That's why politics is such a dirty business in this country. <<Jay Leno said it best the other night - all of Hollywood is stopping when they see trees on fire as a result of the Florida wildfires: they think the burning bushes are another message from Barack Obama.>> I think anyone who looks for messages in burning bushes, talking snakes or a book written by man ages ago is likely not the best at determining who should run this country in the 21st century. Now can we get back to WDW?

Oh, you mean society's evolved so that we don't have the same issues that they did? Like murder, greed, corruption? Spirit, you should probably stick to philosophizing about Fantasyland, because outside of that, you come off like a charlatan.

There's certainly value in some parts of some ancient texts. Many in fact. I just don't won't a born again nutjob who believes in the Bible's literal interpretation or that it is the 'word of God' is someone I want running a modern, educated, forward-thinking, nuclear world power. <<Oh, you mean society's evolved so that we don't have the same issues that they did? Like murder, greed, corruption?>> No, actually I think society has devolved over the years. And I believe the folks who mindlessly peddle religion and try and force their beliefs upon what is supposed to be a free secular democratic society are a major reason we have taken so many steps backward. <<Spirit, you should probably stick to philosophizing about Fantasyland, because outside of that, you come off like a charlatan.>> I didn't bring religion or politics into this thread, but I won't back down when it is hijacked. I'd like to know how in expressing my opinion, I'm coming off as 'a charlatan?' (God, where is jonvn when you need him?)

Originally Posted By fkurucz >> I think anyone who looks for messages in...a book written by man ages ago is likely not the best at determining who should run this country in the 21st century.>> My concern is that many of the evangelical persuasion are obsessed with the "end times" and trying to predict when they will come (in spite of Jesus's direct warning that its location in history is hidden from men). I fear that if they believe that the end is near that they might let the nukes fly, since Jesus will "rapture" them away before Armageddon actually happens. (Note: while non-evang Christians do believe that Jesus will return at the end, they do not subscribe to the "rapture" business.

But your last post likely totally killed this thread ... so look for The Second Official Magical Cutback Thread ... coming to a LP near you soon.

Apparently, Spirit is rapturing his cause right outta this one. It'll be interesting to see how he resurrects the topic. Arm-a-geddon outta this thread too, now that it's reaching an apocalyptic end. Funny how mentioning "end times" brings a swift conclusion to the discussion. -------------------------- on a serious note, I actually think this topic started out as a very good idea, but I just couldn't resist the above comments once the spots started falling off the Dalmations.

I'll also go to DCA in 2012 if everything there promised is open. Although I dont care much for cartoon tie-ins I will go to check out Cars Land and Little Mermaid because that is the ambitious immersive entertainment that I am looking for.
