My experience tells me that the more a group loudly proclaims its
"Christianity," the less it follows the teachings of Jesus.

Is anyone keeping an eye on that group? They sound very scary. I bet
they are raping little girls in the name of religion. Seem like the type.

Any sort of religious fundamentalism with growing numbers of followers
is a threat to the sort of secular, non-sectarian society we have here
in this country.

When you have "religious groups" denying science, limiting medical
research, teaching creationism (cretinism, actually), proclaiming Jesus
or Mohammed or whoever, voting for candidates based solely on their
religious beliefs, in the end, it doesn't matter much whether you are in
Iran or in Alabama.


You're paranoia runneth deep Harry. (King James Version Englishe),
The "fundie" Christians in this country are a few years behind and a
few
millions followers lighter than the "fundie" Muslims in Iran, Iraq, and
Saudi Arabia. They'll catch up. In the end, they're all the same
simple-minded rabble, ready to be led and ready to slaughter.

Yes, we "fundie/Bu****es" are deffinately to be feared, Harry.. only
one problem with your last line,, i thought it was us who were going
to be doing the slaughtering!

Ahh. Well, "to slaughter" can be interpreted several ways. I could have
said, "...ready to slaughter others." Probably should have, because that
is what I meant.

Whatever. I still don't see much difference between the religious
simpies in Muslimland and the religious simpies in this country, other
than the Muslim religious simpies have been at it longer. Oh, and please
don't think I am throwing "all" Christians into the "religious simpies"
group. I'm not.

I guess people are free to interpret "IHS" any way that is personally
meaningful.

Of notable interest; the Catholic church had pretty much a monopoly on
organized Christianity for the longest time, especially during the
middle ages. According to their encyclopedia, the translation noted by
the author of the Wiki article is a "wrong understanding". Doesn't
mean that some folks don't see it the same way as the Wiki writer,
however.

OK, Chuck!

I will pray that you, Harry, and Larry share a room in the afterlife. That
should make you happy. You won't have to put up with us lowlifes that may
have some beliefs you would like to belittle.

What a bizarre remark.

Tom dropped some cite about the hidden meaning of IHS.

I noted that the Catholic encyclopedia disagreed with his reference.

How does that belittle your belief? Good grief man, I referred to the
Catholic Encyclopedia as a probable authority on the matter!

Catholic traditions offer one of the better insights into orthodox
Western spiritual beliefs of the middle ages- Catholicism was the only
major game in town, and pretty well ran the government. The Roman
church can be credited with preserving some carefully selected schools
of thought and knowledge during a time of rampant illiteracy and when
Europeans placed little value on a classical eduation.

I can't believe you read my post carefully or bothered to follow the
link.
It seems like you are (over) reacting to what you presume I am going
to
state rather than what I actually post. If you kneel to pray in the
next few days, try to do so on the knee that doesn't jerk as
badly. :-)

A Joyous Yuletide to you and all your house.

Herring and a few others seem to be overly sensitive about certain
religious matters.

There's much to admire about Joshua, aka Jesus, whether he was real or
not. On the other hand, I find very little to admire in fundamentalist
Christianity because of its insularity, its attempts to convert, and its
small-mindedness.

Why Herring takes that personally I do not know.

These folks are not representative of mainstream fundamentalism, but
responsible fundamentalists might want to keep a weather eye peeled to
be sure this kind of nonsense doesn't sneak through the church door
along with the majority of the congregation.

Chuck, these guys are pretty well off by themselves, fairly well does
anybody in any and every type of mainstream Christianity knows that
the 3-K are a bunch of loons, and with all due respect, I don't
personally know of anyone who would want to associate with them, or
their beliefs. Same way with Fred Phelps and his Westboro "Baptist"
church and their desperate publicity schemes of http://www.godhatesamerica.com/index.html

Sure, like every other religion there are some whacks out there that
no one really takes seriously, thats why they pull outragious stunts
just to get noticed. BTW, I absolutely support smacking Phelps and
his ilk with the $10 mil. law suit. I wish it had been higher. He's a
crank.
