How do you know you're a miserable human being? When you're Mike Huckabee or Bryan Fischer.

Bryan Fischer Says CT Shooting Occurred Because ‘Prayer, Bible Not Taught In Public School’

Mike Huckabee: Schools are a ‘Place of Carnage’ because We Removed God from Them

As if the tragic massacre in Newtown, CT, wasn’t horrific enough, along comes two hyper-religious hypocrites more than willing to use the massacre of innocent children and teachers to push their narrow, dismissive religious agenda. If there are two human beings (and I use that description loosely) more despicable than Fischer or Huckabee, I’ve yet to run across them. A decent human being would at least recognize the transcendent nature of such an unfathomable tragedy. They’d at least understand that parents and loved ones are mourning the deaths of those who deserved better. More than anything, they’d certainly possess compassion enough to grasp that the senseless massacre of innocents is not the time to push their intolerant, hyper-religious agenda.

That Fischer and Huckabee have the temerity to call themselves men of God is as much an insult to good and decent Christians as it is a joke. If these two judgmental hypocrites are Christians, then I’m the Queen of England. At a time when Christian compassion and charity would clearly seem to be the order of the day, Fischer and Huckabee have chosen to trample on the grief and suffering of those who lost loved ones at Sandy Hook Elementary.

The families and loved ones of the fallen deserve better than to see their heartbreak and suffering used by religious zealots to promote their own partisan hyper-religious agenda. Bryan Fischer and Mike Huckabee represent everything that’s wrong with modern Christianity; if these are the faces of our majority religion, it’s no wonder I don’t believe in God.
