DUers --- here is inspiration, comfort, and hope for the fight ahead . . .
Don't give up the fight. It gets hard. It’s depressing at times. Sometimes we want to quite. Hang in there and keep up the fight for truth and justice. Don’t give up. I believe we will prevail.

Here is some inspiration, comfort, and hope in the form of a song to make you feel better . . .

Not all Christians are bad. Only the ones who don’t know personally the real Jesus of the faith they proclaim. There are many wolves in sheep clothing. Jesus told us to be aware of them.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace. He led and lived his life as a clear and easy to understand yet inspirational example. Jesus would not kill. Even a child can easily see that Jesus would not ever do what the radical “Christian Right” support and do by backing such a fraudulent Bush Crime Family Neo-con Rethug administration as we have today. Their support of this administration denies their faith. Jesus would not steal elections, MIHOP 9/11, start pre-emptive illegal wars, steal other nation’s resources, use torture, spy on people, and constantly lie. The list is endless.

There are real Christians who are standing up and fighting back . . .

Hit so-called Christians where it hurts. Challenge their faith to open their eyes.

NGU!

PS --- My family attends a Methodist Church and we are against this fraudulent administration and the illegal wars they wage.

1. Good for you!
Edited on Fri Jul-14-06 03:43 AM by Juniperx
I was baptized Methodist and basically raised Assembly of God... and the hypocrisy has turned me Agnostic.

I'm all for REAL Christians who walk the talk.

I'm in the middle of a heated debate with Fundamentalist family members and your links are the perfect ammo. I keep telling them that their ears are being tickled and that many will come in the Lord's name and will fool even God's chosen. We sat in the same Sunday school classes but I guess I'm the only one who remembers. They think I'm in league with Satan right now because I won't support their blessed Bush.

I went to church with my aunt three years ago when this war mess first started, and the pastor led a prayer in support of Bush and asked that the "anti-war" protesters have their eyes opened. It was all I could do not to scream at him and tell him not to talk about the cinder in my eye when he has a log in his own... I really wanted to walk out, but out of respect for my aunt, I stayed and fumed. I can only imagine what warmongering hatred that man is filling her head with now.

Why in hell would the Prince of Peace condone war, lies and hate? It boggles the mind.


Edited to say... I just posted your links on my family's website. Thank you so much!

2. Kickin' because this is important!
Want to fight the 'backwash'? The Fundie Base? Send them back to Sunday school! They are being led astray... you'd be doing them a favor...
