White House won't denounce "Piss Christ"

[petros]

Inhale to the chief!

Maybe if the Christians who are so offended by this art display get out there and kill a few hundred of each other to get our attention.

But they won't.

And that of course is the difference between the Christians and Islam. Christians are all about the self, Islam is about the whole reilgion and all the people.



The entire video is fascinating and I recommend giving up the hour to watch it.



"The Right Hand of God still mixes politics, religion and money for party and profit. Still covers his tracks in a fog bank of secrecy, complexity, and sleight-of-hand. Still says to his flock, "Trust me."

Oh we do not kill Christians or those with religious beliefs - Atheists and selected artists should suffice.

Mitt said, in essence:

"While I disagree with your views, I defend your right to express them"

An attitude you seem to find incomprehensible.

No surprise there.

It’s a very bad thing, I think, this guy’s doing.

So show us where Obama aplologized and if so, how is it different than what Mittens said..............

Hayes, the divorced, unmarried mother of a 3-year-old daughter, was struggling as a nurse’s aide in a working-class suburb of Boston. She had little in common with the successful Bain executive, but the request wasn’t as odd as it might seem. Hayes was a Mormon. Romney was her bishop. Romney walked into her small apartment, made small talk and then commanded her to give her baby up for adoption after it was born. He was her bishop, and as she knew, Mormonism disapproved of single motherhood. Hayes said no.​

Romney did not like the answer and allegedly threatened Hayes with excommunication:

“Well, this is what the church wants you to do, and if you don’t then you could be excommunicated for failing to follow the leadership of the church,” Romney said, according to Hayes in an interview with Boston Globe journalists Michael Kranish and Scott Helman. Romney denied he made that threat, although he did not dispute the incident.​

And Romney’s extremist beliefs were not limited to Hayes. He imposed his extremist beliefs on many more of his subordinates:

Chosen as a kind of enforcer-in-chief, Romney betrayed a zeal far beyond the call of duty. Bishop Romney tried to stop a mother of four whose health was seriously endangered by her pregnancy from having an abortion. The church allows abortion in cases of rape, incest, and danger to the life of the mother, provided a male LDS authority gives permission to the pregnant woman. Romney's superior had already told the woman to proceed for the sake of her health; Romney intervened.Romney refused to allow an infertile couple to take advantage of the LDS adoption service until the wife agreed to quit her job and be a stay-at-home mother. Other reliable reports of Mitt’s years as a Mormon clergyman have him excommunicating adulterers, calling homosexuals under his authority “perverse,”warning a middle-aged divorced woman that she was not allowed to have sex, and telling a leading Mormon feminist, “You’re not my kind of Mormon.”

Me thinks that goes far beyond seperation of Church and State. It says **** politics all together.

It also brought strong rebukes, condemnations and apologies from President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a host of administration officials.

The administration tried to have the film removed from YouTube – but Google rebuffed their request. The State Dept. spent $70,000 on a Pakistani television advertisement rebuking the film. And the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff personally telephoned a Christian minister in Florida to ask him to withdraw his support of the film.

WH Silent Over Demands to Denounce ‘Piss Christ’ Artwork | FOX News & Commentary: Todd Starnes

h/t Blazing Cat Fur: I call this "Piss Obama"

So much for removing religion from politics. But if the issue caused a lot of damage in the form of rioting and whatever, then I can see gov't getting involved.
2 biggest banes of humankind are religion and politics. And there's 4 times the trouble when they are mixed.
