Best rhetorical question I've been asked all day:

[DFW]

[unblock]

1. back in the day it was "the 'moral majority' is neither"

[DFW]

2. Equally accurate. n/t

[IronLionZion]

3. They're already blaming the mass shootings on

the moral decay of liberal Democrats taking God out of everything, along with the associated guilt, fire, brimstone, and hate spewing. Apparently people would be less likely to do thinks that lead toward meeting their maker if we simply put the fear of God back into them.

Except for the terrorists who believe God wants them to do it. Or something...

[DFW]

4. The God Squad is very adept at putting square pegs into round holes

20. DU should make it possible to rec down thread posts

[DFW]

23. I loved this quote, too.

A LOT of wisdom packed into a very small space.

[demigoddess]

25. I agree, have wanted to so often, and not just jokes.

[Delphinus]

21. Love this!

Is it possible for me to copy and share?

[DFW]

22. If you are not able to just copy this off the board, PM me

I'll send it to you somehow.

[Paka]

28. AWESOME!!

Right to the point.

[perdita9]

5. I need to get a sign printed.

Best quote I've seen in a while

[mnhtnbb]

6. That's a good one.

[TNNurse]

7. The Christian Right

is an oxymoron.

[mdbl]

13. so true.

and I miss Molly Ivins too!

[bluestarone]

16. i'm so HAPPY

to hear this from a person from Tennessee TY

[Mendocino]

8. Remember the Moral Majority,

neither were they moral or a majority.

[HopeAgain]

9. Rather than Christian right,

They should be called Radical Christian Fundamentalists. They are as close to the teachings of Christ as Isis is to Muhammad.

[erronis]

29. Peas in a pod as we used to say.

Probably read the same "How to Succeed in the Religious Business".

[syringis]

10. This rethorical question isn't also named...

The quest for the Holy Grail?

J'espère que tu n'attends pas de réponse.

Tu as plus de chances de voir un jour Merkel et May lever la cuisse au Moulin Rouge dans un French cancan endiablé que d'avoir une réponse...

[DFW]

14. I fear that....

Tu as toute à fait raison!

Par rapport à ta première question--je demanderai à Indiana Jones la prochaîne fois que je le vois. Personellement, je n'ai pas eu cette tasse en main. Lui, par contre.......

[erronis]

30. "Raising thighs at the Moulin Rouge"

My french is passable, but I missed this one in the intermediate class.

[syringis]

32. Hello Erronis

In fact, you will hear more often "lever la jambe".

I took a liberty with "cuisse" instead of "jambe".

There is another expression but the meaning is completely different which, I can safely say, can't be applied either to Ms May or Ms Merkel.

"Avoir la cuisse légère". It litteraly means having a light tie. It is used to refer to a woman who cheated on her husband.

[AwakeAtLast]

11. That stirs a memory for me

And it happened right here on DU.

I posted in a reply "The Religious Right is neither religious, nor right."

Mini flame war ensues.....

[mdbl]

12. Perfect!

Couldn't have said that better.

[DFW]

15. I got sent it as a facebook post

I just found myself saying, "yup, yup," and thinking that Godot would show up first.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Most excellent, my dear DFW!

Not only is it right on, but this is a very classy looking photo.

Thank you!

[DFW]

18. Kudos to whomever put it together

I wish I could claim credit, but it showed up on some facebook page

[steve2470]

19. excellent as usual!

Hope you, wife, and kids are all great!

[DFW]

24. THanks. I THINK they all are!

My wife is on her way back here from a week in Greece, my elder daughter has had a busy week in NYC, and the younger one has been busy all over Europe trying to prove that mine is not the most strenuous travel schedule after all, although considering Howard Dean's schedule this past week, I think he has us all beat.

[Motley13]

26. When has any religion lived up to their pronouncements, NONE

they always hate someone . The scourge of the earth

[DFW]

27. Yes, unfortunately

It has always been used to drive a wedge between people who otherwise would have everything in common. My wife retired early from the Catholic Church when in her small town, Protestant children were told not to play with her because she was Catholic. Other Catholics (NOT her parents, by the way) told her not to play with Protestant kids. A few centuries ago, they fought wars here over this. She finally just decided there was no sense in any of it.

31. The bull's-eye !

Specifically the 3 religions of the Book. All copied on one another with "improvements" thru the millenniums.

It reminds me a discussion we had once in a family event. It was about religions and the spiritual traditions. My mother-in-law asked me what was said in Islam.

My answer flied almost before she ends her question : the same in Arabic...

This said, I strongly believe we have a lot to learn from the 3 religions.

Please, don't misunderstand me : I'm not thinking of rituals or way to go but...of marketing.

Existing for an average of 2 millenniums for each, implies a full mastery of marketing skills...

Do you think Coca-cola, P&G or any major multinational company will still exist in the year 4017 ?
