Religious people, christians in particular, are funny when it comes to their religion. When other religions are militant about their beliefs it's such a horrible thing. When I kiss my boyfriend on a street corner in Chicago, I'm jamming my lifestyle down their throats. Yet, when a christian sends this to me:
"HE is the only one that can save this country from the people that want him removed from the government. Our great nation will not stand if we delete HIM from all aspects of our government as the atheists want.Jesus Test This is an easy test, you score 100 or zero. It's your choice. If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said, "if you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father." Not ashamed Pass this on .. Only if you mean it. Yes, I do Love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Phil 4:13 This is the simplest test .. If you Love God, and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you.
Send this to ten people and the person who sent it to you! "
it is ok. Is this NOT militant? Well, to this person, I sent this response:
"We should ALSO add Buddha and Mohammed and Thor and Athena and Zues and every other deity known to man. Our country was not founded on Christian religion only but on the FREEDOM TO WORSHIP AS ONE SEES FIT FOR HIMSELF. If you disagree with this, you should reread your history books. You should also research the founding fathers, many of whom were NOT monotheistic. To think otherwise is ignorant of the facts. If you wish to eliminate ALL OTHER religions and only allow Christianity you are bigotted and shortsighted. You have chosen to dismiss the free will your god gave his creations (according to your bible). And remember, what someone will do FOR you, they will also do TO you. If our government will oppress and try to eliminate other religions for you, they will also do it TO you.
If you truly love the god of your religion, you will NOT inflict an injustice such as this on others. In stead, you will foster love and acceptance of others, others that your god also created. Your bible states quite clearly that you should not consider yourself more highly than you ought. Look it up before you go pissing your "Holier than Thou" on someone else's Holy. That is exactly what is causing all the trouble in Isreal, Ireland, and the Middle East. It is the lack of "Live and Let Live". And if you are so "without sin", than continue casting your stones, but I doubt you are. You just like to think so.

This was sent to everyone in the CC line of the e-mail that was sent to me. One of those,
zmendo@comcast.net, had this to say:
"Chuck,
Please delete me from any emails that you send. I am not interested in anything that you have to say!!"
I find this rather funny. Apparently they don't appreciate our government. They are unAmerican and disagree with our Constitution. I bet they would say they love this country. If they TRULY loved this country, they would accept the freedom of religion that is guaranteed by our Constitution. Instead they choose to turn a blind eye to every American and the rights they are also given to enjoy unless that American is Christian. In zmendo's opinion, I'm guessing by this response, only Christians should be free to worship as they see fit. After all, the rest of us can simply go to hell. Isn't that just like a christian to think these days? With hatred and bigotry? Seems like it to me.
Have a great day. Even you
zmendo@comcast.net, whoever you are.
