Prayers to Protect the Hateful and Scared

So I went to one of the "pray for Tom" sites tonight just to see what's being said, and the message is clearly out there that anyone who does anything but acknowledge Tom is terrific is demon spawn shat from the ass of a Dem ass. The word "foment" kept popping into my brain (I'm sure I don't know why).

Here are some of the talking points to woo DeLay support:

Do you want your children to INHERIT an officially God-less nation?

You mean along with the God-less debt that Mr. Bush is going to saddle them with? American isn't a Godless nation. There seem to be many different Gods represented, in fact, and what's amazing is that the so-called leaders of some of the most "righteous" of them purposely pervert the truth for their own agenda.

Are you GRIEVED that 45 million American babies have been murdered by "legal" abortion?

As opposed to 45 million children, many of which may be born into circumstances that will not allow such children to thrive, especially in a climate where health care is becoming exclusively a rich man's luxury, where wages can't begin to keep up with price jumps, where the same people who demand that abortions be stopped also refuse to fund programs to help nurture those babies once they're born?

I'm also grieved about the many children that have faced a possible death sentence in this country. State-funded murder of children is fine when the child is a complete being but AWFUL when the child is still a collection of cells that cannot live outside the uterus.

Are you HORRIFIED that the very sex crimes that provoked God to destroy ancient Sodom are now special, protected “rights” in America?

You know what horrifies me? People who ask questions like that and then hurry home to watch Desperate Housewives, Growing Up Gotti, The Sopranos, and other red-state popular programming.

Again and again, pious people like you are picked up for child sexual abuse, blackmailed to keep quiet about the homosexual liaisons, the mistress, the girl you knocked up and then made to have an abortion.

Do you WEEP over a worldly, divided & largely ineffective American Church?

A worldly church? Oh, the horror that a church would embrace people of different cultures and colors and characters. And there is no "American Church". America was NOT founded as a theocracy. We will stop you from turning it into a theocracy.

Are you OUTRAGED that our Courts are determined to strip us of true religious liberty?

Nice spinneroo. But what you're pissed about is that the Courts refuse to let you exercise your religious liberty against other people. You want everyone to follow your rules. But most of us get over that fantasy around age 7 or 8.

For people like you, religious liberty is defined as the ability to force your religion and so-called great moral values on people who choose to live and believe differently. Just allowing a Jew to visit a synagogue or a Muslim a mosque or an agnostic to sit home is seen by you as a strike against your religious liberty.

Go create a theocracy somewhere. Enjoy. But you're not having this country to debase into something Cotton Mather would find too constricting.

Do you know in your heart that America’s ONLY HOPE is sweeping, God-given Revival & a Biblical Reformation - ushered in by prayer?

No. Our hope is through an intelligent educated public who makes choices based upon knowledge and real moral values (one can be moral without a God, you know) that are in the best interests of not only themselves but their neighbors. The more educated and critical their thinking helps them become, the less likely they are to fall to the bait of your fear and damnation traps.

Shame, shame on you for lying about what God wants to put forth your own nasty agenda. God will get you for this.
