I feel sorry for Sen. Kennedy. As Tio-Peregrino put it Ted Kennedy is probably in great danger of going to hell whenever he dies. It's not likely that someone with his beliefs will repent and accept Jesus Christ at his age. Of course it's not impossible.

HE. IS. CATHOLIC YOU PRICKS! He has already accepted Jesus! Just because he is liberal and doesn't go around praising Jesus, buying into the Gospel according to Conservative Preachers, and justifying his every action with his religious beliefs does not mean that he isn't Christian.
Self-righteous pricks you ALS and Tio Peregrino. You assume to assigne the mercy and forgiveness of the god you purport to wroship as and where you will. This is hubris of the blasphemous sort. If there is a god, then he'll fry your balls on the hottest hob in hell - be sure of it - for arrogating to yourselves his right of judgement.
Because Confirmation is a satanic rite into the Democratic Party, demanding full obedience to the principles of Darwinism and a rejection of laissez-faire economics, it follows that catholics cannot be True Cross-tians.
Idjit.
Someone with his beliefs? You mean the way he thinks the underdog should have a voice, or the way he fights for the rights of the poor, or the way he is personally involved in several charities? Sure, Jesus wouldn't like that at all.
ALS6347, about the same time as your Bible tells you Jesus was alive the Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger wrote "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful".
I'll let you into a little secret, ALS6347.
Nothing has changed.
If your beliefs coincide perfectly with God's, does it mean that he, too, has the intelligence of an oatmeal cookie?
Kennedy is a Catholic. He's been baptized, and when he reached the age of accountability, he underwent confirmation in which he confessed his faith in Jesus Christ. He therefore satisfies both conditions of Mark 16:16: "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ..."
Yeah, yeah, Catholics aren't Christian, liberals aren't Christian, etc, etc, etc.
Do you really think we didn't know exactly what you'd say about him? Although this one is pretty tame compared to what I've been expecting. I guess they'll haul out the big guns once he actually passes away.
Some how I don't think that God died and appointed two self-righteous death cult twerps that don't even follow his scriptures to decide who goes to hell in his place. Maybe they should read commandment #1, it's in the Bible unlike Rapture.PS Thoreau's last words when questioned by a self-righteous idiot fundie twit ancestor of Tio-Pee-on-me-o, and ALS812 about "whether he had made his peace with God" was "GOD AND I HAVE NEVER QUARRELED, SIR"!! Good luck Ted!
Ted's a Catholic you twit. Believe it or not it's possible to have empathy for other people and be Christian at the same time. He's probably just one of those people who acknoledges that Jesus was a liberal and follows in his footsteps. That or he was just raised Catholic and it's not really important to him except to say he's religious for elections. Sure he may be in a hurry to return to his hotel room after a swim, but who doesn't have flaws?
Oh, FFS, leave the man alone, already! He's dying, he doesn't need you and your stupid little "Jesus Saves" spiel right now!
@ mike: Allow me to correct a few misconceptions.
As a Catholic, I worship neither the Pope nor Mary. I do, however, listen to the Pope's opinion... and I don't consider him the Antichrist :)
Ted Kennedy's done more for your country than all you neocon fundy cunts could ever do in your collective lifetimes. And it's that legacy that'll ensure his name will be remembered in centuries to come. Long after Ruptured Retards isn't even a footnote in history. Why would historians, scholars & academics want to remember a sad little forum of nobodies who believed in not only a sad little fairytale, but a delusion of a completely unconnected future 'event' that would never happen?
His name will be remembered alongside those of not only his illustrious older brother John Fitzgerald Kennedy (and one of the finest presidents your country'll ever have), but M.K. Gandhi, Willy Brandt, Martin Luther King, Jimmy Carter, and Nelson Mandela. If there is a heaven, he's there, along with them (or will be). After all, remember the Sermon on the Mount, and his Beatitudes?:
Matthew 5:9: 'Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.'
His work in Northern Ireland was instrumental to the Troubles coming to an end. Certainly what he did to advance the cause of civil rights and equality in the US. (thus I was glad he lived to see Barack Obama elected and enter the White House). What he did to change your country for the better is the best memorial he could ever have. The good that men do lives on.
What have you right-wingers done?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
