This week in God: Despite what you might think, you just can't make this stuff up, kids

If your God is a mean-spirited, vindictive son of a bitch who would sooner spite you than love you…well, good on you. That’s your choice, and if belief in such a deity gives your life meaning and purpose, knock yourself out, eh?

What I don’t, and can’t, understand are the hyper-religious zealots who believe their flavor of Imaginary Being to be the One, True, and Only Faith, which provides them the absolute right to give their beliefs the force of law. Then again, sometimes examples of zealots doing their thing can be highly entertaining. I can’t help but think that going through life burdened with so much hatred, self-righteousness, and willingness to subjugate others to your moral code can’t be easy. Tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion are good things, things Jesus Christ taught…not that you’d recognize modern Christianity as having anything at all to do with His Gospel.

I have no problem with trying to model a “live and let live” philosophy…but these maroons clearly have NO idea what it means to allow others to be who they are.

Televangelist warns viewers: Masturbating men ‘will find their hands pregnant in the afterlife’: I’d have something witty and deprecating to say about this…but I can’t stop laughing long enough to formulate a response.

Fischer: Support For Gay Rights Is ‘Evidence That Satan Exists’: Hmm…and all these years I’d been thinking that the Green Bay Packers were all the proof I needed that Satan exists.

Arizona pastor’s wife condemns ‘liberal’ Duggars: Sexual deviants should be executed: Wow, he seems nice. I can’t help but wonder if there’s a group he DOESN’T think should be executed?

E.W. Jackson Preaches That Christians Must Support FRC’s ‘Missionary’ Work In The United States: So unless Christians engage in random acts of hatred, homophobia, and discrimination in the name of Jesus Christ, they’re not REAL Christians?

America’s Gay-Hating Cake Bakers Would Like To Be Pen Pals With Cake Bigots In Northern Ireland: Hatred seems to be a universal language; no translation needed…especially when it’s done in the name of Jesus Christ.

Religious Right Groups Warn Gay Boy Scout Leaders Will Sexually Molest And Recruit Boys Into Homosexuality: From there, they’ll create a fearsome gay army that will oppress Christians and make force them to like- nay, beg for- anal sex.

How Not To Counsel Your Daughters When They’ve Been Molested By Josh Duggar: You could start by not teaching them that they’re at fault for their molester not being able to control his urges.

Marco Rubio: Legalized gay marriage is ‘a real and present danger’ to the survival of Christianity: I’d have to think that the zealots of the American Taliban…like Marco Rubio, f’rinstance…are the real threat to the survival of Christianity.

A ‘9/11 Every Day’: The Radical Anti-Contraception Ideology That Links The Duggars And The Anti-Choice Right: As any good, red-blooded, God-fearing, patriarchal Christian patriot can tell you, the road to Sodom and Gomorrah begins with letting women think they deserve to have control over their reproductive functions. REAL Christians know that it’s the role of (Conservative Christian) men to make these decision.

Ben Carson: Republicans have to stop letting progressives bully Christians: Sorry, Doctor; denying you the right to deny others their rights is not the definition of bullying. That’s hypocrisy you’re thinking of.

Right-Wing Pundit: Obama And Liberals Are Satan’s ‘Mouthpieces’: Who knew Satan needed a mouthpiece? I’d always thought he was quite capable of speaking for himself.

Creationist Defends Josh Duggar: If Evolution is True, Molesting Kids is OK: Ah, so THAT’s why Jesus loved children….

Jessa Duggar’s father-in-law rails against unwed mothers and sex ed in rant defending Josh: Yeah, because you certainly wouldn’t want Josh Duggar to have to accept responsibility for being what he appears to be: a sexual predator.
