Part-Time Pundit

This same man once remarked that prayer is immoral, and was very curt with me when I called him. He had no time to talk to me.

I am calling him from the show tomorrow.

Oh, I hope to hear ol' Kender talk to this dick head. Great post man! Isn't it completely ridiculous?

People like that only make me shake my head and then I wonder how they manage to get to the positions they hold. I guess they have a lot of pull with like minded fools.

I'm reminded of a local motorcycle gang here in L.A. CA. (name withheld so I won't get hurt :-) ) They had a real fool for the Prez of this group of toughs and I figured it was not because he was the best for the job but because when the heat came down they would have him to throw to 'The Man'...

The man is a fool. As a Catholic I feel that I have the right to be insulted over such remarks; however, concentrating upon the Scripture for a moment, I think that this man fits well into the description of the wicked man that is to be found in the Books of Psalms, Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus.

Maybe he has not heard the joke about what happened to the atheist in the wood when he met up with a hungry bear:

... and the bear crossed himself and said : "bless us O Lord for the food that we are about to receive"....

The Lousiana ACLU seems to have a perspective on religious freedom similar to that of the French, which is exemplified by its ban on wearing overt religious symbols in public schools, such as veils or large crosses. I ran across a site called understandfrance.org, and found it very illuminating. It was stimulating to try to understand a people who I find particularly frustrating. They truly believe that such a ban is FOR religious freedom not AGAINST it. The French and the American Left don't understand that religion in this country is a personal choice, not a social obligation. So when they try to ban the personal expression of faith in the public square it is from the view that this protects the individual from any "social pressures" to conform to a religious belief they have not chosen. What this view ignores is that Americans are very independent-minded about religion and the fact that there is not one dominant Christian denomination. I don't remember the statistics, but a lot of people change denominations over the course of their lives. This was not the case in France where the Catholic Church had interjected itself in every aspect of society. So in 1905 they went to the other extreme passing a law establishing a complete separation of church and state. The Left desires a similar situation in America, but it is not compatible nor is it necessary for this country. Ironically, it results in a sort of collective freedom of religion at the expense of the individual whom it is presumably trying to protect. Here is the site I referenced. http://www.understandfrance.org/France/Society.html#ancre3045332

”They believe that they answer to a higher power, in my opinion. Which is the kind of thinking that you had with the people who flew the airplanes into the buildings in this country, and the people who did the kind of things in London.”

And I believe that they do not answer to any higher power than themselves, in my opinion. Which is the kind of thinking you had with the people who killed tens of millions of people in Germany, Russua and Korea.

John, I posted some comments here yesterday, but didn't typekey authenticate, so they might be in your queue. I tried tracking back to you, but got a 403 forbidden error, I assure you I'm not a spammer, though my hosting company is 1and1.com and they have millions of customers and it is possible an account on the same server as me got compromised and spammed you.

Anyway, I commented on this post at my blog.

Are you aware that the 7th circuit federal court of appeals has recently ruled that Atheism is a religion which makes Secularism an atheistic doctrine. Well since this has always been true it follows that the ACLU is attempting to force others to follow their religion and so hopes to establish atheism as a state religion as well as prohibit theist from worshipping. This was plenty obvious to everyone but fanatics, fools, and the courts though perhaps the later are beginning to wise up.
