Here goes SirJosephPorter, again, with unmatched and unsurpassed talent for hyperbole and downright lies.

"Don’t’ be fooled by him, Cliffy, he has very little knowledge of US politics. And what little knowledge he has, it is tainted by far right philosophy. Thus he thinks that Rush ‘drug addict’ Limbaugh is a saint, while the well respected senator Byrd is the Spawn of the Devil (because very long ago in his youth he belonged to KKK)."

His favourite lines (which he CAN NOT quote or substantiate in any way, shape or form) are that conservatives think that Rush Limbaugh is a saint and they think that Democrats are the spawn of the Devil.

Neither of these idiocies exist, except in the delusional "mind" of the all-knowing oracle who can't come to terms with the FACT that Joan of Arc died hundreds of years ago and the FACT that Democrats, by and large are far more racists than Republicans.

Indeed, that is the problem with most of the Holy Books, relic. Most of the Holy Books are amorphous in nature; they say contradictory things at the same time. Like ‘Love thy neighbour’ and ‘thou shalt not suffer a witch to live’. Or ‘judge not lest thou shall be judged’, and death to homosexuals.

So it doesn’t matter how ridiculous a belief, how vile an act, some religious justification can always be found for it in Koran or Bible. When people like Mother Teresa, Jimmy Carter, MLK claim to be Christians on the one hand, and people like Pat Robertson, KKK, David Koresh (of Branch Davidians fame), Rev. Jim Jones, Savonarola, on the other hand claim to be Christians, it is clear to me that whole Christianity is nonsense, it based upon essentially a meaningless book (which says contradictory things at the same time).

I'm guessing you don't read your own posts.

"Possibly. But the truth doesn't, it is as fresh the 51st time as it is the first time."

Possibly, but you would not know the truth if it bit you on the ankle.
