How Can Americans Have Resp... from leftagenda.wordpress.com
We’re all told that we should respect each others religions, our beliefs, our faiths, or our lack of them.  Well, not here at Left Agenda.  We certainly believe that everyone has the right to be Christianschildish, and Christianssimple, and Christiansfoolish (depending on your beliefs or lack of, that may mean different things) but, respecting those [...]

We're all told that we should respect each others religions, our beliefs, our faiths, or our lack of them.  Well, not here at Left Agenda.  We certainly believe that everyone has the right to be Christianschildish, and Christianssimple, and Christiansfoolish (depending on your beliefs or lack of, that may mean different things) but, respecting those beliefs?  Come on? As most will agree that the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist, and most 'Christians' don't actually believe the world was built in six days, or that the universe is only 6000 years old, do we really have to deal with this issue in public debate?  And if we're still debating things like that, how can we ever hope that real debate will take place on actual issues and not fairy tale issues? Republican mayoral candidate Anna Falling said Tuesday that putting a Christian creationism display in the Tulsa Zoo is No. 1 in importance among city issues that include violent crime, budget woes and bumpy streets. “It’s first,” she said to calls of “hallelujah” at a rally outside the zoo. “If we can’t come to the foundation of faith in this community, those other answers will never come. We need to first of all recognize the fact that God needs to be honored in this city.” I swear this could have been an Onion article.  If we weren't in America, and I wasn't use to the unusually strong religious beliefs of some Americans, I'd think this was all a joke.  Just like they see fundamental religion in most other industrialized nations, Now, we've documented stupid people on Left Agenda many times here, here, and here.  But I think, "Republican mayoral candidate Anna Fallin," is going straight up to the top.  Right next to Sarah Palin.
