Maybe if a fundamentalist becomes the GOP candidate then Donald Trump may well choose to stand against that someone and split the vote? I am no fan of his but find US politics quite fascinating.

We do have one. His name is Bernie Sanders. Wait for the first debate and you'll see what I'm talking about. He'll give Hillary a run for her money and very possibly beat her and win the presidency. He's been incredibly consistent through many years...

I really doubt that Sanders will win the Primaries. The fact that he's a Socialist is likely going to scare a lot of people off, especially if they're right-leaning liberals who tend to vote for Centrists. Plus, the country has literally never had a far-left liberal President before, and many people are misinformed enough to think that all far-leftists are Marxists/Communists. Many people simply don't know what Socialism is.

I really wish that Sanders did stand a chance (I'd personally love to have him as President, and I think he'd do great things for our country), but I'm almost certain that Hillary will win the Primaries.

At this point, I'd vote for Hillary before anyone on the conservative side if only for the Supreme Court. However, the debates will explain where he is coming from and his style will educate people IMHO. I understand he's still a long shot, but he's drawing the largest crowds out there. No one is having that kind of attendance.

Someone should tell these fundies that gay marriage isn't actually banned in the bible: this was invente by the vatican to increase control over peoples' lives.


Genesis 19:1 - 11, Leviticus 18:22, and Leviticus 20:13 all clearly contradict your claim above. See: http://christianity.about.com/od/Bible- ... uality.htm for a comprehensive list. 'Gay marriage' isn't condemned precisely because if you had ever tried to raise the subject with anyone back then they would have thought you were a raving lunatic (or possessed by a demon, which was the ancient equivalent).

From Judges 19:16-24; NLT, New Living Translation Bible:

Quote:
"You are welcome to stay with me," the old man said. "I will give you anything you might need. But whatever you do, don't spend the night in the square." So he took them home with him and fed the donkeys. After they washed their feet, they ate and drank together. While they were enjoying themselves, a crowd of troublemakers from the town surrounded the house. They began beating at the door and shouting to the old man, "Bring out the man who is staying with you so we can have sex with him." The old man stepped outside to talk to them. "No, my brothers, don't do such an evil thing. For this man is a guest in my house, and such a thing would be shameful. Here, take my virgin daughter and this man's concubine. I will bring them out to you, and you can abuse them and do whatever you like. But don't do such a shameful thing to this man." (NLT)


Alan Watts

has an idea,

in the Video above;

every Easter, to celebrate

FREEDOM WITH GOD; BY BURNING THE BIBLE.

IT COULD save on all forms of sexual abuse against women;

against 'nut jobs' who take the bible literally; otherwise known as Fundie Christians.

How anyone can say that the bible from 'head to toe' is the literal word of GOD is beyond human common sense;

And shows just how far humans will walk as sheep; when the punishment for not believing in this crap is social outcasting..:)

Anyway; overall, women are gaining traction in ruling the world now;
and that's a good thing, with their roll in the hay models like
'Channing Tatum'; where women are now gaining
the concubines, if only on the big screen
of sweaty reproductively FIT MALES..:)

God is alive in the eyes of male strippers;
and women are looking all around the
globe, with howls and screams
of estrogen creamed
delight..:)

Some of us, sit back, watch,
and chuckle away;
like a Squirrel
with
a 'cracked
nut'..;)

And others of US,
enjoy A role
as MALE
ENTERTAINERS,
WITH skEYES OF GOD..:)

Marilyn Monroe
and Elvis Presley,
in a way, are 'our'
parents; paving a
way for TRUE INDEPENDENCE
AND FREEDOM IN THE USA;
A DREAM OF 239 YEARS
AGO; THIS SATURDAY,
finAlly coming true,
as all humans;
not just the
majority;
GAINING
TRUE INDEPENDENCE
AND FREEDOM; FINaLLY
HUMAN CAN BE TOTaLLY FREE!
AT LEAST FOR ME THAT IS TRUE!
And in A way Homosexuals are the last
TRUE STRAW OF HUMAN FREEDOMS IN THE U.S.;
WITH A HISTORY OF FIGHTING for freedoms to go
in many
other
imprisoned
countries for human freedoms,
still, as subjugation and fear rule;
away from eyes of ALL NATURAL GOD..:)
