Rapture Monday: In the wake of justice
No Rapture Monday last week. I was convinced the world would end and no one would be left to read the blog. My bad. The Rapture Index is up 2 points to 153 since we last checked it. Jews and Israel have come under "heavy verbal attack". Seems like that would be preferable to mortar fire, but not when you are as committed as Kirk Cameron to dancing on the still-smoldering embers of the unchosen! We've got two weeks of highlights from the Religiously Correct for your enjoyment:- Sunday was Justice Sunday, part 2. Think Progress has some highlights from the folks who oppose enshrining Islam in the Iraq constitution but want their very own American sharia. My favorite quote comes from Phyllis Schlafly: "How do the judges get away with such outrageous decisions? By asserting that Supreme Court decisions are the supreme law of the land. But you know that is not true. That is a terrible heresy." To Schlafly, of course, the Supreme Law of the Land is God's law, as revealed specifically to her, through His emissaries, the Republican donor class. Your handy guide is here.
- Leading up to Justice Sunday 2, the Religiously Correct were complaining that the Washington Post's fashion writer wrote about John Roberts children. Fashion writers: "the kind of people who have been picking our judges for years".
- Justice Sunday was bad, but it wasn't an abomination. I know this, because I've seen abomination. His name is Fred Phelps.
- Intelligent Design won't go away.
- Bill Frist, star performer of Justice Sunday I, is now persona non grata given his position on embryonic stem cell research. Mama says "Science is the devil."
- The Catholic Church opposes the use of birth control, but is willing to make a few checkbook-related exceptions.
- Watch the FRC scramble to determine whether John Roberts is homophobic enough. Tony Perkins says yes, but Paul Weyrich says, "Oh, hell no!".
- California homophobes are mad because the attorney general has accurately described the real world effects of their ballot initiative.
- Oklahoma homophobes want to ban some books. One book is on the list because it regards homosexuality as normal.
- Wrap your mind around this. The same movement that wants to ban books that discuss homosexuality, cries that teaching kids evolution without Intelligent Design is censorship.
- Did you know that homosexuals in America die up to 30 years earlier than heterosexuals, making homophobia really a way to help people live longer? You probably didn't, because it's flat not true.
- Is our children learning? I don't know. I'm too worried about whether is our little boys thinking effeminately.
