Warren you got it right on!!
Especially in the case of the Bachmanns!!
Heaven forbid that Mrs. Bachmann ever gets to be president of the U.S.!!
 
Not only would it put an Inquisition like administration in charge of the United States domestic and foreign policy but it woul  cause other extremist groups that are driven by the perversions of their faiths to unleash a hatred of Christians all over the world, and may be the catalyst for the Anti-Christ, Beast
and  World Government that will persecute all who do not support it!!!
 
I know that many in this group etc., don't believe that kind of stuff but many true believers do and they also believe in the separation of church and state as Jesus himself proclaimed:
      "Render unto Caesar (the government) the things that are of Caesar (i.e. taxes) and unto God the things that are God's."
(The words in parentheses are my and any theologian's explanation)
 
God Bless you!!
Butch
 
P.S.  (Separation of Churc and State was brought into being because of the English Civil War which was the Anglican
(but Anglo-catholic (kept some of the Roman catholic practices etc.)
King Charles 1st versus the Puritans (strict Anglicans who wished to have no remenat of catholic practice in the Anglican church (Church of England which is the same as the episcopal Church in the U.S.)
Upon the U.S. declaration of Independence it adopted the idea of separation of church and state.)

We must separate out religion itself from the actions of people in the name of religion. That means any religion - judaism, christianity, muslim, eastern religions, etc. In their purest teachings they espouse love, compassion, caring, charity and humanity. They all believe in using faith in a higher authority as the driving force but it is always a driver for these same overarching values. It is people who claim to be high priests of these religions albeit not always the clergy (extremists in good times - but moderates when times are very tough: whatever those priests are called) who have perverted these religions in the name of a variety of intolerant and abusive causes who have been the cause of most of the wars and human strife in the world. They have also perverted the platform of religious beliefs to oppress, ethnic cleanse, destroy human dignity, force their opinions and to torture - often to demand that their interpretation of religious doctrine be the definitive one - i.e. my way or the highway. There is plenty of guilt to go around on most of the major historic religions on this account.

Of course, people are most vulnerable to these dark and destructive messages when they themselves are undergoing economic or social strife - i.e. pre-war Germany. Throughout civilized history, it has often been human nature to avoid realistic reason and prolonged hardship when simplistic thinking and "blame" answers - especially when they come from purported religious leaders or visionaries - are being offered loudly.

The tragedy is that these pretenders become tyrants for their perverted self-serving causes:  Hitler, Radovan Karivic, The Taliban, The Catholic Church at many times in their history, Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin, the list is endless. But it also includes Oral Roberts, Marcus Bachmann and David Duke and all those who would try to cure homosexuality. 

My friends, we must be vigiliant against intolerance in this world and we must come down hard on anyone who would espouse intolerance in the name of religion BECAUSE NO RELIGION TEACHES INTOLERANCE, HATRED AND THE DENIAL OF HUMAN DIGNITY. And no one can or should force you to live their beliefs. No One.

Butch,
I keep my mouth (or keyboard) closed most of the time to comments here but I totally disagree with your statement about "religious" people. Ask the Catholics complicit in the killing of hundreds of thousands of Jews and homosexuals during WWII. Consider the depth of depravity of the Inquisition. Consider the damning influence of the Taliban as they insist that everyone lives and believes as they do, just like the American Taliban - the Westboro Baptist Church our of Topeka, Kansas. Consider the rabid religious right who condemn the decency of a compassionate government. "Bad" people? I believe they have been so brainwashed that they believe what they are doing is right. Welcome to pre-war Germany.

Sorry, if people do bad things whether they "claim" to be religious (which mweans going through the motions of belief mainly as many who claims to be Christians commit adultery or other sins for example) or not
they are "bad" people.
  
it is not religion that causes people to do bad things.
 
It is often a contortion of the religion, as in the case with the taliban for example, that may cause "good" people to do bad things, but in any true believer's heart no matter what religion they claim to believe in, they will not physically or menatally hurt anyone
 
I do see why and where you may be getting this from.
There are many hypocrites in many faiths.

Take Action:
  • Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck's radio show and his quest spots on Fox News. Glenn Beck is anti-gay rights. Update: Boycott Successful: Update 4/7/2011: Beck has been fired by FOX NEWS! Radio stations dropping Beck as well in several locations. Now, tell FOX to stop having Beck as a Guest.
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
  • Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • Remember David Kato, Gay activist - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay!
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Again, Dump NBC because they air/re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! Now the Donald Claims the Long Form Birth certificate is a fraud. And NBC keeps this guy?

Oral Roberts Grandson, Randy Roberts Potts, Talks Coming Out Gay
By On Top Magazine Staff - July 19, 2011

Randy Roberts Potts, the grandson of televangelist Oral Roberts, is talking for the first time about coming out gay.

In a 30-minute sermon delivered Sunday at Tulsa's All Souls Unitarian Church, Potts talked about his experience as a gay man in an evangelical world.

He told parishioners that a closeted life led his uncle Ronnie to commit suicide, and that he nearly followed in his footsteps.

"I feel the burden of my uncle's death each and every day," Potts said. "I know I can't fix it, but I almost relived his life in every way: marrying young, having children, becoming a teacher, becoming suicidal. All because I was never told his story, because his story as a gay man has been hushed up. This system of mendacity, of bluffing, of pretending, of trying to pray the gay away has already left one casualty in my family and almost caused another."

In an interview with the Tulsa World, Potts said he grew up in the Roberts family compound just north of Oral Roberts University. He was close to his grandmother, Evelyn Roberts, but rarely saw his famous grandfather.

While he knew from an early age that he was attracted to men - and at 18 announced he was bisexual - it wasn't until several years into his marriage to a college girlfriend that he announced he was gay.

"I told my wife a few years later that I had to leave, and we were divorced legally in June of 2006," Potts said. "I have been openly gay ever since."

Potts was ostracized for his decision. He was denied a seat in the family's seating section at his grandparent's funerals.

Roberta Potts, Randy Roberts Potts' mother, told the paper that she and her husband are "no homophobic."

"We have no ill feelings toward homosexual persons," she said.

"But that doesn't mean we approve of his conduct," she added. "We do believe what the Bible says."
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
