More good old fashioned Christian love
Posted by Jill | 8:10 AM

You know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see Jesus ride in on Shadowfax, brandishing Excalibur, and when he sees people like Jerry Falwell, and Bill Frist, and the Rev. Fred Phelps, and all of their many followers, he smites them in one blow and screams, "How DARE you claim to speak in My Name?" Then he turns to the rest of us and says, "Now will you believe in Me?"

And you know what my answer will be? "Where do I sign?"

Then we all go for a big feast, where music from all over the world is played, and a new era begins, in which the man's message isn't corrupted by a misogynistic guy who was the first Jew to try to pass as a gentile by changing his name from Saul to Paul.

But until then, we have to deal with crap like this:

Authorities at a Christian university near Chicago moved dozens of black and Hispanic students to a hotel for their own safety and police stepped up patrols on campus Friday after three people received threatening, racist letters.

This is what people like Frist and Phelps and Bush and Cheney and the rest of the Christofascists don't understsand -- that whether they themselves advocate this kind of retribution against those who transgress from some particular social order, their rhetoric, invoking God, gives tacit approval to those who do.
