It is almost Christmas time and I’m sure that my readers will be heading off to one or more large family gatherings. If your families are anything like mine there are bound to be people who you don’t normally associate with that you will be forced to make nice. Well lots of Christians seem to have trouble talking with Athiests so Im sharing this helpful video from Laci. Enjoy.

State GOP Chair Says McCain Like Jesus
Categorized: Religion
Tagged: Fundamentalism, Religious Freedom, Republicans
Here at WWJV4 we try to focus on the infringement of radical religious interests into our government and politics. Very seldom however do we see such a blatant statement mixing the two as what we get from Georgia Republican Party chairwoman Sue Everhart. wow, just wow.
“John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross, He never denounced God, either.”
Sue Everhart was praising John McCain for refusing to denounce America under torture. JUST LIKE JESUS! Whats more insane is that she claims that she was not trying to make a comparison between McCain and Jesus. She was just, you know, saying that he was like Jesus. Clearly not a comparison.
Look, Sue Everhart is free to hold whatever delusions she wants about the Jesusness of John McCain. However making comparisons between the GOP’s candidate and Jesus is absurd and insulting. To be honest if John McCain is actually elected president we all better hope that he is even Jesusier than Sue thinks he is because he has no plan at all to fix any of the problems facing this nation.
Personally I will side with The Carpetbagger Report and others and say that John McCain has much more in common with underpants gnomes than with Jesus. His three step plan for fixing any problem seems very much like the underpants plan.
Step 1: Steal Underpants.
Step 2: …????…
Step 3: Profit!
Bow Before McCain ToastMcCain is like Jesus, what will they stoop to next to make the Republican base like the guy? Pretty soon were going to be hearing about people seeing his face on toast. I guess the Republican mantra of do whatever it takes to win doesn’t stop at blasphemy.
One final pondering on this. Is being likened to Jesus better or worse than being hailed as the second coming of Reagan?

Minister Caught in Internet Sex Sting

Joe Barron, a minister from a Dallas-area Baptist megachurch, has been caught up in an online sex sting after driving nearly 200 miles to have sex with what he thought was a 13 year old girl. This meeting follows two weeks of sexual conversations between Joe Barron and an undercover officer posing as a 13 year old. In his car officers discovered a webcam and condoms. Joe Barron has been charged with online solicitation of a minor, and is released from jail on bond.
Joe Barron is (was?) one of 40 Baptist ministers at one of the nations largest churches, Prestonwood Baptist Church. One of Joe Barron’s responsibilities at the church was to provide ministry for married adults. I would assume that many of the couples that Joe Barron has served over the years had young teenage daughters. One can only imagine how this revelation is affecting them.
I honestly feel sorry for these couples and Joe Barron’s family. In times like this it would be very easy to gloat and point out how often Republicans and Right Wing conservatives get caught up in sex scandals. I would like to step back from that briefly and say that I feel sorry for the only victims in this crime, the couples Joe ministered over the years and his friends and family.
More on this story as information comes available.

Monday Morning Funnies

I don’t really have much today as I spent the entire weekend programming and working on a clients project. I did find two creationist videos at Hell’s Handmaiden that I would like to share with all of you. You may or may not have seen them before but they are still worth a good laugh.
If we don’t stop the spread of creationism this is the kind of “science” that our children will be taught. We recently got lucky in Florida but we can’t count on luck when our children’s education is at risk.
