Reply #160: Talking about DEMS is like herding cats..

[Tigress DEM]

We are very diverse. So many different levels of this issue.

People who can honestly dialogue with the religious right using their own language to prove to them how they are NOT following the example of Christ can do so. And a DEM can be a Christian without suscribing to the fundie beliefs.

If someone isn't coming from that background, they should do what is comfortable and honest for them in these situations.

Rabbi basically said to the reporter that lying to get elected is still lying even if you dress it up with religious rhetoric, that doesn't make it the correct thing to do.


Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy do occasionally get loud and obnoxious and insult the intelligence of anyone who supports *ush.

We've all (I'm sure) posted, "Quit drinking the koolaid" to someone who just didn't seem capable of "getting" it.


If I can happily support an atheist not believing in God and feel that if it works for him/her that's great. (Not my cup of tea, but good for that person.) Can I get the same back from an atheist? I have on occassion gotten that from pagan friends.

But does being an atheist mean you have to choose between embracing my religion or being offended by the fact that I believe as I do? Isn't there usually somewhere in between that works better?
