Fundamentalists
It's nice to see religion moving into the 21st century. There's the new Pope Bennie, who was head of the Inquisition's successor and onetime Hitler Youth. The guy is 78 and was known as "God's Rottweiler." Talk about "don't ask, don't tell." Somehow I don't think gay marriages will be getting much thought for awhile. Maybe gays should find their pink triangles and get them ready for wear.
In our country we have a born-again president who talks to God to find out how to run the country. Even television - the vast wasteland - is going the way of the Revelations, Talk With an Angel, and around here Billie Graham preempts NCIS on a regular basis. It makes you wonder how long before you're going to have to swear to their God before you can hold office or buy a car.
We complain about Muslim fundamentalists, but it seems like we're heading in the same direction. Really, does it make any difference whether the other guy believes in Jesus or Allah, as long as you can kill them for not believing what you do? And really, does it make any difference whether you're killed by a Toyota Corolla packed with C4 and nails, or a Lockheed Martin F-16 packed with precision munitions. Dead is dead.
