Additional things that make me wonder.

         

      Knowing that morons like the Westboro Baptist Church literally believe that God created  everything, raises this question: If, as they say in their disgusting protests, "God hates Fags," does that mean that they believe their "perfect God" made a mistake, or are they just affirming that God is a non smoker?


        If one had sex with Pillsbury's cute, pudgy, white  "spokescartoon" , might one get a 'doughjob' "? In the worst case, could  it possibly  even lead to a yeast infection?


        Why, in Mike Huckabee's seemingly interminable  ranting re: the "War on Christianity"  has not one Republican candidate pointed out the obvious fallacy in his position?  That, of course, being that if any other faith or belief system in America (Islam, for example) actively sought the same position of establishment that Christianity has maintained over the years in America, Hucklabee's head would explode! 

      There is no "war" on Christianity in America, but there is a movement to reduce its intrusion into private areas where it has zero relevance. Religion is the concern of the believers, who are free to live their lives in accordance with the  precepts of their faith. In the United States, however, there has historically been a tacit "understanding" (for want of a better term)  that pretty much anything Christians wanted to do (pray at athletic contests, decorate public buildings, etc) was permitted, but Santeria followers better not kill chickens in public. We can slaughter them by the millions  in machines  for food, but don't kill one with reverence as an act of worship.  This, of course from a religion whose immediate precursor sacrificed entire bullocks on the altar, then burned them! Ludicrous ? Of course!


        Mike Huckabee,  Rick Santorum, and to a lesser degree several other GOP ers are the most dangerous  kind of religious zealots. They demand respect and political influence for their beliefs, while having no such tolerance for any other. Huckabee is just a cowboy hat away from the late, unlamented  Fred Phelps, in the same vein as Rick Santorum is just a drunken rant removed from Mel Gibson's insane Catholic extremism.
