digitaldisciplineToday the Rude One really outdid himself, summarizing GWB's prayer and Jesus' reactions thereto.
Said Bush, "We ask Him to heal the sick, and comfort the dying, and sustain those who care for them. We ask Him to bring solace to the victims of tragedy, and help to those suffering from addiction and adversity. We ask him to strengthen our families, and to protect the innocent and vulnerable in our country. We ask Him to protect our nation from those who wish us harm -- and watch over all who stepped forward to defend us. We ask Him to bring about the day when His peace shall reign across the world -- and every tear shall be wiped away."
Jesus wondered, between technicolor yawns, why every time conservatives talk about prayer, they make it sound like people can't do shit for themselves, but when it comes to the government actually doing shit to, you know, "help those suffering" and protecting "the innocent and vulnerable," it's all, "Hey, motherfuckers, do that shit on your own." Or pray. It's a vicious circle.
Bush went on: "Experiencing the presence of God transforms our hearts -- and the more we seek His presence, the more we feel the tug at our souls to reach out to the poor, and the hungry, the elderly, and the infirm. When we answer God's call to love a neighbor as ourselves, we enter into a deeper friendship with our fellow man -- and a deeper relationship with our eternal Father."
Jesus yelled at his computer, "No, no, no, you don't get to say this shit when you veto a bill to give more children health care because you're afraid some adults might get to go to the doctor, too. Fucker."
That, friends and neighbors, is exactly fucking it when it comes to ther Religious Right and the GOP, and whey they deserve one another's clammy embrace when they're dropped into the fucking ocean.

OK, the thing is? They may actually believe this shit, but for some reason, they believe that the people who should reach out and aid others aren't them. They have somehow come to the conclusion that it is their job to be the people who 'encourage' others to go out and perform these acts of service to the infirm and those in need.
Do not even get me started on the fucking "Prayer of Jabez" ignorance. Jesus himself would have called them Pharisees, or turned over their money changing tables. It is the biggest travesty to become pop-doctrine since people decided that "Homosexuality" was somehow worse than any other thing called an "abomination" in the bible... like eating shrimp, cutting your hair, or a host of other things that the extreme right doesn't seem to give a shit about.
Feckin' oy.
