Horus gday, I must be getting old, well I am actualy.
The word mate is my best freind as I forget names all the time.
Now I may have said that, please point out the thread to me have pity on an old bloke.
But I am full of hope for him, you highlight my view exactly he can be a great change for America.
I in a thread here took his side strongly against Clinton.
I will admit in days long gone I referred to Rudd as krudd, but that was long before I got on his wagon.
I was on board before my party and held in contempt for it by some of his closest supporters today for it.
So no hard feelings but I remember a bet I had the federal Labor will increase its majority next time.
Wish I could be as sure of the Melb cup winner.
Show me the thread I need to know why I said it.
Obama? go you good thing!
The reality of 8 years of bush outweighs even the worst fears red neck America has about you.

Polycarp,

"I don't believe he [Obama] is in any way Muslim."

And if he were, would it make a scrap of difference? Apparently Colin Powell doesn't think so. Why would it matter?

"Anyone can be and often is a 'tool of satan' to the extent that they actively oppose the message of Christ."

Another of your innumerable phoney dualisms? To oppose Christianity doesn't make you a 'tool of satan' (whatever that means). Are you seriously claiming that all people who believe in another religion or who follow rational modes of thought are evil?

He's even WORSE than Damien Omen or.....*gasp* A MUSLIM...

He's black!.

I'm waiting for the headline that he's a African Allah worshipping witch doctor.....who eats babies.

And then I was watching TV as a southern fruitloop stated that Barack took his oath in the senate on the 'Koran'. Thank god I live in Oz (or was that Austria?).
how can these people claim to be the 'Leaders of the Free World'

Surfing the evangelical websites is a strange experience. Some scream "Obama is the anti-Christ!", but the really disturbing ones are where people take it as given, and calmly discuss how he'll climb to power in the service of Satan and how they're preparing themselves for "the end of days".

It's going to be a great disappointment to current teenage fans of Tim LaHay when there's no anti-Christ, no second coming, and they're dying regular, ignoble deaths in 2100.

If being a 'tool of satan' is bringing evil to this good earth Christianity with its intolerance, Crusades, Inquisition, Wars of the Reformation, conversion by force and the Holocaust promoted by years of Christian hatred is a tool of Satan.

Archbishop Jensen has used the phrase 'tool of satan' to apply to all non-Christian religions. When the message of Christ promotes intolerance and hatred people of good will must oppose it.

Satan is no more real than the tooth fairy or Santa.
