So tomorrow is Justice Sunday II – the continuing beratement of our courts by a zealous group of ‘christians’. The sequel, unlike the original, is drawing a great deal of mainstream criticism. In response to this theocratic event Harvey Knox has written:
How Christian is it to say poor people deserve their state, gay people should be fired from their jobs, wars should be prosecuted based on might over right and women should have no say over what happens to their own bodies? It is not very Christian at all.
Truer words are rarely written.
In defense of the event, organizer Tony Perkins has said:
“We have never claimed, nor will we claim, that we speak for all people of faith,” Perkins said. “But we certainly speak for a large percentage of those people who agree with us…”
Gee, so they have the fortitude to speak for those who agree with them . . . and not even all of them. They don’t speak for those who don’t have access to the media, nor those who are unable to speak for themselves, but rather those poor oppressed christians with money, power, and access.
Well, I speak for those who agree with me — which is usually myself and my cats. Though, to be accurate, my cats usually have a more laissez-faire economic philosophy then I do. . . .
