Drag Queens in the Library, Bad. Prayer to a Killing God, Good.


There are still Christians beating their chests to have teachers pray in school. This even though it was found to be not Constitutional decades ago. Now, they are claiming drag queens reading to children in a public library are some cult .

I'm quite sure the drag queens have never told children, "You are sinners." Drag queens also do not tell children, "You should obey this God. He drowned thousands of kids who sinned by sending a flood and not letting them on the boat.That's why we know he loves you." It was the God teachers are supposed to pray to in front of children who said that, not drag queens.

The link goes into great detail giving us the skinny on the cult these drag queens represent. It implies secret alliances between historical figures and present day entertainers. He does not give evidence other than his conspiracy theory.

We all know children like fantasy. It has been in stories around camp fires since the beginning of humans we think. The Bible itself has lots of it.

The Bible and those who follow it today like control over people. They do not like the unusual. Dress alike and think alike are there in spades. No gay pastors because they are different. No women clergy because it gives them power over theology. When it comes to which ideas should be presented to children and which should be withheld things can get rather feisty.

I've never seen much introspection among devout Christians. They don't have much interest in looking at the histories of all the gods worshiped by people today. Nor do they want to admit their own God is not more likely or unlikely to exist than all the others they regard with disdain.

Drag queens to libraries are there for a good purpose. They make children happy.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

Image
We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
