Obama's War Against The Christians

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:

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?

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

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;

You list speaks volumes Dave.

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