So a couple of questions: After the Wright, Hagee, and Parsley controversies, what on earth could possess this asshole priest, who obviously thinks he's pretty fly for a white guy, to engage in this offensive, misogynistic, racist diatribe in Obama's church? Does he not understand that everything that happens at that church is being filmed and scrutinized? Does he not comprehend how harmful what he was saying could be to Obama? Does he not understand how utterly incompatible with his role as priest this particular performance was, how vile the message, how hateful and un-Christ like?
I am sickened by these guys and their pathetic narcissism and their penchant for playing to the worst instincts of their congregations. (I am put in mind of Diderot's observation that "man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest." Substitute "crazy minister" for king and we might be on to something here.)
Can we return to being the party of the godless now? Because I have to say -- none of my pagan rituals -- which chiefly revolve around food and drink -- okay a lot of drink -- are likely to offend my fellow citizens.
