Huckabee in SC on MSNBC talking about Kool Aid and

cookies at a vacation Bible school, when he was a kid, and the goodies were why he went there and then he had a religious awakening.

Makes me think about Pavlov's dog.

They need to put the Corpus back on the Cross to remind them that there is no quid pro quo and only blasphemers say there is.

1. i just saw that.

made me wonder what was in that Kook Aid.:eyes:

3. There was an article in Newsweek about this a few years ago.

These Sunday schools and religious daycares universally use behavioristic programming, constantly built on primary reinforcers.

People end up with no idea WHY "right" is Right and why "wrong" is Wrong, hence, mass murder on the other side of the globe in the name of something called "the Greater Good".

Have you ever asked anyone what, EXACTLY, inspiration is? Concretely, organically, objectively factual - what is the phenomenon referred to as Inspiration? In all of its individual variants, what is it that makes all of those variations Inspiration? (If, as people have said to me, it's different from person to person, why do we call all of those different experiences inspiration? Are they all absolutely different? Or is there some commonality that makes all of them fit the definition of inspiration? If so, what IS that commonality? People are REALLY clueless when you try to talk to them about this.)

2. He is a strange, strange man

Amazing how many people, including some liberals, find him "likeable." Hey, folks, is he the person you want to have a Kook Aid with? Such fun!

[patrice]

4. I wonder how that one "problem" son of his is getting along now.

Better, I hope, really. It's so sad to see another messed-up life. Does say something about Dad though, doesn't it?

5. Is he where the word Huckster came from?

[patrice]

6. That is an odd co-incidence, isn't it? At this particular point in our history

to have this kind of figure rise AND his name is so close to something meaning a fraud.

Odd indeed!

7. IMO Huckabee has more loony ideas than even Bush, scary that people like him.

It's like in the book "Mice and Men" where the half wit kept asking to hear about the "Land of milk and honey" again.

[patrice]

8. Funny you should mention that book. The fundies are trying to get it banned

in our school district here.

I guess, it's not PC to depict Amerika being unkind to anyone. Probably they are also uncomfortable with the "socialistic" inference that society has moral responsibilities for it's individual members.

[heidler1]

9. I didn't know about the banning, but the story is kinda raw of this gal who decides she's

turned on by the half wit and then screams so he kills her trying to shut her up. He also liked to catch mice as pets and he killed them too, kinda accidentally.

10. To bad it was'nt Jim Jones kool Aid...nt
