Fortunately, one of my brothers is an Atheist, the other is moderately religious and my mom believes in the Christian god, but can't stand the Jesus Freak Hypocrites. She's now old and gray enough to be able to say anything to them and get away with it. I so look forward to that freedom of crazy old lady syndrome some day :). You know, if you do the math, there is no possible way that 3 couples (one of them post-menopausal) could have populated the Earth from when Noah's Flood supposedly cleaned the slate 4002 years ago tp 6.4 billion people today. Not only does the science disagree, but so does the math. If you want a good laugh, check out this (it's a debate between an 'Intelligent Design" "scientist" and a real scientist about Noah's Flood. It's hysterical) Okay I'm really off now... I guess it is hard for a science freak like me to understand religion…

Yes as children were attacked by perverts in office our leaders watched and did nothing because it was more important that the Bush corruption bills get passed. The GOP is more interested in pushing illegal torture bills then protecting our children. The GOP doesn't represent Christian values or morals Karl Rove used that to steal the election. God does protect the faithful as you've seen Foley was outed in time for honest Christians to know they were tricked before. Yes Bush used the born again christian to commit crimes and lies. The mask is off for all to see the real faces of Satan in the White House and Branches of government.
