceased but wished they had.

Congressman Gohmert is full of crap. Like all politicized Christians, he passes more gas than gospel. If there is anything that can be gleaned from the intent of the framers of the Constitution, it is that the United States was founded on secular principles and not religious doctrine. The founding fathers well knew that the separation of church and state was the only way to preserve religious freedom. Religious wars had been waged in Europe over its union; and, indeed, some of the first colonists, the Pilgrims, came to America to escape state-sponsored religious persecution. The right to worship freely, without government interference, is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution, and not by God. It is time that people of faith reconcile themselves with this fundamental fact.

Concise and piercingly clear. Thanks.

I fully agree with you, and I think that the majority of people of faith would agree as well.

But it's easy to find the least desirables of any group, they are the one's who are so cock sure of themselves that they feel the necessity of invoking their opinions in the loudest manner possible.

I'm not a broad brush sort of person, and try not to judge the dog by it's fleas.

The majority of people are pretty reasonable, otherwise society wouldn't function at all.

Ever been to an African-American funeral? The funeral service is very sad, with plenty o' wailing and women fainting. Funerals are for mourning, an outpouring of your sadness.

But, the wake is a HUGE party, music, dancing, singing.........

Because passing into heaven from this life is considered something to celebrate.:)

There are some things we white folks could stand to learn from our dark skinned cousins.;)

Odd, because as a family we have always felt that was exactly wht the deceased had done, left this earth with all its pain and gone peacefully to Heaven. Though I confess to having strayed from that path at one time.

At times I get emotional at the loss of a loved one, but after further consideration I've realized that I'm simply crying because I have to deal with the loss because I'm still here.

To be completely honest, when the Good Lord calls me home...he won't have to say it a second time.
