I'd argue it's been responsible for most of the bad things in the world.

A lot of the real nutcases are actually anti-government altogether.

And...remember who he was aligned with? The D's loved this guy. Of course...I'm not sure exactly what religion he was about (other than wanting people to worship him).

Lot's of them. Many Democrats often stereotype like they tell everyone else not to.

This is a tragedy that should have never happened.
Exactly! In fact, this case proves that God wants us to seek medical help rather than prayer!

I saw a black person on TV once.

Man, it was so cool.

Check this out:

Last weekend we sat between an Italian couple and a Mexican couple at church.

Can you believe this?

Right behind me was a BLACK couple.

And ya know what?

WE KNOW THEM!

They are some of our best friends!

They live right next door!

Oh My God!

I believe that religion caused the father of the girl that died to lose his ability to think and to do irrational and barely coherent treatments for his daughter in the form of prayer rather than seeking medical help!

you have yet to respond to my question. i know you liberals do not like answering the tough questions.

since you are not too smart i will explain.

the post i responded to said most religious nutcases are republicans. i pointed out that there are several black religious nutcases that are democrat.

i know that is hard for you to digest. now, continue with your white guilt.
