		<description>So obviously David Barton must worship this &quot;Supply-Side Jesus&quot; I&#039;ve heard about??

Let&#039;s see...Democrats? Though especially in the South they have a checkered past, Historically the party of the common man. Democrats supported racial minorities have(Especially Blacks) and religious minorities (Catholics &amp; Jews)Unions (pretty much across the board) and are responsible for most of the social safety net that we have in the USA, Period.

Republicans? Originally a party that supported equality, freedom and smaller government that stayed out of people&#039;s business. Always had some Big Business interests but back in the day, who didn&#039;t...have been progressively corrupted by uncontrolled greed and Fundamentalist religion to the point where they work towards almost the total opposite principles from what they started with.

Republicans: Originally the Party of Abraham Lincoln, but now people in it(David Barton for example) glorify the Confederacy as having been more &quot;Christian!&quot;

Well let me tell ya, the Battle Hymn of The Republic...a song loaded with apocalyptic theological statements if there ever was one...was NOT composed in the CONFEDERATE States of America.

More to the point...&quot;Can&#039;t get prayers through??&quot; What the Fuck?? I thought that Christian Tradition for centuries had stated that God was Everywhere, Saw Everything, and had Power over Everything. 

Principalities?? Able to &quot;block&quot; God&#039;s power? What fucking rubbish. Either God is GOD, or he&#039;s Not. Get a grip, people.

What I was taught...back in the very political 80&#039;s...was that God hears the prayers of niether Democrats, nor Republicans.

God hears the prayers of people who really believe in Him regardless of how they vote in MAN&#039;s political world, which God has no place in because it&#039;s basically evil and it always will be.</description>

		<description>Undifferentiated potentiality (Spirit)has no attributes or personality whatsoever. It has no adversary and is not at war with itself. Dualism doesn&#039;t make sense. God isn&#039;t bipolar, David.

Re-read 1 Corinthians 13. There may just be a little truth there. (It doesn&#039;t mention political parties at all.)</description>

		<description>God probably can&#039;t hear the prayers from that side of Congress because he doesn&#039;t have a good 4G cellphone. God just isn&#039;t great with the whole technology thing.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve had conservative family members who were firmly in a similar camp. Under the umbrella of &lt;em&gt;spiritual warfare&lt;/em&gt;, it was considered dangerous for kids to participate in Halloween, for example. That&#039;s because the evil spirits who inhabited the pagan predecessors of Halloween, turbo-charged by centuries of tradition, could now travel a wormhole into children&#039;s hearts if they dressed up and collected candy from their neighbors.</description>

		<description>Is this the same Kenneth Copeland who owns a private airport 40 miles from where I live complete with a jet hangar (I have seen a private jet parked on the tarmac on several occasions) and who has tried to argue that his income was &quot;God&#039;s money&quot; so he should not have to pay taxes on it?</description>
