You Christians worship an angry, jealous, contradictory, cruel, impotent, and petty God; in every way a blind idiot. He changes the rules on you, ignores your prayers, gives you nothing but fear as motivation, and you think that this nation is somehow guided by your God, is the very Hand of God, that this is a "Christian" nation, always has been and always will be, but it's OK, because Christians are right, right?
None of this would matter but for the fact that you Christians are in charge, set course for this nation and make decisions for all of us, decisions guided and framed by your superstitious non-sense. The overwhelming majority of those in charge of this country are Christian. Even those that aren't are still religious. America is largely a country run by superstitious, ignorant believers in a non-corporeal, non-communicative, undetectable, unscientific but supposedly omnipresent, omniscient being that listens, responds, loves, and cares for you (except when you need him most, which is most of the time). Childish. Worthless. Yet the intellectual foundation upon which the "deciders" of our nation make decisions.
You Christians who "tolerate" this Trijicon thing, who call it "no big deal", and gripe about the PC lefty fags making mountains out of mole hills aren't being honest. You think it's more than OK, you think it's the way things should be.
You are the same ones who say "they attacked us", or "we only protect ourselves" and let this war happen, want this war to happen, want to prove your righteousness to all of us non-believers and say "see, I told you so" and "God had a plan! The Muslims didn't get us!".
Our response as a nation has been neither reasonable, sensible, nor proportional because of YOU. We swing blind and yell. We punish, like the god our leaders worship, and await our reward, the favor of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven or some other such hooey.
Don't tell me this doesn't matter. It has everything to do with this nation and its calamities. Jesus is just a pimp, an enabler, and you've pimped all us non-believers out to him. You worship and adore this literary character, base your lives on a crap novel, spread your idiocy all over society, shove it in my face, and tell me it's good for me.
In the early days of the Iraq war, daily intelligence briefings from the Pentagon were published with cover sheets that juxtaposed war photos with Bible quotations
Text[ex)I find it highly entertaining how so many liberals always talk about how these things give terrorists ammo and motivation to recruit and attack us

Why imagine? It's been clearly said time and time again that the Islamic world is waging a Jihad against the evil west. How many times haven't I heard some Imam somewhere on Arabic TV say exactly that?
Deny ignorance people.

Its pointless trying to carry on a dialog with you. You won't answer any questions. You make assertions and then when its pointed out that what you said didn't happen, you won't address it or even admit it. You won't fact check your own assertions. All you do is shout 'ignorance ignorance ignorance' the whole time. All the while refusing to have an open dialog. You keep saying the intentions that others have, and you don't stop telling other people what their intentions are even when they explain to you that their opinions and intentions aren't what you say they are. You speak like a moderate, but belittle others and spin what others say like an extremist. People like you are exactly whats wrong with politics in America right now. You won't answer questions, and all you do is lob insults and accusations. Utterly absurd trying to speak to someone that behaves like you.

Those are idiots Imams, you could also find bush saying it's a holy war and Rumsfeld. All 3 are the same except bush and rumsfeld are more politically correct.
Stop being paranoid

You guys keep hitting yourselves with a baton and then claim i'm the one holding the stick.
If the chief and commander of the united states and his statements mean nothing then the statements said by imams are worth even less.
WAKE UP!

Some of you are taking this whole issue a little too personally, I think.
99% of these soldiers with said scopes will probably see the passage on them, think about it for about 3 seconds, and then it will never cross their minds again.

Outstanding you have finally isolated the things that plague your debates.
When you take a good look in the mirror and understand that you in fact just described yourself you will be half way there toward learning to frame effective debates that lead to substantial dialouge.
The reality is here are the results of the war on terror to date after nearly 10 years of fighting it with failed strategies...
1. A bankrupt treasury 11 Trillion Dollars overdrawn!
(Wow that ought to teach the Terrorists)
2. Far more Islamic Radicals born of indiscriminate poorly thought out violence and strategy aimed at Islamic Attrition instead of Law Enforcement against the actual criminal minded radicals.
3. Some people actually celebrating that more expensive military equipment to further bankrupt our treasury and enrich the Military Industrial Complex has Bible Verses inscribed in them.
4. Thousands of Americans needlessly dead, millions of Afghanis and Iraqis dead and their homes and communities destroyed.
The reality is that the strategy does not work, it actually produces the opposite result and is bankrupting us morally and monetarilly and is designed to promote extremism on all sides, not moderates.
Once again if you want to learn to upgrade the quality of your life you must first learn to upgrade the quality of your questions.
That includes not only learning how to frame questions but intelligent questions that actually address real issues as opposed to just the divide and conquer issues you want to put people into neat little camps you feel they belong in, so you can avoid asking let alone answering the important and hard questions like...
Why is our treasury bankrupt.
Why are there more so called 'terrorists' now than when we started the war on terror.
Why don't the people in Afghanistan or Iraq consider the regimes we installed legitimate
Why are so many of the people in those country's dying when they never attacked us but 17 saudis are alleged too.
How could we win World War II in less than 5 years, but not be able to return security to these countries and prevail in 10?
Those would be some intelligent questions, ones that if you asked them and got honest answers for them would in fact keep you from having to ask redundant questions.
Thanks.
