Harry, I think I know where you're coming from.

Foad can't seem to understand that there are as many left-wing religious folk as there are
right-wing religious folk. To him, only the right-wing folk are 'bad'. The left-wingers, which of
course include most of the Black and Hispanic religious folk, are super fine people!

It ain't from Marx, although I do understand that misquote in context.
Marx wrote that the real purpose of religion was to create a fantasy
world for the impoverished. The realities of life for the poor make it
extremely difficult for them to be comfortable, so religious belief
tells them they will find comfort and happiness in "the next life."
Religion sugarcoats or serves as an opiate for the poor.

Au contraire, Mr. Harvard graduate. It IS derived from Marx:

"Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of
real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the
sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and
the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
John H. -- Hope you're having a great day!

Spoof.

you trying to say that it wouldn't be easy to find other Christian

Hmm. How about that Catholic group in your state, America Needs
Fatima,



part of the right-wing American Society for the Defense of
Tradition,



Family, and Property. It is linking the tornadoes that hit Illinois
last



weekend to the state�s recent approval of a marriage equality
bill. God



sent tornadoes to Illinois to punish the state for passing a
marriage



equality bill?







What sect(s) comprise the Family Research Council? Now there is an



organization of bat****-crazy, controlling religious nutcases.



What about them, Harry. You continually post that they mean nothing
to you, yet on the other hand, you constantly post of them for your
criticism.





They're a force for evil, and are among the religious groups that
work

to push their backwards beliefs onto society as a whole.



How about Ken Copeland, who recently said on a Veterans� Day
broadcast, ...


What about him? Does he really bother you? or do you just want
somebody to kick?


Yes, hate-filled, ignorant religious assholes like Copeland bother me
because of what they spread.



The resentment and subtle activism you display makes you as guilty as
the "hate-filled, ignorant religious assholes" that you despise.

The bottom line is you have the right to ignore them, same as anyone
else who do not believe in their preachings. Conversely, those who
choose to believe have an equal right to do so.

Not much can be jammed down your throat if you keep your mouth shut.





Oh, really? Try explaining that to a woman in Texas denied access to
women's health resources because the assholes who run that state decided
allowing that access would be in violation of their religious beliefs.


Why are you concerned with who is elected in Texas and the beliefs of
those who elected them? You live in Maryland, last I knew.



He can't find anything to complain about in Maryland. He's extremely
well fed, his sugar mama buys him toys, and there is an Apple store
nearby. What more could a guy ask for?

1. Religious ignorance spreads like cancer. Texas sends legislators to
Washington, D.C., and some of those legislators try to infect the rest
of their country with their sicknesses.

2. The women of Texas are being oppressed by their ignorant lawmakers.
Texas is still part of the United States, for the moment, anyway, and I
think it behooves us to try to eliminate oppression in this country. I
was concerned with the blatant segregation and oppression of blacks in
the South during the middle part of the last century, and I am concerned
about the oppression of gays in this country now. Just because it is
Texas that is a septic tank of oppression doesn't mean it is ok for me
to ignore it because I live in a different state.



You have my permission to ignore everything that doesn't concern you.
Now be a good boy and go round up all of those past due tax bills and go
pay them.

Uh huh. So, were do you draw the line? What reasoning says oppression
of women that occurs in other parts of the world are their business, not
ours. Same with gays. Following your logic and sense of modern day
manifest destiny, we should be active in eliminating lawmakers all over
the planet, including people like Putin who doesn't like gays.




Have you ever tried to talk sense to an emotionally unstable woman? You
have about as much chance of getting through to Harry.

Many of us worked to try to eliminate racial oppression in this country.
Progress has been made, but there is much left to do. Gay rights have
been extended, but there is much left to do. Womens' rights have been
extended, but there is much left to do. Perhaps you are satisfied with a
country that makes no progress in terms of rights for the oppressed who
live here, but I am not. Following your logic, we'd still have slavery
in this country, eh?

I think we should put our own house in order and set an example for
other countries around the world. Sending troops around the world to
resolve oppression in other countries doesn't work too well.

Religious beliefs seem to be at the root of much of the oppression in
this country. "Scripture" was misused to perpetuate slavery, and it is
being used these days to oppress women, gays, and other groups.


Laws are written with certain intent. Smart lawyers can easily twist the
laws around to suit their needs. If we are oppressed its our govt. who's
doing it. Especially the current office holders.

We understand the progressive mindset and its desire to get rid of the authority that the

It is interesting that you leave the Muslim people alone and do not go after them because
they are engaged in the opression of women's rights under the cover of their religious
beliefs.


Quit picking on Muslims. It wasn't that long ago that our president was
one of them.

I think that's what's going on in today's political arena. "Big Brother is benevolent toward you" "Big Brother will take care of you." "Big brother is owed your obedience."

Big brother is taking over God's job. In which direction are we supposed
to bow when we say our prayers? I'm guessing, toward Washington D.C.
