Dear Red States ... A Classic. (New York, Union: crime rates, homes, buying)

[NY2NY]

It amazes me how un-Christian some supposed Christians are, with all their Old Testament fire and brimstone rhetoric, their hysterical hypocrisy (is ALL life sacred or not?), their cherry-picking of the scriptures and their fierce hatred of anyone who challenges their beliefs. Lordy, that sounds almost like fundamentalism to me.

Science doesn't have the answers, but at least it acknowledges this, as it allows constant checking, verification and challenging to get to the most plausible explanation rather than leaving every difficult question to God's Will, and doesn't allow revision, other than when yet another splinter group emerges with their ultimate, unquestionable version of the truth.

Best of all, having God there is a helluva way to dodge responsibility for your actions, huh?

Just me tuppence worth. I'm no atheist, FWIW. There's a saying that goes something like: "Doubt may be uncomfortable, but absolute certainty is absurd".

Its funny how idiots can believe that we are just a bag of chemicals that just magically evolved from some primordial soup and that the universe just came from nowhere and nothing. There is such a thing as micro evolution but macro evolution is more science fiction than science. It takes more faith to believe in atheism than to have the more rational and plausible belief that there is a Creator God. You cant actually believe that this is just some big cosmic accident. That's comical. Only a fool or a devil or one who lives like one does not believe or want to believe or worship God. There is no ultimate purpose or meaning of your existence and no truth but what you want it to be. Here's something the Bible says about the fools who make up the progressive secular heathen godless immoral blue states. "The wisdom(worldly wisdom) of this world is but foolishness to God. Blue states, what is the purpose of life? Run after pleasure and accumulate things and die! Meaningless meaningless meaningless! You are chasing after the wind and one day you will stand before your Maker to be judged if you want to believe it or not. The good news is that this God that so many in "blue states" hate and scoff at sent His Son to die for all our sins, both red and blue. God became a man and died on a cross and gave up his life to redeem us because He loves us. That's the God I believe in. The problem with too many is that they want to be their own god. The funny thing is none of us would even exist in the first place if it wasnt for the Creator. I hope this country remembers what made America great, or should I say "who" made America great and repent of our sins and turn back to God so that He will heal this land. If not then this country is surely doomed and will face the coming judgement of our God which may have already begun. We are living in dangerous times and we are heading down the road to destruction if we dont have a spiritual reawakening.

That was a truly frightening read..

Whom will you mock if you don't have the red states? I imagine most New Yorkers haven't even ventured into America. -Arkansas Hillbilly

P.S. I live one mile from Missouri in the Ozarks of Arkansas. Missouri stays with the Red States. You get Iowa.

Beacuse the blue states are moving in.

All Long Islanders should traverse RT 66 to truly appreciate what they have back home.

Not better just different.

Red and Blue starts to make sense around the Ozarks.

Clever! Wrong thread.

[I_Love_LI_but]

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight...

If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're exotic alien and different.

But if you grow up eating mooseburgers and shooting elk, you're a quintessential American story.

If your parents named you Barack, you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

If you name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a loveable maverick.

If you graduate from Harvard Law School , you are elitist.

Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising a family, you're not a real Christian.

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are irresponsibly eroding the fiber of society.

If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.

If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA , your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now.
