People follow religious fanatics - why?

[Fear]

Sorry if people find this post misplaced or out of line, but here's what I don't get.

The US is getting into countries as like Iraq / Afghanistan for the 'good cause' *cough cough*, trying to root out Islamic fanatics from the governments and making it a 'democratic' country not ruled by religion but as a 'democracy'.

BUT HERE"S * using religion as a primary tool in this election for his whole campaign with a VERY fanatic few on it and HALF OF THE PEOPLE VOTE FOR AN EXTREMIST TO RUN THE COUNTRY! and loosing a seperation between Politics and Religion.

It's been opposite day every day for the last FOUR YEARS.

I will never give up / never surrender. and I do not stand for a future of religious wars.

Religion is the major health care provider these days eh?

1. Bibles and guns, bibles and guns.

The future is all about bibles and guns.

5. "Convert or DIE"

NO middle ground...our way or the highway.

2. Once you believe in Jesus...you're done...You will believe ANYTHING!!!

A religion has hijacked our government...

6. True. You will have conditioned yourself to believe anything

without any objective evidence. Nature won't tolerate that abbe rent behavior. Unfortunately, they are taking us down with them.

3. This is something

that was spoken about very little but as the proverbial wall between church and state crumbles, it is very dangerous. We're moving toward a self fulfilling clash of civilizations. The near term future bodes ill.

4. Religion is a psychiatric disorder.

7. No wonder people call us

liberal idiots and commies.

What gross and erroneous statement statements.

Christianity had NAUGHT to do with this. Bush is NOT a Christian. He is a bonafide hypocrite, liar, warmonger and drunk.

8. No he's not...But he USES Christianity to control the masses...

Evangelicals are taking over local churches everywhere...

[hexola]

9. Faith Based Intiatives = Bribes to the Church

The Churches saw a lot of money coming their way...

10. Religion is the major health care provider these days eh?

Religion is the major health care provider these days eh?

So sad but true...these folks believe in faith healing. So they wont care squat for health care...they dont believe they need it...they are protected by Jesus...

Suffering from a malady that could be cured by stem-cell research?...too bad...stand in the corner and DIE!
