Religious Right Holds "Prayercast" To Stop Health Care Bill

Prayer against helping the less fortunate. Joke's gonna be one these boneheads when they burn in hell instead of walking beside Jesus in the kingdom of heaven

Oh God, please let govermint run health care fail. If it helped make people well, they wouldn't call on you. But it won't, Lord, and that's worse. They'll be putting people into death panels left and right and all our teeth will be falling out because there's only Govermint doctors to work on us. They'll be performing abortions on women who just come in cause of limbago or rheumatiz. Real Christians don't need health care anyway cause we have you, Lord.
Amen.

That's all okay, because in 2012, the RR will run Sarah Palin against the Dem (whether it be Obama or someone else) and then the American people will show the rest of the world why it's a FORMER superpower, and elect "stupid and FAIL" over intelligence. And then the RR really will be in charge, and the world really WILL have Armageddon.

If I wasn't sure whether I'd still be alive in 2012, I might get my granddaddy's old shotgun (if it could ever be found!), and start sawing off the barrel with a nail file right now.

I'm just glad they haven't decided to haul out the holy hand grenade of Antioch.

Proof Positive that:

The Republican God is Ayn Rand
The Republican Jesus is John Galt
The Republican Holy Ghost is The Invisible Hand
The Republican Bible is Atlas Shrugged
The Republican St. Peter is Milton Friedman
The Republican St. Paul is Arthur Laffer

They went his way.

i'm guessing they didn't read this one aloud to the flock:

31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

This event points out a key thing. You waste your time trying to change people's behavior because their behavior is a result of their beliefs. It's not IF you believe in God that matters as much as what you believe ABOUT God. Generally, we project upon God - all of our own fears we hold about life. If God can get angry, then it's OK for me to get angry. If God demands obedience, then it's OK for me to demand obedience. If God acts childish, then it's OK for me to act childish. If God is judgmental then its OK for me to be judgmental. If God is misogynistic, then it's OK for me to be misogynistic - ot to tolerate it if I am female. And if God has a "chosen people", then it's OK for me to consider myself chosen and to classify others as not chosen.

But what we have learned and demonstrated from quantum physics is that WE ARE ALL ONE. It is the acceptance of this principle that will bring about the behavior in people that progressives are attempting to accomplish with legislation.

God does not care or need for you to believe in Him/Her. But if we are to survive as a species on this planet - then we will have to accept the fact that WE ARE ALL ONE. And that means an expansion of your understanding of your Self to include all others - and all things.

There is only one of us. Once you understand this - you would never think of harming another again - because in doing so - it would be clear to you that you are only harming yourself.

"does" D'oh!

Never mind Perkins' violation of one of the Top 10, the one about bearing false witness.
Whattya bet the prayers ended with a call to send money to the FRC so they can continue their "mission".

And they say that the muslems are full of hate, what a hypocritical society. Just goes to prove that all religion is fake and manipulative.

And...we have the "Christians" that are calling on their followers to keep their weapons handy for the next revolution. In God's name, of course. 'Cause God loves a good revolution.

Because I'm only human, I sometimes let my irritation get the best of me. I had a mild tantrum last nite over this very subject and said something to the effect of "stupid Christians", forgetting that my husband is a Christian and was sitting next to me. There's too much hypocrisy in the Bible (imo), but I'm really no better. I can preach religious equality, but I can also be intolerant. Just like them.

There's a small part of me that pities these people. Christianity "can" teach compassion and tolerance (as the amazing post from Nova Voter above shows). Unfortunately, so many of Christ's followers don't understand, or outright ignore, his teachings.
