My friend Mark Gstohl has an article at Religion Dispatches Blog about the Southern Baptist resolution on Christmas.

That guy’s not only cool. He’s also pretty smart.

This is it. I know that most conservative Christians are idiots. I don’t think they’re idiots because they’re Christians. I think they are idiots because they are Americans. There, I’ve said it. Call me unpatriotic or a snob if you want, but I’ve had it with stupidity.

Last week I went fishing and our guide had Jesus crap all over his boat and truck. He also used the “N” word a lot and made fun of “Retards.”

I heard yesterday on NPR that Obama met with Christian leaders and was asked about his Muslim background by one of them! Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!

Southern Baptists approved a resolution about Christmas! The resolution–”urged Southern Baptists and other Christians to “resist the march of secularism” and to seek to influence businesses and other institutions to return Christmas to “its proper place in the culture.” Was the resolution encouraging their members to focus more on Jesus and less on consumption during the season? Oh Hell no! “The statement on secularism and the use of Christmas came in response to the recent practice by some businesses, public schools and other entities of substituting secular terms for Christmas.”

What a flipping joke! Doesn’t Bill O’Sleazy do a good enough job for you? You are so right Southern Baptists! Home Depot needs to force their Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or Atheist employees to wish everybody a Merry Christmas! That’ll bring em’ to Jesus! You self-centered jerks need to shut the heck up!

Once again, Southern Baptists are telling everybody how they should act and what they should say! What a bunch of maroons! Making folks say “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays” will help us remember the “real” meaning of Christmas. Love, Peace, Joy, Intolerance!

The VBS (Vacation Bible School) material from Southern Baptists includes a song where a Biblical text is taken way out of context and used incorrectly. The children’s minister at my church pointed this out to me yesterday. VBS begins tonight at my church. Thankfully, my minister was wise enough to omit this song from VBS this year because it can cause some real confusion.

The song, “The Word”, by Jeff Slaughter is about how the Bible is God’s word, it’s true, it’s good for teaching, etc. Unfortunately, the song begins by quoting the beginning of John’s Gospel (In the beginning was the Word). There, the Word is Jesus—not the Bible.

It’s a really bad use of the text, but then again–I’m kind of used to that from Southern Baptists! I’m sure that if I had more exposure to other denominations, I’d see it there too.

Here are the words:

In the beginning was the Word and It was with God and was God.
Before an eye had seen or ear had heard, there was the Word.
I know the Bible is God’s Word, His written promises to earth.
It is a lamp unto the feet of those who believe in its worth.
The Word is Perfect Truth. The Word is what I cling to.
Unbreakable, unshakeable Word of God.
I love the Word of God.
I know the Bible is God’s Word, His written promises to earth.
It is a lamp unto the feet of those who believe in its worth.
The Word is Perfect Truth. The Word is what I cling to.
Unbreakable, unshakeable Word of God.
I love the Word of God.
Page after page it teaches me day after day it speaks to me
and leads me in the ways of righteousness.
The Word is Perfect Truth. The Word is what I cling to.
Unbreakable, unshakeable Word of God.
I love the Word I love the Word of God.

I was sick yesterday and was unable to post. Above is a picture I took on a vacation several years ago. Here’s an interesting video.

Are all Americans this stupid or is it just West Virginia?
If Americans can be this stupid…we deserve what we get.

Hogan’s son Nick was sentenced to 8 months in jail for reckless driving. Above, we hear that the young man who was in the car with Nick who, BTW will need “a lifetime of medical care,” was not injured because of Nick’s negligence, but because “God laid some heavy sh*t on him.”

Why not make money off the situation, note Hogan’s son can’t even correctly pronounce reality, it’s God’s fault any way?
