The little rotating light on my bullshit meter is whirling around right now. Maybe it's just broken.

She agrees with "Pretty much all of the ten commandments"?

Guess she hasn't read them recently, like most christians. I don't see how you can be an atheist and agree with more than 6 as unconditional principles to live by, more likely 4.

Never heard of her before. I suspect that the accomodationist stance vis a vis religion, is a necessary part of being a right-winger in the US

She "agrees with pretty much all of the Ten Commandments"? Including these ones?

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.


Or does she think 60% qualifies as "pretty much all"?

She doesn't cook a lamb in its mother's milk though. Gotta give her that one.

What you need to do is to find a sheep, it's easier when you get one of those. The milk is hidden underneath it.

I'm willing to bet her "20 year project" eventually ends up with Christ at exactly the same time her "I'm a conservative atheist!" gravy train stops running.

I expect she would have stopped pretending to be an atheist by now, I guess that's one helluva gravy train!

Ed Brayton makes some good points about this video. Actually, they're pretty well the same points I made. 8-)

And you know what? I would never vote for an atheist president. Ever… Because I do not think that someone who represents 5 to 10 percent of the population should be representing and thinking that everyone else in the world is crazy, but me…

Which president actually represents more than a few percent of the population? Presidents are exceptional people (or at least they should be). To expect the US President to be an 'average joe' or representative of a significant percentage of the population is asinine. And if they think the rest of the population is crazy that's certainly not as bad as thinking most of the country deserves to burn in hell.

I like that there is a check, OK? That there‘s a person in the office that doesn’t think he’s bigger than the state… I like religion being a check and knowing that my president goes home every night addressing someone above him and not thinking all the power resides right here… Atheists don’t have that.

This is rather ironic considering the right-wing argument against a Catholic president has been precisely the concern that such a president would be answering to someone above him, namely the Pope.

I looooove religious conservatives. Just love 'em. They think Joe blow the common man should be in office, yet they only ever elect rich oil barons. I wonder why that is?

And you know what? I would never vote for an atheist president. Ever… Because I do not think that someone who represents 5 to 10 percent of the population should be representing and thinking that everyone else in the world is crazy, but me…


Don't worry, any atheist president (or any real atheist for that matter) worth his salt could see you're crazy too.

Mwah Mwah Mwah! I see she's still doing what she does best; kissing Christian ass. I remember the first time I saw her on Youtube. Sean Hannity had such a chubby I thought he was going to spooge all over her face as she was stroking his Christian ego.

All over her Cupp.
The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.
