Growing number of Americans worried they might be Muslim
Rather amusing piece from News Arse

http://newsarse.com/2010/08/20/growing-number-of-americans-worried-they-might-be-muslim/

As a new survey showed that over a third of Republican Americans believe President Obama to be a Muslim, many have admitted that they are worried a lax Democrat approach to homeland security might mean that they too, are now Muslim.

The survey showed that 20% of Americans believe President Obama to be a Muslim, but that figure rises to 34% if you only ask right-wing voters who desperately want to believe all the bad things you hear about President Obama.

Concern has only been worsened by rumours that the number of Muslims in the US is growing at a rate that any sane person would consider completely insignificant.

One worried Republican told us, “There was a Muslim in my supermarket last week, and I think he might have given me Islam when he sneezed in my direction.”

5. there are no athiests in America
According to my next door neighbor, self-professed athiests are just people trying to get attention. Yes, he attends some holy roller mega-church.

4. Well just remember folks, if they say you are a muslim, then indeed
you are a muslim, because that's the new thinking. A person is whatever religion that other people think they is.

10. There are some doctrines that treat people like collectables.
Edited on Fri Aug-20-10 07:35 PM by RandomThoughts
You can see it in many places, seen some tv skits on it, also many elite are told that doctrine, although most defeat that doctrine.

Basically it is the idea of 'things' owning people, it can be part of pet and toy doctrine also.

Some people are told if they are part of a collection, they can own people themselves some day, or in some cases indicators make them think they already own some people, although that is complicated to explain. Basically there is a trick of correlation that can get someone to think they own someone else.


But anyways, within those sets of doctrines, people do not have free will, and are owned by different things, and some include religions as part of that.


That might be why that comment was mentioned.


The best song, that also addresses that doctrine is 99 red balloons.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14IRDDnEPR4

Notice it believes in people being free, breaking down the concept that someone is owned. But that people are set free instead.

They are interesting doctrines and in many places. Note I do not believe in collector doctrine. Note the flaw is that it is a metaphor in monetary concepts, so in that it has flaws.
