Bush and Bush Sr. show up as well as Reagen Pat Buchanan, Rush Limbaugh(sp?) and generic other religious freaks.

Comments range from AIDs being a gift from god to kill evil homosexuals to femenism being a tool allowing women to kill their children an become lesbians and such.
Another good one was when the guy running the Environmental dept. in the 70s said that we didn't need to worry about protecting the environment because the Second Coming was upon us.

Amazing quotes IMO.
Especially the guy who was live on TV.

I find these funny and ironic and stupid among many other things.
Don't trust people of blind faith. It leads to bad thing. Very bad.

More reasons that all religion should be banned from the planet.

This is why people from Europe point at the USA and laugh.

Are you kidding me???
I[/u] point at the USA and laugh.

We are pretty ass backwards in many ways.

Compared to European countries, the USA is still very "young". An unfortunate consequence of this is that most citizens of our country are still very socially uptight.

Organized religion, while flawed, can provide some good to society as a whole. If you can remove the focus on ritualism & the political hierarcy within each religion, and then focus solely on the communicating well regarding the human lessons that can be learned (without judgment or predjudice), then it is capable of providing value to the community it serves. But that's a tough road...

The reality is that at this time there are no religious leaders willing to make the necessary changes to their church in order for them to become better skilled at such communications. And if people keep attending and giving them donations, they really have no motivation to make any changes.

Lol I still find these hilarious no matter how many times I read them. I'm scared some of these people have money and power.
My favorite quotes have to be pat robertsons can he really be anymore insane?

I thought the Micheal Savage quote was great too.
That one was over live national television.

Robertson was pretty insane and over the top.

I liked the ones about the second coming and armageddon being upon us too though.

Man I hate these people.  

You people are some of the most under educated, head under the ground, morons I have the delight of knowing. This is why they need to teach world history in school.

Jesus Christ, George Bush and Rush Limbaugh Religious freaks? They go to church and pray and OMG!!!!!! STFU!!!!! they have Christian morals. Which are a lot better than Muslim morals I can assure you. You want a religious freak look at Osama.

The quotes are all out of context and the whole site is biased bullshit.

You are right to a point, but some of the people quoted on that site said things that are indefensible regardless of what site it appears on.



Christian morals vs. Muslim morals?  I don't think anyone here was arguing that.  Perhaps the site was, but that's not the point.

Also, George Sr. is quoted as having said:



You're right that I don't know the context of this statement, but please do tell me in what context this statement is defensible.  I don't say he is an extremist.  I say he is an idiot.

I don't think he even read most of them.

Good thing we have the shouting seventeen year old to tell us how it really is.

I said something like that to my wife. I want to know the context of the quotes. But still some of the quotes are bad no matter what the context.

It's a pretty cheap and crappy site, so it shouldn't be too hard to find the context somewhere on the internet.

I dont know what high school you went to but I was taught world as well as US history.(Maybe it just wasnt in your schools budget.) I would rather have sane morals over christian and muslim morals any day.

For example the multiple people who said AIDs was a gift from god?

Really the only way many of those quotes could be defended as misleading is if the person had said that is something people should not say or believe or whatever.

It's homeschool here. And I know more world history than most High School teachers. My friends don't know jack about jack and that's why I said it.

And what I meant by saying that is that, if you look at European history, things were a bit more extreme. The English got a little loose about it and the separatist Puritans came over here.
We are a country that was halfway founded by those insanely strict Puritans and their...residue still exists.There are still people like them, some of the quotes are indeed from people like that.

But most are just horribly out of context. For instance; because I've heard them say it, the Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh quotes are just sarcastic remarks. Rush say's that stuff all the time.

I must say I am a very devout christian..Calling oneself a christian doesnt make one a christian..Im a firm beliver in Jesus and try my best to follow his teachings..But people are not God and they still are sinners like the rest of us.The difference between muslims and christians is Christians know were sinners and can only come to God through Jesus sacrifice.A gift of grace where the rest of the religions are based on getting to heaven by works..or earning their way in.Like I said christians are not perfect and still sin.

The rest of North America does this too.  Canada has been around just as long as the USA and is founded by pretty much the same people.  From my experiences most citizens of my country are not socially uptight.  I don't think this has anything to do with it.

Crackpots like Anne Coulter are allowed on TV because they stir the pot.  Get viewers emotionally charged and you have good TV.  This is an example I think applies to most people on that list.

Why is an entire religion getting blamed for things some of its rogue members do?  Lets pretend that for the sake of argument that all those people are power hungry raving madmen.  Do you really think they would be better off without religion?  Without “virtuous” laws to guide them to at least try to build a better tomorrow, they would just be madmen with reckless abandon for all life.

No offence, but judging Christianity based on a couple members is the exact same type of destructive cohesive group mentality that causes racism.:)

“HAY GUYZ, WE SHULDKASTRATE TEH GUYS B/C THAY R RIGHT WING FACHISTS BECAUSE HITLER AND STALIN WER GUYZ”

And the church in Europe is more predominate (and orthodox) in a lot of European countries than it is here.  But that is speaking in general, and general things can have exception.

Canada was founded by catholic French, not protestant puritans. The first settlers of the English colonies were separatist farmers. The first settlers of the Canadian colonies were adventurer trapper soldier types.

You aren't socially uptight because you're socialists. |D

I stand corrected.  But my point about the age of the country having little to do with it stands :)
