Today, on the Senate floor Sen. Dick Durbin mocked complaints on the ever-growing health care bill. “1000 pages, so what?” he said. Durbin also compared Democrats’ massive health care legislation to the Lord’s work: “Maybe God got it right with the Ten Commandments and their brevity.”

This dude needs to burn ...

The Dems have no clue WHO God is! Durbin is just a member of the Chicago thugs in Obama’s court and I can assure you that he is getting his pockets lined for his support in these massive bills.

I guess Turban Durban forgot that commandment about not coveting your neighbors possessions (income).

I didn’t see that as mocking God, but even if you did, are you a member of the freaking Taliban? He needs to Burn?? Lighten up Francis.

So... Durbin said something you personally don’t like, when he said that maybe God got it right when he made the ten commandments brief.

Therefore, you propose that it’s appropriate for him to be tortured with the worse torture imaginable, the fires of hell. Far worse than beating the crap out of him. Far worse than slicing off parts of his body and shoving a red-hot poker up inside him.

And not just for a few minutes. Not just for a few hours. But for years. No, not years. Hundreds of years. Thousands of years. Millions of years.

Wow. I dig it, dude! I can feel the love and compassion from here. This makes the Christian faith really attractive to me. I think I’ll go and convert to this religion that lets you totally f*** over anyone who says something you don’t agree with, for all eternity.

What prayer do I pray to sign up for this loving Christian religion of yours?

How do you know if he is a christian or not? A lot of folks hold the banner but are not really of the faith. If you isolate one off base statement from seeking the real God then what does that say of your honesty?

First Durbin says “so what” about the 1,000 pages in the health care bill, then he says maybe God got it right in the brevity of the 10 commandments. He’s not mocking God, but he sure does seem to be embracing two diametrically opposed ideas, by supporting longwindedness and brevity at the same time.

The amount of hubris there is assuming that YOU get a say in who gets damned; furthermore, it is stupid for anyone who is a Christian to wish damnation on someone, or do they simply forget the parable of the pardoned servant, who when a great and unpayable debt was waived by his master went to a fellow servant who owed him a little, and when that servant begged him for mercy and more time to pay back that little bit, took him by the neck and threatened to throw him in jail... when the master heard of this through the other servants he said to the servant whom he had forgiven and said “How could you do this, you wicked and evil servant!? You will be thrown into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

The moral of the parable is, I believe, quite self-evident.

Too bad none of those staunch Republicans had ball enough to ask him if he had read those thousand pages.

Yes, I would say you’re right.

It says nothing of my honesty. It says that I’m not the slightest bit impressed with people who claim to represent a loving God who show their delight at the prospect of another person being tortured 10,000 times worse than anything Saddam Hussein ever did.

All the more so when the supposed “crime” is that you disagree with something they said.

I simply can’t imagine a worse “advertisement” for Christianity. If that’s what Christianity is, then s***w it.
