cimorene-"come up with" by Bob Collins; i don't know if that means he totally wrote them or compiled them or what.
> - You think that one person spending $100,000 for a Rolls Royce helps the economy as much as 200 people spending $500 for groceries and rent.
> - You believe that government should have the right to force your faith on others, and it will never use that power to force others' faith on you.
> - You think that working poor families don't get sick as much as yours does.
> - You think it is "pro-life" oppose abortion, birth control and sex education, but do not think it is "pro life" to support improved funding for medical care and nutrition for pregnant women, infants and children, and for foster care.
> - You are confident that you could support your family on $5.15 per hour, but you have never had to try.
> - You work for a company whose chief executive makes 300 times what you do, and really believe that he does 300 times more for the company than you do.
> - You believe that football coaches should be paid over a million dollars a year, because they improve the quality of your life more than police officers, firefighters, teachers and soldiers, who are paid less than one twenty-fifth as much.
> - You drive a 5 mile per gallon SUV, and blame your gas bill on Osama.
> - You profess that God loves everyone, but wonder why He did not make everyone look just like you.
> - You believe that God is on the side of the United States, and because the All-Powerful God is on our side, we have to have the most expensive and> powerful military in the history of the world.
> - You have a long list of things that consenting adults must not be allowed to do in their bedrooms, but no list of things that those same consenting
adults must not be allowed to do in corporate boardrooms.
> - You believe that "Separation of Church and State" is a myth because the Constution does not mention that exact phrase, but also believe
that the Constitution is based on your religious beliefs, even though it does not mention God, Christ or the Bible.
> - You think that Roy Moore did what the Bible told him to, even though there are two very different versions of the Ten Commandments in the Bible - one in Exodus 20 / Deuteronomy 5, and a very different version in Exodus 34. The Bible makes it clear that the Exodus 34 Commandments are the ones that were in the Ark of the Covenant, and were therefore the basis for the laws of ancient Israel. Guess which Commandments Moore put in the State Courthouse? The wrong ones. Only 3 of them are even close to the right version. So you might be at risk of becoming a member of the political religious right if you think that , EVEN THOUGH Moore put the WRONG Commandments in the State Courthouse, he was doing what the Bible told him to do.
> - You believe that Darwin was wrong about evolution, but you practice "survival of the fittest" towards anyone who does not make as much money as
you do.
> - You believe that there is no such thing as evolution, but when you hear about a new flu bug that has evolved, you are first in line to get your shots, and when you are infected with bacteria have developed immunity to a particular antibiotic, you are happy when your doctor prescribes a much more expensive one.
> - You believe that it is degrading to think that people came from animals. You think it is more dignified to interpret literally the book of Genesis (Genesis 2:7), which says people came from dirt.
> - You believe that an education is necessary to teach children how to rationally evaluate facts, but oppose public schools because they sometimes
teach children to rationally evaluate facts.
