At-least the poll isn't on FOX news site.

O man this comment made my day

" Sounds closed minded to me. Why are people so tolerant of every religion except Christianity? Why do these people want to deny their history? Are these people flagging all the comments they don't agree with to have them removed? I don't see many comments with opposing views. What happened to free speech?"

Might be that other religions are not trying to shove their damn religion in our fucking history books.

"why are people so tolerant of every religion except Christianity"

"america was founded on Judeo-Christan eth-" *self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head*

well I can't say you didn't warn me. there are few things that make me rage harder than that Judeo-Christian bullshit. it's nothing more than taking morals and ethics that belong to the world and annexing them under your own banner, which is ironically quite ignorant if not flat-out unethical in and of itself. like the idea that killing is wrong belongs to Christians or something? what the fuck.

but the best was this one:

"Why NOT present history as it was and allow our children form their own opinions?"

the unbelievable amount of unintentional irony in that statement is enough to make my head explode.

G.O.D. being taught in school is one step to terrorism. Lolz. Wasn't the US found on religion?

Nope. Hope I'm getting wooshed

I hope so also, but i have a few people on Facebook that try that thought process with me all the fucking time and it makes me rage so hard.

These morans seem to forget that our money even says GOD on it and they want to pretend that our founding fathers weren't god fearing republicans like ourselves!

I think you meant founded because of religion? I was under the belief that many pilgrimages were sent out because of the want for religious freedom. Something like Baptists went to S.Carolina and Quakers up north; some other group that I can't think of at the top of my head. Basically a mixing pot of Christian sects.

Common misconception.


The Jamestown settlers and prior settlements where here before the Pilgrims.

Before the Pilgrims this was a purely financial endeavor.

Mohammed:

fixed that for ya

[Kuya]

It's pretty clear, as plow has pointed out, that the clear incidences of higher violence in the muslim community is the reason why depictions of Mohamed are given far more respect than images of Jesus. This double standard is quite upseting.

[Plow]

wrong thread, I'm on the other side in this one

[Kuya]

I am only agreeing with your point from a previous thread.

[Plow]

well, regardless of your trolling

it's sad how many of these people don't realize how important letting people make their own decisions is to their own beliefs

[benjamus]

The hypocrisy in claiming a relativist stance about religious views without granting the same latitude to people who aren't also honky white jesus freaks. Pussy relativist arguments in general even ignoring the hypocrisy of it coming from you. The fact that religious converts are intellectual infants desperately compensating for their lack of convictions, culture and morality. Offending people like you cleanses my conscience.

so sometimes i quote things off BG on FB because they are interesting or funny, this being one of them. incidentally this causes havoc when the many christains i happen to know respond. i would like to thank Cadsuane on this one for the few laughs and eyebrows raised. no screenshots because i am lazy and fail, but here are a few quotes in response to Cadsuane's troll post quote, and apologies for the boring ones (skip to the last).

"CS Lewis teacher of Oxford
Dr. Marvin Olasky former Communist yale grad phd
Dr. Wayne Grudem harvard grad Phd
Dr. Wilder Smith 3 PHDs one of the formemost minds on the aids epidemic
Augustine a wonderful thinker and writer of volumes of work respected for more than a thousand years... See More
Aquanis' works show is great intellectual capacity quite clearly
The bible as inspired and encouraged thought, the whole book of proverbs is an advocate for thought, Solomon attracted kings from all over the world because of his wisdom... and let me tell you there are some wondwerful thinkers today in the church, you don't hear about it because you're immersed in secular culture, and you have to remember the university is a Christian invention."

"by the way correction: olasky is doctrine in journalism and grudem a doctrine theology not phds wilder smith is the one with three phds: chemistry biology and medicine "

"you refuse to face the truth so you use the most outlandish examples to try and prove you're fantasy that God doesn't exist, something that takes much more mental capacity to try to do: and thats why you all are so "brainy". Christians realize knowledge can make people pompous so there is a balance with them: they will use knowledge with humility: virtue: rather than knowledge for self exaltation which is pompous and hurtful to others."

"miracles are ignored all the time, does not mean they don't exist, I could name one major one right now that you probably have overlooked, just ask... And if you know the mathematical improbability that the universe was created by chance you would know it is impossible chance exists and that the universe does have a Designer who does intervene. You... See More should reject the lies of the big business who make money off of the ethics and ideas of chance and evolution, many times they have ignored the clear evidence that supports biblical truth... I have a good deal of info to support the flood account. If you would like me to write it downb for you let me know."

to which i steal an elvis quote (thank you sir)
"Dear God,

Please dry up all ME oil, give 'all' Jews all of 'the Land of Israel' (throw the Palestinians into the sea), kill every non-Mubarek/Karzai/Abdullah/et. al supporter, continue to prop up the freedom loving/America friendly frontwards (backwards) family-dictatorship in Saudi Arabia, ensure American full-spectrum dominance in the ME and ... oh yea, 'freedom' (McDonalds, Friends, Walmart, DynCorp, Haliburton), so that we can stop hearing about Muslims.

Lets move on to something new. New paradigm please. This shit is now officially boring"

more replies:
"All the land Israel has obtained from the Palestinians they gained in conflicts they were defending themselves in which totallly abolishes the claim that they are manifest destiny... There has always been Jews in Israel, Zionism has been happening much longer than 1948... and the only reason why the gates are kept is because there would be loss of ... See Morelife due to the suicide bombing, Israel is spending a mass of resources to keep human life from perishing both palestinian and jewish lives. Do not buy the neo anti semetism.... Ben I would dread to see the day you curse the bread line because you miss Big Macs, Kosher ones at that... there is nothing wrong with respecting an individual's right to live right."

"i said dont buy it because first not too long ago I told you of some the hatred and verbal abuse towars jews living in sf I witnessed... Its big there... Secondly I said don't buy it because it is new... Meaning you haven't bought it but im warning you not to but it... Big difference... There is a lot of anti-semetism in the current anti-Israel ... See Moresentiment...and if my instincts are correct, for a long time ive belived you to be of semetic background... I did not say you were anti semetic I said dont buy it because in other regions of CA the major weapon in anti israeli warfare is hatred towards jews: something I vow to fight till im dead or it disappears. And you calling me a bigot is im sure offensive as some making the worst racial assault on an african american you could make... I find that highly offensive, it is strict within my discipeship not to hate anyone but love them as myself regarless of practices or origens. And in all that effort to be called a bigot hurts me."

"and israel is the only country that has ever existed that has been asked to give back it obtained in a conflict defending itself."

"I stand in the way of the extermination of the Jews, and the wiping out of the nation of Israel, ethnocentrism has nothing to do with what I feel is right."

"I think americans have an important weight in the balance... And Im almost reluctant to mention it because we're debating, but the miracle is the fullfillment of prophecy: there has never been a nation reconstituted and after several hundred years at that... The dispersement and reuniting of the jews was prophesied in the old testament hundreds of ... See Moreyears before 70 AD, God has been proven sovreign(not the only example) which would require His intervention throughout history... There is a satistic that shows the improbability of this being made by men, but since it is in the realm of impossibility of the natural it is clear it was supernatural. The canon of scripture has not changed, it is utterly concurrent with all historical evidence: the prophecy of Israel reconstituting fullfilled is a miracle... And there has been no nation throughout the history of earth who has ever reformed."

omitted are my many troll posts that are boring and rude. if you guys want me to post anything in response to these i will if they are funny, otherwise i'm bored with it since its a re-ocurring scenario with this guy.

This just hit the newspapers in Norway ( http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/ur...cle3661277.ece ) "Changes history for all texas students

highlights:

- Slavery to be renamed "Atlantic Triangular Trade"
- Imperialism => expantionism
- Joseph McCarthy could be deed of necessity
- U.N. and environmental organizations Threat to U.S. individual Citizens freedom
- removal of several prominent individuals, including civil rights champions.

suggested but removed: requiring the full name of Barrack HUSSEIN Obama to be listed.

Jonathan Saenz at The Liberty Institute argues that it's due time that they turn around what the democrats started.

"They're making a big deal out of a few small changes. The people of Texas are just trying to stop atheists and the liberal lobby from taking over our history."

etc. etc.

ngh....

[aduidarnenye]

It really shocked me to see on the news yesterday that there was debate on whether Barrack Obama's middle name was appropriate for inclusion or not. I assume this is because his middle name is "Hussein", which is associated with Middle Eastern people, namely Sadam Hussein? Amazing.

[Kuya]

See? Islamophobia.
