I was talking about RELIGIOUS people who hung out with and supported the rich, in an arena that happens to be politics. Quote:
Personally, I don't like religion involved in politics at all. Democrat or republican. Quote:

| Rants apart i think the thread was about whether it is possible to be liberal and religious at the same time. Personally i think that liberal politics is more religious than conservative politics. Here's why: All religions teach you to love your neighbor. Conservatives in america want the world to exist FOR america. And they are willing to exploit whoever they have to. Not very neighbor loving is it? All religions teach you to take care of the poor. Conservatives generally want reduced government spending on healthcare and education and social services. Not really considering the poor and downtrodden is it? All religions teach that human life is valuable. Yet conservative politics dictates the wiping out of opposition by force rather than by debate, dialogue and compromise. Conservative politcs would like more money spent on weapons so that non-believers can be bombed into subjugation. Conservative politcs rant and rave about the rights of unborn feti, but conversely support the invasion of foreign countries that kill thousands upon thousands of people. Is that valuing human life? Jesus was most certainly a liberal. He went against the conservatives of his own people ( the jewish rabbis ) and was crucified. Buddha was a liberal. He went against the hindu pundits ( conservatives ) of his time and was ostracized. Mohammad was a liberal. He went against the conservative idol worshipers of Mecca and was exiled. Socrates was a liberal. He was executed for going against conservative dogma. Yeah all leading prophets were totally conservative in their time. Love for all, Hatred for none | |||||||||||||||||||||

Wasn't that the album where - on the inside cover - the Doobie Brothers were all standing there naked with their "guitars in front of their organs"? I liked China Grove better... | ||||||||||||||||||||||
