Happy 4th July
Quote: ZenKinGpray that they may kill many more human beings in other countries that have done them no harm.
Man, I thought that only God could hear my prayers...
Quote: ZenKinGThe Fourth of July was not always a national celebration of the militarization of American society and of the federal government’s never-ending quest for world domination (disguised as "defending our interests abroad"). Americans did not always attend church services on the Sunday before the Fourth of July to "honor" their "military heroes" and pray that they may kill many more human beings in other countries that have done them no harm. Americans once actually read and understood the Declaration of Independence for what it was: a declaration of secession from the British empire and a roadmap for opposing a highly centralized, militaristic empire of the sort the U.S. government has become.

Why did you take my quote out of context to make it sound completely contradictory to what I originally stated to try and make me look bad? Says a lot about you.

ZK.
I think he was making the statement about himself (as a joke), not about you. Perhaps a sarcastic reply TO you, but it didn't change what you said, he's suggesting you somehow read his mind or something.

You're starting to get me BBB :)
The simple fact is, I disagree with your church premise ZK. I was trying to make a light hearted joke instead of getting into a pissing contest. I know it is pointless, which is why I always steer clear of the political thread.
