Sent before I could add these quotes from Thomas Jefferson:

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his ***, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Danbury Baptist Association, CT., Jan. 1, 1802

History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.
-Thomas Jefferson to Alexander von Humboldt, Dec. 6, 1813.

The whole history of these books (the Gospels) is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams, January 24, 1814

Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law. -Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814

In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Horatio G. Spafford, March 17, 1814

If we did a good act merely from love of *** and a belief that it is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist? ...Their virtue, then, must have had some other foundation than the love of ***.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thomas Law, June 13, 1814

***
And RELIGULOUS does a great job of taking all of the founding fathers and looking at their religious beliefs - most were agnostic or athiest. This is not created as a Christian Nation - probably the exact opposite. But freedom of religion allows all of us to worship (or not) as we choose. Which means there is nothing wrong with a Muslim running for President - and a true American would embrace that concept.
Makes me wish Obama really was a Muslim, but he is a Christian.

I don't know, I'd love to hear why I should pay for some other guy's police call, and what he thinks of Palin being found guilty, and what he thinks of Buckley endorsing Obama, and the Curveball interview where he says GWB's guys manufactured evidence of WMDs in Iraq, and all of the other things he ducks because he would rather just drop some **** and run and then name call, instead of having an actual discussion of any issue.
I am interested in a calm discussion of issues with people who have different beliefs than I have.

LOL are you kidding me? Mr. I know everything about Hollywood? Skip, you do know the BBC's Planet Earth is fake right? Its FILMMAKING. Yes, March of the Penguins is fake too, so is C.O.P.S. and everything else you have ever seen that you thought was real. Faces of Death, all of them, are fake. **** is fake, Judge Judy is fake, its all cameras and creative editing. But mostly its lying producers telling lies to get what they want and need on camera. You should know this man! This is basic production field knowledge. Writing something on page is one thing, getting all on film just as you dreamed, is something else...

boom

Now, now, Skip. You like Chip, remember? At least you're always sucking up to him. This could be the end of a beautiful friendship.

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

Oh, and when are you going to stop dodging the various questions you're currently dodging, mainly to do with senior Republicans making anti-Palin/McCain statements?

Just as well, since you have nothing in principle against such tactics.
