It doesn't have to mention the word, when it is descibed in other words.

It is quite possible, the Atheistic Liberal brainwashing programs (found via the television, movies, education system) has worked extremely well, their propaganda has really taken hold on people (particularly the easily lead impressionable youth). All the while, of course Islam is allowed full access and supported wholeheartedly within these same (White Western Christian based) societies.

The Communist Manifesto can also (sadly) be found on Amazon.com. And..."idiocy known as Christianity"?!?!? As opposed to...the idiocy known as Atheism (of which is no more proven than the existence of God) or the idiocy known as Liberalism (which firmly rails against reality). In fact, it is ironic how Atheistic Liberal claim that they are in-touch with reality and science, yet...in truth, are squarely against anything resembling reality and science. Funny how that works.

And? You can buy the Bible on Amazon too.


Are you advocating book bans?

Here's the link, for anyone interested.

There is no evidence that Sasquatch is standing behind me eating a Yoplait. Is it idiocy to NOT believe that Sasquatch is behind me eating a Yoplait?

Are we supposed to believe everything in which there is no evidence? That's a lot of things.

If Americans allow the Obamabot bigots to have their way it could very well become a reality.

Bully for you. But before you pat yourself on the back, let's ask some questions:

Do you believe in taxing the Girl Scouts, the Chicago Symphony, the Sierra Club, The Elks Club, Drum Corps International, the United Way, the Cheapeake Bay Handicapped Boaters Society, your local homeless shelter and the other 1,500,000 non-profit organizations in the United States?

If not, then you are indeed for the arbitrary use of power of government to punish those organizations that you happen to disagree with, which is totalitarian in nature.

Further, people who argue for the taxation of churches don't really understand money or taxation. Because a corporation is only taxed on its profit, not its revenue. Given that 99.9% of churches are run on a shoestring, that means there just wouldn't be a lot to tax in the first place. So unless you are going to rewrite the tax code to make any dime brought in as fair game, then you wouldn't see any money at all.

It seems like PCC (Persecuted Christian Complex) is alive and well in the USA. Some people are so desperate to be victims.

Oh, pshaw!

It's people like you who think the Constitution is just a piece of paper. If you believed the Constitution was the bedrock of our government and legal system, you wouldn't fear "Obamabot bigots". Instead, you let your fear lead you to shredding the very document that protects your freedoms.

Yeah. Like those that scream about being offended when they see Christmas decorations in a public place.

OH, THE HUMANITY!!!!
