did a search and am still clueless as to the context behind the Archbishop of Canterbury remark - please enlighten me.

Back in 2007, Popeye (whom I haven't seen on here in ages) started a thread about how Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, said that the U.S. had lost the moral high ground after 9/11 by invading Iraq. (Popyeye linked to a Yahoo! News piece that has since vanished, but you can get the gist of the archbishop's comments at Christiani Today.)

Rob posted one of his typically deep analyses, reproduced here in its entirety: "The guy prays to an invisible friend, and I'm supposed to take what he says seriously?" Against that backdrop, I find it a bit entertaining that Rob's now vying with the queen to be defender of the faith.

Volunteer work is all nice and rewarding and shit but it doesnt pay the rent, put gas in the car and feed the kids. Now, which argument is stuffed full of bullshit?


I love how everyone trying to defend her completely ignores the request for a legit source, or court case.


If she was that desperate to feed the kids, why did she have a conflict of interest? SHE could have kept her mouth shut, and kept her job. But SHE brought up her lifestyle, and was conflicted on signing the handbook. IOW She lied on her application, and decided she couldn't play by the SA's rules. Again, if she was just an innocent bisexual, why hasn't she filed a discrimination lawsuit? If she had a good chance of winning anywhere, it would be in Vermont.

Until we see a LEGIT source for this story, I will continue to call it bullshit.

I didnt defend her in any way with that post. You said that someone should do volunteer work and I said that's all fucking fine and dandy but it doesnt pay the rent, etc.

Try some damn reading comprehension.

Attacks on Christianity are attacks on Christianity, regardless of what side they come from... What part of that don't you understand?

The part I don't understand is how someone who's plainly on the record for attacking the Archbishop of Canterbury--and by extension the rest of us praying folk--for a key part of our religion is now getting on his high horse about "attacks on Christianity." I can't decide if that's hypocrisy, gall, cluelessness--or, most likely, some combination of the three.


So now asking who gives a fuck what a guy who worships an invisible friend thinks is now an attack? You should grow some thicker skin there if you're offended so easily. So far the only clueless comment I see here is coming from you.

I was wondering that very same thing about you and the "christians" you are defending.

I thought that was Jeholy Witnesses (misspelling intentional to reflect what my old neighbor called them)

This will probably not happen because they've been trained in Tuba tactics.

Why do you feel you need to remind anyone of how you think they should believe? Are you Jesus Christ? Why don't you stop trying to push your values upon others?

After all your side constantly bitches about religious influence on the government, why should YOUR influence be worthy of consideration?

Why don't you just skip them and read the next post, or the next thread?

Or hide users who post these.
