The christians in this country are bringing forth thier own apocolypse... one day at a time. I cant wait to grab a shotgun and start blasting them like the zombies they are. Passed by the House, but it didn't matter, good Ol George could pass it by executive power. Our government rocks! We should just fire the entire Senate and go straight to dictatorship, because thats what it is... right? |

this bill is no surprise to me since it's been his platform all along. but that doesn't make it any less disgusting. and i am not being anti-religious here. this bill is bigotry in action. |

"The House on Wednesday approved a job-training bill that would allow faith-based organizations receiving federal funds to consider a person's religious beliefs in making employment decisions. " |

February 21, 2005 Last month media elder statesman Bill Moyers made a speech after receiving an award at Harvard in which he said that "born again" members of the Bush regime couldn't possibly believe in the future if they truly subscribed to the doctrines of Pentecostal Christianity -- since its theology includes the notion that the world has entered an "end times" scenario as described in the the Book of Revelations. Moyers went further, implying that people who explicitly and programmatically don't believe in the future have no business running a government, the chief task of which is safeguarding the future. Friends of mine are alarmed about the rise of the Pentecostals and evangelicals. Personally, I think there is going to be a hearty backlash against them. It is beginning to look too obvious that they don't care about several crucial aspects of the human project in its current form. They don't care about global warming. They don't care about the gathering world energy crisis. They don't care about America's phony economy based on ever more suburban development. At the secondary level, they don't care about basic medical research, they don't care about protecting the nation's borders, they don't care about corporate depradations against communities and workers, they don't care about the growing obscene gap between the rich and the poor. This apocalyptic religion has risen out of the Sunbelt, out of those very parts of the country that have most enjoyed hyper-turbo-mega prosperity during the high tide of the cheap oil era. Perhaps their dark vision is an apprehension that the things they have benefited from so hugely are indeed coming to an end -- easy motoring and cheap air conditioning, to name two biggies. But are they so dumb that no other way of life is even conceivable to them? |

Habitat for humanity, Salvation Army, YMCA, all of which are good programs... however the bill that's passed basically allows discrimination and shits on the seperation of church and state. |

habitat for humanity is faith-based? i am so out of the loop. this is insane but all i can do is laugh. can you imagine wanting to teach swimming lessons at the ymca and not being able to because jesus isn't in your heart? seriously, we are constantly doing this two-steps-forward-three-steps-back move. at least we got rid of the juvenile death penalty. |

Yeah seriously, so if an Atheist wants to help build a house, he can bugger off because Jesus doesn't want his hell-bound ass to help those less fortunate. |
