Mass. Gov. changes her mind |
Just seen something briefly on cnn about how Mass. Governor has changed her
mind about the ten commandments being displayed. Apparently they're not
going to do it.
Someday, the debate over god, Christianity(even Allah) will be as absurd as
debating Zeus today.
When will that day come?

Wha'd'ya call it when everyone picks a time and puts some
money in? A pool? I'll put a buck on 12 March 3210, but I
suspect that's at least 1,234 years early. But then, it's
only a buck.

'scuse me, but would you kindly clarify this statement? The Mass. Governor
is a "him".
However, it doesn't suprise me a bit that you have screwed this up and
changed not only the gender of the governor, but moved the state involved
several hundred miles north and east . .

Not in our lifetimes, or the lifetimes of our grandchildren, I'm afraid. And
what will be the real difference when that day does come? If history is
anything to go by, if and when Christianity and/or Islam do at last
disappear, it'll most likely be because they've been supplanted by some
other equally silly religion.

It'll happen, but only after the feeble-minder have an even worse god

idiots will invent to replace Yahweh.

Never. zeus never existed except is a Greek mythology book. Almighty God is

Funny, that's what Zeus' followers were promised too. I sense a
pattern. So did the con artists that made up christianity.

Heh. You'd think that the debate over Creationism would be dead in its

infidels, religious fascism will live on.

Are most Americans capable of understanding what a massive laughing stock
they are making of themselves around the world? Outside of the Middle East,
it's almost inconceivable that such ignorance can be even marginally
believed, let alone being given popular support and even seem to be winning.
How can it be possible in the modern age?????

Yes, but barely a majority.

Most "Christians" are quite passive in their "faith."
They're not critical, and they're never even going to
suspect the worst from their "religious" figures unless
rock-solid proof is presented to them in a manner which
they can not ignore.
Now put that together with the evil that passes itself off
as "Christian" religious authority, and you've got a
formula for disaster.
Even by the Religious Reich's own estimates, less than
30% of Americans are counted amongst their drones. The
real secret to their "Success" is not the active belief of
Americans, it's the passive acceptance of religious
authority.

Not quite a majority, you mean. The "barely a majority" voted to put the

Seriously, most are not.

Education has never been valued in the US. Thinking isn't encouraged,
much less learning critical thinking skills, but memorize and
regurgitate is. Further, the primary education system was dismantled
many years ago. In many (most?) cases, the uneducated are instructing
students. Curriculums have also been dismantled.
So now you've got old style 'Lybia,' or the American Taliban with the
largest military arsenal in the world which includes nukes and other
horrors.
