The hypocrisy of the “Christian right” is astounding. I am still amazed by the Terri Schiavo case, partly because, as I said, I live within blocks of the Hospice where she is at., and I was never a fan of big Government. However, the on camera remarks made by the religious right, coming right out with threats against the Judges in this case, is unreal. Included in this mob is Pat Robertson, who I never had any respect for anyway, but the nasty remarks, name calling, and threats to use their power to have them removed from the bench is appalling.
I have seen scores of people, many with a Bible in hand, or others that are obviously priests and other positions of different faiths. These so-called religious people are walking around with signs that are unbelievable given their position. Things like “pray for Terri, let God take Michael”, and others just as bad. How can we as a society not have a problem with this? Parents have enough trouble getting children into church, but then you see those who call themselves religious, who are nothing more than the hate mongers we try to save our children from, often through church. However, when those who run the church are the ones waving the signs, we as a country are really in trouble. It teaches not only is it ok to hate, and threaten, but to use the cover of religion to do it.
