No, you were the one, by your definition of propaganda, that made the Bible, the one-sided presentation of what truth is, into propaganda.
"Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of the community toward some cause or position by presenting only one side of an argument." The Bible presents only one side of the argument as truth. ..or else! It is absolute about this, which makes it, by your definition, an exaggerated example of propaganda.
You'd better go back and read all of your post. You were the one who brought it up. Now your post are all sounding like propaganda instead of mis-guided opinions.
You're not afraid of gangs, where do you live? Since Obama has been president, gangs have grown like weeds. They know that AG Holder has their backs, especially the black/Latino gangs that are almost everywhere. They now get Obama welfare checks, freebies, etc. & so it's easier to ignore the laws that the rest of us have to uphold.
Mr. Holder is a racist w/o question, he actually admits this in close company, & with Obama covering his arse, he continues to ignore Congress, meet the AG from hell.

Then the Bible and the Declaration of Independence, just to name a few, qualify as propaganda.
Actually, the Declaration could very well fit that category since most historians agree that only about one in three colonists wanted separation from the mother country.

The Bible is not an argument. It is a book teaching about God. By your short sighted definition ever text book ever written is propaganda. You are incorrect: it does not have to contain deception but often does. With all due respect!
Yeah!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Lurking Tom: It is pointless. My grandaddy used to say that you don't want to argue with a pig, you get mud all over yourself and it annoys the pig.

I thought you said in an early post that you are a Pastor? You have a strange way of displaying it.
What Hogwash! Where do you get that garbage? "A leader of the emerging Religious Right"? Name names, if it's a fact!
You are the perfect example of an over educated idiot. You give the impression you're a book worm when in reality you're a comic book worm.

If he's a pastor, it's of the Unitarians, which is nothing more than a social club for atheist.
OK, let's do this the "simple" way. Look at your last post, just above your message, you will notice what we call a "url". Take your cursor; that's the little pointy thing you move around on your computer screen, then place the cursor over the url, and then use your right finger to click.
There you will find all the information you were so kindly asking me for!
