A MUST SEE interview with Noam Chomsky
You cant have discourse with the people who still think that this administration is right.

Without people of differing opinions, there is no discourse.

Can Anyone Really Get Into Heaven?
Sure, some of the things in here are taken out of context, but let's just focus on two of them, hm?

1. Love everyone.
2. Hate everyone.

Those seem rather clear -- any takers?


If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple.

Firstly, he's not talking here about going to heaven. Secondly, the guy left off the last sentence which puts it into a bit of context:

"And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple."

He's talking about people coming to him, to worship him believing that they are not in need of guidance or help. The passage is saying that you cannot be a disciple of god if you are not willing to admit your fallacies and your hatreds -- if you cannot bear your soul and put your heart and mind forth with the understanding that, as much as you strive to live your life as god intends that you still sin, you'll never truly understand Jesus.

Again, I'm agnostic and haven't been to a church service in close to a decade and, with a little research, even *I* can interpret this after realizing that the video poster is omitting text to twist it into his own meaning.

He has zero credibility of any kind after that.

Devout agnostic here, and it's my believe that this video belongs in the toilet -- from my half-paying attention viewing, I did happen to catch that, in one reading, the passage said something to the effect of, "Do this and only then will you be my disciple."

Now, being a disciple and being granted entrance into heaven are two completely different things. If the man is trying to distort the meaning of plainly written text that he puts right in front of my face, the video as a whole has no credibility to me.
