"The Year of the Bible" by Old Fart Rants

Pennsylvania lawmakers just unanimously approved a resolution declaring 2012 the "Year of the Bible" in their state. They say we need to study and apply the teachings of the Holy Scriptures because they've inspired the concepts of our government as contained in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. They say the history of the United States clearly illustrates the value of applying the teachings of the Bible to society. But there are a lot more " teachings " in the Bible they may not be aware of, probably because they never bothered to read the whole thing. Now this resolution wasn't a left / right or Republican / Democrat deal -- it was passed unanimously. Nobody voted against it. So, if you live in Pennsylvania, you might want to call your state representative and ask them why they think a book full of adultery, misogyny, slavery, sodomy, pedophilia, bestiality, ritual cannibalism, necrophilia, murder, suicide, animal and human sacrifice, war, mass genocide, incest, unspeakable violence, and all sorts of unthinkable atrocities is a good moral guide for your state for the next year. Ask them how many of these barbaric practices were included in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution by our Founding Fathers. If they seem shocked that all this stuff is in the Bible, ask them how the hell they can recommend a book they've never even read! Any politician who touts their religious views as a qualification for elected office should be immediately disqualified from running. And any elected official who violates the Constitutional separation of church and state should be thrown out of office! This ain't the Bronze Age folks -- it's friggin' 2012 for Christ's sake -- pardon the pun! This isn't friggin' Afghanistan - this is the United States of America! Allowing this sick, twisted, insane and ridiculous "holier than thou" crap to influence our government has to stop. Enough is enough!

Hello old fart!

im doing great how are you?

[oldfartrants]

@Danovio Pretty good... Pretty good.

@craqqer - If Jesus of Nazareth was alive today, he would be dismissed (by the religious right in America) as being a socialist, a communist, a pinko, a tree hugger, anti-American, and various other insults. Jesus would stand for all the things that the Republicans despise.

He would probably be electrocuted to death, after a show trial.  And for years after, Christians would wear little electric chair pendants around their necks!

USA, USA, USA! (Where's my sick bucket!)

@HumbleHeartMinistry Hey douchebag - why haven't you answered my questions? This is my channel you know - it's pretty rude for you to post here and ignore me.

[qqqwzz]

this has to be the best of all time statement for separation of church/state!,our forefathers would be so proud of you!,and yes!what i want even more than corporations out of government is to get religion out of government,i only woke up to the mess of religion in politics starting in year 2000, people in mainstream southeast churches have been hearing 2hr sermons about how women are to dress for the last 200 years,then the radio/tv as works of the devil,etc.,lol,

[kamphwagon1]

@illinoislibertarian Yeah he could have but he did, thats like saying if your grandmother had balls she would be your grandfather.. Those straw buys and individuals who deal in guns without a licence is one of those loop holes... Waco Tx, what are you a McVeigh nut ,a domestic terrorest of sorts eh .. Acting if some religous physcopath nut case had the moral high ground on emassing a store of wheapons ?..

[kamphwagon1]

@illinoislibertarian First you knowege of political ideology scucks ,look up Mousolinas definition of facism... How would you know if they failed they never were alowed to close the loop holes the NRA and halfwits like yourself think are so dam important.. Untill you morons start policeing yourselves, don't bitch about how the goverment does it...

[illinoislibertarian]

@kamphwagon1 He could have gotten it from a Mexican gang

Why dont you ask all those armed gang bangers in Chiacago where I lived where they got THEIR guns from. Gangs, arms dealers cartels ETC. They dont obey the law. The gun control laws are there to control law abiding citizens only.

the ATF has a pretty good program with fully auto wheapons

Yes, I saw how that worked out in Waco Tx along with millions of my other fellow countrymen who make up the majority of this country.

@kamphwagon1 Fascism is when government rules over every aspect of your life. Those elitists are in power because our constitution has been ripped up and our liberty has been sacrificed for political correctnes and in its place we have environmentalism we have big government we have regulated, in fact every aspect of our lives is somehow under the thumb of the state. the federal goverment wants insure that only law abiding folks have guns

But always accomplishthe opposite. COMMUNISM FAIL

[kamphwagon1]

@illinoislibertarian What a ill informed Paul bot cretin you must be.."He could have gotten it from a Mexican gang''LMFAO ..Giffords is a ''she " halfwit with all the publicty hmm do you live under a rock or maybe retarded by chance, unable to comprehend what you read.. I'l tell you the ATF has a pretty good program with fully auto wheapons that if applyed to all guns would work pretty good excepting the auto wheapon tax of $200..

[kamphwagon1]

@illinoislibertarian And what good are those small libertys gona do for you when the facist corporate elite are running over you ass eh, you inept Paul bots never look at the otherside of the coin of how much more freedom these assholes are going to gain to fuck you over willy nilly.. Feel better, everytime the federal goverment wants insure that only law abiding folks have guns you halfwits want your loop holes left alone that criminals exploit ...

[illinoislibertarian]

@kamphwagon1 what does one expect from Paul libertaran bots except regression

Regresion? Restoring our liberty is regressive?

like the Chinaman in the movie Gremlins who told Hoyt Axton that he "couldn't sell mugwoia because it required much resposibility" the same can be said of guns...

The same can be said of any right but who gets to make the call? woudlnt you feel better knowing that the majority carrying guns were law abiding citizens.?

[illinoislibertarian]

@kamphwagon1 Az has the laxest gun laws in the US ,but didn't do a dam thing to stop the idiot who shot Giffords

And striping every citizen everywhere iof that right wouldnt either.

He could have also gotten it from mexican gangs in Tucson. I remember reading about a shooting a year ago where this nut was banned from owning a gun but got one anyway.

[illinoislibertarian]

@oldfartrants Democrats hate the Constitution? Really? Like the terrorists hate our freedom?

Yes. Obama even ratified ACTA which is worse than sopaand pipa and that international governments can also shut down any website they want.

Somebody needs to put words in your mouth because what comes out of it is always so stupid!

Defending the constitution is stupid?
