OK OK, I apologize for that. I dun y’all wrong. Please forgive me. As partial redemption for polluting your brains like that, I offer a cleansing by the great Drive-By Truckers.
I used to go hear them before they were anybody, back when Jason Isbell was still with them, down at the Star Community Bar — or maybe it was across the street at The Point, back when there was The Point, which sounds like a bit of accidental philosophy, which maybe it is, but I digress — anyway, they were great fun, and I hope you forgive me.

Thanks for those Drive by Truckers, Jay. As for the first video, that was a little weird to me.
Talk about ‘funny’ though, in a sick sort of way:
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new survey…More than half of people who attend services at least once a week — 54 percent — said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is “often” or “sometimes” justified. Only 42 percent of people who “seldom or never” go to services agreed, according to the analysis released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

Haley Barbour, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former Govs. Jeb Bush of Florida and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts.

Yes, since Muslims consider Jesus one of their greatest prophets, accept the virgin birth, etc, they would rather be deeply offended by stuff that insults Jesus Christ himself, but thats not the same thing as offending Christians themselves for how they interpret either one of the Testements. If anyone has actually bothered to read the Quran, they would know that Jesus and his mother are mentioned more in the Quran than Muhammed, or any of the other biblical prophets. In fact most of the Quran tells the same stories that are in the Bible.

Actually a large number of Muhammeds earliest supporters and many converts were Jews. Muhammeds closest advisors were also Jews who never converted. The “jews”, as translated into English from the Quran does not refer to all Jews, but two of the tribes who signed a treaty of peace and mutual respect with the Muslims and Christians of the city of Medina, and then broke the treaty and attempted to have Muhammed killed by his enemies in the city of Mecca.
With regard to John Adams, he was a Unitarian, which at his time was a denomination that did not believe in the trinity or even the divinity of Christ. He was quite a devout Unitarian:
The Religious Affiliation of Second U.S. President
John Adams
Religious Affiliation: Unitarian
Summary of Religious Views:
Adams was raised a Congregationalist, but ultimately rejected many fundamental doctrines of conventional Christianity, such as the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, becoming a Unitarian. In his youth, Adams’ father urged him to become a minister, but Adams refused, considering the practice of law to be a more noble calling. Although he once referred to himself as a “church going animal,” Adams’ view of religion overall was rather ambivalent: He recognized the abuses, large and small, that religious belief lends itself to, but he also believed that religion could be a force for good in individual lives and in society at large. His extensive reading (especially in the classics), led him to believe that this view applied not only to Christianity, but to all religions.
Adams was aware of (and wary of) the risks, such as persecution of minorities and the temptation to wage holy wars, that an established religion poses. Nonetheless, he believed that religion, by uniting and morally guiding the people, had a role in public life.

Before the Great American Sissy discovered that Christians do not behead whiners, the Ten Commandments hung on the wall of every courthouse in the land.
WASHINGTON — When the Supreme Court justices consider whether the Ten Commandments should be displayed on government property, they will do so under the watchful eyes of Moses.
The Jewish lawgiver is depicted several times in the stone and marble edifice that is the Supreme Court building, and so are the Ten Commandments. In sculpture, Moses sits as the prominent figure atop the building’s east side, holding two tablets representing the Ten Commandments. And on the wall directly behind the chief justice’s chair, an allegorical “Majesty of Law” places his muscular left arm on a tablet depicting the Roman numerals I through X.
