It's because the Republicans don't share the same interpretation of Christ's teachings that the True Christians (tm) hold, and these True Christians (tm) know that their interpretation is more valid that that of the Republicans because of some Other Way of Knowing (tm) or Knowing in Their Hearts (tm), or something.

Although your expanded explanation does makes sense because True™ christians aren't hypocrites either.

I've changed my vote.

applies only to Republican christians. It seems to apply to them all, regardless of political affiliation.

#2 is the hypocrites' favourite.

chose scotch.

Hell with that Biblepalooza!

I was so insecure I couldn't think straight.

I'm behind on persecuting christians; tell HQ that I'm doing my best.

I mean, just because you see Science as a Religion doesn't mean we all do. I mean, babies...how do they work?

Can't we all agree that right wing memes have a place on DU?

Sure, you could ask "why" but "why" is a question for religion. Duh. Go wank to Dawkins, whydon'tcha

When you can look at teh pretty picturz....

Or as Carol would say "Look at the flowers, Lizzie...".

but there were too many other good choices. So that means you did good.

I included that one because I was trying to be considerate of others' fee fees.

Can those others vote in polls here?

strangling. on. my. coffee.

Heddi, your existence almost makes me believe there is a dog.

Ah have FAITH in the jury system!

Ah BELIEVE!

Some folks just can't seem to accept that truth.

You have gone too far this time!

Calling somebody a slut is sexist. However, tarts are useful. Nothing wrong with being a tart.
I think a tart is a selectively flirtatious woman.

Sharon Osborne said she was "an old tart"!

just so you didn't get all arrogant and such, but went with Scotch.

And except for when I post on DU I'm more of a gin/vodka slut, uh, gal.

It is only the bad, bad atheists throughout history that are willing to persecute and nail others to a cross. That is why laws such as RFRA are needed to educate people. now where is that sarkist button?

The really crazy stuff they believe isn't even in there.

But they sure do Share the God memes. (I can't thank them for that enough.)

Our local baptidome is led by a whackjob who can quote scripture to support every single hateful thing he believes.

And then there's the Catholic Church's homophobia...

I called First Baptist Church of Houston Megabaptist One.

Second Baptist Church was Megabaptist Two. They spent something like $35 million some years ago building a new sanctuary on Woodway and Voss. Wonder how many poor people in Houston they could have fed with that money.

Don't get me started on "Pimpleface" Joel Osteen. I have never seen him say he contributes one dime to charity or has established any charities. They took a perfectly good basketball arena (The Summit) where I have many fond memories of rock concerts (Frank Zappa, The Who, Bruce, U2, The Police), and turned it into their megachurch with a sweetheart deal renting it from the City of Houston for peanuts.

I am more qualified to be a Protestant minister than he is. He dropped out of Oral Roberts U. in Tulsa after one semester. I took 2 religion courses at a Presbyterian college. Six hours of religion was required as part of your liberal arts education. It was very mind-expanding and the professor was an amazing linguist. The courses were not about doctrine or theology. They were about sociology and history. Thank you, Dr. Frank Garcia.

ugh.

Everything about that man screams fake fake fake.

Makes you want to smack the snot out of him.

I'd rather not slap him, because then I would have to touch his ugly face.
I'd use something a bit longer range like a flame thrower.

His wife, Victoria, is a real piece of work too. She allegedly went ballistic at a flight attendant on a plane once and they hushed it up.

Good thing I like it!

she said, "is that an internet thing?"

She was more surprised to find out that narwhals were real.

Do you remember Calvin and Hobbes? You know how Calvin's father used to explain things to him?

I live for those moments.

It's a straw, sissy.

They need it to breathe through the ice, see.

I loved that strip!!
<--- see my avatar

There was another one I remember about bridges, wish I could find it.

I miss Calvin.

That's the one! I also loved the gruesome snowmen he built, especially the house of horror, lol!

I adored that strip, a pity it ended too soon. I wonder what Calvin is like as a grown up.

Thanks for the laughs!
