UPDATE (22 December): Jim, over at Box Turtle Bulletin, has an excellent post about Republican presidential candidate Huckabee’s involvement with Christian Reconstructionists. Jim’s post gives a brief, but clear definition of who and what Christian Reconstructionists believe. Check it out!
Listen here.
Imagine what the U.S. would be like if laws were based on Christian fundamentalists such as Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, & James Dobson.
Recent report from CBN about “purity sieges” in front of gay bars, family planning clinics, and strip joints. “Fire!” Fundamentalism harassment at its best!
Young gay man is converted from homosexuality! “Fire!” The real story is here. [The young man, named James Stabile, was "converted" four months ago, coerced into an "ex-gay" ministry, where he spent thousands of dollars, and eventually reconnected with his family.] [Thanks to Towelroad and Michelangelo Signorile's blog for information.]
“We want a holy nation!”
Michelle Goldberg’s talk about the dangers of Christian Fundamentalism in U.S. Politics. [Thanks to Freethought Radio & Podcast].
Another preacher shouts about holy enemas and butt kissers. No kidding.
Enjoy the nightmare.

This makes me sick to think that they say they beleive in the same God I say I beleive in. Bastards.

Interesting stuff!? I guess one of the reasons why I’ve remained a catholic all these years. It may not seem ideal all of the time, but the teachings are a lot closer to the truth than what else passes for Christianity these days.

You’re right Judy. When I was a fundamentalist we often criticized the mainstream Christian churches and even claimed they weren’t Christian! Now, I see the value of these older established denominations. You’re much less likely to see the fanaticism that you see in a lot of the evangelical Christian denominations.

yikes! that gives me the holy creeps. Nightmare indeed. Why do they have to yell so much? A holy ghost enema?!? Please don’t tell Marvin about that. It’s bad enough that he once referred to deliverance as a spiritual colonic for the soul.

Didn’t you used to advocate this sort of thing once upon a time in your life, Peterson?
Not that I ever did the same thing in the past…
And why are you just getting around to listening to my podcast, hmm?

Well, sister love, I have been busy with uber progressive queers in Portland, OR consuming copious amounts of coffee to the point of heart palpitations. Now that I am finally home and alone, I can catch up on the podcasts.
And thanks a lot for highlighting Marvin in a recent podcast. I thought I had gotten rid of him but now he wants to launch into a whole new vlog series. That’s what we get for giving him a little attention.

That’s my point, Peterson. Listening to my podcast must be priority #1. Or else you’re a butt-kisser. You need a Holy Ghost enema right up your butt!
