Why is that strange? In the church we were taught Christianity was Christless, and many worse things. Did you fail to get that memo?

I pick on Christians so much because I feel that first I was bamboozled by my cradle religion (SBC) and then by the local church. Apparently you don't feel bamboozled by either your cradle religion or the local church. Why you left the local church and are on a forum of disgruntled exmembers is beyond me ... 'cept you prolly got tired of being abused by them. We must be better abusers. haha (laughter). If not we should try harder.

And while I'm not near as partisan as you seem to be (you seem to be more like Ann Coulter and her book "Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America"), I pick on conservatives because, the tack that sticks up gets the hammer. And why pick on the liberals? They are their own worst enemy. Look what they did? They pushed Bernie out in favor of the Hildabeast. There's no need to point out such stupidity. It speaks for itself. They put Trump in charge. You should thank them.

But aren't there both good and bad in both parties?

Take my friends and family . . .

My sister, a Yellowdog Democrat, is that way with our family. She won't talk politics with them. I gets too heated. I'm a mugwump, I don't like either party, and so don't have that problem. I'm with them when they are critical of democrats. And I pick on my sister so much she don't want me to talk politics. For eight years I really enjoyed bringing up Obama's flaws. My sister hated it.

Oh, my. my ... so you don't support Trump's EO on preachers preaching politics? But I think Trump did atheists a big favor. And they are so stupid they need all the help they can get. They don't even realize that the best thing that could happen to their movement is for the wall of separation between church and state to be taken down. Just look at Europe, for example.

What constitutes a fair minded person to you?

You and zeek are at times like LC leaders

Thanks.

The both of you can be pretty nasty toward each other. Stop it.

And there's plenty to laugh at, in religion and politics. Except in this last election. Both parties -- the Hildabeast and Drumpf -- are no laughing matter. Our comedians, however, sure are having a heyday ... way more than the days of Dubya. I didn't like him back then, but he sure looks pretty good about now.
