POS Alert: N. Idaho

Post by kalm »

The amount of stupid here is :rofl: 57% of Republicans favor making Christianity the official religion of the U.S., but yeah…the christian right has no influence over the party. :roll:

JSO, when Texas and Louisiana secede, please take Idaho with you.
An array of religious leaders, many of them from Nevada, are calling for Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll, R-Cottonwood, to apologize for her comments this week that Hinduism “is a false faith with false gods.” Nuxoll made the comments to the news media after she, along with two other senators, boycotted a Hindu prayer that opened a morning session of the Idaho Senate. Today, she stood by her remarks and refused to apologize, though she said she didn’t mean to say Hinduism was “false religion,” just that it’s based on “false gods.”

Nuxoll said. “I felt I had to abstain, because I’m not going to be praying to false gods. I’m a believer like Mother Teresa that everybody should be the best they can.” She said she encourages Rajan Zed, the Hindu cleric who gave the Idaho Senate invocation, to “be the best Hindu that he can for his faith and beliefs,” and said, “He can say a prayer anywhere he wants in the Capitol,” but said, “I’m in a floor session bound to follow the Constitution. … It is a Christian nation based on Christian principles. To start out our day, we usually say a Christian prayer. I would’ve been fine if we had also had a Christian prayer.” Nuxoll said she believes the Constitution is “based on Judeo-Christian principles.”

“Prayer isn’t a show,” she said. “Prayer is a relationship with God – that’s what prayer is. So how can I join in a prayer where it’s a false god?”

If prayer is not a show then why the fuck do you insist on doing one publicly every morning?

Flip this 180°...a Hindu refusing to participate in a Christian prayer...

...and the chorus of haters would be castigating Christians for being insensitive and forcing religion on others.

A chaplain who once ministered to Navy SEALs could be thrown out of the military after he was accused of failing “to show tolerance and respect” in private counseling sessions in regards to issues pertaining to faith, marriage and sexuality, specifically homosexuality and pre-marital sex, according to documents obtained exclusively by Fox News.

This begs the question... are we over using the "POS" moniker?

Maybe DAS is more fitting?

Way to go Iowa. :thumb:
An Iowa woman will make history next month by being the first Wiccan in the nation to give the opening invocation at a state legislature.

Although Christian pastors and priests normally give the invocation, Deborah Maynard of the People’s Church Unitarian Universalist told KCRG that Democratic state Rep. Liz Bennett asked her to open the Iowan House of Representatives with a Wiccan prayer on April 9.

So let me get this straight: You guys are making a big deal out of a Christian choosing not to participate in a Hindu prayer?
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

CDA is a great city. Haven't been to Sandpoint in years but it wasn't too scary back in the day. I would live in CDA instead of Spokane without hesitation.
