Terror of Intolerance

This past week, I witnessed two acts of Christian intolerance so profane I wonder why we should even have faith anymore. First off, Pat Robertson, who looks creepy when we closes his eyes, said that a Pennsylvania town deserves the wrath of God for voting out a school board that supported "intelligent design."
First off, Pat Robertson is still pissed that God didn't elect him President in 1988. Second, intelligent design is just another euphamism for creationism, which is the abbreviated way to say God created everything. I don't support intelligent design in the classroom because I think teachers have a tough job as it is, being both educator and surrogate parent. They don't need to be a pastor as well. Robertson said this town deserved whatever natural disaster God could muster. Surely, by now, Robertson, like many other televangelists, has denied having said what they said. We really shouldn't listen to people like Robertson because they use one's God against them. Didn't Lucifer do this same thing? I don't trust Robertson, Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell, and Robert Schuller and think the world will be a better place once they are no longer around. I'm not saying anything should be done, like Robertson who said Venezuelan president Chavez should be taken care of.
Anyone who listens to these bozos ought to deserve whatever purgatory they are thrown into.

Second, there was the second two-parter on the season opener of Trading Souses: Meet your new Mommy. In this case, the producers got the backward Christian mother from the south to trade with the New Age mother from the north. As usual, the Christian women is portrayed as a 400 pound freak with a gap in her teeth wide enough to kick a field goal and the New Age woman is all into tarot cards and hypnosis. The Christian mother has a fit and calls herself a "God warrior" and terrifies her granddaughter. Apparently, there's nothing wrong with your teenage daughter getting knocked up at 16, but she does criticize the New Age kids because they don't go to church. Watching this southern bell spend two hours whining about an absent of God was so funny. I shouldn't laugh at someone else's pain, but it's hard to believe this woman acted like this when the cameras weren't rolling. It was all an act, if you ask me. She wanted to show to all her Christian friends that she didn't like being in an unholy household. Even worse, she gets on to her children and husband for allowing the New Age woman in her home. The show ended with her family disgusted with her and they should be. It's very rare when you can see a woman who is a bigger ass than what she has. And damn, there was a lot of ass on that woman.
