Sorry Joseph, I let ya down! |
Immediately after the presidential election my first instinct
was to throw up a blog about how the Christian Right is in bed with the
Republican party and how fear, materialism, and pseudo-nationalism seem to be
the driving force behind the right-wing machine…But I didn't...I waited. I wanted
to see how and where everything landed once the dust settled and buttholes
ceased to pucker. That being said- I’m still waiting.
I have many Christian friends, whom I love dearly, that are
still plugging up Facebook, Twitter, and every other social media orifice with
the dry diseased ridden shaft of hate and negativity. On the surface I could chalk it up to the unpleasant
taste of sour grapes after a defeat; go a level deeper I might surmise that many
Christians place politics and Nationalism over or equal to God, or have some schizophrenic
mentality that they are all one in the same. I have read many statuses and Tweets that read:
“Our side lost…but we still have hope/God is in control!” To that I say “poppycock!”…and
I ask:
What exactly
is “our side”?
Now I understand the sterilization of polarization and how an
Us versus Them attitude is often worse
than a raging STD. It is for this reason
I desperately want to give a well needed shot of penicillin into the already aching
loins of Christian Republicans. The good thing about a shot is that the needle-prick
is sudden, brief, and quickly forgotten. So without further ado, here it is:
Joseph
Smith was a false prophet. He said the Book of Mormon was the “most accurate book
ever written.” The book has been revised numerous times.
Mitt
Romney is a Mormon
The
Mormon god is not your God. Their god was once a man…thus they believe they can
become gods.
Mitt
Romney is a Mormon
Enough

So magic underwear and an afterlife of inherited
planets/universes aside…you should be rejoicing that Barrack Obama won the
election! There are worse things than a liberal Democrat occupying the White house. Of course I understand there are many who could never fathom the
idea that God may not have wanted a cult practitioner to occupy the highest
office in the land…but you have to admit- it could be a possibility?
What do you think?
