Why don't they just ban all religion and then we can let the corporations show us the best way to live....

I'm sorry but experience has told me that anyone who identifies themselves as an evangelical is either a crazy or creepy christian.
maybe that's not fair but I'm from the South and that's what I know.

This is all well and good. But, at the end of the day the guy on center stage in most chruchs around America still believes that it's heaven or hell for everyone...just like the sandwichbaord guy(s), and just like the "turn or burn" hearse guy. They all share that at their core, and that's what makes the caricatures funny and true.

take a gander and eat some Southern-fried crow, monkeyshine

It's the same up here monkey. People live their lives like Earth is just rapture land and everything has little consequence in relation to their supernatural beliefs which we all know are about culling the herd of those who are 'unnacceptable'.(Which would depend on your flavor of Christianity)

(Dec 21 06, 08:37)I really don't want to open this can of worms but replace a few words above with 'blacks' and look at what you are.
This is the same stuff and honestly, not to start a fight, but it's ignorant.
See gruntts post for a much more accurate view of things.

23kon: Actually Christ could be compared to a non-conformist punk rocker.
Read your New Testament.

--------Christ maybe couldve been described as a non-conformist, but people subscribing to christianity is definitely conformist.

------if religion was banned or had never even been started then most of the wars our world has seen wouldnt have happened. most wars are primarily about religion.

-------nice point.
i watched an obscene christian tv show a few months ago on a sunday morning on bbc1.
it was showing a UK Christian priest (or whatever) going over to China to spread christianity in china. FFS!!!!! One of the most CORRUPT organisations in the world going to spread its word around a country that has the MOST PEACEFUL religions in the world.
GRRRRR!!!!!!
The whole program was preaching christianity and how good it was etc .... and i thought to myself .... they'd NEVER let a program that preached Muslim beliefs etc on primetime morning TV. it just wouldnt happen.

you got shit for brains.
what do you think the justification for slavery was?
the christian fucking bible.
add the divne right of kings and we got nearly two thousand years christian oppression.

Kona, comparing the discrimination of people who worship a certain idea to racial/cultural discrimnation isn't the same thing. Ironically, most religions they're guilty of that very thing.

**in other news, Jay Bakker started a show that's on Sundance

1. Do not worship any other gods.
No balck dude ever told me i got get niggerish to be saved from an eternity of suffering.

Jay Bakker just represents the next version of Christian Ecumenism for profit. C'mon people celebrated the Osbourne's for thier popularity and profitability. Given enough time some religion has co-opted the idea in order to build a body of fad "worshippers".
Case closed.

Point being, they can't get their own shit together let alone tell people how to live their lives. Religion would actually help most African-Americans. Numbers are sad, 10% of all male blacks are in jail.

My parents have a prison ministry. They're all too apologetic once behind bars.

False prophets and hypocrisy is the end game of anyone who uses spirtuality for power, money and fame...Dress up in tattoos, dress up holier than thou, greed is the true root of that evil no matter what your race and spirituality.
