'Christianity is not a religion'

Tuesday, October 25, 2005

I feel sorry for the poor souls in the Dover area who have been deceived to believe their ancestors were monkeys. But that is just another result of the Warren court June 17, 1963 decision to remove God from our schools and government. Since that infamous decision, we have become a vulgar, profane, rude, crude, nude, tattooed society. Before that ruling most people didn't know what a pedophile was. Now they are all around us and very likely stalking a child in your neighborhood at this very moment. Our society was quite different when our law required that the Bible be read in school each day. Then you could allow your children outside to play.

Many of our founders were Christians, many attended seminary and many had Christian names, Paul, James, John, Benjamin, etc. When they penned the religious clause in the First Amendment they knew, as do all informed Christians, that Christianity is not a religion. Actually it is the opposite. Religion depends on works, Christianity depends on God's grace. Our founders knew the difference. Too bad many judges don't.

The purpose of the religious clause in the First Amendment is to distinguish between religion and Christianity. Jesus called religious leaders hypocrites, the blind leading the blind. Notice, the First Amendment does not mention God, Jesus, or the Bible because they are, in essence, Christianity, and were already well established. No Christian would sign anything that prohibits the promulgation of God, Jesus or the Bible, because it is the mission, passion, and desire of all Christians to spread the gospel (good news).

2. Wow, he admits that

He is against the separation of church and state, which is a core American value.

Lack of faith caused the increase of profanity? Here I thought it was the massive uniformity and McCarthyism in the 50's.

4. And back in the good 'ol days, we had strong churches...

... to shelter the pedophiles and keep their crimes secret.

:puke:

3. Let me get this straight....

Now that we know what pedophiles are, "they are all around us and very likely stalking a child in your neighborhood at this very moment."

Pure genius.

5. This guy wrote another LTTE in 1260 in Europe:

Letter to the Editor, Marsielles Mailer:

"Tuesday, October 25, The Year of Our Lord 1260 A.D.

I feeleth pity for the poor peons in the french countryside village who refused to say they were christians after our good christian soldiers burned and pillaged their village. Tis just another result of the lunacy of those librul's who don't want to force peons to publicly declare Christ as their Lord and savior. Because we continue to allow some of them to exist, we have become a vulgar, profane, rude, crude, nude, and once someone discovers the art of tattooing, a tattooed society. When we beheaded all of these heathens most good people didn't know what a pedophile was. Now they are all around us (what??? NO, I'm not talking about our priests!!!) and very likely stalking a christian child in your christian gated neighborhood at this very moment. Our society was quite different when our law required that the Bible be read in school each day and when we brought those slaves to work in our fields. Then you could allow your children outside to play as long as you kept an eye and a sword over those heathen slaves.

No Christian would sign anything that prohibits our good christian soldiers to rape, pillage, and cleanse those that don't publicly acknowledge God, Jesus or the Bible, because it is the mission, passion, and desire of all Christians to spread the gospel and rid the world of these pests."

7. LOL!

8. Jesus has a problem with tattoos?

Gee, I never knew that.

I like to ask, where is "God's Grace" now?
The televangelists like to indicate that "God" has removed his "Grace". I would advise them to look up the meaning of the word. GRACE has NOTHING to do with works, as this neanderthal points out. GRACE? WHERE?

Oh and btw, this ltte is nonsense.
