I continue to be amazed at how they can twist and turn and change the words of their lord and saviour to suit their actions of the day!

As I was driving around the City yesterday, I was amazed at the billions of dollars tied up in houses of worship. I’m just speaking of the actual buildings and real estate, never mind the golden chalices and tithing idiots!

Of course, Jesus would be so proud of these monuments to power & greed!

WWimaginaryJD? They really don’t care!

It was about all of Jesus' work that was left OUT of the bible.<br /> <br /> I guess it didn't fit.<br /> <br /> and, yes, this morning, it was all about how horrible they were to try and question anything about this bible book and/or christianity.<br /> <br /> Where are the christians in this christian nation? I can't find them here in Denver! Forgot to add the bit about the “derogatory” piece on the History Channel last night. It was about all of Jesus’ work that was left OUT of the bible.

I guess it didn’t fit.

and, yes, this morning, it was all about how horrible they were to try and question anything about this bible book and/or christianity.

Where are the christians in this christian nation? I can’t find them here in Denver!

You know, when I think about it, I haven't met any while living in Nebraska, Arizona or Southern California...<br /> <br /> ...they must have all been eaten by Jerry Fallwell.<br /> <br /> I have actually stopped watching CNN because of how shamelessly they pander to their "Christian" audience. The same goes for the Today Show.

If you want to know what's really going on in the world then read the foreign press such as the BBC, Der Spiegel, and Le Mond (the latter two have English editions).

I think all of Time Warner (CNN’s parent) is slipping into the theists’ hands: I get Time magazine and the volume of religious stuff in there is increasing week by week. Articles such as why we should teach the bible in public schools, about the sorry lives of preachers’ wives, and editorials by James Dobson just to mention a few.
