Christians Can Be Nutcases, Too

Presbyterians, in this case, which is surprising, because they are typically vanilla Protestants with nary an axe to grind.

Seems they're publishing a book on how 9-11 was an inside job, and how Christians should be concerned as a result.

I never thought that such middle of the road, vanilla people could fold and wear their own tinfoil hats...

Don't they know that tin foil hats will only amplify the mind control rays?

Bah, My mother is a presbytarian, nothing made christ seem alien to me more than the presbytarian church. The pastor took time out of each of his sermons to slam a different religion:(

made me bloody uncomfortable

Weird. It doesn't surprise me that Christians can be nutcases, because that's pretty obvious. But it does surprise me that Presbyterians would take things this far. The Presbys I've met have sometimes been a little odd, but nothing that extreme. Usually they're pretty cool.

It seems weird to me too.... Judging from the church I went to it would seem more likely to me that they would come up with a conspiracy pointing the finger at atheists, pagans, wiccans, and the ACLU than the U.S. gov't

Is presbytarian evangelical? the church my mom goes to is, maybe its different from the main denom....

What? That my Church decided to publish a weird book that has other parts of the Church angry and complaining...

That sounds like a normal Sunday at service to me. :p

This was clearly only the view of one Presbyterian. I am sure that most do not subscribe to his theories about 9-11. It is ridiculous to associate a publisher with everything they publish, and then associate that publisher with an entire religious group.

Doesn't the Unitarian church believe in all religions or something like that?

Sure would be easy if we could just blend all the world's religions into one super religion!

With Buddha's belly, Jesus' beard and facial hair, combined with Vishnu's multiple arms, we could have the coolest God/idol/prophet ever!!

Hmm, Chrisitians are nutjobs? *Gasp* Boy, never knew that one.

Seriously, the only sane people are the Jews.

And that's only because they have to fight aliens all the time.

How amazing!
To think that a person who believes in a giant invisible guy who floats around doing stuff without anyone knowing could also be a little crazy.
