		<description>First of all, I was raised Catholic and attended Catholic schools, and I would not characterize myself an agnostic. I believe in God. I also know that God and organized religion are not the same thing.  

Look at the Catholic Church today. They&#039;re  covering up for sickos who have harmed children. Did you know that many of the offending priests were relocated to Mexico? 

And the Mormons look the other way when it comes to polygamy. You have some guy with five wives who are all dressed like Laura Ingalls. That&#039;s nuts. 
 
And no, I don&#039;t believe that you get together on Sunday to figure out how to make life hell for people. But I think that church leaders do. Then they give their flock marching orders, such as when the Catholic Church asked the Moromon church to tell its members to fund Proposition 8. 

I think gay people were born that way, and I do not believe that God favors the oppression of any human being.   

And it&#039;s funny how you criticize Reverend Wright. He criticized America&#039;s moral superiority, and that&#039;s why he was lambasted. He does not support the oppression of any human being, unlike the pastor who gave the invocation at the inauguration.</description>

		<description>Ok, I get it now, your Agnostic/Athiest?  

But i&#039;ll answer you questions.  
No, we live in a Democracy that allows all people of faith, Christians, Muslims etc to express thier view...whether you believe it or not, this country wasn&#039;t founded on Muslim, Agnostic or any other faith/beliefs...it was founded on the Judeo-Christian belief.  Thats why &quot;murder&quot; is against the law.

I have friends who are Gay Anna, and we agree to disagree on their lifestyle, but they, like you, can&#039;t argue with the siimple fact that the Bible, although &quot;printed&quot; by men, is &quot;the word of God&quot;.  Anybody who calls themselves &quot;Christian&quot; will acknowledge and lay all thier beliefs in this book called the Bible (the word of God).

Yes, the old testamnet describes all that you have mentioned...in the Old Testament their was no covenant with God beyond blood sacrifices from animals to forgive sins...the New Testament has nothing but love and caring beliefs through the death of Christ (by which we are all saved)...I respect you political views, but it sound like you know nothing of the Bible, probably because you haven&#039;t read it and or understand the Old and New Testament...when you do, then you&#039;ll know why us Christians, have to throw our wieght against Gay Marriage and Abortion.  The word of God (our beliefs) won&#039;t allow it.
The fact that you state churches &quot;spread hate and bigotry&quot; is even more alarming!

I now ask you, do you really belive we Christians get togetherr on Sunday to figure out a way to make life for liberals/Agnostics etc like you, hell.  NO!  Churches, atleast those not run by Pastors like Rev Wright, are peaceful loving churches who sometimes, becuase of our beliefs must counter what we see is wrong with society ie Gay Marriage, and Abortion.  And that usually happens via our vote.  Can you say that about the Gay community in California who have resolved to take thier issue to the next level of violence?</description>

		<description>We don&#039;t live in a theocracy, so what the Bible says about gay people should have no bearing on our laws. We believe that all men are created equal.

Do you really believe that because somebody (nobody really knows who) wrote in a book thousands of years ago that gays are damned that God really believes that too? Come on. I can&#039;t believe you think gay people are on the same level as murderers. That&#039;s truly scary. 

Doesn&#039;t the Bible also have slaves in it? And polygamy? It that OK, too? 

The churches today are spreading hate and bigotry. It&#039;s sad and a total  perversion of Christianity.</description>

		<description>Anna, 

I said, &quot;at what point do you stop believing in your faith/religion&quot;...I added religion in my text because some people can&#039;t differentiate the two like you.  That said, you know very little of what the Bible says if you seriuosly believe that God is an agreements with or likes Gay-ness...also, you almost assume that &quot;Religion...founded by men&quot; made these rules up, well you&#039;re wrong...Religion founded in the Belief of God and Jesus Christ and hence seeing The Bible as true text from God will tell you that Gay-ness goes I against God. It says so in the Bible, a book which by the way has been around much longer then this country.

I know you&#039;d like to believe God loves eveybody, and he does, but they (we) need to live/adhere-to/live-by his rules and commandments...in the Bible Gay-ness, much like murder and sleeping with anothers wife/husband, is wrong.</description>

		<description>Dfdeportation’s verbiage is a product of that whole AM radio political/hate environment inspired by Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, and Ann Coulter.  He just repeats what he hears on the radio and attempts to converse with everyone here, waving the American flag and pointing downward towards the political left without any comprehension of what that actually means.  You know the type…most of them have been in power for the last eight years in D.C.  He is what he is, you can’t enlighten him, so don&#039;t engage with him.</description>

		<description>Re: &quot;Anna and Michael’s Far-left Stalinist &quot;

I&#039;ve never heard of that website until now. This moron thinks there is only one &quot;Anna&quot; on the internet. 

Webmaster: When are you going to ban this lying idiot? As I said before, he ruins every thread, and he probably keeps your traffic low. High quality blogs don&#039;t let trolls take over.</description>

		<description>And Joseph Stalin didn’t espouse any political ideology that segregated itself from Marxist-Leninism, other than to embrace a more totalitarian form of leadership during his reign.  As usual dfdeportation, you are blowing hot air out of the side of your mouth.</description>

		<description>I don’t associate myself with the claims and statements on this site www.mexica-movement.org  So much of this is mythology, and wide open to multiple interpretations.</description>

		<description>dfdeportation, I would bet that Anna and Michael are not members of the Mexica movement. They probably would not participate in this blog if they were. 

That site that you point to is based in Huntington Park, which is probably more known for being a local drug (cocaine) hub than for being a hotbed of political activism.</description>
