I didn't even like religious fanatics (particularly the conservative Christian variety)

[BigDemVoter]

as a small child. . . . The other kids who came from fundamentalist families yacked about their Sunday school and argued about the temperature in hell. . . I was always mystified by all their reasons for one being consigned to hell.

Of course these small children turned into judgmental teenagers who whined that we needed to have "non-denominational" prayers at school. OF COURSE "non-denominational" ALWAYS means fundie prayers; I learned that lesson very early.

And lastly, these same folks cannot even fathom that there are other people who aren't Christian. . . As a non-practicing, secular Jew, I actually had TWO teachers who tried to tell me that Jews were "Christian." Yeah. . . They did.

I found this interesting--These idiots cannot understand the concept of separation of state. . . God, I fucking hate them.

You must have gone to school in Texas? I think they let people that finish the 8th grade teach school?

Our education system in America has failed us. No one fails school anymore. If you attend you pretty much are assured graduation. It is not serving us well.

2. I had Christians ask "didn't Jews disappear like 2000 years ago?"

3. Some fundies don't want to believe that Jesus was a Jew.

He was an observant Jew.

4. If you read the article, greedy billionaires are the ones to blame

Yes, idiot evangelicals dutifully did their part, but what made it possible was funding from billionaires and the evil "Southern strategy".

You can blame soldiers for fighting an unjust war, but the real blame lies with those who started the war - in this case those who didn't want to pay taxes on their wealth or have regulations of their industries.
