Flooding the Middle East with Bibles, Pat & Jerry's ultimate solution

To me, it is problematic that Christian evangelical organizations from the United States are now flooding Bibles into Iraq when, prior to March 2003, few knew the location of the country, and fewer still could point out Iraq on a map. In fact, many cheered on the March 2003 invasion.

Pat Robertson was openly hostile toward Iraq. He accused the U.S. administration of being soft on Iraq. Yet, his group had thousands of Bibles to take to the country once the U.S. destroyed it.

Jerry Falwell, another U.S. icon to the evangelical citizenry of the U.S. was in on the venture as well. In 2002, he said that, according to his interpretation of Christianity, Mohammed was a terrorist. Therefore, kicking the merde out of a country populated by a Muslim majority was necessary in the fight against terrorism.

In July 2002, I interviewed George Galloway, the peace activist who recently won a seat in the British Parliament. He told me how religious groups in England and Europe were paramount in the peace effort. Then, I told him how many U.S. religious organizations were calling for war and he was quite surprised. We talked for a while on the difference between U.S. evangelical Christianity and the Christianity practiced in Europe.

1. They wanted to get rid of all those 'Stacks Of Bibles' before...
Edited on Mon May-23-05 06:23 AM by Hubert Flottz
the last election, because they were afraid somebody would ask Bush to swear on a stack of them Bibles, that he wouldn't steal our Social Security or draft our kids!

Edit}LMFAO at your latest film!

2. *sputter* *koff*...levitating St. Pickles! Sweeet!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That said, I hope Pat and Jerry are as complacent about Bible abuse as they've been about Koran abuse.

Wouldn't want the fundies appearing hypocritical about something like that...it'd be bad for their image.

:sarcasm:

4. Oh, Yes, because the bible has really improved Pat &Jerry
They are just the most loving, non-judgemental, forgiving, Christ-like humans ever!

Oh, wait! Maybe they are like Santorum and they never actually READ the bible. And if they send the Only Version with God's Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval ( the King James version) none of the Muslims will be able read it either!

Everyone can bang the cover of it with their fists and beat people over the head with their copy without ever having to crack a page!

5. It's so simple-minded to think that Muslims aren't aware of what is in the
bible. As though exposure to the magical tome will make everything better.
