George W. Bush Fundamentalist Christian TV show

I'm surprised he's getting away with being so religious, and being president. In my opinion that's a good thing, but still, in a country with freedom of religion, I'm surprised anyone can get away with being religious.

I don't think it's a good thing when your religion is so ludicrous. Fundamentalist Christianity? Taking every word in the bible literally? Sheesh! Let's get the word out on this guy!!!

He could invite Benny Hinn as a guest, and between them both, they could heal America.

Would never sell, too boring.

Why?.

Why?.

And just who the hell are you to judge a group of peoples religion?

I'm not a Fundy myself, but if their view on their religion works for them, what business is it of yours what they believe.

It is close minded attitudes like yours that drives most of us open minded Conservatives nutz.

When you Liberals say things like that out of one side of your faces and then scream about how you are the only 'free thinking people' in the world it just makes us shake our heads in wonder.

I'm me, their religion is stupid, and that's that. It's a judgment call, and I'm making it. It's moronic and bogus. If a guy said he believed that aliens are controlling our every thought and action, I wouldn't want that moron in the white house either.

I love that first line, kickycan. I disagree with what you say, but I agree with the way you say it.

No one would watch it. How boring. Let's be real now. After all that violence and sexual gratuity? And the many, many successful advertisements from the entire corporate world linked to all that violence and sexual gratuity? The time for the program you suggest was indeed in 1955. I suppose you could spice it up and show their prejudice at work...you know, recoiling in horror at the homeless guy sleeping on the sidewalk, spitting at two gay guys holding hands while walking down the street...the total denial of comfort and assistance to loved ones gone to Satan who now must be banned from all love and respect....the mobbing of abortion clinics, voting precincts, other protest groups that don't agree with them, etc...

Hey, whaddya know, maybe people WOULD watch it...if it was a reality Christian Right series, and not some scripted morality lesson they are so fond of embedding in all that violence and gratuitous sexuality as it is. Too bad the little lesson accompanying each episode of sex and violence is totally lost on the audience, and has been all along. If the Christian Right was so concerned about all this, they wouldn't have been using sex and violence to lure in the viewer to hear the morality lesson, and we wouldn't be in this jam in the first place.

But it's way too late now. Church is separated from state for a reason, you know. Using one to get at the other doesn't work either. I mean, come on, look what they did to Christ for preaching love and respect. And still the world forgot all about the morality lesson, but they remember the flesh being torn from his body.

Whaddya gonna do? Right or left, entropy is an unescapable law of nature.

ALL religions should not be allowed to use religion as an excuse for prejudiced judgment against others. They too are only human, and full of the same foibles as everyone else. As for the Christian Right, they certainly are not Christians, because Christians forgive and accept sinners. It's the only way to get them to stop sinning. The Christian Righteous is an entirely different net of fish, and Evangelists is the more proper word for them. Business is really their religion, and all that the hierarchy of business entails. What they seek for all of us just isn't possible in the real world. They have no right insisting on it, because their interpretation of the Scriptures is as off-base and as misunderstood as everyone else's interpretations of the Scriptures. Silly humans forgot where and when they came from, and how we got here where we are today. It's all interpretation now, and the evidence was lost a long, long time ago. As such, no one understands what God was about in the Scriptures. The original understanding has been lost for centuries, and to claim they know the intent of God is the height of arrogance and ignorance straight out of the Middle Ages. We aren't even supposed to be able to know what God is up to or what He wants. We are supposed to obey God's laws as best we can, not literally. The world of the Old Testament and its many laws from God has little if any meaning to the modern world. That's why Jesus came back to complete the laws of Moses - to clue us into the shifting nature of laws and compassion and the need to follow that shift, not remain static and unyielding under rule of law. Now if you say the Christian Right has the angle on laws we need in this country, I hope you are at least adult enough to admit that they don't have the slightest idea.

Umbagog, you want violence? How about we follow the family as they bomb an abortion clinic? Or maybe murder a doctor? I think it would be very interesting for people to see the fundamentalists in action.

Of couse the point I'm making is that this is a dangerous set of beliefs. They actually believe in the whole end of the world revelation thing as the literal word of God! That is what the the leader of the "free" world, the guy who is in charge of the most powerful military machine ever, actually holds to be true. If people actually saw that, and started calling him out on it, I wonder how he'd get out of that one.

It is possible that, like you said, it's too late, but hey why not try to fight ignorance while we still can.

Maybe I should send this idea to Fox.

SCoates:


I think he'd rather focus on religion than cocaine...

Loons

Why the rolling eyes, pistoff?
