John Kerry: Don't Live Your Life by 2,000-Year-Old Texts
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | May 5, 2014 | William Bigelow

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Secretary of State John Kerry, stopping in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to visit with U.S. Embassy staff, implied that religious tenets created more than 1000 years ago were inappropriate for modern society.

Kerry said:

"This is a time here in Africa where there are a number of different cross-currents of modernity that are coming together to make things even more challenging. Some people believe that people ought to be able to only do what they say they ought to do, or to believe what they say they ought to believe, or live by their interpretation of something that was written down a thousand plus, two thousand years ago. That’s not the way I think most people want to live"(continued)

Pope? Are you listening? He’s telling you that you need to find a new book from which to preach. The Bible is simply too old.

His eternity is based on these 2000 year old texts. He might take heed.

Much better to follow religious tenets created by Karl Marx in 1867.

And, along with Nancy Pelosi and many others of this type, claim to be practicing Catholics and continue to receive communion.

Well, the constitution is 200-ish years old, and written by men...so, this is just stretching things a bit further. I’m actually a bit taken aback that this is even surprising or newsworthy.

He’s right. Most people want to drift about doing what feels best for themselves, and if any such notion as GOD enters into things, they will run like hell in the other direction.

“They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.” -Genesis 3:8

The Scriptures need not even be spoken before those dead in the flesh flee and hide.

I'm not sorry to tell this ass that I'm not into letting anyone tell me how to live or not live my life.

He can take a long walk off of a short pier with cement shoes for all I care.

Bingo. His argument is just a logical conclusion to a longer time frame. Buffoons are running amok in this regime.

Is it my imagination or is Kerry bouncing off the walls of his internal mental cage faster and with more and more entropy literally day by day?

Sorry, John, but you are wrong.

BTW, you were wrong in Vietnam too.

Whenever were you right? LOL!

What kind of diplomat goes to a country and tells his staff (and the people there) that they should ignore the foundational religious basis for their culture?

Up until the last few sentences I thought he was describing the Left in general, and this administration in particular.

"That’s not the way I think most people want to live"

Which people, exactly, Mr. Secretary of State?

Christians?

Catholics?

Muslims?

Buddhists?

Hindus?

Or... liberals?

Since you are directly, pointedly threatening the beliefs of 9/10ths of the world's population, maybe you can clarify this just a bit.

Mr. Secretary?

Hello?

Mr. Secretary?

The kind that tells his countrymen that their soldiers torture, rape and kill in a style reminiscent of Ghengis Khan.

Yes, today’s modern Dimocraps believe in the tenets of Marx and Lenin. They strive to create the USSA.

The day I look to a two-bit traitorous political hack for moral advice is a long way off, Johnnyboy. Pound sand.
