I guess I really am the "anti-Christ"…
For years now, it’s been somewhat of a running joke amongst the Amiga computer crowd to refer to me as “the anti-christ” whenever I say something they don’t approve of (I run Amiga.org btw)…
Going all political and stuff, I am truly starting to wonder whether the term might actually apply, because I can’t help but seem to irritate friends when they start talking about John McCain and his new Jesus Freak Barbie doll, Palin…
Am I the only one left in America who’s thoroughly disgusted by this woman and her “sending troops to Iraq is a task from God” bullshit mentality? We’ve already had 8 years of Bush using God to defend his actions when illegally invading a sovereign nation, but now Bush Jr (McCain) wants — as his second in command — a woman who’s even worse than Bush…? Yet McCain wants to pretend he’s “not anything like Bush”….? What the holy bleeping bleep man…!
Talking about it with my best friend today, I realized just how much she — and her Jesus Freakyness — really, really pisses me off. I’m afraid I might have even embarrassed myself in the restaurant at lunch, God forbid I embarrassed my friend…
I’m ok if people need to believe in God. I believe that God exists, I just have zero belief in any organized, man-made religion. I also strongly believe in the separation of Church and State and we’ve seen what damage mixing the two causes over the last 8 years. I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes;
Religion, like masturbation, should be done in private.
Anyway. Regardless of who you vote for, Democrat, Republican, whatever. I don’t care. All I’m asking is that you just think about it before you vote. I’d vote for “none of the above” before I would vote for anyone who so strongly pushes their belief that everything they do — right or wrong — is somehow certified by God Almighty.
If you can’t display the ten commandments in a courtroom, then you MUST remove God from the White House. It’s only fair. Something about a goose and gander getting it on or somesuch.
Sincerely spoken,
Wayne

I have to say, I definitely agree with you on a lot of those points. I try not to be political, and I try to avoid getting into political discussions because they are so intense and heated, and insane.
I’m a Democrat, but I will say that I do not want either candidates in office. I agree with you about Palin’s religous BS, and I think the reason she was chosen was because of a ploy to look better for the masses. A woman as VP is just as good as a black man as President. I have no problems with either. I’m actually for both… but I’m not for what they use as platforms or their actions or the political propaganda.
And I don’t like McCain either.
Okay, *slow, steady breathing* Time to calm down.
Happy voting!

NO!, You’re not alone on that one.
This combining God and warfare is such a distortion of Christian principles.
He was the Prince of Peace, not the Lord of War.
Frankly NEITHER candidate is the anti-Christ, but if you want to quote chapter and verse, look at Rev. 13:3 about a massive head wound (McCain), and Rev. 13:13 fire from the sky (warhead missiles) then John McCain and his pro-war stance is MUCH closer to the description of the Anti-Christ than Obama ever will be.

So, how's all that "hope and change" working out for everyone? You got what you voted for America and you have no one but yourselves to blame.

The world's going to hell in a handbasket. We all know that and whether or not you choose to admit it, the choice of president wouldn't have made any difference — except in who you choose to blame.
The rant to which you replied however, was more about Palin than the choice of President, but I'm guessing you're so upset today over something that it wouldn't have mattered.
That being said, I still think Obama is a better choice today than McCain would have been.

Fair enough Wayne. I was fine with Palin as a candidate, VP or (possibly) President, until she suddenly decided that she didn't want to be governor anymore. If she quits a job like that before she even finishes her first term (and as far as I can tell, there was no emergency) then I have no use for her. She ran for the job, easily won it, seems to have done a decent job while in office and then quits?! Her political future is over (to me).
As for Obama vs McCain, I absolutely disagree that Obama was the better candidate but the debate is moot now as we are stuck with him for another three years. So I will re-iterate, how is that "hope and change" working out?
