Dear Jesus, Please make your followers smarter.
And to my fellow disciples of Christ – can we just try to stop making such a fool out of Jesus in public?
We aren’t bringing any glory to our Lord when we lie about stupid shit that is really easy to check. Let’s just keep to the basics, shall we?
“‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth….etc…
The founding fathers were not “born again.”
America was not founded as a “christian country.”
America does not have a special place in God’s heart.
If you think any of those things, you don’t know anyhting about Christianity or American history.
Exceptionalism at its worst.
The religious-rethugs idea of kick-ass, warrior Jeebus reminds me of lyrics to Camper Van Beethoven song:
Yeah might makes right
Yeah might makes right
They say that god is on our side and made us mighty
Yeah might makes right
Yeah might makes right
They say that god is on our side I don’t believe them
I’m crawling through the under brush, we’re teched up to the hilt
Compared to us these poor guys should be wearing shorts and kilts
I’ve got a living breathing shadow crossed up in my scope
My partner gives the signal, pull the trigger, then there’s smoke
Might makes right
Yeah might makes right
They say that god is on our side and makes us mighty
Yeah might makes right
Yeah might makes right
They say that god is on our side I don’t believe them
Might makes right
Yeah might makes right
I guess that god is on our side and makes us mighty
Yeah might makes right
Yeah might makes right
They say that god is on our side I don’t believe them
They want us from the villages, they want us from the towns
Who could really blame them, shit blows up when we’re around
We fly above their houses with our Huey double-props
We scare the crap out of their kids, their mothers and their frocks
Might makes right
Yeah might makes right
I guess ’cause god is on our side it makes us mighty
Yeah might makes right
Yeah might makes right
They say that god is on our side I don’t believe them
And a video, for her pleasure…

Since we’re on lyrics, how about Kinston native and part-time Wilmington resident Bob Marley. This is one of my favs…
Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights.
Religion – Clouding judgment since the beginning of time.
Ja Man!
Pass the dutchie to the left-hand side….
…cause the right will put it out, Buzzkillers!
please the right smokes more than the left, they just don’t admit it in public like the lefties doo…..bie
