so- i made the mistake of tooling around the news and blogs- and good lord! if there’s good news out there, please, give me a link or two. or more if you have them. as dusty would say- ’sweet jesus in a speedo!’ i think the question on everyone’s mind- including at least the sentient of the presidential hopefuls- is- how the hell are we going to get through the next year? will there even be a planet by the end of this year? is another good question. we have a tanking world economy; war crimes up the ying yang, and both poles are melting faster than you can say- global warming. so what pray tell iare the msm and candidates focusing on? how churchy the candidates are. yes. i took a deeeeeep breath. and i took a nice warm shower. and here i am. ok- here it is folks- the entire world is looking at us like we have lost our damned minds. the rest of the world DOES NOT CARE which church these yahoos speak at or if they hear voices- i mean god- speaking to them. frankly- i could care less too, but all of the candidates but kucinich are sidling up in the pews looking all pious and like they really go to church every single sunday- and wednesdays too for good measure (baptist church i used to go to had 3 services weekly).

here’s what i don’t understand- and please- help me if you can (and i don’t mean this rhetorically because i genuinely don’t get it)- i don’t understand how folks can believe wholeheartedly that creationism should be taught as fact and that there is genuinely a divine being somewhere up in the firmament looking down on us but these same folks will not believe that our man made, man designed government is infallible. these same folks who believe that a nice but somewhat radical man was killed and then rose from the dead in 3 days will not believe hard evidence coming out that our government was involved in the attacks of 9/11. belief that lepers were healed and lame folks walked and dead folks brought to life- but will not believe…. you get the point. why are we still having a discussion about religion in the 21st century and why are so many people interested in the candidate’s religion? i mean especially since this last go round with the georgie and pickles show has been nothing but a god damned disaster.

the other thing i haven’t figured out is why is there a need for this to be a christian nation? why would we want huckleberry to tinker with the constitution- or any of them for that matter? i mean if you have faith- it’s yours. i neither need any nor want any- you have at it. i don’t need to be saved- but maybe you do. maybe that’s it. the christians need to have one way for everyone to behave and think and act in order for them to maintain their own faith. because it worked so well in all of those muslim countries. the more churchy a candidate- the more i am determined that i will not vote for him- or her. kucinich has repeatedly come out in favor of the constitution- indeed he is the only one running right now who has. if he was able to actually run in this election, he would win. and that’s what the churchies- and the rest of the lobby groups don’t want. god forbid anyone with a brain who uses it get elected.

no- far better to elect someone who ‘hears’ god talking to him- or her. far better to elect someone who pretends to believe in god in order to get elected. have to keep up the facade of being ‘holy’- meanwhile, we are on the brink of a depression; our planet is dying; and thousands of palestinians are freezing to death- in the name of god. you can keep your faith. i would rather have none.
