Bornagains getting more paranoid, delusional & dangerous every day

[mopaul]

ever since st. ronnie gave them the go ahead to infest our government like cockroaches, the religious loony right has been fighting for dominance and making progress in turning america into a theocracy.

i've been warning everybody i could for 26 years now, give them an inch and they'll take a million miles. it's never enough for them, they want it all.

and now they are like a pack of panicky wildebeasts, getting ready to stampede right over the rest of us.

the republicans used them to gain power, now that they've sold their souls to these maniacs, they'll regret it. so will we all.

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. The country's gone mad. People are nuts. What must the rest of the

world think of this ridiculous circus of posturing presidents and the falsely pious? I shudder...really.

[moggie]

37. We think you're mad

Not you personally, of course, and not the whole country, but over here in the reality-based world, many people suspect that a large proportion of your population are mentally ill, and wonder how this happened and how they became so powerful.

[sam sarrha]

2. same thing happened to the Saudi's, their Wabbieism bit them in the ass

and is now going for the throat, they will topple the Royal Family and cut off ALL oil to the USA.

dwe need to quit pissn off these people..!!

[ck4829]

5. How many years did this take?

I want to know if I will still be alive when something like what happened to Saudi Arabia happens here.

[etherealtruth]

3. Your last lines are prescient...

"the republicans used them to gain power, now that they've sold their souls to these maniacs, they'll regret it. so will we all."

[purji]

4. I truly think

A lot of Fundies cant obey their own religious rules ,so they feel the
need to push these rules on all of society,so they are forced into
following their own religious convictions.

(I just woke up and have had no coffee I hope this makes sense)

[mopaul]

6. if I have to obey all these rules & be unhappy, so should everyone

makes sense i guess

[northzax]

27. no, I think it's more like...

my children can't follow all these rules in the face of such temptation, ergo, your children shouldn't enjoy that temptation because it will encourage my children to do so.

[purji]

38. exactly n/t

[Dhalgren]

7. I am truly frightened at the prospects for this country's future.

To paraphrase Bill Moyers, this is as bad as it has ever been. In the past, even during the worst of our political squabbles, everyone knew that at all levels of our society there were educated adults in charge. We might not agree with their politics or their stand on different issues, but we knew that they were sane, rational people who would not allow delusions to override what was best for the nation. This isn't the case any longer. The people in control are delusional ideologues, who have completely lost sight of the nation's good. I don't feel very optimistic this morning...

8. Reagan and Senior

I simply cannot imagine Reagan or Bush Sr.(no prizes either) getting on Air Force One, in the middle of the night, to come back to DC to sign a bill, an UNCONSTITUTIONAL bill, to "save" one woman's life. Mind boggling.

[lonestarnot]

9. Mindandassboggling! Constipatingly unconstitutional! FREAKS! We

are absolutely doomed in America!

[northzax]

28. actually, there was one time, in particular

that I think we can agree that sane rational adults were not in charge, round about 1850-59. And something happened just then, can't remember, I'll have to check my american history books.

[goodboy]

10. ~~mopaul~~ this is jeeeeeeeeesus....goooooo to chuuuuuuurch...nt

[mopaul]

11. i was already born again in the early 60's, it didn't take i guess

no shit, i was annointed born again when i was a teen. i was quite impressed at the time, but the devil had sway with me, in the form of women, drugs, and hard drink, and debauchery.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. My next door neighbor's 15 year old son just rebirthed himself, if that's

what you call it. Funny thing, he was busted for having a knife on him a couple of weeks ago at school. And that's the least of his problems.

[noonwitch]

19. When I worked in delinquency, lots of my kids got born again in lock-up

They'd let preachers come in to visit with the kids at the county youth home (not at the state facilities), and they were inevitably fundies. They'd give the kids Bibles and preach to them. Some would take it seriously, being locked up and lonely.

Most of them gave it up as soon as they were released.

[mopaul]

20. my lawyer asked me to carry a bible into church when i got busted

telling me it would help my case to be seen carrying the good book.
i refused.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. It's Not Rebirthing One's Self...

It's just a metaphor to explain the process when one invites Christ into their life...


I am serious...


Can you please tell me something that Christ did in his thirty three years on earth that isn't worthy of emulation

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. You're yelling at the wrong person.

:hi:

Do a search. It's about the hypocrisy of many of those who call themselves born again. And yes, in my opinion, those people are birthing themselves, for themselves...not for God.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. A Search On What

Being born again...




It's John 3


One of the Pharisees , Nicodemus, asked Jesus how can a man be born again.... Nicodemus was referring to the literal sense of the term;that a person could reenter their mother's womb... Christ's answered it was a spiritual rebirth...

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. On this and MrsGrumpy's posts.

"Can you please tell me something that Christ did in his thirty three years on earth that isn't worthy of emulation"

It is a sad day when we all jump down each other's throats first thing.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

41. I Apologize...

I am a Christian.... A nominal one....


But the beating Christians take on this board can make one defensive...

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. I understand, as a Christian with serious questions about the "political"

aspects of Christianity. :hi:

[goodboy]

13. ooooooooooohhhh....me too. Although it's not the devil in my case.

it's me...I like those kinds of things, and I don't think they're evil...they're just choices.

[Dhalgren]

14. Hey Mo, if you got born again, again -

would that be "born square"? :hi:

[mopaul]

16. thrice born

foursquare if you count my foray into hinduism in the late 60's.

happy atheist now.

[Dhalgren]

21. Ahhh. Foursquare and then the ascension...cool...

[Ironpost]

31. Twice for me

first was at home on easter Sunday 1948, the doctor who delivered me arrived on a horse, 12 plus inches of snow they tell me.
second was at the tender age of 10 in spring creek and the water was so warm. Later I realized it was due to the fact the air temperature was in the upper 30s. Now am happy agnostic thank you.

[givemebackmycountry]

15. THIS is like the dumb ass neighbor with the REALLY mean dog.

The dog won't bite the owner, but it will froth at the mouth at everyone it doesn't know and trust.

The owner don't care.

This vicious beast makes him feel superior.
He knows that if you fu*k with him, he can unleash the animal, and it will immediately go for the unprotected throat of anyone who threatens it's benefactor.

But the owner should know what's coming.
One day the wild eyed beast is going to turn on him and rip it's larynx out, and feast on the flesh and blood of it's once proud provider.

They called us the "wild eyed" coalition during the last election.
What these assholes don't understand, is before they come for US, they are first going to tear to shreds those that betrayed them.

I'm ready for them.

They are armed with their bibles.
I got a 12 gage shotgun.

They love the lord so much, great.
I'll help arrange the meeting.

17. This past weekend some people moved into a house just across the street.

The first thing they did was put up a FRIGGIN' yard sign that has a picture of Jesus and it says..."Remember What Easter is All About." :grr::nuke: I absolutely HATE having these people SHOVE THEIR DAMN RELIGION DOWN MY THROAT. I HATE it! They live DIRECTLY across the street from the house that had a sign in their yard during the election campaign....."PLEASE VOTE PRO-LIFE" I honestly cannot take this shit. It drives me up a wall!

[mopaul]

18. don't make eye contact, show no emotion, they won't harm you...

if you make them think you're one of them. and don't go to sleep.

[ClintonTyree]

22. Start putting up some..................

creative signs of your own. "Study the Koran"............stuff like that. Maybe they'll get the message.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. I CAN'T. I live in a condo complex and it's against the rules.

:cry: THAT is why it drives me so NUTS! There's nothing I can do to counter it...just my bumper stickers and I would have to back my car up in their driveway for THEM to see them.

[frictionlessO]

23. What is your friggin' problem, Mopaul!?

With wildebeast that is? The puritanical bushybans of the terroristic right wing fringe most closely resemble a small plot of land that has been overrun and overpopulated by large geese. As these geese shit out their goopy brown/green twigs, they (the turds not the geese) start to take on the form of the lunatic fundie pervs getting fried on Christ....

or something like that.

[catmandu57]

25. I hate jailhouse conversions

Some of the nastiest people I've ever met in my life have been jailhouse born agains, they walk away from whatever crime they may have committed by claiming it was their old unwashed self who did it.
These people are fuckwads and cretins, some of whom go on to be elected to congress and other parts of our government.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. I Am A Born Again Christian

I don't think I am paranoid, delusional, and dangerous...


Nor do I think my born again brethren like Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton among others are paranoid, delusional, and dangerous...

[underpants]

33. Lettuce Pray

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Can I have a HALLELUJAH!!!!!

[JamboGuide]

35. Unfortunatly,

the ONLY person in the media that ive heard DIRECTLY call them FLAT OUT the American Taliban, is Jim Philips from the Philips Phile on Real Radio 104.1. Airs in Orlando.

[Binka]

39. Is That Signed Jenny Craig? I Just Pissed My Pants.

[underpants]

40. Yeah it is-I wish I could find a readable copy
