Awesome! Thanks so much Leah!

Brava Leah! Excellent post! Thanks!

$arah's tongue cleave goes with her cloven hooves....

Merry Christmas to you Leah. Thank you for another great post - just what I have always believed - Love IS the answer. And thank you so much for fighting the good fight. I never forget that it is a fight - against hatred, ignorance, ego, and domination. We must win this one.

Happy Holidays to all, may peace, joy and love fill your lives.

Excellent GenieO! I know you're not holding your breath for that phone call. :-)

The Proverb's verses remind me of what I've always believed and still do. When I was a child and forced to go to church and Sunday School every week (not evangelical), I started questioning the hypocritical behavior of our church leaders. They'd leave an uplifting service & gather together outside to gossip & bash people they thought weren't as holy as they were. It made me sick but I had to keep going. Then when I was married - at a very young age and moved away, I kept trying different churches, still questioning - not my beliefs, but the behaviors. Now I knewknow that not everyone is the same, but it became more and more clear to me that the commonality was that the more the person was a fervent church goer, the more hateful and condemning their behavior was. So I quit going to church to be able to protect my belief in the golden rule and a loving God.

This was a source of conflict between my Mother & I until the day she died. She believed that I was going to hell because I refused to enter the hallowed halls of a church. During my life I've researched other religions including Christianity - still questioning, and have gotten to the point where I no longer know how to classify myself. My beliefs have stayed the same - the golden rule, The Hippocratic oath - do no harm. I do judge. I am rabidly judgmental of X'hristians and judgmental fanatics of any kind. At some level, I feel guilty for not being able or willing to overcome that. But I'm overcoming that too. :-)

Thank you so very much Leah (and GenieO) for putting voice to everything I feel. I can't supply a lot of monetary support, will do what I can, but you have my full and undivided support for anything else I can do. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Leah, I'm signing on for the long haul too. Thank you so much!

Leah, Regina at Palingates has the link for IRS reporting on her sidebar. I think this is a great idea. All the Pastor's (caught on video) who pray for President Obama's death need to be reported too (both to IRS & the Secret Service).

OMG, the task ahead feels so overwhelming but we all have to do our parts to fight this. I just can't thank you, Alex, Mikey, Max, Gryph, Rachel and others like you enough. Bless you!

I hadn't watched the video before I responded before. BRAVO CENK! He had it soooo right! And Thank YOU Leah for bringing it to us.

Don't worry about self editing Leah, you have it exactly right and if anything, are too kind to these #$%^& c'hris'tians. Fumming here also!!

PS - Great article Hashmal! Thanks! And thanks to you Leah for bringing it to us.
