  Surprise!

  I would like to say "who didn't see this coming?" But apparently, the Christian Right with their idol worship of George Bush didn't see this coming. And I knew when Bush was re-elected in 2004 that this would come back to bite him in the ass. He courted the Religious Right the way a slick player in a fancy car and nice threads seduces a woman that doesn't know better and then drops her after he gets what he came for. Now he won't return her phone calls. Poor thing. You thought he was different. But he wasn't. Just like all the others you've gone chasing. Christians have a long history of chasing the "gods" of power, wealth, and influence. Their God is a jealous and angry one which hates these affairs and promises destruction for the sin of idolatry. So no one who watches this should be surprised that these people are feeling about as used as a cheap whore. However, unlike the rest of us who might only have to live down the embarrassment of being fooled, the Christians also have to contend with their none-too-pleased Deity over this whole mess and pray that he'll be forgiving this time. For my part, I prayed that this day would come. Maybe now instead of calls for more worship of the "pastor-in-chief", nutbags like Falwell and Robertson will be calling on their followers to repent and humble themselves. That would be a welcome switch for all of us.
