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
