Re: Robert Giacobbe

Your comment: “Your animosity to, and hatred for, religion has blinded you to this simple fact: some degree of pandering to religion, even in a positive way, is required the win the hearts and minds of this so-called christian nation.  Clinton, Obama and Edwards have made meager steps in this direction, a first for the Dems.

When the left figures out how to co-opt religion in this country as effectively as the right has done, then you’ll finally be on equal footing.”

>These are RADICAL groups.  A fact you conveniently disregard in your post.  Ironically, you attempt to make the issue one of MY HATRED and simply ignore the HATE speech on this sign concerning another religion.  These are the things that start “holy wars”.  This, my god is better than your god, trash talk.

NO, I don’t believe ANY party should pander for the religious vote.  Separation of church and state, remember....  If we continue down this road, we will end up a theocratic plutocracy, much like Iran.  Radicals in ANY religion are dangerous people.  What was the Spanish Inquisition about but RADICAL CHRISTIANS. 

We are NOT voting as a religion, we are voting as a country.  And so called “Christians” ought to be reminded of that fact.  Ask yourself; why is this church involved in politics (isn’t their salvation coming from somewhere else), why would being a Muslim (even if it were true) be something to vote against and why does this church not follow their own scripture of Caesar’s things to Caesar and God’s things to God. (or however that goes)

I am NOT the hateful one.  This church and it’s adherents who voted for this sign are.  I have voted for Christian candidates and I would vote for a Muslim candidate.  I would vote for an atheist.  RELIGION SHOULD NOT BE A DECIDING FACTOR FOR CHOOSING A CANDIDATE TO RUN THIS COUNTRY.

Doesn’t the bible say “moderation in all things” or something to that effect?  Groups such as this are HATE GROUPS and they do not follow that which they claim to follow.  They attempt to convince themselves and everyone one else, that if they slap the label Christian upon themselves, they can proceed in whatever way they please.  After all, they have “God’s Blessing” and their viciousness (many times crimes) should be “forgiven”....

Bullshit on that noise.  Have we learned NOTHING!  Look at the NUTTY, RADICAL, CHRISTIAN we have in charge NOW!  These are nutty people masquerading as “Christians”.

So is this pastor a christian?  I don’t know, he certainly doesn’t act like one!

“It’s simply to cause people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not believe in Jesus Christ,” he said.

You know what I think would happen? Progress.

Another bizarre religious group, the fact that this DOESN’T surprise me, scares me. When is America going to wake up and see how dangerous these people are.  Sounds like this congregation is well into preparing for their oxymoron “holy war”.

I think we should take one of those atolls in the South Pacific we used during WWII and throw ALL the radical elements of EVERY religion on it, and let them battle it out WITHOUT weapons.  Maybe if they physically beat the livin’ daylights out of each other they’ll figure out they’re not all that different.  Seriously...hasn’t the world tried just about everything else with these people?

State governments should be allowed to tax all churches, mosques and temples. 

Why should religious bigotry and viewpoints contrary to mine be allowed to continue tax free when I have to pay those taxes?
