Jesus...Notorious D.O.C.

So let me understand, conservatives by nature are God-fearing people.

God last time I checked wanted us to be kind to each other. Jesus, as we all know, was prolific as a healer. So if you go according to the lovely marketing strategy …

W.W.J.D?

Would he say David Flores can leave the hospital after being struck by a car? Would he wait for two weeks before the back specialist would see him?

I always thought one thing, I could do a lot of things wrong, but many of them wouldn’t break my mother’s heart? Try having to bury a child.

Would he say universal health care is his father’s will?

Would he say any man regardless of his background or experiences deserves medical attention?

Would he say please don’t allow another person to die because it cost too much?

How much is a life worth to you? How much is your child, mother, father, wife, husband worth to you?

Wow people! Jesus cured the sick, brought the dead back to life, he never said…

Sorry Blue Cross Blue Shield won’t cover him. Eventually we are going to have to ask ourselves are we so consumed with our own insular world that we could care less about someone else? The question is when we are the sick person, when we are the “unlucky” will we say…HELP ME JESUS!

Jesus has not returned, but there are doctors that are healers, that can make the sick well. When are we going to love one another as Jesus wanted?

I write this for many people, but mainly for David and his family. For your loss I'm so sorry.

Lord Save Us From Your Followers

In my quest to find some SANE dialog, rather than the bullshit talking points based on bullshit anecdotes culled from personal experiences and applied as generalizations, I offer the following trailer...

Inside Sarah's Church

I know, you ask, why should we care? Well, I read this paragraph and couldn't help but laugh...

“Oh father, use her to turn this nation around,” Bishop Muthee shouted, his left palm on Sarah Palin’s head, “so that the curse can be broken.”

So Palin losing means that God's will was done, and she should sit down and shut the heck up, right? I mean, we are supposed to pray for God's will to be done, not to ask for selfish things-- like winning elections.

So Palin's loss, for those Christian conservatives out there, was divine intervention and the curse was broken... That is if you really believe in what this pastor preaches.

The Rev. Steven Anderson: American Taliban?

http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/09/03/the-rev-steven-anderson-american-taliban/#comments
This is a man with an absolute belief in a particular interpretation of Scripture that many others consider archaic, an interest in seeing those beliefs affect the modern political and legal milieu, and a disregard (even a contempt) for other putative co-religionists who do not share these views.

Sound familiar?

Health Care as a ‘Moral Imperative’

http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=news-000003192470
A group of religious leaders launches a health care blitz Wednesday that will be highlighted by television ads, sermons and a nationwide “call-in” to the White House that will stress the “moral imperative” to extend affordable coverage to the nation’s uninsured.

The “40 Days for Health Reform” initiative by the interfaith groups will include prayer services in congressional districts, meetings of religious leaders with members of Congress and a “Nationwide Health Care Sermon Weekend” with preaching from the pulpit on the need for a health care overhaul.
