For years now, it’s been somewhat of a running joke amongst the Amiga computer crowd to refer to me as “the anti-christ” whenever I say something they don’t approve of (I run Amiga.org btw)…
Going all political and stuff, I am truly starting to wonder whether the term might actually apply, because I can’t help but seem to irritate friends when they start talking about John McCain and his new Jesus Freak Barbie doll, Palin…
Am I the only one left in America who’s thoroughly disgusted by this woman and her “sending troops to Iraq is a task from God” bullshit mentality? We’ve already had 8 years of Bush using God to defend his actions when illegally invading a sovereign nation, but now Bush Jr (McCain) wants — as his second in command — a woman who’s even worse than Bush…? Yet McCain wants to pretend he’s “not anything like Bush”….? What the holy bleeping bleep man…!
Talking about it with my best friend today, I realized just how much she — and her Jesus Freakyness — really, really pisses me off. I’m afraid I might have even embarrassed myself in the restaurant at lunch, God forbid I embarrassed my friend…
I’m ok if people need to believe in God. I believe that God exists, I just have zero belief in any organized, man-made religion. I also strongly believe in the separation of Church and State and we’ve seen what damage mixing the two causes over the last 8 years. I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes;
Religion, like masturbation, should be done in private.
Anyway. Regardless of who you vote for, Democrat, Republican, whatever. I don’t care. All I’m asking is that you just think about it before you vote. I’d vote for “none of the above” before I would vote for anyone who so strongly pushes their belief that everything they do — right or wrong — is somehow certified by God Almighty.
If you can’t display the ten commandments in a courtroom, then you MUST remove God from the White House. It’s only fair. Something about a goose and gander getting it on or somesuch.
Sincerely spoken,
Wayne
