Okay, I am so pissed about a specific persons entry that i had to give myself 24 hours. Ok, kristine is bitching about the counter rally, and she's entitled to her opinion, but apparently she's too (one of these: scared, prejudiced, close-minded, something) to do the one thing that makes America the great nation it is: let The People sound off about what pisses them off. Apparently she feels that she, and the religious rght, alone have that right. I personally do not support abortion, I think that, as a human being, killing ones own flesh and blood is reprehensible, especially if the only reason is that you wanna go on with your own life without the inconviences of a child. And Kristine should be able to say what she wants about that, its her right, to be able to say what ever the hell she pleases. But people should have a chance to respond.
Here is my response
"Sometimes, I'm frightened at how deep we are into the End of Days. I feel that we will live to see the Rapture. (Which frankly, I don't have a problem with.)"
First, people have thought that for the past 1980 years, since the book of Revelation was first shared with the church. Also, if you look at the signs, most have been proven to be scientifically possible; proving that the 7 seals are more than likely literal. As for the horses, especially the white horse, ridden by Death, they have been repeatedly viewed as current events. The number of the beast, 666, is, in latin, the name Nero Ceaser (I have a latin vulgate bible I can scan to prove it). I know a lot about the end times, and we've only met about third of the signs.
"People just don't realize how close we are. Christians are starting to be prosecuted for their beliefs. Atheists get angry that they have to say "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance because we're "forcing our beliefs on them". Well, we get angry that they don't want to say "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance because that's forcing their beliefs onto us! Christians are no longer allowed to have nativity scenes or any reference to God on public property. Certain schools weren't allowed to play ANY Christmas songs in their Christmas concerts because the songs had "religious overtones". You people just don't get it. By wanting religious equality for all, you're crushing our religious freedom."
I had to pull on boots to wade through all the bull shit in that paragraph. First and foremost the Pledge of Allegiance ruling was found against the atheist. Secondly, removal of the word "Under God" was scoffed at by liberals and conservatives alike. Kristine seems to like to complain about the removal of Christian objects from public plaecs and events. Hate to say it, but that's a part of seperation of church and state; its happened to other religions, too. Her idea of equality must be severly skewed.
"This picture makes me angry because it's the stereotypical liberal.
And I disabled comments on this post because I don't want to hear any liberal dribble. (99.9% of you are liberal or lean toward the left.) Especially from people telling me "you shouldn't judge someone from a stereotype". Please. Stereotypes exist because they usually are true. I laugh it off when people make fun or rant about asians."
I won't belittle myself by arguing through this. 'Nuff said.
"Don't worry, secularists will win the next election. I'm sure of it. The majority of the people I know under 19 now lean toward the left. I know that all of them will be able to vote in 08, and I know they'll probably win. If Hilary Clinton runs, she will stay directly in the center trying to retrieve as many votes as she can. Once she's won the election, she'll swing drastically back to the left. She's a liar and deceiver. I will not vote for her."
Ok, Hilary may do that, and act that way, but the majority of those who voted for Bush, according to exit polls, did so because they felt he would protect the nation better.
"Do you people honestly think you have the best plan for equality? Because you're discriminating against groups of people along the way."
Uhh, since when is equal treatment for all religions discrimination? I see no signs saying "Allah is God and Mohaammed is his Prophet" or "There is no god" on public buildings. When was the the last itme anyone heard an Islamic radio station in the US? If any religions are being discriiminated against in America, it would be Islam, not Christianity.
"If I would have been at that rally at BSU, I would've been in the prayer circle. At least they're using kind words to spread their message rather than "Fuck Oppression"."
Apparently thats why there are protests at gay pride functions in New York and Chicago with Christians screaming "You're gonna burnin Hell" Hmm...
Yes, isn't misinforamtion wonderful?
