I was torn as to whether or not to post this in politics, but since it included the term 'registry', I thought maybe I'd put it here. Admin/Mods, if it needs to be put someplace else, please feel free to move it.

This is just insanity. Not surprising it comes from Florida. They must have cornered the market on crazy people. If Fark.com has a tag labeled 'Florida', that says a lot...
Mental illness. Nothing more will come of this.
Well, unless Rick Perry or Bachmann or one of the others are elected...or chosen by the supremes after FL gets done with the election...
I think Jesus would even bitchslap this "pastor".
I suppose he hangs out with the Rev. Terry Jones, you know the Quran burner with a hair trigger.
I wonder if he has a list of agnostics so that he can try to convert them and add them to his flock of loons?
woah, I'm glad that our brand of crazy is not the worst in the country.

I remember a comedian saying "there aught to be a sign as you enter Florida that says 'Welcome to Florida. Sh*t rolls downhill.'"
Wait, this person certainly is a liberal. Think about it. They want the government to act to produce a specific social agenda. Right? I mean, they coulnd't be a little government, tea party type person. A regestry of this sort would be an infringement on american rugged individualism and rights. Unless their ideology is just compleately inconsistant.....wait....

Remember, those batsmile crazy politicians think it's socialism unless it involves religion (specifically the one with the Baby Jesus), abortion, the 2nd amendment...you get the picture.
Since Steve Martin was in town last week.... Atheists do at least now have a hymn.

That guy doesn't even have a congregation. He's a pastor without a flock.
I ordered furniture for one of those pastors a couple years ago. We set up his account and I noted that the delivery address was an apartment in a nearby seedy neighborhood. When I asked about how difficult it must be to minister to such a difficult decaying neighborhood he spoke disdainfully of them.
"I wouldn't pastor in that area. I have to step over drunks, avoid prostitutes and ignore panhandlers every morning I step out of my apartment. My church is on the internet."
We need a registry of these pastors.

Might be able to be called "The Registry of Hypocrites" with a response like that.

Well obviously God was speaking through him.

Do you want to overthrow our government?
While this guy is an idiot and cannot comprehend the Bible, let's keep the Christian bashing to a minimum, kay? Don't assume all Christians think like this deranged man.

That's it, punch a clown. Figgers....Nobody is
majority bashing.... Besides, I don't like the fundamentalist right and I have a right to talk back and to talk down their idiocy. This video is about the politics of the fundies. The malarkey Michele Bachman spews is reminiscent of The Exorcist grown up.
It was not directed at you personally, and no, I don't like fundamentalists either. (any fundamentalist)

And let's not all assume that Atheists are giving sacrifice to Lucifer, like many Christians assume. I'm not saying all do, but many Christians, for all their profession of love of man and all, sure do hate Atheists. Where I come from that's called hypocritical.

As is it where I come from. I have no problem with atheists. I don't agree with it, and I know you don't agree with my views. That's fine.

That's not true, we love you atheists! Send me $20 and I'll pray for your soul and send you a packet of Kool Aid in return.

Sorry, fresh out of $20's, which is convenient, since I'm fresh out of souls as well :D. Do I at least get the kool aid?

Actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. C? Others?
I'll show up if I can come up with the money. What time?

Per their FB, 5. I'll be there soon after. Carlton Place will be there as well.
Sorry for the thread drift.
Back on topic, I think anyone who has any belief should have tolerance of anyone else with a belief/non-belief. I'm kind of a kettle on this one sometimes. I have little tolerance for some so I need to work on that.
