This is my first time here. Palin is the antithesis of a Christian.
The next time anyone happens to be discussing politics with a Christian Fundamentalist; ask them why does Palin feel its "ok" to break the ninth commandment over and over, ad nauseum. The ninth covers perjury or lying. Another excerpt from the bible discusses the obtuse leading the oblique. Matthew 15:14, "They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a ditch." Surely both McCain and Palin are blind as to the complex issues of leading this country. They will continue leading this country into ruin as Bush as done.
Two more thoughts have to do with dishonesty and lack of ethics. Proverb 11:1 TLB, "The Lord hates cheating and dishonesty." And this last excerpt is from Psalm 51:6, TLB; "You deserve honesty from the heart; yes, utter sincerity and truthfulness. Oh give me this wisdom." Having been raised as a Chrisitan, I find Palin to be about as far from living a righteous life as anyone possibly could.
I am sixty-two and left the fold when I was 21. That was one of the most freeing days of my life. Fear is one of the basic components of fundamentalism. Think "Animal Farm" by Orwell when you attempt to understand the ideology/mentality of Christian Fundamentalism or any limited system of thought. Pigs play a major role in that novella. I thought the reference to lipstick on a pig really applied to her. I laughed really hard over that. The laugh really is on her.
I once tried to discuss women's rights with a fundy and when he felt he was losing the argument, he accused me of being possessed by the devil.
Because of the Book of Revelations, they will feel completely justified if they can bring this planet to total destruction. They are far more the greater threat to humanity then any other problem we face.
