A different view of the happenings in the world..... I offer these not as proof, truth or fact.. just an observation.. a queer observation.

Rep Akin: Unicorns and hatred for god!
Representative Todd Akin has a penchant for saying outrageous things, but this one may take the cake. In a conversation with Family Research Council president Tony Perkins about NBC cutting the phrase "under God" out of the pledge of allegiance during coverage of the U.S. Open, Akin said the following: Perkins: Why would NBC do this? Akin: Well, I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal and at the heart of liberalism
Is ignorance subjective.. He fails to realize that the rest of the pledge, " justice and liberty for all" not just those that believe in his GOD.
For the record I do not hate GOD. As with Mr Akin's relationship with GOD it is personal, wish he would keep that way.
I choose not to believe in fairy tales and such. I do not believe a 950 year old man built the biggest boat ever, that we can't find, and rounded up 2 of every species and managed to live together 40 days and nights and everyone made it. ( there are 38,000 species of spider alone)
I choose not to believe a man lived inside a while (big fish).. I choose to believe that racism and slavery are wrong, even when the bible says it's good.
I choose to eat bacon, shrimp and lobster, clams, when the bible says they are an abomination.
I choose not believe in Unicorns, even though the bible says they are real.
'God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn.' (Numbers 23:22)
'His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns.' (Deuteronomy 33:17)
'Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Can'st thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? (job 39:9-12)
'Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.' (Psalms 22:21)
The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.' (Psalms 29:5-6)
'But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn.' (Psalms 92:10)
'For the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls.' (Isaiah 34:6-7)
That's the amazing thing about America, we get to choose. Mr. Akin can choose to believe in every crazy thing he wants, but what he can't do is make policy or laws based on his beliefs, that effect the "justice and liberty for all"
You are free to believe whatever you like, but you are not free to to impede on my rights, based on those beliefs, no matter what religion it's based on.
