<<<Guess what, this stuff is not discussed in my Church, other than to help shelters for unwed mothers. The rest is straight up political, which I thank God and my pastor, is pointedly left out of sermons. >>> I wonder though if churches have a greater responsibility. They must know there are quite a few people leaving church each Sunday and practise hate the rest of the week. Are they playing Pontius Pilot. They must know their church members listen to RW talk radio while driving to and from church. They must know that these talk show people feel strongly about killing terrorists. They paint a vivid portrait of radical terrorists who are filled with hatred and dedicated to killing "us" and our family. These talk show hosts are like very successful football coaches giving pep talk to their team about going out and fighting and killing enemy terrorists. They instill in them hatred. Forget about nuance. Forget about who is guilty. Just remember it is them against us. It is your patriotic duty to hate them. It is the right thing to do. It is patriotic. You are protecting yourself, family, and friends. It is okay to load up on guns and ammo. It is your constitutional right to protect yourself family, and friends. You can't trust government to do what you have to do yourself. Talk show fear mongers don't have to do much more than paint with a broad brush. They can let their converts fill in the details. The 19 terrorists were all muslim. They were all Arabs. Muslims and Arabs live in America. They have infiltrated our society. Muslims and Arabs are a minority in America. Many minority members in America are here illegally. Illegal aliens in America commit a lot of crime in America. They take advantage of our welfare and health care system. They are pouring into tis country to take advantage of us. It goes on and on 24/7 on RW talk radio all across America. Bottom line. Are the churches turning a blind eye to what is going on? are they playing Pontius Pilot?
