With your message about not replacing the Constitution with the Bible or Talmud or Koran.
We need to remind him that it is a slippery slope.

Nixon tapes showed him to be a Jew-hater. Forget this grifter family. When I see pastors and evangelists turning over their "ministries" to their children I know the score .... it's business. Family business = the sons of Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell, John Osteen, Billy Graham, Bob Thieme, and those are just off the top of my head.

while the other is fleecing your pockets.

These preaching charlatans are ALL ridiculously wealthy and enjoy wielding their political clout with their sheep. Of course, they answer to NO ONE except God, to which I might add, they ALL have a direct line of communication we hear from time to time.

We would all be better off if they actually were Christian.

Instead of dissing their beliefs, we need to instead point out their hypocrisy.

Jesus, for instance, did not say one damn thing about Gay Marriage or abortion, other than we are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. He was hanging out with Prostitutes and even Tax collectors OMG!

What he did say was to treat everyone as if it were him. All of those poor people that the right wing keeps dissing, blaming, hoping they will all just get sick and die...that is how they would treat Jesus.

They also need to be made aware of the old commandment 'Thou Shall Not Kill". It is not pro-life to promote war and killing, even if the people are a different color and happen to be from the same place as Jesus.
