Of course I know who I am.
I believe in the inner god who doesn't need me to shove him in others' business. He guides me in life, helping me with decisions and being there when I need him.
He also has a bigger dick that your God.
Anyone of us, if we so choose, could cherry-pick our way through the Bible to find any number of verses to show... something or other.
In this case, the winger who created this seems awfully egotistical to me. Just saying. Not surprising because, as most of us have observed, teabaggers these days seem very uninterested in quoting Jesus, who is all about humbleness, humility, serving the poor, being meek, and so on. Teabaggers are much more interested in the vengeful, judgemental "god" of the old testament and seem hell bent on proving that they (teabaggers) are the ONLY ONES who know what's what.
Hence, even though I read the Bible every day, my interpretation of it is completely flawed and irrelevant, whilst theirs (teabaggers) is the correct & only interpretation, and "god" only speaks to them, etc.
Ho hum. As I stated, out here in Glennbeckistan, there are endless billboards exhorting us to "remember the reason for the season," which I interpret as remembering the real teachings of Jesus.
This "Christmas Bell" is yet another egotistical wingtard FAIL.
Remember the reason for the season: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Love one another; be kind; serve the poor; feed and clothe one another.
It's not about ME, ME, ME; it's about being humble and serving, as well as: Peace on earth, good will to all.
Personally, I don't see a big issue with this particular RWF.
If anything, complaining about it just supports the RW stereotype that all Liberals are Atheist (which is bull, of course).
If my RWD forwarded me this, I'd probably just reply back "Merry Christmas, Dad"... and leave it at that.
Comparatively with the other crap he sends me, (pardon the pun) this would be a blessing. ;)
There's all kinds of Muslim glurge just like this, unfortunately it's impossible to find it when you're looking for it.
I'll keep my eyes peeled and link to some when I find it. Might be fun to send to the folks.
Well said, Steve. Religion is not exclusive to the GOP, and I'm so sick of being accused of being godless due to my decisions to vote in another direction.
Meh, don't see the problem with this except it falls into my "cheesy religious crap" chain mail. Nothing especially right-wing about it.
Although I hope people aren't taking that "I am free from condemnation" and "I am free from any charge against me" stuff that literally. Huh?
Frankly, I'm impressed that someone on their side of the fence took this much time to actually READ the bible.
You can tell they actually sourced the bible this time, because there's nothing in there about how God hates fags, taxes, Muslims, libruls, and feminists, nothing about "supporting" the troops by forwarding cheesy eagle-themed e-mails, and a total lack of racist jokes.
Frankly, I'd be happy if the right would spend more time actually reading the bible, and less time making crap up. Maybe all the New Testament bits about the poor will eventually sink in.
Gotta start somewhere, I say.
