Hateful thoughts? Where in this post is “hate”? Not believing something hardly constitutes “hate”.

Just a thought: look up the word “projection” in a dictionary of psychology terms.

Sad though that the MSM, of course, is reporting the fact that 90% believe in a ‘G*D’ or Higher Power. Not the fact that only 60% believe in a ‘G*D’. They are making it sound as if 90% believe in ‘G*D’ which is misleading. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by that.

Voster has paid visits; in fact he was a frequent visitor many months ago. Why he would visit and then howl is beyond me; it isn’t as if he should be surprised at my point of view.

The odd thing is that, rather than condemning people, I said that I was encouraged at what the poll showed.

What always blows me away though is how so many wingnuts get their feelings hurt when you announce that you find their bizarre beliefs (e. g., that a donkey talked to its rider, a body rose from the dead, etc.) to be, well, bizarre and completely non-credible.
