CNN said:
U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris told a religious journal that separation of church and state is "a lie" and God and the nation's founding fathers did not intend the country be "a nation of secular laws."

The Republican candidate for U.S. Senate also said that if Christians are not elected, politicians will "legislate sin," including abortion and gay marriage.


"If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," Harris said.

apparently there's more than a few voices that believe the US should be a christian state ..I wonder how many of them think the constitution should be replaced with Biblical law


btw the title should read: Congresswoman: voting for non christian politicians will lead to legislating sin ...but that was way too long of a title

hehe no kidding:


"Bush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."

- George H Bush, former president of the US, director of the CIA and ambassador to the UN
 
Well the american govermnet is all christian anyway (the swear on bible in court, the "in god we trust" on the money etc etc) so yah, all candidates will be christian to.
 
Wait...I thought they stopped doing that with the "place hand on the bible" thing?
 
These people are the same people that say being gay is prohibited in the bible yet they can make a bunch of exceptions to "tho shall not kill". What part of this do they not understand:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

A lot of people fall for the bullshit that since the founding father mentioned God they wanted God in our politics. This is ignoring the very basis of reasonable thought. They believed in God, sure, but they wanted God kept out of our government as the above, taken out of the consitution, clearly states. Anyone saying what she said is by definition commiting treason. I can not belive they call themselves the patriotic party.
 
Voting for a woman is non-Christian too.

So what the hell are you doing in Congress bitch? Fix me some dinner.

But "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" probably does.

Since Christianity is following the teachings of Christ, killing people, regardless of the circumstances, SURELY breaks Jesus' teachings? How are you expressing your love for your fellow man by invading their countries, killing tens of thousands, raping and torturing?

Or is that teaching also exempt from war?

that'll answers your questions
also heres the verse in the bible where homosexuality is condemned
"if a man also lie with mankind as he lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination, they shall be put to death, their blood shall be upon them." leviticus 20:13

First off, link doesn't work. And thank you for proving my point, you guys can find a million exceptions to thou shalt not kill.

Second, you are really going to try to defend the bible, I love this game.

101 contradictions in the bible:

http://www.islamway.com/english/images/library/contradictions.htm

Stone anyone that has a different religion than you:

Deuteronomy 13:6-11 "If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, `Let us go and serve other gods,' which neither you nor your fathers have known, some of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other, you shall not yield to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him; but you shall kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and never again do any such wickedness as this among you.

This is my favorite, stone your child if he does not obey you. You know, I know a crap load of christians that have the worst of kids, whats going on here?
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 "If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they chastise him, will not give heed to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, `This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.' Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

This is the book millions of people have dictate their life? :|
 
These sort of people should get aumatic deportation from the US.
 
no limit you dont understand im not a christian im an atheist i dont like how these christian polititians say voting for someone else is a sin. you'll get no argument from me on contradictions in the bible since i've found many myself.
sorry about the link just look up "bible war" on google its the first site it links too.
 
That link says that the bible contradicts itself:

"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. (NIV, Matthew 5:38-45)

The old testament says one thing the new another. I don't get religion.
 
This senator should be kicked out of office immediatley.

The direction this country is taking towards religious fundamentalism is extremely frightening to me.

I think I'll move to sweden.
 
The funny thing is that if she had said "Voting for non-white politicians is a sin" the uproar would be so enourmous she wouldn't be able to show her face in public again. It sucks that people claiming religious superiority don't fried like people who claim racial superiority do.
 
can you at least see what im saying though. "thou shall not murder" is what it says not kill since "kill" can apply to anything lets say brushing your teeth, your killing the bacteria in your teeth arent you. look up just war theory thats a kind of war the bible accepts
 
The tenets of Christianity are sound?

How can this be possible if they are based on the Bible, which is a total mess?

Thou Shalt not kill

ill People Who Don't Listen to Priests Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

Kill Witches
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)

Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

Kill Fortunetellers
A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)

Death for Hitting Dad
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)

Death for Cursing Parents
1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)
2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)

Death for Adultery
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)

Death for Fornication
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)

Death to Followers of Other Religions
Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)

Kill Nonbelievers
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)

Kill False Prophets
If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through. (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)

Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God
Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night
But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
 
Wait, wait Solaris.

You're taking the Bible way too literally! You can't take the bad parts literally, only the good parts are meant to be interpreted as literal of course! Silly man.

'Stone her to death' means to get her stoned on marihuana and 'death' means 'happy joyful moment of awesomeness'.

The good parts of the Bible are of course all literal.

Except crazy myths like Noah's Ark and Eden. They're also non-literal, because saying "it's a matter of interpretation" is a whole lot easier than admitting the Bible is batshit insane and God is a lying tyrant.
 
I imagine the USA launching nukes whit "in the name of god" to every no-christian country and them saying to them "god bless you!"
 
If you vote for her you deserve a kick in the face. What a cunt.
 
How the hell did such a fruit loop get into congress in the first place?
