Wearing shoes is political.
True. Republicans tend to favor wingtips. Progressives tend to favor birkenstocks.

please post a pic of a US president in birkenstocks.
Same answer.Is Judaism political? :lol::2razz:
Same answer.
We've never had a progressive president. Surely you realize this.
Spandex is also political. You can't wear it and get elected.
2008....Certainly, Christianity is a litmus test for the presidency. When was the last time we elected (or even remotely considered) a non-Christian?
Faggotry is an abomination in any religion, (or without one)......You may not want to think of Christianity as political, but let me ask you...
Why are most anti-abortion voters Catholic and/or Evangelical?
Why did religious congregations mobilize their membership against gay marriage and/or fund attack ads making all sorts of ridiculous claims about gays?
In my opinion, the best thing we could do is revoke the tax exempt status for all religious organizations and let them freely embrace the fact that they are money-making entertainment-providing political action committees.
You are not taking into account all of the good things churches do to ease human suffering, ie. homeless shelters, food banks, etc......
That should tug at any Lib's heartstrings, why do they so easily overlook that aspect?......
I find it amusing that lefties have such a hatred for religion, (other than what is preached in the Goran).....
The 'evil' of Christianity has run it's course, so you can stop complaining now....:mrgreen:
I'm NOT a religious person, btw.....
Although fear & loathing for Islam is still OK, if that avatar were Muhammad holding an AK 47, you might have to go into hiding for fear of retributuion....
Since I do not believe that you refer to the antisemitic conspiracy theory, what is ZOG?BUT WHAT ABOUT ZOG? Sure. Now you'll pretend that there is no such thing as ZOG.

I asked you to support your own assertions using the parameters you yourself shifted earlier. That you push it back on me doesn't surprise me.
Who was Teddy Roosevelt? (Pssssst: He wore shoes, not birks.)
Uh-ah.Zionist Occupational Government. I was being sarcastic. Sorry, should have used the universally recognized /sarcasm symbol.
Uh-ah. :smoking:???
whuthuh?
Uh-ah. :smoking:
Although, I will point out that the poll indicates that there are as many people who agree with me as disagree with me.
Do I really need to point out the obvious that this was posted as a poll? :lol:
The Earth used to be flat.
It only became round when enough people began believing so.

Like how Mount Everest became the tallest mountain only after it was discovered?
Of course. But it's the 21st century. Most everything is political. Even feeding the hungry.
"Christianity" in theory should not be political. However, what has happened is that the radical right wing has politicized the term "Christian" to advance their far-right wing agenda.
As a result, there are many of us who are Christian who are now embarassed to be associated with them.
I am Christian...but not "Christian".
When people today ask me what religion I am I tell that that I believe in Christ and strive to live a Christ-like life...which today is about as far away from "Christian as there is.
Let me be clear...
I think religion is inherently political. Just go to the average church business meeting and you'll see what I mean...factions, politicking, lobbying.
Real faith, however, isn't political. It's deeply personal.
When I talk about Christianity, I am referring to the religious hierarchy and the religion itself, not the faith. Two separate things. That may help people to understand where I'm coming from.
Why don't you, at this point, pretend that you've won*, because I'm particularly tired of engaging pointless rebuttals like this. Yay. You've won the internetz. Go you.
*The pointless posturing and vapidity of your arguments has worn me down, and I've stopped caring.
Although, I will point out that the poll indicates that there are as many people who agree with me as disagree with me. Considering the conservative nature of this forum, I find that interesting.
This topic came up in another thread, but I figured it was more appropriate to move it here.
Is Christianity - All of Christianity, not just any political movement within it - a political movement?
