No offence was meant by any means (especially being born Half Jewish) but then again... it doesn't apply to Jews as it is him talking to "Christians" using his name.....everyone else would be left alone....
reminds me of an Old Comedy album called " You Don't Have to be Jewish " from the 1960's....there is a skit where a Jewish man goes to heaven and get's to speak to God, and he asks, " are we the chosen people?" God tells him yes, they are the chosen ones... to which he replies " well then would you mind chosing someone else for once???" ...great album.. I believe Lou Jacobi was the man in that skit.

Just so you know, that's a really offensive thing to say to Jews.Originally posted by Steadmund Brand View PostLeave a comment:

I also love how these "patriots" feel Jesus trumps the Constitution... ANYONE who believes that, or acts in a way that they do ( AkA Rubio or Huckabee... who I can't believe really believe it, but will pretend they do to cater to the far FAR right zealots and crazies... no not all conservatives are crazy... but when you go so extreme... well let's face it.. you are crazy!!), anyway, anyone who acts this way should be forbidden for running for public office, as they just proved that the constitution and the law mean nothing to them.....it's almost like these folks are so excited to read and talk about their 2nd amendment (almost to the point of perversion in some cases... it is really creepy) that they skip right over the 1st amendment....
I'm not a Christian so I don't claim to speak for Christians... but if I were.. I would really hope by now my "savior" would have come back just to smack around these loonies and say " who the hell are you to speak for me....I NEVER said the things you claim I said, I don't believe in hatred and intolerance...but you hate and you discriminate in MY NAME...time for my Dad to go all Old Testament on your asses!!!!!"

Actually, it's more like when the Pope is and isn't infallible. The Pope isn't infallible when he talks about whether or not Tom Cruise was completely miscast.Originally posted by c.d. View Post
This is typical of current conservative thinking-- all opinions are equally valid, whether one has studied a topic for decades, or one is dirt-ignorant on practically everything, and can't even spell GED. It's a weird perversion of all people being equal. The Supreme Court opinions are special because these are supposed to be among the most learned legal experts in the country, and balanced between conservative and liberal leanings, as well as examined by other learned people who represent the populace, for agendas and hidden biases. You can throw a dart at the back of the constitution, and a Supreme Court justice can tell you what is on the other side.
Most people in the US can't tell you what the first ten amendments are, let alone what is in the body of the constitution. Heck, most people somehow think the first amendment means that private organizations have to give a forum to anyone who demands it.Leave a comment:

Spent some time today reading comments from religious conservatives and found out something I never knew. Apparently when the Supreme Court issues an opinion it is simply that, just an opinion. Something along the lines of Tom Cruise was completely miscast in his last movie and as such it carries no weight of law and can be completely ignored if one chooses. Who knew? I bet Al Gore will be pissed when he finds this out.

I think St Paul held up abstinence as the ideal, but countenanced marriage as a second best.Leave a comment:

Is it a rule in Christianity that you have to be a virgin? widows and widowers can remarry.
Actually, though, if I'm remembering my letters of Paul, isn't the Christian ideal not to marry at all? Maybe she shouldn't be giving anyone licenses.Leave a comment:

Honoring her religion, does she have an issue granting marriage licenses to applicants who aren't virgins?Leave a comment:

Even more so if the Islamic clerk insisted he (it could not be a she, as really religious - old time religious Muslims - have to be men to hold any job), could not, in good conscience, marry anyone who was not Muslim. Imagine if the lady in the Kentucky jail was present when she heard that!!
Well I guess I won't be converting any time soon. I need a religion where only the women work. Now that is a religion I could get behind.
