1. He seems like someone I would enjoy having a drink with sometime.

He certainly nailed modern day American evangelicals.

[marym625]

3. I agree. I'm sure he would be all kinds of fun.

Love this letter!

2. Only if you join the Knucklehead denomination

There are lots of other denominations that don't base their articles of faith on bigotry and the seasonal cup designs of large chain coffee purveyors. Believe it or not, despite what some of your agnostic or atheist friends might tell you.

4. I'm well aware.

I come from a very religious family. While they all worship the same, their ideas on government, religion in government, etc, are as different as each person.

But it's still a bunch of religious "Christians" that are calling for the stoppage of refugees from Syria. Sorry, it is what is happening.

7. they've emptied "Christian" of any theological or sacramental meaning: it's just a label

for slap-fights with relatives and strangers on the street

sorta like "Democrat"...

8. Bawhaha!

Good one. Sadly, so very true. But funny!

11. *sad trombone* (BUT that's exactly how things have been planned and paid to work out--to

ensure that it's just horse races and jealous group-identity politics over things that 70-90% of the country agree on)

12. as much as I hate to admit it,

They planned, and executed the plan, extremely well. Nothing like power and money to corrupt the weak.

13. if you check there was a YUUGE turning point after the Powell Memo: the think tanks popped up,

then a well-paid backlash synchronized EVERYTHING by 1976--Team B for the intel analysts, the Chicago Boys, fundies (there was a wholesale coup), Israel's "unconditionals," the NRA, media, even pharmacists and astronomers ("there's nothing wrong with chemicals in the water, strontium in the air, Star Wars, and women in the kitchen, and no more listening to jungle savages about their so-called herbs&quot

9. You didn't know?

It's okay, you don't have to be scared. They're fine.

6. At last! Someone who gets the war on sleds!

Thanks, marym625!

[marym625]
