If money is god, we have always been a theocracy, and there is no foreseeable change.

We'll eat your baby Blue.

If you have any left after Bush! Lolol.

The founders make one reference to religion in the Constitution, while the entire thing is a blatant check on government power.

Our government will be subverted by - the government.

I do and always will support keeping organized religion OUT of politics.
I want to keep a BLATANT check on the power of religious zealots, damn right I do. I want to keep them as marginal as possible. They can go have their silly delusions and magic hokus-pokus all they want, I don't care. But the minute anyone, even a Christian, tells me I have to do as he says, or "God" will come after me-----There's going to be a problem. I guarantee you that.

Why don't we work to keep organized labor zealots out of politics then? Their henchman come after you in a much more visceral way than God.

Yeah, right. Union thugs are everywhere. The country is crawling with them.
They hide in every dark corner. Why, one bashed my head in just this morning..............

Anyhow, the point wasn't "God" coming after me. I don't think I have to worry about that. I was referring to the use of religion as a tool by propagandists and politicians. Go back and read through the posts before you reply. And, NO, I'm not an Atheist.

Speaking of organized labor henchmen, where's D-Ray?

Again, moot point. I simply dismiss the premise that religion will have anything to do with Obama being ousted. The blog you cited is pablum trying to scare voters away from whomever Obama's opponent is. Borrowing money the average voter understands that we don't have to create his brand of social justice just won't fly anymore.

These type of people make my skins crawl. The Tea Party amuses me. The Religious Right disgusts me.

Huh. How do you make a distinction? Sarah Palin- speaking in tongues at her "church". Is she a Tea Party favorite, or a leader in the Religious Right?
