Is Jesus the answer to America’s problems?

This reaction to Governor Palin of Alaska seems to point to the answer of the above question to be “yes.”

Can anyone take a look at the history of the Evangelicals and see a solution to our problems in America other than to bring on Armageddon and the end of times? Is the rapture the solution that the American voters will vote for on November 4th?

I listened very carefully to Gov. Huckabee’s campaign and it was based on an Amendment to the Constitution to bring the words of Jesus Christ into the Constitution itself. He had the backing from many States in the Bible belt. Has Gov. Sarah Palin picked this up for her own campaign to be able to lead in case of the death or retirement of Senator McCain?

Evangelical history shows that anything done in the name of Jesus Christ is justified and many of these militant bible thumpers will see to it that anyone with an Evangelical background will be in the White House at any cost or essential action.

Will the rest of us non-evangelicals simply be sacrificed in His name to bring on the rapture promised to the Christian people of the world?

Is this how America will end? If it cannot be done in 2008, will it be done in stages by allowing the public and private schools to teach the New Testament and the promise of the rapture? Will we see the new government build up an army and nuclear weapons to destroy Islam and then Israel? Then and only then can these Evangelical people be accepted into the kingdom of heaven. Are we really any better than Militant Islam?

I find it very scary, this. The fact that people, politicians, want to reinstate religion as a part of the state. Particularly since the US is one of the world's leading countries still, it could take a very nasty turn. I mean, can't people think rationally enough to understand that praying to Jesus in these matters changes NOTHING? Just like it changed nothing for those poor Jews who prayed to god during the Holocaust.

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
