Chris Rodda? Ah yes.....that leftwing hate-mongering, verbal bomb
tossing liar for the religion-haters.

You've never heard of Chris Rodda, as proven by what you wrote below.

I've read a little of his stuff once in a while, and he's nothing more
than a religion-hater, much like you. In fact, he's `you' on steroids.

"His?" "He's?"

I never paid enough attention to the person to get far enough to know what `gender he/she was.

Chris is a woman. You know, female?

After a few lines of the religion-hate from that source, a `click' of the
mouse button takes me back to the world of reality. `Its' gender never came
up.

Thanks for proving you had no clue as to what you were talking about.

Rodda spouts religion hatred, the same as `you' do. The only difference is, Rodda probably gets money for it, you don't.

One place Rodda's name came up a while back,was in connection with an article claiming to have *debunked* the ownership of some prayer book that is said to have belonged to George Washington. I put the writer down as a religion-hater ala Otto Sauer, and went to a different page. Gender never came up.


Rodda also appears to be a history-revisionist, tending to distort any part of American history that involves religion in connection with the Founding Fathers. Rodda's a religion-hater, the same as you are.

I wouldn't put much store in his stuff.

No one sane or credible puts any store in your stuff, since you're just a RS>bitter, angry old man who's fond of making stuff up.

With a title like `Liars for Jesus', the book didn't tempt me to read further.

Much like Franken's weird-titled book `Lies and the lying liars that ...etc etc', it caught my eye in passing, and I kept walking. `Liars for Jesus' has been in book stores for a while. Its been out about a year or so, and claims
to expose the religious right's revision of American history or some such.
Once I saw the title, I put it down as yet another religion-hating bomb- tosser, and didn't bother looking at it further. Gender never came up.



Title's like Franken's, or this title from Rodda, fall into my `automatic- ignore' category. It never gets to the author's `gender'.

Well, spring is in the air, and that can mean only one thing. It's time
for a member of Congress to introduce a resolution proclaiming the first weekend of May "Ten Commandments Weekend." This time, the resolution
comes from Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA).


These kinds of resolutions almost always contain a dose of Christian nationalist American history revisionism, and Broun's resolution, H.
Res. 1175, is no different. In fact, just like Sen. Sam Brownback in his
2008 Ten Commandments Weekend resolution, Broun includes a quote from
John Quincy Adams in one of his "Whereas" clauses.

"Whereas the sixth President of the United States, John Quincy Adams,
declared the Ten Commandments to be 'laws essential to the existence of
men in society, and most of which have been enacted by every nation,
which ever professed any code of laws'"

And, just like Brownback did in his resolution, Broun omits the part of
the quote in which Adams made it clear that many of the laws of the Old Testament were "adapted to that time only" and binding only on the
ancient Jews. Here's what Adams actually wrote, in a letter to his son:

"The law given from Sinai was a civil and municipal as well as a moral
and religious code; it contained many statutes adapted to that time
only, and to the particular circumstances of the nation to whom it was
given; they could of course be binding upon them, and only upon them,
until abrogated by the same authority which enacted them, as they
afterward were by the Christian dispensation; but many others were of
universal application -- laws essential to the existence of men in
society, and most of which have been enacted by every nation, which ever professed any code of laws."


(I think It might be relevant to note here that John Quincy Adams,
although personally quite religious, took his presidential oath of
office on a law book containing the Constitution rather than a Bible,
because he was swearing that as president he would uphold the
Constitution, not the Bible.)
