"God puts the creeps running this country in power..." Hmm... Wait a tic. Now I know the founding fathers called for separation of church and state and all, but yet. They did happen to build the country on religion. All the puritans were to thank for that. I guess we turned out pretty bad after all... Well... After the liberals made it a terrible thing to believe in religion...
Vanhoories, Deism and Atheism aren't the same thing. Deism means that God created the universe, but then stopped giving a shit and let nature run its course, and doesn't play a role in everyday life. There's still many deists today.
And K-Billy, your comment was ridiculous. I have trouble finding one accurate statement.
Enter the rhetoric of "all religions suck, because of blah blah blah especially the christian one, because you know, we are the most intolerent of them all" argument bullshit --->
-------------------------------------
Ummm... I'm not the one who claimed that Jesus established the government. You're going a bit on a tangent there.
And Archman, man, I'd love to be as clueless as you obviously are about what has been going on. No, the toolbox of powers claimed by the executive hasn't grown over the past several years, has it? Oh no, of course now, pfffft! Back to the doughnuts and beer...
Actually this country was FAR more religious and intolerant towards non Protestant Christians and especially Pagans, Muslims, Catholics, Muslims, Agnostics and Atheists. People make it sound like our history was secular humanism and we all of the sudden âgot religionâ in the last few years.
The government has no official stance on religion, quit whining.
The point isn't against christians. I'm sure christians who have actually read their bible instead of relying on some dude to tell them what it says would realize that, as wonderful or as fucked up as it is, it doesn't say what these cunts are saying it says. This just goes to show the level of cooperation/corruption of the church and state.
Again you argument is weak, there is no singular partnership between âchurch and stateâ.
The state does business with all types of organizations, some have religious overtones, some are completely secular. Most Western Democracies work this way, involving the Church, Temple, Mosque or fucking tee pee for that matter into community services is one of the few good points of organized religion.
No one is imposing their religious dogma on you here, if the idea of God offends you, too bad.
The idea of a god doesn't offend me. The idea of a corrupt church, that will tell suckers whatever it is told to tell the, does offend me. Do you think any bible scholar could actually interpret Romans 13 to mean we need to submit to this government (basically, submit to a corporation - it's ridiculous)? Obviously they are saying what the government wants them to say.
haha K-Billy by your sarcastic "living in anarchy has always done wonders." are you saying you would support a 100% big brother state to ensure against anarchy?
No oranje, i would'nt support 100% big brother, I dont think anyone honestly does. To follow up on the obvious retort. I also dont think that's what's happening to my country.
So Billy, how far does it have to go before it is too much for you? What if we had cameras everywhere? ID cards that allow us to be tracked? I'm just wondering where you draw the line, so that I can be the first to tell you when it's crossed.
And submitting to the government and anarchy are not the only two choices. We have a great set of laws, real laws, that comprise common law. That's the law of the land, from before the government became nothing more than a corporation with intricate contracts with the millions of corporations representing us.
What is wrong with following the constitution and common law, rather than the bullshit we have now? Why do we have so many people in prison? You should only be in prison if you're out there to hurt someone, not if you're smoking a joint or giving a whore $20 for a blowjob. If anything, the constitution and common law are much more in keeping with the bible, then the shit they've been replaced with.
There's no need for government in every aspect of our lives. The government was supposed to serve the people, not the other way around. It's not better this way.
Dont put words into my mouth El Wanko. If you knew anything about me, you would understand that I arm for the least amount of government. I am all for what you are saying about common law, BTW.
Cameras everywhere and ID cards that track you everywhere do indeed suck. But if you asked an Orson Wells when he was still alive what he thought about everyone someday being connected through cell phones what do you think he would have said?
Wasnt the Patriot Act a problem to you? What about innocent people being held indefinitely without charge or the 700 laws Bush has claimed executive privilege in order to bypass etc etc.
The way I see it, before you said "enough is enough" it would be at the stage where you had to call the CIA & ask permission to go to work or before making a phone call.
If you're right, it only strengthens the point being made, because in that case, anyone making statements like the guy in the video--"Government is established by the lord"--is deceitfully twisting that passage for their own benefit.
The whole idea of "Devine Right" was made up in the middle ages so the ignorant peasants would not overthrow the tyrannical kings of the time. After all, you wouldn't dare go against god, would you?
Fer fuck's sake Arch, you're like a rabbit on heat. First Starrsky, then Delilah and now Fries. Are you just gonna run around until you find somewhere to park it?
Me neither... that 'Clergy response team' thing really threw me. When are we going to declare on the most evil dictatorship in the world and invade the Vatican?
Christians tend to forget that Jesus was a revolutionary who spoke out against the government and society in his time. The whole ideology teaches to fight evil and oppression, so why are they all now bending over for the government, when they have a true reason to fight? I guess they'd rather bitch about something than do anything about it.
Isn't that the way it usually goes. I mean just one example: Go to your local bar. How many people at the bar are smoking vs. how many that don't? But yet now, you can't smoke in a bar because Frita Fatcunt bitched enough that the other 4 people got behind her and made it a law. Anyone with enough backing that bitces enough can change anything in this country!!!
for the last time people.... there is no ACTUAL historic proof that there even was a jesus.
unless you count the historians that didn't even live during the time jesus was supposed to be alive... cuz they would know.
Yak's right. Writings about Jesus only appeared decades after he was said to have ascended. You'd think that at least one person would see him cure a blind man and then rush home to write about it in his diary. On top of that, Jesus left no writings of his own. So either he didn't exist, or he was illiterate. And the son of God being illiterate is certainly something to think about.
Comments to Bible vs. Brains
"God puts the creeps running this country in power..." Hmm... Wait a tic. Now I know the founding fathers called for separation of church and state and all, but yet. They did happen to build the country on religion. All the puritans were to thank for that. I guess we turned out pretty bad after all... Well... After the liberals made it a terrible thing to believe in religion...
The founding fathers were atheist. At the time some called Diest. They had no love for the Church or religion.
Printing "In God we trust" on money isnt building a country on religion.
In God we trust was added to money in the 50's to promote anti-communism
Point taken, religion has been used by our government more as a political tool then a moral lifestyle.
always quick to blame the liberals.
liberals didn't do anything. Um, but the advances in science did.
you know, that devil science that gave us things like electricity and penicillin.
...oh, but god had a reason to give men nipples.
Smerf figured it out.
Yeah, I feel better everytime I hear George W. say he'll pray. That gives me a reassured feeling his dicisions come from an honorable source.
^^ i lol'd

what? The "separation of church and state?" That didnt make sense? LOL. Ok deaddumb. I think it's time for sleepy bye...
I've had my sleep, K-Bill. Still can't find anything you said in your above comment that made sense.
Move along, nothing to see here! Hey, aren't you missing "So You Think You Can Dance" right now?
By the people, for the people, of the people? Hell no, "Government is established by the lord". Who knew?
Give me a break.
seriously.
Enter the rhetoric of "all religions suck, because of blah blah blah especially the christian one, because you know, we are the most intolerent of them all" argument bullshit --->

espada9, you're not even on fucking point. It has nothing to do with "tolerance" or the government's "official stance on religion", dumbass.
The point isn't against christians. I'm sure christians who have actually read their bible instead of relying on some dude to tell them what it says would realize that, as wonderful or as fucked up as it is, it doesn't say what these cunts are saying it says. This just goes to show the level of cooperation/corruption of the church and state.
It's who has the money that controls the Government.
Again you argument is weak, there is no singular partnership between âchurch and stateâ.

I'm sorry TG, i misspoke up there. I meant to say, "with help from their foundations in religion, they built the foundations of our country."
The idea of a god doesn't offend me. The idea of a corrupt church, that will tell suckers whatever it is told to tell the, does offend me. Do you think any bible scholar could actually interpret Romans 13 to mean we need to submit to this government (basically, submit to a corporation - it's ridiculous)? Obviously they are saying what the government wants them to say.
cause you know, living in anarchy has always done wonders.
haha K-Billy by your sarcastic "living in anarchy has always done wonders." are you saying you would support a 100% big brother state to ensure against anarchy?
..anarchy or the possibility of some old lady stood near her TV talking about how she isnt happy with the govenment?
i like turtles.
No oranje, i would'nt support 100% big brother, I dont think anyone honestly does. To follow up on the obvious retort. I also dont think that's what's happening to my country.
So Billy, how far does it have to go before it is too much for you? What if we had cameras everywhere? ID cards that allow us to be tracked? I'm just wondering where you draw the line, so that I can be the first to tell you when it's crossed.

You need to answer his question.
How far does it have to go before it is too much for you?
that's a good question. I guess my simple answer would have to be. Before the "government" takes total control.
Wasnt the Patriot Act a problem to you? What about innocent people being held indefinitely without charge or the 700 laws Bush has claimed executive privilege in order to bypass etc etc.
The way I see it, before you said "enough is enough" it would be at the stage where you had to call the CIA & ask permission to go to work or before making a phone call.
lol, it's all perspective man. all perspective. If you cant fathom the greater picture, then... well...???? That's just ok with me.
Or, you know Romans 13 could in fact be talking about living in an anarchic society, vs. a civil one? Bah, what do I know anyway?
If you're right, it only strengthens the point being made, because in that case, anyone making statements like the guy in the video--"Government is established by the lord"--is deceitfully twisting that passage for their own benefit.
The whole idea of "Devine Right" was made up in the middle ages so the ignorant peasants would not overthrow the tyrannical kings of the time. After all, you wouldn't dare go against god, would you?
Which one thepope?
Ok let's try to stay constructive in our comments please and focus on the actual relevant issues possed by these videos.
I bet that newscaster can give really good head.
So what's everyone's position on anal sex?
it gets rid of fags eventually?
Good with the right girls, better with the wrong ones.
ive not tried it yet :0(
I'd much rather be in the 'giving' postition, Arch, if the choice was mine. I'd hate to be the catcher. I think.
Fries, are you a girl.
Fer fuck's sake Arch, you're like a rabbit on heat. First Starrsky, then Delilah and now Fries. Are you just gonna run around until you find somewhere to park it?
^I never had a problem with that strategy.
i didnt get it?
Me neither... that 'Clergy response team' thing really threw me. When are we going to declare on the most evil dictatorship in the world and invade the Vatican?
We would if it told us to.
Christians tend to forget that Jesus was a revolutionary who spoke out against the government and society in his time. The whole ideology teaches to fight evil and oppression, so why are they all now bending over for the government, when they have a true reason to fight? I guess they'd rather bitch about something than do anything about it.

But yet now, you can't smoke in a bar because Frita Fatcunt bitched enough that the other 4 people got behind her and made it a law. Anyone with enough backing that bitces enough can change anything in this country!!!
Majority rules, how awful.
Would it be better if the few ruled the many? Oh wait, we're already heading in that direction.
for the last time people.... there is no ACTUAL historic proof that there even was a jesus.
unless you count the historians that didn't even live during the time jesus was supposed to be alive... cuz they would know.
well, something happened 2000 years ago that rocked the world. It turned a FUCKING LOT of Jews into "christians." That's not good enough for you?
Mel?
Something now is turning a lot of people into Scientologists. I suppose that means Lord Zenu (whatever the fuck his name is) exists?
does he? Wheres the SOLID proof for that? Of course, it's fucking TOM CRUISE!!!!
The proof needs to come out of the closet.
Yak's right. Writings about Jesus only appeared decades after he was said to have ascended. You'd think that at least one person would see him cure a blind man and then rush home to write about it in his diary. On top of that, Jesus left no writings of his own. So either he didn't exist, or he was illiterate. And the son of God being illiterate is certainly something to think about.
Worked ok for Mohammad.
He tried but everything he touched would keep turning into Skittles.
praise Zenu fags
