I am so saddened to hear the anger and vitriol spouted at my state on this site. I fully support the constitutional belief that all Americans are free to express their beliefs, as you do hereon this site. I count among my dearest friends people from all walks of life. South Carolina is no different than any other place on earth. We welcome all types of people. We do not have to agree on every issue to get along. What is the harm in expressing your belief, whatever it may be.

Took your advice, vas, and did so. Brian, great link. What an interesting site! But I was even more amused by LeHaye.

If anyone skipped over the link provided by Brain Westley, (see above post by Brain) go back and click on it. Interesting reading indeed. This is from a quality source, I’ve been following this guy’s work for some time now, man he a relentless son of a bitch, a bulldog for his cause. Just go click the link and read it, it’s well worth your time.

Stephen Corbert is from South Carolina, so it can’t be all bad. Of course, he left…

What gets me is that they never get that just like they don’t want to support those other religions, anyone non-Christian doesn’t want to support theirs. Seem to think they should be made to, regardless. Has this guy read the Constitution?

Vas, 2 things about SC:

The state has recently been dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 19th century and

Here in Charleston, the natives are a lot like the Chinese; they eat a lot of rice and worship their ancestors.

We were just about to get out when my husband ended up out of work for 2 years and now we’re still filling in the hole that left us.

This is an attack on Christianity in the same way that the Civil Rights Movement was an attack on white people.

I’d like to call attention to the phrase, often used as a descriptive–”Christian.” Plowearmarked by doofus guvner when he said “But what I told them is that it is very Christian”

These people understand religious labels as moral labels. They don’t get it. They don’t understand the complexity of the issue. They like simpleton slogans. They like people like Ray Comfort to tell them their wishes do concur.

Judith,
I believe you that it is dangerous. It so outrages me when I hear stuff like this. I have been to SC and my business partner’s family is from there, SC is just a spooky and hateful place in my experience. I’m always shocked by the things some people from there say. I know not everyone from SC is backwards but can’t help but think, from personal experience, that SC is more than a bit more backwards than other places around this country. It sounds as if you are implying that an atheist has reason to fear for their safety if they dare to be too public about their lack of belief, what a sorry state of affairs, what an outrage, what an affront to common decency, it is so sad.

Bauer:

I could say that this is yet another example of judicial activism, of federal judges out of control. My instincts tell me that it’s even deeper than that. I think it’s another attack on Christianity and I’m not going to sit by and watch this one happen.

Perhaps before he goes any further he should stop to read Deuteronomy 17:12…

The man who shows contempt for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering there to the LORD your God must be put to death.

Fortunately for Mr. Bauer, I don’t believe in that stuff, and most of his followers don’t bother actually reading their bibles. But, it does show he’s a hypocrite.
