@Volunteer,
Freedom of speech and freedom of religion only apply to lefties. Where are all the crys, why isn't the ACLU defending them? Friging hypocrits. I can't imagine getting "natural family" and "marriage" defined as hate speech, IMO a demented mind would be the only way you could determine those words offensive?

I don't believe atheism or humanism or any ism is being forced on anyone. A lack of religious training in public schools is not taught atheism or humanism.
As an adult I will not abide by anybody elses standard of dress, conduct, schedule, grooming or marital relations, income distribution, gender roles, or anything else and as long as I conduct myself in a civilized manner that doesn't abridge someone else rights it is nobody elses business what I do.


If you support someone's effort to restore their rights, how can that be done if not in the public policy/law arena? That is where the rights are being curtailed. Are you saying everyone except Christians or Jews can behave in any way they like? That doesn't make sense.

Don't you go out in public in a standard of dress now? Are you a nudist? If not, you probably conform to the law concerning decent dress in public. You seem to be conflicted and have a real problem with accepting the idea you already conform to authority. Or, you are just arguing to argue. If you are a Christian then you must conform to the authority of God's Word. Otherwise, you aren't a Christian, you are just calling yourself one.

Once again, you are invited to visit the web page that explains the concept and provides the charter. If you are in Brazil, you haven't done this. The tracking systems show no hits from Brazil, or anywhere in South America. They do show hits from Canada, Europe and Asia.

OK, so you hit the page. Did you read the charter? Band width usage and file type data for your hit shows you did not.

@Volunteer,
I read the page, and you have represented your views, and as you have previously said it is based on the Bible. I will read once I have time though. I wish you good luck, but I ask you what are your intentions in setting up this party? What do you think will be the results? Do you think it will be embraced? Do you have already any support for this attempt? If those answers are in the charter just wait and I'll see for myself.

Thank you for your good wishes. The answers about intentions are in the Charter.

A Bible Party? That sounds scary. The Bible according to whom? The way I interpret it, for example, is considerably 'off' the beaten path. Yet I read it faithfully, and feel justified in interpreting it the way I do. I don't feel that anyone else's interpretation is any more valid than my own.

Why should a Bible Party sound scary? The Bible according to faithful translation. What version of the Bible do you read? Is that the issue?

Good for you. You should interpret it for yourself. How many people (US citizens) actually do that? One reason you may be leary of a Bible Party is the way people who have never read the Bible spout off about what it says.

In 2 Samuel 23:3-4 God's Word says, "The God of Israel Spoke; the Rock of Israel said to me, "The one who rules the people with justice, who rules in the fear of God, is like the morning light when the sun rises on a cloudless morning, the glisten of rain on sprouting grass.""

@Volunteer,
I do not call mysellf anything you are quite correct. Nor do I claim to represent anyone. My beliefs are just that my beliefs ...my mother was a Baptist and my Dad was a kind of agnostic, a kind of conservative rebel without a cause. Also Pinochet ...this may sound funny but you have an absoute right to read and interpret the bible or any other religion or philosophy as you choose and that is the point...any party based soley on one person or one groups versions of anything other than the constitution endangers that. The existence of such a party is not a threat and it is any Americans right to create such a party...but if it ever comes to power that coud be probably

Thanks Drnaline, but God deserves it. The citizens of the US deserve it.

Listening to the news each day just convicts a person into action.

I had a friend die this weekend who was a confirmed Druid. Think about where he is now and what he is experiencing. Faith without action is dead.

"One reason you may be leary of a Bible Party is the way people who have never read the Bible spout off about what it says."

No offense, but I've met many fundies who ate, drank, breathed the Bible, and they were dangerously ignorant in their literal interpretation of it. Their lack of education, combined with their fanaticism, actually scared the hell out of me.

Good point. The recurring testing required of all members of the Bible Party should alleviate issues associated with ignorance/lack of education.
