The Religious Right is NOT a RELIGION

[stepnw1f]

but a political extremist group using a twisted version Christianity to force their economic, socio-political corporate agenda down everybody's throat. It is also being used as a defense from any criticism by playing on people's conscience or guilt.

I think they are disgusting vile creatures more aligned with the devil himself. It is a disgusting abuse of something sacred. We have to snuff them out and expose their under-belly to the rest of America. I do believe they have done a pretty good job at exposing themselves, but it is not enough. They must be confronted.

1. I'm armed and ready

I've got 12 years of religous training and can send a fundie running from the room screaming within minutes. Let's go.

2. They exploit Christ

[bluerum]

4. Pimping Jesus to the world.

3. And it seems like everytime I turn on C-Span

-which isn't that often - some damned fundamentalist is spouting some krap at some rightwing forum or other.
At least they were today.

5. I agree: it's a political movement.

And a totalitarian one at that. Being told how & what to think, who its OK to hate and who you must worship is not only un-American its ANTI-American.

[stepnw1f]

6. Exactly

They never seemed to understand "Live and Let Live" or "Freedom of Religion itself. They are sick underhanded folks. In fact they are a CULT!

7. You only have to look at the Taliban

to see where such things can lead.

I am always all over anyone here calling the RW the Chritian Taliban because I think it is overstated, but I do agree that the Taliban is the ultimate, and once these things start snowballing (like with Oliver Cromwell) it gets UGLY.

8. Kind of like the Taliban with its criminal side being Al Quaida.

Ain't it great?

9. I see them as a extremist cult

I mean, many of the leaders within the group have egos bigger than the size of Texas, they have a kind of charismia, which allures a type people to follow them and they use their influence to force their own agendas on not only the followers, but also on politics.

10. But sometimes they get theirs ...

see Ralph Reed. :)

[Poppyseedman]

11. "We have to snuff them out" !!!

Are you advocating violence?

[stepnw1f]

16. Why Assume the Worst?

Are you threatened or feel threatened... well... welcome to the Liberal World. We are being threatened everyday by these sickos.

I don't believe in violence, but if one got in my face, I'd knock his teeth out of his goddamn head.

12. I've been saying this for YEARS!

The Talibornagain - meaning assholes like Phelps, Dobson, Falwell, Coulter, Glenn Beck, and Robertson - are all going to hell. They just cant seem to realize that fact yet.

[comradebillyboy]

13. they are the living embodyment of

american christianity

[stepnw1f]

17. No They Are Not

You give them too much thought. They are blind idiot dweebs wallowing in selfish anguish, willing to demonize anyone they see as a personal threat to their fanaticism and bullshit.

[edbermac]

14. The religious right is neither...

Not religious about anything or right about anything...

[madrchsod]

15. they think politicians really care about what they say

politicians care only for the votes and the money that comes there way by agreeing with the pharisee. what they fail to understand is that bush`s religion is the power of the state not the power of religion. the germans made the same mistake.
