Jesus would be horrified, especially because he never asked anyone to worship him. We totally misunderstand his role, which was not "God substitute" but that of the Memre or of the Metatron in the Talmud. The entirety of Christianity follows lies (IE Sunday Worship, an absence of Law, pagan holidays, evil doctrines), but you spread lies about them.
The Christian far right is in power and they want more. That is why I address them in this political thread.

But, to pacify you, as I have repeatedly said before, I think religion is a great thing. I just do not want the govt. telling me I have to practice it, which is what the Christian far right is trying to do with people like Palin. Yet, you give her a pass for that, which rather defies belief as you say you are against more govt.

No one here should ever take my attacks on govt. in religion as an attack on the individual right to worship on your own. I think I have said this like 50 times now
