1. This passes and you'll see alot of "churches" opening up.

Maybe we should let it pass and reregister alot of organizations as "churches". Then, they'll be begging to put it back the way it was.

9. Use the correct term!!!

I prefer "American Falangists" or "Evangelical Falangists"

Quoting:

"Criticism is regarded as treason, political parties are outlawed, universal suffrage is eliminated, and the Catholic Church is restored as the official religion of Spain."

5. The irony here is that they are lending credence the notion that

fundamentalism is a bad thing.

6. I had to turn it off. I wanted to know what they are up to, but your

stomach can handle only so much.

Good point.

7. I'll remember that when I'm in church this weekend...

I'll try to remember I'm a secular fundamentalist when I'm attending church services Sunday morning.


About ten years ago, my pastor made a comment to the effect of,
"If you hear a politician invoking religion, walk away. If you hear a man of the cloth invoking politics, RUN away!"

I don't think anyone in my congregation knows his political affiliation and we're all pretty happy with it that way.

Ed. for spelling

8. That's another way of saying they don't like the LAW

Let them know it, and tell 'em its B.S.

10. Ban on Child Pornography?

Isn't that already illegal?

I remember a quote from the first episode of "The West Wing" in which Bartlett (Martin Sheen) cofronts the show's quivalent of the Christian Coilition:

Coilition guy: Mr. President, when in the name of the freedom of speech our children can go to any streat corner and get pornography for five dollars, isn't that too high a price to pay?

Bartlett: No.

Coilition Guy: (stunned) No?

Bartlett: On the other hand, I feel that five bucks is too high a price to pay for street corner pornography.

11. By the way, I actually like the title

"Secluar Fundamentalist" - somehow I don't feel terribly offended. :D

[KittyWampus]

12. Some People Call Themselves Christian

But their world view and agenda is any else but... :(

[rini]

14. Hate to be the one to tell ya

but they already do talk politics from the pulpit.

[Former Republican]

15. Since when is secular a bad word?

I was brought up believing in the separation of church and state and the French equivalent of secular (laique) always had a positive connotation for me, even when I was a Republican.

These morons need to wake up and understand that just because the founding fathers were Christian doesn't mean that their ideals at the time were conservative in terms of religion. The arguments that Bill O'Reilly makes are like as if I said that slavery is OK because Thomas Jefferson (a Deist, not a Christian) had slaves (he had moderate views on slavery at the time). It's absurd.
