I saw the show, and what I saw was Hitchens as fed up as I am with the obstinate BDS of the opposition. He just can’t play the game any more. And good on him!

Terrye — I’m sorry for what I said, that was a rude stupid thing for me to say. You’re actually quite articulate, it is just that much of what you say seems designed to inflame and anger liberals like myself, rather than give us something to try to argue with. Perhaps I am in somewhat similar, in the reverse.

“none of the lefties seem to be worried about either Clinton or Carter’s religion.”

That is because neither Clinton or Carter tried to give the force of law to the moral teachings of their faith. With the exception being values growing out of the Social Gospel, i.e. “the working man shall not be crucified on a cross of gold.” And most secular liberals usually agree with the Social Gospel.

On the other hand, the reason secular liberals hate Bush’s religious views is that he explicitly rejects the social gospel, while trying as hard as possible to implement the religious values in other spheres of government, stem cell research being the most obvious example.

Roger — I’m not a Christian, but my understanding is that most Christian theology argues that men are INCAPABLE of following the Ten Commandments. Hence, the need for atonement through Christ. Hence, many people, Republican and Democrat, who frequently solicit bj’s, yet pray quite devoutedly. Clinton, by all accounts, is in this catagory, as are a whole bunch of Catholic priests.

You stepped in it at the wrong time, with the wrong people and with the wrong argument. Talk about glass houses and/or stones. I bet you also believe that GWB is equivalent to Madasahatter. Come on, fess up. You do don’t ya.

Terrye, no pun intended, I’m sure Yes, I am a sick individual, at times.

Can’t you just see Bill promising God that he will never ever ever ever get a blow job from an intern again if He will just let it slide this one time.

Who knows, maybe someday markus will need to have his temperature taken and someone like me will be there, insisting on doing it the old fashioned way. Far more accurate doncha know.

“On the contrary, both Clinton(s) by all accounts, are quite religious.”

If you consider self-worship to be a religion, yes.I fail to see either Bill or Hillary believe in anything larger than their own ambitions.
