BLASPHEMER!!! Just kidding. Right on the target. I find it humorous how awful people still act in the name of Christ. I suppose if they were really followers of Christ's teachings, then there would be a lot less massive Church buildings with basketball gyms on every street corner, and a whole lot less starving children in the world. Think what that money could do if it was focused in the right areas. Instead they just throw it back into themselves. Funny stuff. If you read the gospels, Jesus taught selflessness, but I don't see too many Christians being any less selfish than anyone else, and at time more so. Can you really be called a "Christian" if you don't even follow the teachings of Christ? Just a thought.
Also tiptup, ever hear "give to Caesar what is Caesar's"? Stop complaining about paying taxes. It isn't stealing, they have the right. If you live in America you live a very comfortable and secure life. That might not be as common of a situation as you believe it is. You've no right to complain, and the government has a right to piss on that money as much as they like, being as it belongs to them and all. Also the things you said about what if the government started a program to pillage and rape, that is so retarded. I am sure if that happened ADM would happily agree with you that they would be wrong. Don't come up with over the top analogies, it makes you sound like a freak. If you want to give a good name to the conservatives think about things before you say them.
