The Christian Right is just so Wrong.

We all know their bullshit, the Democrats and liberals are immoral. The democrats and liberals have no values. But who are the nut jobs listening to all the hate radio and television - the CHRISTIAN RIGHT! These nut jobs can almost quote Rush and Hannity, including all the demeaning name calling and hate speech spewed forth that day with the same vigor. (Yes I know I am name calling, stay with me.) They then send around all these crazy emails about Obama being an anti-christ, a muslim, and a Black Liberation Theorist. Regardless of what the evangilical leaders tell them, I am certain that Jesus would not approve of this kind of behavior.

More to the point, it is all me, mine and screw you! I went back and read Luke and Mathew again and I am certain that this "screw my neighbor, he just isn't working hard enough" attitude is not what we were supposed to get out of those gospels. And WOW - do they ever worship mammon (Money - false god of riches). They have actually convinced themselves that money is a reward, and that as long as the put a little back in the plate on Sunday, its all good. As long as they have a good job and plenty of toys, they must be doing something right as far as God is concerned. Poor people, especially those of a different race, are to be scorned and chastized. No mercy, no aid, no benevolence or understanding. Theey are evil no-goods, who are the real downfall of this country. Are these the attitudes of good christians. Of course not! But good christians should pity them nontheless, as they need are help as well. I sometimes wish life was taped and I could playback the things I hear from some of these good christians during the week in mass on Sunday. Kind of like a Daily Show montage.

The email I saw today was especially disturbing. It inartfully attempted to define Black Liberation Theology, and stated that Obama was a follower of what is described as a sect. In the big picture it is really a condemnation of the black church. A form of hidden racism. It very directly goes on to point out that their interpretation of the Bible is not ours, so these are bad christians and should be feared. Its a prime example of how the christian right uses religion as a weapon. To beat down others, instead of to raise them up. You know like they say they are going to do in Mass on Sunday. Pity the Christian right and show them mercy, for they are so blinded by hate and fear that they know not what they do.
