#1 Oh, this'll be good. Fish, meet Bicycle.

#2 I was trying to find a new church to go to and I can say that the Dems have found their home in many a pulpit. The sad thing is that you can tell these most of these churches when you walk in the doors. They have the same feel as a store going out of business. But they often do good charity works.

It's not all bad. These people are lost souls and in need of something more meaningful that the culture of self. As a Christian - I can't help but think that if you get them interested in The Message(TM) - and they will benefit - even if The Message(TM) is buried deep inside a paid poltical advertisment by a pig wearing a new coat of lipstick.

#3 I noticed the donks held their first spirituality event in a Unitarian church.

When I was in my 20s, the 'word' was that going to a Unitarian church was one of the best ways of getting laid. Perhaps the culture has changed.

#4 What? The Rev's Jackson and Sharpton too busy?
Now tell me about the actions of 'right wing' churchies. If they're left wing, its OK.

#5 Leftist spirituality is nothing new. From crystal gazing to metaphysics to 'Earth Day', the list goes on and on. The only thing missing is the concept of SIN. Let 'em try. Without the basic understanding that some behaviors are reprehensible simply because God says so, the truly spiritual will see right through them. Same old pig with lipstick indeed, Fred.

#6 Sin? The left uses hefty doses of 'guilt' to sell their programs. You are evil because you or your forbears were successful. The only way to relieve that guilt is to do as they say. Now give me 80% of your earnings and property.

#7 I could give a rat's ass about their religious beliefs. If they're not going to try to secure the border, minimize govt spending, and reduce taxes they won't get my vote, period. That goes for both sides. Our founders are turning in their graves.

Just wondering.

#11 At least they're staying away from Buddist temples this time.

#12 I want to listen to these half-wits talk about "spirituality" about as much as I want to go to mass to hear the priest talk about nuclear proliferation and opening dialogue w/Iran.

#14 They'll be lining up to join Opus Dei...they read all about it in the Da Vinci Code and it's just what they were looking for.

#16 -- "We want to bring in a nonutilitarian framework that sees other human beings as embodiments of the sacred." --

Except if your a fetus......especially if you're to be aborted 1 minute before birth........
