Hey Rocky, why is when so-called Christians haul out the Sodom and Gomorrah story they conveniently end it before Lott's daughters on two consecutive nights get him drunk and basically rape him--their own father!--so that they might bear his children?
So God abhors homosexuality but appears all peachy-keen on incest.
Nice god you got there.
Again hate and race baiting from the left.
hahahahahahhaha! I had a really, really good laugh, and now I realize that LibertyAintFree is a comedian. Posting this letter immediately after the letter entitled "Racist Liberals" is simply too funny to be accidental. Kudos, LAF. Hey, your initials are even a tipoff!
Yes, the Republicans would love to tear down the 1st Amendment and turn the US into a theocracy... the better to control people and keep them ignorant, which is the only way Republicans get any support anyway.
Again hate and race baiting from the left. My comments were that people of all walks of life embrace fiscal conservatism . It is the left that will use race,religion ,intolerance,and intimidation rather than address an issue straight up. It was the Republican dissertion of fiscal responsibilty that costs them the past few elections. It is not being anti-gay,pro religion, or intolerant haters. That is a poor defense for corrupt out of control larger government the left works for. I confront this intentional attempt to confuse Americans by they left by stating things they know are not true again and again to avoid a true view of the facts. Cowards that attack Miss California for her personal views but never,never even say a word about the fact Barack Obama publicly shares her views. Confront the young,immature who lacks the resources to defend herself. The left runs away from somebody who might be better able to defend a position. Where's Perez Hilton calling Obama a dumb bitch? Where's any journalist daring to get Obama to comment on this gay marriage question now? The radical left seems to hide thier true identities under a differint type of white hood. Facism is still facism, and lies and deceptions and intimidation deserve to be called out for what they are.
I have been grading freshman and sophomore essays for two weeks now. I did not need to see Alan Keyes's letter.
I will let those with more energy talk about the absurd, delusional content. All I will say is that Dr. King could punctuate, and Mr. Keyes does not understand how to coordinate independent clauses, how to handle introductory adverbials, or how to employ direct style. He can bewail the killing of innocent fetuses, but will no one think of the poor, innocent language he's murdering?
And the cream of the jest is is that if Keyes had come along at the same time as MLK, you can bet your last dollar he would be one of those who decried King as un-American and essentially Godless for speaking out against society's "natural order." :P
"America could be considered God's chosen people from 1776 to 1948."
Yep, because mistreatment of Native Americans and African-Americans (among others) is just the kind of behavior God encourages in His chosen ones. :)
The hubris of the self-comparison to Martin Luther King Jr is stunning.
It's like Paris Hilton publishing her Blackberry calendar and calling herself Anne Frank.

You are correct when you say I am bitter about religion, largely because of people like you. People who try and outlaw everything their religion doesn't like. People who claim to believe in less government until they just plain don't like something then they try and pass a constitutional amendment banning it. People who try and lecture others about morality and then turn around and support torture and cutting programs for the poor and starting wars under dubious means. It's the hypocracy that makes me bitter.
(retroactive sarcasm alert)
Yeah, Mr. Keyes, you have the right of free speech and free assembly. You and your crew have the right to wheel baby carriages containing bloody dolls to protest abortion, to protest Notre Dame's invitation to Barack Obama, or to protest Notre Dame's serving pancakes in their dormitory dining halls.
However, you do NOT have the right to do this on private property without the permission of the property owner.
Notre Dame is a private school, which means it sits on private property, which means they can allow/disallow any damn protests they choose. You were perfectly within your rights to conduct your protest on any publically-owned sidewalk in South Bend adjacent to Notre Dame's campus, and if you'd been arrested for doing THAT, you'd have a point about government oppression.
But...unless you're willing to legally open up your church's Sunday services to protests by the Rainbow Alliance, going onto Notre Dame's PRIVATELY OWNED campus to get arrested, then playing the martyr ain't going to work.
(Oh, and by the way, I'm pro-life.)
Funny that the Vatican his already praised Obama more than they ever did his predecessor, despite the fact that his predecessor was -- at least supposedly -- "pro-life".
When will the media finally stop giving this idiot publicity?
Your decision to label your post "racist liberals" while in fact this subject and your post have nothing to do with race or racism just goes to prove how unhinged you are. Why not call us Nazi communist baby eaters while you're at it? It would make you look about as intelligent as calling us "racist liberals" does.
You display such ignorance not only of biblical scholarship but also of history that I can see there is no point in trying to discuss anything at all with you. You revel in your ignorance like a pig rolling in mud and I doubt anything will be able to imbue you with any kind of common sense or intelligence.
Get a clue, idiot. The rebuttals to your nonfactual assertions are too painfully obvious to even bother, but I will mention for one thing that 76.5% of Americans identify themselves as Christian. So unless your definition of "Christian" has changed to "Republican" then I'm afraid you are too stupid to breathe. I shant bother correcting the rest of your stupidities. I don't have the energy to deal with idiots.
