I was just listening to Coast To Coast AM and they were discussing the Supreme Court case on video games and R rated movies. Some goof called in and while he was not in favor of kids seeing those movies or playing those games, he was terrified that if a Tea Party or a republican were elected President we'd have strict censorship based on christian values. Of course he said he was an athiest. So yeah, they have their anti christian agenda and project their own intolerances onto those they identify as being intolerant. He was fear mongering and paranoid, what a sad way to live.
You can be an atheist. But do you have to be so antagonistic to christians? You don't like it when they( or anybody else) try to force their beliefs on you so why do you turn around and do exactly the same thing? When most athiests start actually living up to the principles they say they have, maybe they'll gain more acceptance. That goes for anybody trying to change society.

All men fall short.
Does not lower the value of the goal or espousing it as a goal or aspiration.

I agree with that statement for the most part. Sure, there are Liberal Christians, but at the end of the day the basic tenets of Liberalism do not square with God's word.

If it's legal, then it's moral. That pretty much sums up the views of American Liberals.

Maybe God thinks you are imaginary?

What do we normally do when we find people who kill in the name of an imaginary person?

What do we do when we find an adult who talks to imaginary people?

"If a Tea Party or a republican were elcted President, we'd have strict censorship based on christian values." That is called a theocracy and it IS scary!

Thumbs down Liberals Hate God according to some Republicans

Just another indication of how far gone the GOP is now.
Since embracing the kooky "religious right" a couple of decades ago, it's been all downhill.

Try being a churchgoer. Try being told that in order to be a good Christian, you basically have to vote Republican. I hate when religion and politics get mixed up.
