Luke, let’s jump over these heathans, with our BMW
While this may surprise some people in the clergy, it does not surprise me. You don’t NEED religion to have faith in a creator. As former governor, Ventura of Minnesota, said once, “Religion is a crutch.”
An overwhelming majority of South Dakotans say they believe in God, but only about half of the state’s residents say religion is very important in their lives, and a smaller portion than that attend services each week, according to a new survey examining religion.
You will also notice from the survey that states that take religion more seriously are more likely to be involved with right wing extremism, teabaggery, and general ignorance;
Mississippi, followed by several other Southern states, was tops in religious fervor, according to the survey, which asked questions about worship attendance, frequency of prayer, belief in God and religion’s importance in one’s life.
Now get out your bible, your gun, white hood and confederate flag and go pray.

After reading this letter, I don’t know whether to comb my hair or shoot myself?
Human religion denies holiness and ignores the omnipotent, personal agency of the Holy Spirit. It is a poor, pale, sickly thing born of the union of the heart of the world with the head of Christian theology – a mongrel, bastard thing with a backslidden church for its mother and the world for its father.
Uh, okay.
This was my favorite comment to the story on the Gargoyle’s website;
“Goody! Another one who wants to cast the rest of us into the fires of hell. Just in time for Christmas!”

And I know this following video is over 22 minutes long, but it is incredibly insightful about the current state of politics, and well worth the listen.

Who is this guy?
More and more people are realizing the ‘ruse’ of organized religion;
In 1990, 86 percent of Americans called themselves Christian; by 2008, 76 percent did. And in South Dakota, the demographic shift in religious identity has been especially steep: 95 percent of South Dakotans self-identified as Christians in 1990; 78 percent did in 2008.
Less people are hypocrites, I guess.
The “none” category of the survey includes atheists and agnostics, as well as people who describe themselves as non-religious, irreligious and anti-religious. It swells to 46 million people by including respondents who either don’t know what religion they are or who refused to give one.
Irreligious? Does that mean you are allergic to Holy water?
That “no religion” segment of the population is who Mike Brazeal, John Collins and others associated with Greg Laurie’s Black Hills Harvest ’09 will target when the Christian evangelist brings his crusade to Rapid City May 15-17.
“That’s a great audience for us to attract, as many of them have been turned off by church and have formed an opinion of Christianity that isn’t always accurate,” Brazeal, director of the Rapid City crusade, said.
No, they have formed an ‘accurate’ opinion, and that is why they don’t bother with religion anymore.
But the political science and art history major from Pierre doesn’t feel any pressure to conform to a largely Christian society, even though she has numerous committed Christians as friends, and her family will be attending Easter services today without her.
“They don’t agree with it, but they know they can’t control it,” she said.
And that is where religion has lost it’s way, trying to control people.
