Lew, I surely believe I am on that path… by faith in the God described in the gospels and subsequent letters / writings…. the God revealed by the Christ.  Having died with Him in baptism, I was sealed with the Holy Spirit…. and now I can ‘see.’

Ha, ha, ha. This is so funny. The writer of this dribble is crying about one religious entity not getting as big a share of the booty coerced out of the pockets of productive citizens as a rival religious entity. And that isn’t even the situation…

The author of this adult male bovine ordure is either ignorant as the day is long or knows that the lefty base is so ignorant that he dares to compare apples to oranges knowing they’ll swallow. Pell grants are loans—that don’t have to be paid back (I wonder what clown dreamed that scam up to buy votes? Claiborne Pell-DEMOCRAT)—to poor students, not welfare to a church. Students (poor ones) choose the school; the school does not choose the students. Would little Billy Berkowitz be crying if students chose Mao’s Little Red College or Lenin U. or Islamic R Us University?

Contrarily, the welfare payments made to NPR are financing coerced from the pockets of productive citizens by government to keep the affiliated radio stations on the air, preaching socialist propaganda to the choir of losers.

Just another Lefty bemoaning the fact that one of their programs designed to buy votes is being used to produce Evangelical right-wingers.

I luv it!

There is a vast difference between someone who claims to live the Life, and one who actually lives it. 

If I had $10 for every time I’ve heard that comment I could retire from digging in trash bins looking for food.

With an estimated 25-37 thousand different Christian sects, denominations, and cults we’re to believe that YOU know the one true way, right? Don’t feel bad because the same perplexities exist in Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and all other religions … especially in the most sinister religion ever … Communism/Socialism.

Folks, as a believer and disciple of Christ ( as prescribed and obeyed in the scriptures ), most mainstream ‘Christians’ are NOT Christians / disciples of Christ.

There is a vast difference between someone who claims to live the Life, and one who actually lives it. 

Folks on teevee and such are only there because they preach a watered-down rendition of what Christ was all about ( the hegemony would NEVER allow someone to preach the full gospel on mainstream media, it is too dangerous… for them )... and these false prophets surely aren’t either reading it or believing it, because if one believes what they read, they may actually change… and this scares people and also draws a clear line in the sand.

Someone said it was Grants for tuition.  Grants for a Church School? That preaches a doctrine of War and Empire?

I have heard Falwell when he was alive cheering for starting a war to eradicate Islam.  By the Way, does our Government believe in Freedom of Religion?

$445 Million would have helped a lot of needy people. 

What a shame for America. 

Just think Falwell was the consummate Republican.  Didn’t his school contribute to American Family Radio?  That Republican Corporation once presented a program on my local outlet of AFR that discussed whether Democrats could go to heaven.  Can you believe my surprise when the panel of Right Wing Preachers came to the conclusion that God would not accept Democrats into Heaven?  Well on second thought….......nor Republicans might have been the truth.

Yes, man has used religion as a means of exploitation for centuries unfortunately. 

Because of this worship of man-made gods ( money, materials possessions and other idolatry ) this statement makes sense:

As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

You can’t create something merely by believing in it. Faith, by definition, is the unrealistic belief in something that cannot be proven. I keep hoping mankind will figure this out, but ignorance is rampant. Religion has certainly done its part in perpetuating global ignorance, mostly by keeping entire populations of believers uneducated, hungry, barefoot and pregnant. Proof of this is the improbable erection of a Catholic church—-to serve (and service) the poor worshippers living in the Mexico City dump. Pass that plate around again, folks.

Now, I must say, just because one man ( or an entire country of men ) say they believe in a just and loving God and in the same breadth kill another fellow human being in the name of whoever, doesn’t negate the possibility, some can argue the reality, of a God.

There is a saying in investing which is befitting in faithful circles ( or faithless circles ):

You have to believe it in order to see it.

If you haven’t met a person who truly has faith AND is decent, has a firm moral compass and sees clearly the hypocrisy among other so-called faithful persons, doesn’t mean they don’t exist, nor the Almighty doesn’t exist.

Is there any other country on Earth more hypocritical
than the good ol’ USA??

The founding fathers the religious zealots claim
created a Christian nation were mostly “Deists”. They
believed in a Supreme Being but not in the theocratic
baggage that comes with a devotion to a particular
religious philosophy.  How disgusted would they be if
they came back and observed the current state of our
absurd country? Thank “God” I’m an atheist!!

Our “secular” government doesn’t want its citizenry to abandon its belief in Bronze and Iron Age superstitions. Faith is the willful suspension of logic and reason. Religion lays the necessary foundation for a non-inquisitive and outright morose individual. If someone can be made to believe the Earth is less than ten thousand years old; they will be more likely to accept the “freedom” afforded by the state.

445 million bucks to dump more fairy tales into the heads of weak-minded jeezo-morons? I could claim to have a doctorate in Captain Hook from Peter Pan University, and it would have all the validity and practicality of a degree in theology. What nonsense. Cut ‘em off!

When church and state get married like this, it is actually apostate for the faith-based principles.. or just more religious grandstanding to further manipulate and mold the minds of the masses to the narrative of the ruling class…. as history has undoubtedly shown us.

When empire blends with anything resembling faith, the empire’s cravings trump the conscience.. and thus any semblance of justice ( considering the purpose of ‘law’ ).

Church and State United—but separated from sanity, morality, and intelligent public policy.

Yeap, he was ( and his organization ) well intertwined with the hegemony, that’s for sure.

FYI, if anyone calls Scheer a shill too much, they’ll ban you from TD for 3 months!

How do I know?

Guess where I’ve been for the past three months…. waiting for the site to be updated ( unfreeze ), today I log and and behold, the new articles are showing instead of the old ones from three months ago.

Yet, Scheer is still a sell out and a shill.  He loves his money, his prestige and his hall pass more than digging out and displaying the truth.

If I believed in Heaven and Hell, I’d be convince that the late Rev. Falwell is roasting slowly on a spit.
I first saw him on Sunday TV in 1978 after I moved South. I couldn’t believe someone could preach such garbage in America. Imagine my dismay as his movement gained power and a President, and was closely allied with that racist, sexist fascist, Jesse Helms “Nawth Car’linah doesn’ need uh zoo. Jes’ put a fence aroun’ Chapel Hill.”

And the Moon character who claims to be the Messiah ( obvious antichrist personality, guess he hasn’t read those particular scriptures in the bible ) being owner of that newspaper is quite interesting ( I say interesting instead of another word ).

Spooky times.

Oh wow, may he rest in peace….

looting in the Lord’s name, yeap.. sad.

@Napoleon, Falwell died in 2007, his heirs are the ones now looting in the Lord’s name.

Could Falwell ( I love this name, for he falls-well with the madness he’s perpetrating ) be said to be part of the hegemony?

Or is he just another religious tool?

WTF!!!!!!!!!

If you ever needed a good reason not to pay taxes to this effed-up government….........

We’re cutting funds and letting kids go so hungry their bones show, while spending our taxes to multiply the wattles on Jerry Jr.‘s cheeks, anterior and posterior.
