Religious Insanity At Its' (cough) Finest

Tuesday, 14 Sweltring 2007

It is very difficult for me to try and conceive of the mindset that knows it is right when it tries to enforce its' pagan occult superstitions as if they were the law of the land, and must be obeyed by all citizens regardless of those citizens' beliefs. In other words, even if you don't believe any of the doctrinal nonsense in a particular belief system, you are required to accept that it has the force of law. In the United States of America in the twenty-first century. Go on, pull the other one...

Yet, here it is in all its' (cough) glory*:

Idaho congressman disturbed by Hindu prayer in Senate, election of Muslim to House

A conservative Idaho lawmaker believes America's founding fathers would not have wanted a Muslim elected to Congress or a Hindu prayer delivered in the U.S. Senate. He also believes that his superstitious ravings should have the force of law.

Last month, the U.S. Senate was opened for the first time ever with a Hindu prayer. Although the event generated little outrage other than a number of congresscritters walking out while said prayer was being expounded on Capitol Hill, Representative Bill Sali (R-Idaho) is one member of Congress who believes his pagan occult superstitious beliefs should be enough to make everyone agree that the prayer should have never been allowed.

"We have not only what this full goose bozo thinks is a pagan occult ritual known as a Hindu prayer being offered in the Senate, we have what this full goose bozo thinks is a pagan occult ritualist known as a Muslim member of the House of Representatives now, Keith Ellison from Minnesota. Those are changes -- and they are not what was envisioned by the Founding Fathers, who, of course, thought of everything," asserts the pagan ritualist Sali, employing his powers of mind reading, and presuming to speak for a bunch of dead guys.

Sali says that since he thinks America was built on Christian principles that were derived from scripture, that's the way it actually was. He also says that since he thinks the only way the United States has been allowed to exist in a world that is so hostile to Christian principles is through "the protective hand of God.", that the reality of the situation actually coincides with his superstitious beliefs.

"You know, the Lord can cause the rain to fall on the just and the unjust alike," says the Idaho Republican, as if, because he has interpreted that his Big Book of Christian Fairy Tales, er, Bible, says it, it must be so.

According to Congressman Sali, the only way the U.S. can continue to survive is under that protective hand of God. And he expects his religious insanity to be considered realistic and true, even though he has given no rational basis as to how this particular flavor of mental delusion has any connection to the real world. He states when a Hindu prayer is offered, "that's a different god" as if his statements were to be considered the same as rational reality based reasoning and that it "creates problems for the longevity of this country."

Jeebus H. Koresh on a crutch, people - how can such dreck walk upright, much less get electorated as a congresscritter? Even in Redneck Central, it is hard for me to understand how otherwise rational citizens can toss all that logic onto the woodpile and listen to this idiocy for more than ten seconds at a time, much less consider someone who spouts it to be qualified enough to vote for because of their superstitious beliefs.

Too bad they couldn't get Ratzi the Nazi as their new Head of the Inquisition, should they ever manage to give their occult superstitions the force of law - he's had mondo experience abusing that position to hide pedophiles from their congregants. But he's got a new job now...

* - the editors would like to point out that they believe** that the Funny Farm enhancements add to the esthetic and infotainment value of the original report, and ultimately, in spite of the blasphemous abuse of their Invisible Sky Fairy in the original, would make this report more spiritual. And in the end, glorify their nebulous concept of an All Being, Master of Space, Time, and DImension*** even more than the original ever could, by trying to inject more reality-based rational thought upon the matter. But that's just what you do when you're a Basic Force For Good In Our TimeTM.

** - realistically speaking, in terms of impact and exposure to the abuse of their religion by barking mad loonies like the (cough) esteemed Mr. Sali.

*** - who has also been to Europe...
