At a morning sermon Sunday in Northern Virginia, Republican
lieutenant governor candidate E.W. Jackson, a Chesapeake pastor, said
people who don't follow Jesus Christ "are engaged in some sort of false
religion."

It is a good thing you moved to the PRM isn't it?

Don't you think they are all false religions?


Indeed, but I'm not running for public office. If I were, I would keep
my personal religious beliefs to myself, because I don't believe
religion should be part of political decision-making. It's one thing for
an office seeker to say, "I'm Buddhist (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, et
cetera)." It's quite another to say "I'm a Christian, and if you aren't,
well, your religion is bull****, but mine isn't."

Freedom of religion!

Politicians just play to their base. Hillary suddenly decided she was
Jewish when she ran for the Senate in New York.



You mean because she joked that the second husband of her grandmother
was Jewish? You equate that with Slimemonger Jackson insulting everyone
who is not his sort of Christian?

She exploited religion to her political benefit.

Harry, 3every time you say something like 'rightie/christian/fundie" or 'christian righties' you're bringing religion into politics. Besides, since you say you don't believe in 'religion' or 'religions' then what do you care anyhow?



Once again, Tim, I am *not* a politician, nor do I have any interest in
running for public office, nor do I care if a politician *is* religious,
so long as he or she does not try to push those religious beliefs onto
society.

I do, however, find the new pope's remarks in the last week or so
interesting, among them these on poverty: “the consequence of a
worldwide choice, an economic system that leads to this tragedy, an
economic system that has at its centre the idol of money.”

He obviously thinks his constituents are.



Hopefully, his hoped-for constituents will show him the hook.

I don't expect politicians to be perfectly honest. If they were, they'd
never get elected. I do, however, expect them to not try to shovel their
religious beliefs down the throats of the populace.

Harry has become nothing more than a parrot of liberal political
propaganda, a role he delights in. Virtually everything he posts may be
found by a cursory read of daily, liberal news articles. Gets old
having his faithful adherence left wing talking points "shoved" down
your throat, day after day, week after week, year after year. It's a
religion to him.

He's been doing it since Al Gore lost to GWB. That's when rec.boats
started to go down the tubes. Harry (of course) blames it all on ultra
right wing "Republi-trash".






rec.boats started going down the tubes when the "Republi-trash" in the
U.S. House impeached Clinton.

Your low expectations are an indicator of the reason we have suck poor
quality Govt. officials,top to bottom.

How is a minor state official in a state that you don't live in
shoveling anything down YOUR throat?
You root this stuff out like a wild hog looking for tubers


Why? Because these hypocritical faith-healing religious bigots are like
cancers; they need to be sought out and excised from the commonweal to
prevent them from getting a foothold, spreading and causing damage.

It's bad enough Virginia has an ayatollah named Ken Cuccinelli running
for governor on the Republican ticket.

What the hell does that have to do with your side of the river?



"...hypocritical faith-healing religious bigots are like cancers..."

You know, they spread...like cancers. You get one religious bigot in
office and there will be others. Or they'll run for higher political
office, perhaps Congress. Then they'll be spreading their bigotry and
superstition on national legislation.

Now, I know there have been clergy of many faiths who have served in
Congress. I'm not talking about them, generally, but only the ones who
see as their mission the spreading of hatred. So, I had no objection to
the political life of John Danforth of Missouri, a minister, even though
I was on the opposite side of many of his political positions, such as
support for the least competent Associate Justice, Clarence Thomas.
Danforth isn't a religious bigot.
