29268. anomie - 10/21/2008 12:12:21 AM I'm puzzled why she thinks McCain is the better Christian. Sounds like she's voting purely on the VP slot. But yeah, the ignorance is appalling. 29269. Jenerator - 10/21/2008 1:11:07 AM A few things...
That video is hardly 'jaw-dropping'. It's one woman, who is pretty one-sided and extreme, sharing her opinion. She's allowed to vote for whomever she chooses for whatever reason, whether or not you agree with it. That she has serious problems with Obama because of his background and beliefs isn't revolutionary. A big 'so what' I say. I have heard and seen much worse, Wizard. Go and read the American Politics thread in this forum! Look at your own pictures making a monkey out of our President's face. Read Jexster calling Obama a 'nigger'. That is the kind of hatred and bigotry that I find appalling.
I suggested you post something mainstream. Yes, mainstream, Wizard. Do you even know what that means anymore? I ask that in all seriousness. If you do not know what an average Christian is like, then you are not around enough average Christians. I attend a large church and have attended many churches over the years and I haven't known any of the women like you posted above. Quit picking people that will fit your stereotype; instead, find someone who is not extreme!
Lastly, who are all of these "Christian right demagogues who believe they're the demigods of Christ and the Bible"? and who create millions upon millions of zombies? If you say the Pope is one of them, I agree.
You need to start practicing that 'tolerance' that you preach. 29270. jexster - 10/21/2008 1:17:34 AM Andrea Yates 29271. Jenerator - 10/21/2008 1:42:26 AM Is she mainstream to you? 29272. jexster - 10/21/2008 1:48:58 AM She's one of your co-religionists...
I don't think either of you are "mainstream"...Whatever did I say to give you that impression?
Hell, I don't think you're even Christian in any meaningful sense of the word
Now that you ask 29273. Jenerator - 10/21/2008 1:54:15 AM That's because I am a monotheist unlike you. 29274. Jenerator - 10/21/2008 1:58:00 AM I don't even know why I even *try* to talk with you. You're an hysterical ninny that is so entrenched with certain idolatrous parts of the Catholic Church that you cannot see straight.
You're a breathing paradox; a nonsensical, blathering hypocrite who thinks his 'socks' are blessed while he calls Obama a nigger. A freak of nature who thinks Andrea Yates is mainstream Christian!
You form enough complete sentences to fool the occasional poster into thinking you're sane, but I know better. 29275. wonkers2 - 10/21/2008 2:02:54 AM Jex can be exasperating. His heart's in the right place on most issues, however. 29276. wonkers2 - 10/21/2008 2:04:12 AM I think she is a mainstream McCain supporter. 29277. jexster - 10/21/2008 2:57:09 AM The little god of the Christianist Right in action
29278. jexster - 10/21/2008 2:58:17 AM You're an hysterical ninny that is so entrenched with certain idolatrous parts of the Catholic Church that you cannot see straight.
See what I mean. That's her "faith" in action
29279. jexster - 10/21/2008 3:01:49 AM There's nothing worth speaking about in Jen's "religion". She can only then define herself through her spiteful hatred of other's faith...the One True Faith..the Holy Catholic Church of our Lord Jesus Christ 29280. jexster - 10/21/2008 3:10:06 AM And if the Gates of Hell cannot prevail against it, what chance does a pitiful creature like Jenerator have?
Mt 16: 16-18 29281. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 10/21/2008 3:37:34 AM Jen- FWIW, my jaw dropped because of that woman's ugly spirit, which is in no way Christian--or even moral for that matter. That it didn't seem to phase you is even more revealing about your ideological blinkers and lack of awareness.
As for my photo cartoons and Jexster's over-the-top sense of facetious satire, you don't seem get the moral outrage behind it or what spurs us to rail against the countless criminal acts your heros have committed for the last eight years. Sadly, you seem to only comprehend the literal rather than the metaphorical or the satirical.
FTR, I feel the exact same way about the Catholic church as I do about the hypocrisy and phoniness of the Jerry Falwells and the Pat Robertsons who program their flocks to be intolerant of anyone who doesn't conform to their dogmatic doctrines.
I'm not sayin' all Christians and all Catholics are hypocrites or phonies. I'm saying that these institutions have promoted non-Christian behaviors to the dolts and fools who swallow, literally, Bronze-Age superstition and respond to fear-based exploitation so readily.
God is not to be found in the behaviors of many of these people and for you to not to see it is kind of pathetic and tragic--especially for someone who professes and defends her faith so often. Faith isn't clinging to a doctrine, faith is more about letting go of one's selfish and petty attitudes. 29282. jexster - 10/21/2008 3:46:30 AM This too exactly Jen's MO..her "faith"
He yielded the microphone to Representative Robin Hayes, who prefaced his comments by saying it was important to "make sure we don't say something stupid, make sure we don't say something we don't mean." Republicans, he reminded the crowd, were kind people. Plus, he added, the liberal media had shown itself eager to distort such remarks. With the crowd duly chastened and put on best behavior, he accused Obama of "inciting class warfare" and said that "liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God."
Their god is papier mache, they, phony baloney Christians29283. jexster - 10/21/2008 5:49:25 PM She's been at this for weeks now so it's instructive I think to remind folks exactly what set Jen off on her weeks long screed against the Catholic Church. It was precisely my reporting that Sarah Palin's Assembly of God church, a heretical branch of even this extremist evangelical church, had as one of its central tenets the belief that the Roman Church was the Beast, the whore of Babylon referred to in the Book of Revelations
This is exactly the teaching of Pastor Hagee, discredited McStain spiritual mentor, whose major television ministry hails out of San Antonio TX
Birds of a feather 29284. anomie - 10/21/2008 6:40:05 PM So Jen, I guess you're saying socks can not or should not be blessed? Now is that just Jex's socks, or all socks? Do you have a bible verse for that or is it just the Holy Spirit working through your life that tells you to ridicule false blessings? Is God actually prohibited from blessing Jex's socks, or have you put him on notice that it would be displeasing to you? I think you should maybe write this stuff down as new scripture so people can know. 29285. vonKreedon - 10/21/2008 7:26:28 PM The Catholic faith does endow its priests and saints with some fantastic magic powers. Starting of course with the ability to Transubstantiate wafer and wine into the very substance of the Christ, the ability to confer God's blessing on various animate and inanimate objects, and finally in the case of saints, for parts of their corpses to be blessings in and of themselves. Back when I was attending Parochial schools this magical element both intrigued and confused me. I loved the idea of being a magician, but why would God the Omnipotent and Omnipresent require this of us humans? Indeed, given His well documented wrath at people doing anything at all to dimish his position as the one and only God.
29286. vonKreedon - 10/21/2008 7:28:14 PM Wishing for an edit feature as I pushed Post too soon. The last sentence should read:
Indeed, given His well documented wrath at people doing anything at all to dimish his position as the one and only God, how is it that they get away with these bits of divine magic without being smote?
29287. Jenerator - 10/21/2008 8:19:16 PM Jexster,
I started posting about the Catholic Church because *I* wanted to. I am a big girl and I can do what I want! I am not chained to politics like you are, nor do I have an ulterior motive in everything like you have.
You are so incredibly blind and ridiculous.
