Neil Mammen is a wingnut and author of the
elegantly titled Jesus is involved in
politics!: Why aren’t you? Why isn’t your church? The Only Way to a Happier,
Healthier, Safer and Mutually Prosperous America and 40 Days Toward a More Godly Nation: Why Only Churches Can Lead Us to a
Happier, Healthier, Safer and Mutually Prosperous America (both published
by the hate group the American Family Association). Mammen is the kind of guy who thinks
people with political power ought to be religious fundamentalists, and is very concerned about politicians he perceives not to be true Christians™, such as Obama (so, the
definition of “true Christian” is someone who agrees with Mammen on politics,
in which case it follows by definition that only true Christians can govern the
way Mammen would like): “… anytime you
get somebody who disdains law [like Obama], doesn’t care for the law, who hates
the Lawgiver and doesn’t think he deserves his sceptre, doesn’t think that the
law giver knows what’s good for you, for us, then naturally you’re going to get
pain, suffering, disease and death.” Note that, according to Mammen, only
Christianity™ is based on reason and rationality; all other religions are based
on faith.
He has also written about how to protect
your kids in college, where they may be exposed to facts that contradict what
their pastors taught them and discover that people of different faiths and
political convictions aren’t necessary pawns of Satan.
Diagnosis: Wingnut fundie; not one of the
central characters in the crazy movement, but probably not anyone you should
listen to nonetheless.
Mammon is also known as a devil of hell..Thought you should know.

ReplyDeleteHe's a better person than you by a long shot. His reasoning is sound and rational for anyone with an open mind. I expect you will do the usual intolerant Leftist fascist thing and delete this. Prove me wrong.
ReplyDeleteHe did, as I can still read your comment. And how does exactly rational reasoning and "open mind" can lead you to a conclusion that law should be derived from religious dogma? Also "leftist fascist" - just read about ideologies before you started calling someone names, would you?
DeleteBlind faith in religious dogma and believing that everyobe else should be forved to think like you isn't exactly being open-minded, Einstein...
DeleteAnother wingnut crackpot, only good for laughing at for his insanity.
ReplyDeleteI’d love to see you debate him on politics, religion, creationism, atheism...I’ve seen him in action and he’s super smart and well read. This article is sorely out of contex and reeks of self-righteousness instead of openness to debate. People who aren’t super smart usually insult rather than engage.
ReplyDeleteYet he insults Obama, or is this out of *context too?
DeleteSorry but Obama was driven by his own racially driven Robinhood dogma that could only be carried out by division, executive orders and dropping large bags of cash in the middle of the night.
DeleteSo... it's bad to call people names if you don'y like them, but it's ok to call Obama names because you don't like him?
DeleteI think I need to check on my pot. I heard him calling kettle black again
If he is a creationist, then he is not smart, or he is not honest; pick one. Rabid theocrats tend to not be particularly bright either.
DeleteThe difference is, he could take your sorry ass apart in no time with solid arguments and would still not once resort to personal insult, like you do ...call him whatever you like ...he has outclassed you big time.
ReplyDeleteBut don't worry ....this serves as a great teaching tool ....and, knowing Neil, he'll use as such��...thank you for your service����
Yeah, we all see how "solid" his arguments against Obama were - and there was not a single personal insult against him. Just... accusing him of not being religious lunatic like Neil is. Really classy, this one. I feel like I'm leagues behind him
Delete....and I do understand that you probably do what so called American "liberal progressives" do best and delete all the stuff that doesn't fall in line with your point (proving once again that "liberal and progressive" in the US has nothing to do with actually being liberal and/or progressive), but just know that the left censorship is just a reminder for us to never trust them and to never vote for them....keep up the good work
ReplyDelete...because nothing says "censorship" like whining on public, easily-accesible page. And what to what fascist measures those damn Liberals have sunk themselves this time? They - *gasp* - delete posts! It's truly a bad day for freedom in America, when one can... you know... edit his own page
Delete(bottom line: try to go the countries like China to see what real "censorship" means)

DeleteSome thin skinned fundies commenting...
ReplyDeleteThat's funny ....standing up for a man with character, class, brains, values ...who is also a dark skinned immigrant who worked his butt off to make something out of himself ....makes you a "thin skinned fundy"
Delete...but calling the same man names and declaring him to be a crazy wingnut...now that's just loving, honest, liberal and progressive?
...who is really "thin skinned" here? ;-)
Sadly, his "values" seems to be based on pushing his beliefs onto other people, whether they liked it or not. Which, despite all his hard work, class, charisma and intelligence, I can't stand for
DeleteCalled that one.
