Dunphy, "A New Religion For A New Age"

More than a dispenser of information, the teacher will be a conveyor of values...We will be agents of change."
-Catherine Barrett , former NEA president

“The entire federal government — the Congress, the executive, the courts — is united behind a right-wing agenda for which George W. Bush believes he now has a mandate. That agenda includes the power of the state to force pregnant women to surrender control over their own lives. It includes using the taxing power to transfer wealth from working people to the rich. It includes giving corporations a free hand to eviscerate the environment and control the regulatory agencies meant to hold them accountable. And it includes secrecy on a scale you cannot imagine. Above all, it means judges with a political agenda appointed for life. If you like the Supreme Court that put George W. Bush in the White House, you will swoon over what’s coming. And if you like God in government, get ready for the Rapture....”

A moderate Moslem is one who sends others blow themselves up.

I could have commented on every single statement in the above post. But one can only take so much.

As I read, it made me ill to think that any of these people are really from this planet. Is there really that much difference between our realities?

God said that the end times would be like the times of Noah. We can't be that far off.
