in the youth choir, the church also supported our boy scout troop, I was an usher in church all of that. NEVER did I ever hear this religious BULLSHIT of today by Tea Baggers and the like.

My father was a major local politician, I think he felt all of us going to church was good political press.

That all said, I retained the good things about religion from way back then, and we had what seemed a highly educated liberal minister.

What the Tea Baggers practice is completely antithetical to my religious experience in my youth. The Tea Baggers have all of the characteristics we were taught not to be like. In my church, the Tea Baggers would have been seen as disciples from hell, the embodiment of Satan, as very evil people.

In essence, the Tea Baggers are all members of "The Church of Hatred and Deception."
