I am surprised and sickened to see that Murray's new book is actually taken seriously, since it's author is a pseudo-scientific racist out of the 19th century. I'd like you to give us a post on Murray's reentry into the public, since it seems to validate a lot of what you've been saying.Werner Herzog's Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918845193415571702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-7135853335220253302012-02-23T08:00:21.458-06:002012-02-23T08:00:21.458-06:00His problem is that in his view God is white.

My mother was raised catholic and always used to tell this joke about a man walking in heaven every day next to a huge wall. The man eventually asked St. Peter why the wall was there. Peter replied that all the catholics are on the other side of that wall, so that they can go on thinking they're the only people in heaven.<br /><br />At any rate, this further buttresses the point of race baiting. I know what it is like to be a very religious person. Deep down, Santorum is feeling guilty about not condemning other christians who are not catholic which would be his duty as a good Catholic. Clearly 'dog whistle' politics at play.<br /><br />Moreover, the catholic church has always been the most undemocratic institution on the face of the earth. Santorum is not a man to be trusted as a leader in this country.Adam GHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-12553989867629131582012-02-22T12:58:20.201-06:002012-02-22T12:58:20.201-06:00@Comrade.

I ask myself the same question.

The Bible tells you that Jesus is your salvation from eternal damnation, but the Bible is the only source of the threat of damnation and the need for salvation in the first place. The Bible tells you that you're a sinner and worthy of Hell, and then sells you the forgiveness that gets you out of it. It's like if I slice your arm open with a razor and then sell you bandages and pain pills. <br /><br />In the case of African Americans, it is even more perverse. Christianity sells suffering of slavery and then poverty as both the natural and preferred state of living... blessed are the meek and the poor and so forth. At the same time, it sold the rich white folks the moral justification for keeping poor black people in chains, along with all poor people and women. I can see why rich white men are Christians, since it works out so very well for them. I just don't see what anyone else goes along with the scam.Improbable Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00388199130147075176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-20726702040959823092012-02-22T09:27:51.379-06:002012-02-22T09:27:51.379-06:00I know a brother didn't reference "Black ...I know a brother didn't reference "Black No More", which has got to be one of the funniest satires of all time.
