Yeah...I'm sure secular/humanists NEVER watch that stuff...I guess the remote sorta freezes up if they try.

Glenn Beck operates a radio show, and his audience is mainly Right wing Christians. You know, the type of Christians that you might not think are Christians.

I wonder what Murdoch's moral orientation is?

I've never seen any of those folks myself...

I'm not sure.

So what's your plan on "weeding out" those you don't approve of?

The power of persuasion through reasonable dialog, and harsh criticism of uncritical positions/ world views.

This type of fundimentalism is dangerous to the entier plannet. I think it needs to be combated for the good of humanity.

Every child is born an ignoramus. Education fails in varying degrees. We see the results.

...yes we do

So....How has your methods stopped Beck and the "Christians that you might not think are Christians", (whatever that is)?

As far as "planet ruining":ya think the entire US gov. and armed forces are cryto-facist Christians now? No Jews or atheists or agnostics in control?

I saw the insanity in 92 with that bloke Robinson and Co., but are you saying "church people" call the shots there today?

Can you show me some facts?

Since I am apolitical, I have no data on this massive conspiracy.

What it means is that they do a piss poor job of actually following the teachings of Jesus, which is why I thought you may not think of them as "true Christians".

I didn't say I am able to stop Beck, nor did I say I am trying to stop Beck. It is the attitude (not Beck) that is the problem. It won't happen over night. Even though the vast majority of people in the US believe that racism is wrong, it still exists. It will be a long road, and I will do what I can.

There is no need to insert phrases that I have not said. It is well known that Christianity dominates the American landscape. Naturally this spills over to politics, big business, and everything else.

Since you see a faux Christianity dominating America, being "dangerous to the entier plannet", and claim that Beck and Co. are their their mouthpieces (no stats that these are his primary listeners?) and that you are determined to combat this Beck-like attitude by the " power of persuasion through reasonable dialog, and harsh criticism"...How do you do that in real life and how many converts can you claim? How do you gauge your success?

I use all means availible to me. To date, I have 134 converts. If my calculations are correct, I have 0.00023 % success ratio. Success is success.

Seriously, I don't actively seek converts. I don't ask anybody to change their mind. I just speak my mind. If they agree, great. If they disagree, great.

I feel the same way: and yet are not these same radicals just "speaking their minds"? I guess we are back to the American concept of free speech again.

But I would appreciate some evidence that these right wing media pundits "audience is mainly Right wing Christians." How do you know?

How do you know that you exist? That's how I know, I used to be a right wing Christian.
