Those are both the opinions of two people I've never heard of in my life. I mean people building shrines in his honor, putting him on a cross, or seeing his face in a pancake or tortilla.

The Jamestown followers never built shrines to Jim Jones or saw his face in their food, they just blindly followed him never seriously taking into consideration what the true fruit of this highly charismatic leader might be.

Getting back to your attempt at censorship: Yeshua_Lives has every right to expressing his opinion about people putting their faith in what is just a fallible man (Obama). That opinion is completely consistent with the content of this thread and should never be censored just because its religious conotation happens to make you uncomfortable.

I like the sound of those policies. I'm not following a movement just to follow a movement.

I voted Kinky for Texas governor. Go look up Kinky Friedman. (I think that was his last name)
Good for you.

by the way, you go look up Kinky Friedman.
