You Might Be a Christo-Fascist If...

[tgnyc]

Believing that God created individually each life-form that ever existed on Earth is not Christo-fascist.
Trying to alter the definition of science so that religious-based theories of the origin of species can be taught alongside the theory of evolution in high school biology classes, as the state of Kansas is currently considering doing, is.

Believing that homosexuality is a sin against God is not.
Trying to cancel an entire sex-ed curriculum because one section of it (accurately) cites certain religious groups as being non-receptive to gays, as is happening in Montgomery County, Maryland, is

Airing television dramas with explicitly religious themes, like "Joan of Arcadia" or "Touched By An Angel," is not.
Pandering to a revivified fundamentalist audience with mediocre and corny melodrama like "Revelations," as the NBC television network is doing, is.

1. BTW what's the deal with "Revelations"

It's playing on NBC and Sci-Fi and Bravo?

:wtf:

3. The end of days is nie...

they just want us to be prepared :evilgrin:

8. Then you'd think that they'd get the title right

The book of the Bible is Revelation, not Revelations. Many folks who scream "rapture" with such gusto can't even get the title correct.

:rant:

10. I went to a Christian school and my Bible teacher would correct

anyone who said Revelations. It was his pet peeve.

4. SciFi? Yeah, I guess.

There are enough apocalyptic movies where scientists or aliens destroy the world that one making God the heavy isn't so different.

5. THey're doing audience development

trying to get niche audiences attached with cable outlets so that they can re-premiere it on NBC for a higher share or something along those lines.

7. I wondered about that too - have you ever seen that happen with any other

current network primetime show, miniseries or other? I haven't, and I thought it was weird, too. The show is so patently trite it's laughable, right down to the two raven-haired, sultry, slinky "sluts" - who drive a devil-red sportscar & morph into black cats - and are obviously minions of beelzebub. And the "virgin mother" - blond & blue eyed, just like xtians like to picture her most... "Revelations" is such a hackneyed, grade F piece of shit production, I can't believe it ever made it to the tube on any network besides CBN!

[Inland]

11. Both God and Devil, apparently, are tied to hackneyed stereotypes.

An entire eternity to think of something new and fresh and they just fall back on the old standbys.

God on the bluetooth: "Well, I guess we should make the virgin mother blond: I know the first was a dark brown, but the focus groups thought the look was a little 'middle eastern', you know.... Yeah, I know, but people have certain expectations.....Maybe from Minnesota, the Americans aren't going to buy some chick from Germany or Sweden..."

2. I'll buy these distinctions

because to some extent it is the distinction between religion and politics, and some because "Joan" and "Touched" is TV pablum.

6. Believing that

Jesus was a good guy is not.

Teaching Bible classes in public schools while excluding Old Religion literature, any references to it in modern culture, and refusing to teach historical facts of "Christian" persecution of pagans is.

9. Actually, I think that studying religion could be beneficial in public

schools.

Day 1. Buddhism
Day 2. Judaeism (sp?)
Day 3. Shintoism
Day 4. Islamic
Day 5. Wiccan
Day 6. Norse
Day 7. you get the idea
...
Day 150. Christianity subdivisions from that point on . . .
