The New, Improved Jesus

The Supreme court has declined to hear a Florida case that would have made it harder to sue over government violation of the First Amendment. We will have to wait for another day to force our medieval religious opinions on a public that is moving away from that mindset.

But wait. Clarence "Uncle" Thomas and his quest to theocratize government is not through yet. The authoritarian right will find other, similar cases to force us into the loving arms of televangelist hucksters...er, I mean men of God. Praise Jesus!

The Church of England has declared its intention to refuse to allow marriage rites to same-sex couples. Take away our God-given right to hate gays and who is left for us Christians to deny Christ's love? Well yes, there are women, atheists, liberals, and intellectuals, but except for atheists, he can't hate as hard on them as we can on the LGBTQ people and we must vent our pent-up rage at our growing irrelevance somehow, mustn't we?

Across the ocean, an agent of the American federal government has ruled that higher education institution are withing their rights to discriminate against homosexuals. Our need to keep a large segment of the population in the closet and out of higher education has advanced, thanks to a federal jusdge and a freedom-loving group with a record of defending reliously-affiliated universities we are one step closer to pushing these "Others" back into the closet.

Jesus loves you, some of you.

Keep 'em Barefoot and . . .

Your labor pains begin. You need a medial professional. Where to turn?

You anticipate complications. Who cares? Certainly not the Iowa legislature in their act of not-yet ultimate misogyny. What is the ultimate act? Well, South Carolina wants that honor. The state legislature there has passed a bill that would subject women who have an abortion to 30 years in prison or the death sentence. Yes, the Death sentence. Next, lynching for a miscarriage?

Meanwhile, a "Christian" so-called Right to Life group seems to prefer death to abortion in Tennessee unless the patient is "bleeding out". How very Christian of them.

Be afraid, women. Be very afraid.

In other Keep 'em in the kitchen news, a headline  tells us that "Southern Baptists boot Saddleback Church for having a female pastor".

Women pastors as allies or adversaries? Adversaries, of course. It is our duty to Almighty God to keep uppity women out of positions of authority. Give 'em an inch and soon they will want equality and autonomy. Keeping women under our control is a key component of our drive to return to the medieval age and Christian control of the cultuture and the country. Tomorrow, the World! Praise Jesus.

Protecting Dear Leader

Republicans became obsessed with finding a reason to impeach a sitting President following the impeachment of Richard Nixon. Now, following the impeachment trials of Donald Trump his sycophants House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, House Oversight Chairman James Comer and House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, in an effort to shield Trump from further charges as a way to avoid another Nixon embarrassment, have called for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to turn over documents relating to the investigation of the former president: Damage control. Gotta protect the man. Yes, he is a vile human being, but he is one of us.

The man only wants absolute power and public adoration. Is that so wrong?

Benito Mussolini didn't have to put ups with this kind of shit.
