Mikey Weinstien tells us about the anti-Semitism at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Bush tells us that he is fighting in Iraq because God told him to go and kill Muslims. Gen. Boykin says that God put Bush in the White House. So read this piece by Robert Koehler linked to in the title to this posting.Our Department of War is being run by the U.S. Evangelical Taliban who is in control of the most technologically advanced deadly war machine in the history of the world and our decider in chief says we are on a holy crusade. We know there are atheists in foxholes, but the Nuts are running the asylum.
See my past posting on Blackwater Evangelical mercenaries. Peter Nuhn
you guys have a good weekend and i will pretend at church to pray for you.btw if you guys want to meet other atheists go to mainline protestant or catholic church but stay away from mega churchs etc.there is nothing wrong with a little fantasy in life as long as you know its fantasy.baptist and methodist have good food.anyone know about the others.

Sometimes our unskilled workers suffer from the “that job’s not good enough for me” disease. And if someone is willing to risk life and limb to cross the border and do it instead, I can’t say I blame hhim/her for taking the job.
Presbyterians throw a good meal on too, as do Episcopalians. Epis are pretty easy to get along with. But the food’s not worth suffering thru a sermon over.
karen,
I heard episcopalians are pretty liberal though. We have an episcopalian church here with a female minister. (I grew up in male only catholic, so I was surprised when I heard that.) I’ve never been but I’ve heard she’s not too bad. I could never go to church just for food though. Not unless I was homeless, and even then I doubt I’d be that desperate.
reason,
But we can’t just drop funding for the ones that are over there. We can agree not to raise it, but even then I’d worry. This administration has been corrupt enough about not supplying the troops adequately (yet supposedly the liberals hate the troops, give me a break).
Also, the kind of jobs with the awful conditions that these immigrants are working are not jobs nor conditions most people would want to take.
Enjoy your weekend. Do me a favor though and sit in the front row and fart really loud.

Yeah. I think, except for UUs, Epis are looked at as next-to heathens by the other sects; they’re that librool.
The church here doesn’t have a she-minister, but i know they exist. The local Methodists has a she-minister for a while, and I attended there when she was in the pulpit. But the old crone die-hards got rid of her ASAP.
Don’t go to church if you become homeless, darlin’. Come stay with me.
karen,
If I remember right, the Episcopalians also allow homosexual clergy. They also allow gay marriage. Though all of that caused a major split in the church. I guess equal rights is still a little far off.
That’s a very kind offer. If I ever find myself homeless, I’ll certainly live on your doorstep for a while and fling excrement at the passing theists.
evilatheistconquerer: “sit in the front row and fart really loud” That was pretty good but which targets are we hoping to hit with fart faces?
hominid,
Everyone behind him.
EA…are you claiming that we do not have an illegal immigration problem…?
phreedumb, I can’t speak for EA, but for myself there is no “illegal immigration” problem.
The U.S. has a 200 billion dollar trade deficit with China. So why do shirts, shoes, toys, etc. have more rights to enter the U.S. than people?
If you want to talk about “illegal immigration”, why not talk about the “illegal immigration” of products that are made with slave labor?
Why does a TV or car have more rights to cross borders than a person?
phreedm,
I’m saying that the government and the media are hyping it up way more than is actually there. The whole immigration thing has turned into some racist rant by the right. I have a lot of sympathy and compassion for these people. They are living in truly shit conditions. They have every right to try and find a better life for themselves and their families. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. What don’t you get about that?
And sorry for taking so long to get back. I’ve had finals for the past week and a half so I’m kind of out of it.
