God and Matt Drudge...and not necessarily in that order

The woman who disrupted the first ever Muslim prayer service conducted at the National Cathedral claims she was sent to protest the ceremony by God after reading about it on the Drudge Report. In an interview with World Net Daily, Christine Weick, 50, said she read about the event on Drudge and became enraged, saying, “My blood began to boil as I read the comments of how this is to be such a wonderful event and how religious tolerance can, for the first time, be shown in our nation’s capital.”…. Friday’s prayer service was just beginning when Weick stood up and began walking towards the front of the cathedral shouting…. “Jesus Christ died on that cross. He is the reason we are to worship only Him. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior,” she said. “We have built…allowed you your mosques in this country. Why don’t you worship in your mosques and leave our churches alone? We are a country founded on Christian principles.”

It was easy to pass Ms. Weick off as a hyper-religious loon when I learned that she found out about the Muslim Prayer Service on that paragon of objective journalism, the . Then she went off on how religious tolerance is evidently a bad thing…and I knew she was a world-class wingnut. That anyone would think it appropriate and reasonable to disrupt a religious service is abhorrent enough. That Ms. Weick did it because her “blood began to boil” over the news that the National Cathedral would DARE hold a Muslim prayer service is indicative of someone who’s gone off her meds.

Ms. Weick is a “Christian” by an accident of birth. She was born American…and since 80% of Americans self-identify as Christian, she’s a Christian…if in name only. (It certainly doesn’t sound as if she got the memo about love, tolerance, and acceptance.) If she’d been born in Pakistan, she’d probably be Muslim. If she’d been born in Haiti, who knows? Perhaps she’d be practicing Santeria. My point is that something she sees as the One, True, and Only Faith is that to her because of where she was born.

After being ejected, Weick said she got into her SUV and began the 400-mile trip back to Tennessee where she says she lives in her car after being disowned by her family because she took a stand against same-sex marriage and other “moral issues.” According to Weick, her husband divorced her last year “over a spiritual conflict.”

Uh, no…I’d wager Ms. Weick’s husband divorced her because of her intolerant hyper-religiosity and her tenuous grip on reality. Her being a nuts might have factored into that as well. She may call herself a Christian, but it’s clear she knows little and understands even less of what her faith is about. If Ms. Weick is a Christian, I’m Jennifer Lawrence.

And when your primary news source is the Drudge Report…well, you’re pretty much beyond hope.
