For the first time in history, a Hindu today delivered the Senate’s morning invocation. But three protestors belonging to the Christian Right anti-abortion group Operation Save America loudly interrupted the invocation, stating, “Lord Jesus, forgive us father for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight.” Watch it:
TPM’s Eric Kleefeld spoke with the head of Operation Save America today, who called the Hindu invocation “gross idolatry.”
Disgusting!
July 12th, 2007 at 5:42 pmthis is what happens when you have fundamentalist christian ideologues attempting to impose their religious beliefs on an entire nation, beliefs fueled by rigid dogmatism, bigotry, homophobia, and intolerance of other religious beliefs, all implicitly sanctioned by the presidential administration and the republican party… even though it’s been overused and abused, the correct term here is indeed the “american taliban…”

A true patriot who loved his country unlike the traitors around here!!!
July 12th, 2007 at 5:54 pmI read an interesting book called Constantine and the Bishops. It points out that pagan Rome thought the gods punished society collectively for the public sins of a few, and their main objection to Christians was their refusal to engage in the communal religious rituals, including the worship of the Emperor’s genius (protector spirit) - analogous to the JWs’ refusal to say the pledge. Christianity was persecuted because the pagans were afraid that Christians’ decision to opt out of communal worship would be seen as a snub by the gods, who would punish the community collectively for permitting that snub.
Conservative Christians are the new pagans. Their god punishes collectively, so any presence of any unorthodox worship in public risks raising their god’s ire.
It’s a sign of how backward their thinking - and theology - is.

Essentially there is peaceful liberal Christianity that really should distance itself from the other branch that is violent conservative Christianity, by denouncing the hypocrites, calling yourselves something else, and getting rid of all the violence in the bible that fuels the rabid right in the first place (and it does fuel them). Then, stand with all of us who are secular and fight against them to take back our country. Until you do, they think they are the majority with the base word Christian, even though it means different things to the two branches, and they will continue to behave this way.

The STUPID bible can’t even agree with itself on any of the myths about Jesus, and you want us to take it in blind faith that your god man is any different than their god man? Well wake up, Daryll - your Christ is simply a Middle Eastern version of their Krishna.

Another Un-American Pseudo-christian….
July 12th, 2007 at 6:28 pmYou had to let a man painfully bleed to death to assuage all of humanity from the horrid sin of two naked people having eaten an apple at the urging of a talking snake.
Well, the apple stuff originally comes from Mesopotamia (along with the flood etc.) and the bleeding man is “Part II” with the kinder, gentler God. These two things have nothing in common really, except that they are sold in a combo book.

July 12th, 2007 at 6:30 pmI don’t agree with anyone here… They shouldn’t be holding prayer in the senate ever. Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, Janist… whatever.
In order to have a prayer Congress would have had to pass a resolution setting up time for the prayer. That or a majority member would make the decision. Either way this is clearly an establishment of religion in violation of the first amendment. And if they’re doing it everyday with a Christian pray… that’s just disgraceful.
The Senate is not the building for prayer… that building is called a church/temple/moseque/etc.

July 12th, 2007 at 6:36 pmEssentially there is peaceful liberal Christianity that really should distance itself from the other branch that is violent conservative Christianity, by denouncing the hypocrites, calling yourselves something else, and getting rid of all the violence in the bible that fuels the rabid right in the first place (and it does fuel them). Then, stand with all of us who are secular and fight against them to take back our country. Until you do, they think they are the majority with the base word Christian, even though it means different things to the two branches, and they will continue to behave this way.
Comment by unbelievable — July 12, 2007 @ 6:25 pm
errrrr we’re not going to censor parts of the bible just because they’re violent.

July 12th, 2007 at 6:40 pmI am a Christian and really love that I have friends who are Muslim, Buddist , Hindu etc and we all get along fine…
Jesus was JEWISH and in Judaism people respect other beliefs, why do people forget that?
But for arguments sake if someone is evangelical and belives that Christianity is the only way to redemption, how would jumping down the throats of other people that arent saved help save them in any way? It is very un-Christian!
Nothing irritates me more than people that are so close-minded and whenever I meet someone who is close-minded wether they are close minded on religion, sexual orientation or a woman’s right to choose I say this to them : If you were in a burning building, you would want to be rescued by fire fighters, and you wouldn’t care how they think, who they love, or what they believe, you just would want your ass rescued and you should think about that next time you have one of your monotone hissyfits..
Ok I leave out the words ass and hissyfits but you get the idea, I hope other people read this and say the same thing next time they come across someone who is so hateful.

You’re welcome, Daryll. Glad to help.
You might want to research the history of the Protestant church and the separation of church and state in this country. Turns out that the most fundamentalist of Christians pushed the most heavily for the “wall” because they realized that it protected them from repression. It’s just too bad you can’t figure out such a simple fact.

Daryll, this is the sort of hypothetical nonsense that just doesn’t help. How can you tell what would have happened? And what do you know about how often the shooters prayer, etc. You don’t know anything about it. Making up facts and trying to rewrite history is unbecoming.
Just try being a good tolerant person. Enjoy your religion and be happy about how right you are. That’s all anyone wants. Just leave everyone alone. If we all burn then its our own damn fault. But as far as you know… you’re sitting pretty.
