LYING IS NOT HONORABLE, and not Christian
Edited on Wed Sep-10-08 05:18 AM by timeforarevolution
That's my message today, along with responding to any comments/questions about Palin with, "She's scary."

Just sharing early this morning. :)


Also, I believe we need our own talking points, but they must remain TRUTHFUL and have INTEGRITY, unlike the filth spewed by the mindless sponges on the right.

My two cents.

:)

3. Their brand of Christianity -- like all extremist religions...
is simply a vehicle of hate, IMO.

Have a good day, grannie4peace. :)

2. I think their rationalization is something like:
Lying to fool the devil while in the furtherance of God's plans is perfectly permissible.

5. Thank you! The emperor's wearing no clothes!!! Lying don't cut it
for a Christian. No Christian can run a Karl Rove political campaign. Why has no one ever called these frauds on this before?

Why?

6. The neoKKKooks think they have dumbed down Gawd too.
They think that God is a damned fool just like the rest of the damned fools that vote GOP.

Their "Thinking" is what got us into Iraq and their "Thinking" is what has ruined the economy. The neocons are "Thinking" America to death. The "Think Tanks" "Think" that they have outthought any stinkin' Gods.

7. Oooooh, oooooh, ooooh (shades of Arnold Horshack there) ...
:)

There's a new one-liner in the making here:


Republican Leaders Think Voters and God Are Stupid!

(I wish I had time for graphics...*sighs*...maybe later)

9. Technically lies aren't ruled out in the commandment but
lying against someone is...
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

But obviously the republicans have done a crazy amount of that too with all of their lies and distortions about Obama.

Maybe they'd debate the neighbor part. Obama doesn't try to get off on technicalities here.

Funny that the commandment doesn't just say "Though shall not lie"
But then Jesus said of Satan
has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

But it seems to me this kind of Christian doesn't give a crap about Jesus. They like his dad in the Old Testament better who smites people and talks about abominations.
