Just saw snip on news that made me sick: sign next to a "Welcome

[grannylib]

Bush" sign in Pennsylvania, I think; some church sign that said "Vote with Christ" and the 't' in "Christ" was a combo of a voter's checkmark in a little box, and a cross. Some other propaganda was along the bottom of the sign. It was just the worst...

1. what precinct is christ voting in?

is he going to carpool? :shrug:

[HFishbine]

5. Is Christ a US citizen?

Someone better look into that.

2. Relax grannylib

I'm willing to bet that that church sign helped our side (free thinkers) more than it hurt us.

Sometimes things like that blowup in the smallest of ways.

3. Hope you're right. I am so sick and tired of my faith being co-opted by

the Wrong-Wingers, and other faiths (or those of no faith in particular, or at all) being demonized by same.
What happened to our Constitution and our country???

6. It's still here

Maybe needs to be dusted off a bit, and re-read, but it's still around. I live in "God's Country" in Maine. The access road to the nearest interstate access ramp is 6 miles long and has mostly churches and truck stops along it. We call it the "Highway to Heaven" up here. Now these folks are good Bible readin' Christans and all, but you stop and talk about Bush and Ashcroft and the Constitution to'em and they're just shakin' their heads. Not too many Bush stickers either. Gore won here in 2000, but not by much, this year though they'll be a lot more Kerry votes and a lot more people that won't admit to it when the results are published.

4. Yeah, same here... insanely scary times...

I was visiting relatives in Indiana, and went to church with them. Nice preacher. Preached about how America was awash in drugs and sex, but violence was not PC... Then went into a bunch of old testament bible quotes about the lord using violence to punish the wicked. Then went into how our escapades in Iran were God's work. Probably not a whole lot of Kerry voters in that congregation.

7. Christ would be dragged out of a Bush rally for demonstrating

8. If that is true, the church should lose its tax exempt status.

Call the IRS.

10. That was exactly my thought; I didn't get the name of it though it was so

brief.
There are MANY churches playing fast and loose with that; passing out 'voter guides' that are anything but non-partisan. It's sick the way the wrong-wing has taken Christianity and totally bastardized it.
It makes me weep.

9. My conservative friend is voting for Kerry ...

for precisely that reason. He is an incredibly bright & educated atheist and the church/state issue pushed him right over the edge.

Oh - and we are from PA.

11. Jesus would never vote for Bush.

I don't understand how the minds of these winger Christians work.
