When it comes to matters of faith, I’m far more worried about this trend (it’s in the U.S. now) than what Obama believes or how he worships.

“This is a growing problem. A number of criminals, particularly those in the drug trade, are getting involved with this idol, which actually traces its roots to an ancient Aztec diety. Most ominous of all, it’s finding its way into the United States.”

Our local sheriffs have found Saint Muerte & Virgin of Guadalupe paraphernalia in the pot camps of illegal aliens in your national parks and forests. A lot of candles...nice little fire starters.

Thus the allusion to both Baal and Moloch, gods of infant human sacrifice that were adopted by the Israelites. God sent them into captivity in Babylon as a result.

Worshippers hope "Holy Death" will bring them love, luck and peace.

It will. The love of death, luck of certain doom, and peace of the grave.

LOL!

Ask anybody...I’m utterly *obnoxious* with my multi-decade devotion and will *somehow* manage to work a “cowbell” reference or BOC lyrics into the most utterly innapropriate conversations any way I can....;-D

Ping!

If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.

Holy Death beats Spock and Lizard,

BS

[Salamander]

For these guys?
I think mere “captivity” will seem like a better option than what they currently face.

I guess Holy Taxes is when the IRS high priesthood makes an offering to the Obammesiah with your money?

[Tennessee_Bob]

It’s a start, but it needs more cowbell!

Is this country being invaded by Mexican illegal aliens or Aztec illegal aliens? I would say we are being invaded by Aztec and Mayan illegal aliens with a few Hispanics thrown in too
