Democrat Disbelief

Thank you for the prayer. But I'll just pray to G-d, being Jewish, and you pray to G-d and Jesus, and hopefully we will be blessed with the wisdom to grow into creatures worthy of having been made in the image of G-d.

If you keep the Covenant, you will be saved.

In my Testament, Jesus explains that at the Last Judgment the twelve apostles will judge the twelve tribes according to whether they kept the Law.

(And I believe that when you see Christ coming again in His glory you will recognize that He is your Messiah and believe in Him then.)

So, be a good Jew, and you will make this a better world now and I'll see you in the next.

The difference is that those who believe in Christ now will not taste death but will go directly from this world to the next. Those that don't believe in Christ will sleep in death until the Resurrection of the Dead and the Last Judgment.

So it may be a while before we meet, assuming my faith is strong enough for the Holy Spirit to take me up to the Light at my death, and not have to wait in death for the Resurrection.

And with all the inroads that Satan is making in these End Times into the beliefs of all of us, assuming is not a good idea.

"Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation, for the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Rush had all kinds of fun with this one today. Poor old Howard Dean - it must have looked so easy to him, scamming those red-state yokels by telling them that Jesus preached high taxes, abject surrender to Islam and partial-birth abortion as the way to salvation. Who'da thunk we'd see right through the schtick? After all, we put Chimpy Bushitler in office (with a little help from Diebold and the Jooooos)!

For all of you lurking leftists out there, far be it from you enlightened ones to take any advice from some wafer-eating hick trash like myself, but here goes anyway. Do yourselves a favor and drop the phony religious act. Stop trying to convince us that Jesus even knew what an SUV was, that He and Peter spent His last days on earth bickering over whether they would buy the fuscia or the mauve drapes for their love den, and that His Death and His Ressurection were nothing more than some twisted sexual bondage fantasy cooked up by Mel Gibson to sell movie tickets.

If you do all this, we still won't vote for you, but at least we won't laugh at you as much. Oh yeah, and learn one basic fact of life - you generally don't make friend and influence people by calling them ignorant, bigoted and evil.

But knowing how well you take advice, I know that what I just typed is a waste. Besides, you're too busy trying to get the latest religious-sounding script from George Lakoff (rhymes with ...) to bother lurking FR right now, aren't you?

There is a lot of disparagement of President Bush by some very vocal conservatives, who don't appreciate how much he has advanced the appreciation of conservative values in America. They seem to think it is simply due to the power of their ideas and values, and don't appreciate the role Bush has played in putting a face on those ideas and values for a new generation of Americans. And the role he and Rove have played in getting good people elected to Congress to vote for those ideas and values (or not vote for them as with letting the assault rifle ban expire)

Better said than I've ever managed. Conservatives that have disparaged Bush for not being more of a conservative activist in the mold of Reagan, I hope, will one day understand his silent actions have played a critical role in re-defining the landscape to be open to conservative values, changes and politics.

these attitudes were most powerfully captured in symbolic issues such as display of the Ten Commandments in public buildings, removing God from the Pledge of Allegiance, or outlawing public manger displays at Christmastime

I continue to be mystified by the assertion often made here that liberals are less moral than conservatives. My personal observation is that some liberals are moral and some are not, same for conservatives, Christians, atheists, etc.

For me the hallmark of morality is what a person does and believes -- symbolic gestures such as courthouse display of the Ten Commandments, saying "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, and manger displays on government property do not make one person more moral than another. Does anyone here seriously believe that viewing the Ten Commandments or a manger scene while paying taxes or strolling through the park, or forcing a fourth grader to say "under God" in the pledge is going to miraculously make anyone more moral than otherwise?

The skeptic in me suspects that such issues are often raised for political advantage, rather than moral reasons - and in these cases, I think the sin of dishonesty has been committed and the morality quotient is reduced, rather than enhanced.

Eh, works for me. Besides, if I die, I won't know that I'm dead (or was dead) until I'm resurrected for the world to come anyways. ;) And in the meantime, I shall, as it says in the bible, if I am truly particularly worthy, I shall be gathered to my people at the side of G-d.

thinking that democrats were for the "little guy"

As long as we stayed "little guys" so they could walk
on our heads like paving stones.....

snicker....

Even your screen name has got it right...
Because that is what the left is trying to build.

[patriciaruth]

Good luck to both of us!

Hope to see you in the afterlife.
