I had the news on today. CNN was covering the commercial resupply shot to the ISS. I flipped to Fox and they were wall to wall coverage on some guy trying to sneak the head of the disembarkation line an an American Airlines flight. MSNBC had talking heads chortling about how Obama had Romney on the ropes.

Then, I noticed a slogan they were alternating with their logo. 'LEAN FORWARD'.

This sounds uncomfortably like 'BEND OVER'.

Is this gay marriage thing going to be made mandatory next term?

Yes, and unfortunately the Homosexual Obama Marriage Order matching software currently has you paired with Bull Gator; my sincere condolences.

Forward. Hmmm. I think I like it.

As a matter of fact, I think it makes a great slogan. One that the People can remember while they toil away for the success of the State.
Your leader has adopted "Forward", and MSNBC must be his favorite network.

You know what i love, when the right promotes how Obama's christian minister had a major influential role in his life and then turn around and claim he is anti-christian or even better a muslim. Fuck, at least pick one or the other. That or accept he is a moderate who believes in maintaining the secular nation our founders intended.

MacCarthy would fit right in to the current republican party, hell mittens could use one of his speeches without even garnering a flinch. THAT is scary.

Liberal is the communist, even if the liberal in question is a moderate. Just what the special interests ordered.

Not sure but the outer wear is interesting. You seem to think making fun of religious clothing is good sport so have at it. You are only risking your reputation and seriously, in your case how much can that be worth?

Well, given that Jesus came from the ME/N Africa - I'd say there is a very high likelihood that he's black. Maybe not traditional "Sub-Sahara African Black", but probably very dark-skinned.

There are a LOT of arabs here that are as black as any of the blackest "African Americans" along with some lighter black and dark drown arabs. I'm betting that 2000 years ago, the majority of the fertile crescent and the land of Jesus were all VERY dark black. Certainly not caucasian looking.

They incorporated the current thinking of American whites at the time of their founding within their theology. Blacks were not fully human, certainly not humans like they were.

That probably explains why Joseph Smith converted a number of blacks into the early church and elevated some to senior leadership positions. No doubt it influenced his anti-slavery platform when he ran for President.

A lot of Mormons were killed because the church was considered a threat to slavery.

Maybe the Missouri Militia shared your ill-informed hate and bigotry. Maybe you have been first in line to pull a trigger on little Willard?

It must be nice to be you. Without any religious affiliation you can toss anyone under the bus for their religious views, while you pretend to be tolerant.

I'd like to see something to back your claim that Mormon's hate anyone. Please stick to present day Mormonism.

The Trinity United Church believes Jesus is Black. There was nothing critical in my post. I asked only how that person would categorize that faith.

It reasonable to accept Jesus as a white man. He was fabricated from the imaginations of white men. Why would they imagine any other race?

But the real question is what color is his brother, Lucifer?

Pete: I've always wondered, what's the devil look like?
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, Pete, but the great Satan hisself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork.

Don't confuse the current state of many evangelical churches in the US, with actual history. Whether you believe Jesus was an actual person or not, it was not a bunch of guys that look like Pat Robertson that first practiced what we have come to call Christianity today. Likewise what was actually practiced back then bears little resemblance to what is practiced today, at least for the most part. There are a few denominations which might surprise you, and some that are even fairly progressive. http://fcnl.org

I'm referring to the white guys who held the First Council of Nicaea. These Greeks and Romans were the dudes that set Christianity on its course. They made up the stories that drive evangelicals today.

Don't confuse the current state of many evangelical churches in the US, with actual history. Whether you believe Jesus was an actual person or not, it was not a bunch of guys that look like Pat Robertson that first practiced what we have come to call Christianity today. Likewise what was actually practiced back then bears little resemblance to what is practiced today, at least for the most part. There are a few denominations which might surprise you, and some that are even fairly progressive. http://fcnl.org

I'm referring to the white guys who held the First Council of Nicaea. These Greeks and Romans were the dudes that set Christianity on its course. They made up the stories that drive evangelicals today.


Fair enough. I would only disagree in that that the stories were already being told, they picked which ones to make official.

It reasonable to accept Jesus as a white man. He was fabricated from the imaginations of white men. Why would they imagine any other race?

But the real question is what color is his brother, Lucifer?

Pete: I've always wondered, what's the devil look like?
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, Pete, but the great Satan hisself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork.
Tommy Johnson: Oh, no. No, sir. He's white, as white as you folks, with empty eyes and a big hollow voice. He likes to travel around with a mean old hound. That's right.

Comrades:

Forward. Hmmm. I think I like it.

As a matter of fact, I think it makes a great slogan. One that the People can remember while they toil away for the success of the State.
Your leader has adopted "Forward", and MSNBC must be his favorite network.
Coidincidence?


Your Chairman


Great LEAP forward...

May a Thousand Flowers Blossom!!!


The great leap is after the lean forward. Then all the rosebuds blossom.


My Comrades:

Get up off your sofas, stand up, and Lean Forward while watching your Comrades at MSNBC interview their Comrades at the White House!

Your life will be fulfilled and our Four Year Plan complete!

Your Chairman

Thankfully South Park summarized the Mormon faith for us. In this episode which is pretty classy.

Worth noting NY kicked them out, but was OK with the Amish, Mennonites and the Onieda cult (the ones who made flatware). The abolitionist movement was strong throughout the area in that period and remains just about the only positive movement that first came, in large part, from devout religious activists.

Comrades:
Please remember your manners.
I believe you have anti bullying and hate crimes laws in your country that make it illegal to push around minority Asians.
If you want to take it overseas, I'd point out that we are billions, you only millions.
Remember that, my comrades.

Yes, and the political prisoners have full access to computers to play on-line games.

Somebody really, really, misses the extremely simplified dichotomy of McCarthyism.


Say, that isn't the case where Obama said "Are you or have you ever been a member of a Chistian Church" is it?


You know what i love, when the right promotes how Obama's christian minister had a major influential role in his life and then turn around and claim he is anti-christian or even better a muslim. Fuck, at least pick one or the other. That or accept he is a moderate who believes in maintaining the secular nation our founders intended.

MacCarthy would fit right in to the current republican party, hell mittens could use one of his speeches without even garnering a flinch. THAT is scary.

Liberal is the communist, even if the liberal in question is a moderate. Just what the special interests ordered.


How should we catagorize Black Liberation Theology and its Black Jesus? Hmm interesting question.


Tell us how you classify them on Planet Kolob.

It took us thousands of years to get to where we are now. Do you think your meal would taste better if we rushed it?
