As Matt Damon said:
"I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago. I want to know that. I really do because she's gonna have the nuclear codes. I wanna know that"

Also, I don't think anyone who believes the rapture is near and is hoping for it should be anywhere near nuclear weapons.
But, have you ever seen these churches where people speak in tongues and "drive out demons?" It's really bizarre.
Embarrassing even, to see adults who should know better carrying on that way.
Any medical specialist in abnormal psychology will assure you that extremely damaging psychoses can be induced by sheer will and constant practice. These are the people who end up straitjacketed in padded cells with delusions of being Napoleon. In case you were wondering where they came from.
Other psychiatrists will assure you that their churches should have locks on the doors, big guys in white coats who don't smile hanging around, and an attending physician. And even they will assure you, shaking their heads, that severe mental illness is a right guaranteed by the Constitution.
On a lighter note:
Jesus walks into a motel and lays a bunch of nails on the counter and says to the clerk, "Can you put me up for the night?"
And people, before you go off about him being "just a celebrity" - he went to Harvard and chose not to take his last few credits to pursue his acting career. He's smart- and he's right.
Do you want someone a heartbeat away from the presidency with the belief that dinosaurs were here a few thousand years ago? I want to hear the Rep trolls answer this. Because this is what she believes. Also, do you want someone who wants to ban books in the Oval office? There's no way she can uphold the Constitution if she wants to ban books.
She's a fucking loony. Plain as day.

Joel's Army is counting on it. That's their goal. They said so. Joel's Army was really big last year. And a lot bigger this year.
One of these days you're going to pull out the driveway on your way to the grocery store and you won't but help to notice this super bright flash of light.
Nope, not Jesus. Thermonuclear detonation, 20-megaton hydrogen bomb, big enough to flatten Cleveland and environs. Some people consider instant mass incineration to be a divine blessing, but what do they know?
If you didn't say goodbye to your kids, it's too late now.
But you have no problem with transubstantiation, you know, eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus, the devil, hell and eternal damnation and hell fire, sin, raising the dead, necromancy - praying to the dead for help, the burning marijuana bush that gave the law and the land of canaan to the Hebrews, or the prophet Mohammed riding up to heaven on a horse, or the miracles of buddha.
?Yeah, those wacky people who have a religion different than mine. Jeebus are they wacko!
Yeah, like Camille, I read the Nag Hammadi and I know what it means.

Ritual cannibalism is protected by the First Amendment. Jesus could use a little salt maybe.
Somehow it's not a sin to go the bathroom afterwards.
You must be a theologian and a philosopher.
I am honored by your comment and I am certain that so would someone else. He could use a laugh now and then.

I know that Jesus' pet peeve was religious hypocrisy and that he'd recognize the Religious Right to be the heirs of the people who had the Romans murder him.

Sure, Jesus had a sense of humor.
What do you think he meant when he criticized Jewish dietary laws, saying that it's not what somebody eats that make him unclean. It's what comes out.
Real theologians know that Jesus was invented by religious zealots of the time to get them to rebel against Rome and never actually existed. And that the Revelations are the ravings of a senile lunatic obsessed with the Old Testament.
Modern Christianity is not Petrine, but Pauline, and therefore completely contradicts the teachings of "Jesus", who ministered exclusively to Jews, and not to gentiles. Only Jews can be real Christians. Period.
The real question is not: what does Sarah Palin believe religiously?
The question is: to what extent does she think that the U.S. government ought to be used as a tool to support and spread her relgious beliefs, as opposed to being used to make it possible for people of many different religious beliefs to live together in peace, equality, and freedom?
I don't worry about Biden's Catholicism because I don't think he would use his government power to follow Catholic rules - for example, he wouldn't push for a law outlawing divorce. (I keep wondering why Catholic bishops, who seem willing to excommunicate politicians for supporting civil marriage for gays, don't seem to have any problem with politicians who support civil divorce, and the right to remarry civilly, for all citizens. Probably because it's easier to pick on homosexuals.)
I worry about Palin's Pentecostalism because I have no doubt that she would use the office of VP - and, God forbid, the presidency - to reflect or even implement her religious views. I feel quite sure that her desire to use government power to force even teenage rape victims to continue their pregnancies agains their will, and her opposition not just to gay marriage but to civil rights for gays, are just the tip of the iceberg.

A religious nutcase with access to the US nuclear arsenal is no laughing matter. And the sheer size of the problem is simply stupendous.
The US has over 10,000 nukes, and hundreds of those are of the enormous variety, each enough to take out whole states. Together, enough to exterminate life on Earth, cockroaches included. But that's nothing.
The Russians went apeshit making plutonium in the 1960's, so much it would take centuries to put it all into bombs, so they just stockpiled it, very, very cautiously. Enough to take the Earth's crust down to the mantle. The production waste alone was enough to create an accidental nuclear detonation in the Urals years ago, and they were being careful. Very messy. Tschernobyl was nothing in comparison.
Since there is no way at all to get rid even a small amount of it, it is only a matter of time. I've been hoping for those colonies on Mars they've been promising so I can get off this rock.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
