I don't know whether you've come across or read a book by Chris Hedges entitled . . . .American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America . . . but if those folks (The Dominionist) got those folks in the same room they'd call in the militia (that used to be called Blackwater) and machine gun most of them exempting good old George W and maybe Tony Blair. The rest of 'em would be gone, gone probably including Jesus in as much as they wouldn't approve of that kind of behaviour towards 'THE ENEMY". Course, the Dominionists are all good bible believing Christians and they'll stone you to death to prove it if you don't agree with them. I'd say, 'God Help the USA' except I don't believe in that kind of god so I'm a goner too, eh?LOL
Thanks for the post and the picture Mike

I suspect that, if we don't blink out like a light bulb when we kick, a lot of folks will be saying, "Oh Shit! this isn't what I expected". So we'll just have to wait and see, eh? In the meantime I
find it profitable, in a feeling good about myself kind of way, to just be grateful for what I have and try to treat everybody I come in contact with in a way that I would find beneficial. If that
not good enough for Zeus he can take a hike. LOL
Be good to yourself Mike and thanks for this post.

Here's the post by Vyckie on the way she used to think compared to how she thinks now concerning this topic. http://nolongerquivering.co... And the shame she's felt about her previous "Christian" attitudes. Well worth the read and you can follow the comments on the piece over on The Forum.

Your post, Mike, reminded me of a quote I read today which had me shaking my head in wonderment. Preacher Mike Driscoll out in Seattle has, apparently, a huge following and in an article about him it was said:

It's no coincidence that the shirt Driscoll used to illustrate his post contains the phrase "Meek. Mild. As If." That's because Driscoll believes that "Jesus is a God who hates." Jesus was no "limp-wristed hippie" who came to earth "wearing a robe like some fairy" says Driscoll. Here are some other choice quotes from the pastor:
"God hates you... God can't even look at us because he is so disgusted… You have been told that God is loving, gracious, merciful, kind, compassionate, wonderful, and good... That is a lie... God looks down and says 'I hate you, you are my enemy, and I will crush you.'"

Makes me shake my head in wonderment. I've been away from the church for a long time and I've known many a Christian who is thoroughly hateful but this is the first time that I heard that God/Jesus hates you and I. Doesn't give me much incentive to do other then shoot him the bird and go my own way, eh? What is it with people like this Driscoll guy, I wonder?

Anyway, enjoyed your post Mike but I don't think you could have a decent discussion with this guy. Probably just tell you that god hates you and so does he. LOL

Be good to yourself
