MUSLIMS, MORMONS, CHRISTIANS, AND JEWS

Muslims, Mormons, Christians and Jews all believe in God, in charity, in prayer, and in living a moral life.

The Muslim religion was started 1400 years ago. Muslims believe that Mohammad is the true prophet of God. Muslims are allowed up to four wives if the man can treat them equally.

The Mormon religion was started almost 200 years ago. Mormons believe that Joseph Smith was handed gospels written in gold, which promptly disappeared. Mormons used to be allowed as many wives as they wanted, but are now allowed only one wife.

The Christian religion was started around 2000 years ago. Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that he died on the cross to save us from our sins. Christians are allowed only one wife.

Judaism was started 3000 years ago. The main prophets in Judaism are Abraham and Moses. The Ten Commandments which Moses brought down from the mountain are the basis for many of the world's legal systems. Jews are now allowed only one wife.

The current candidates for President of the United States of America are a protestant Christian and a Mormon.

Madonna, who started her career mocking the Roman Catholic Church, is now mocking the Christian right by calling our President a Black Muslim. Unfortunately, crazies actually believe this.

Not long ago, I was asked why someone who is half Black and half White is always called Black. I think this is because of the old laws against Blacks and Whites mixing. Those laws made anyone who is even part Black, a Black by definition. It is a very old prejudice carried over to the present day.

President Obama seems to be replaying Paul Newman's role in Hombre. This time, we need to reward the person who rescued us. If you hate the recession, I guarantee you that you would have hated a depression even more. Did you know that almost all the Republicans refused to help save the banks and General Motors?

People keep asking why President Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize. He got the prize because the Scandinavians recognized the real danger to peace that an economic collapse posed.

Our pundits laugh at President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize for the same reason that the hombre was treated with disdain even after he saved everyone's life.
