The right wing christians consider themselves holier than
thou
because,
unlike people who can think for themselves, they've been
brainwashed
into believing that if they lock step to 1) Christianity, and
2)
BushCo, that they will be blessed with abundance and
happiness.
What
really makes me laugh is that these are the same people who
think
that
Muslims are crazy and brainwashed for some of their beliefs!



I suppose the left wing Christians are all just normal
Christians,
huh?

Some are, some aren't.

But not with conservative Christians.....they are all crazy and
brainwashed....right?

Can you spin any faster, Jim? Just like your hero Rush, you
interject
something I've never, ever stated into the fray. Where did I say
"all"?

A fanatic is a fanatic. Most that are of the
liberal mindset, however, aren't so narrow minded.


But not with conservative Christians.....they are all narrow
minded.....right?

Again, Jim, where did I say "all"?


Ever hear of the word inference? When you say "The right wing
Christians "
you infer all right wing Christians. If you want to make a
distinction of
only *some*, then say so. Otherwise you infer *all*.

Got it?

Jeezus, that's a gem!!!! If one could infer *all*, then how come the
exact same thing can't be said about *some*?
Come on, spin a few more times.

So if Jim says, "People from Georgia are really stupid," it's okay
because there probably are *some* people from Georgia who really
*are*
stupid?

Where did I say it was "okay"? JimH is the one who thinks that it's
okay to "infer" something that hasn't ever been said!


Did I say you said it was "okay"? I don't recall that. I *do* recall
asking you a question.

So if Bassy says that it is not OK to infer that all people from Georgia are
stupid when I say that the people of Georgia *are* stupid......then would it
be fair to *infer* that Bassy is the only stupid one from Georgia?

Hmmmm.

Let's see. Hey Bassy, how long is a piece of string?

Sounds like logic with validity to me.
