Can someone please tell me what is wrong with these people?

Last night I was watching the news and they were talking about the Democratic Convention and Barack Obama and all that political stuff that I don’t pay too much attention to.

And then I heard something that almost made me choke on the slice of pizza I was eating. It seems that Focus on the Family (Dr. James Dobson) is calling for his followers to pray for torrential rain so that Mr. Obama’s speech will get rained out.

Oh, but wait, it gets better. As I was doing a Google search for more information on this, I came across this handy dandy little blog.

Ok. Now all I can really say here is OH MY GOD THESE FUCKING PEOPLE ARE INSANE!!!!!

Look, we all know that rational thinking is often not my strong point. And we all know that I get overly emotional and can go off on a tangent like nobody’s business. But please, please, PLEASE people…can you not use your brains here?

First of all, what is this nonsense? You don’t like what Mr. Obama has to say about abortion so you’re going to pray that his speech will be rained out? I see. So, let’s ignore the fact that there are plenty of places that are in such a horrible drought that they desperately need rain. And let’s also ignore the fact that praying to the invisible man in the sky to rain on somebody’s parade simply because you don’t like what he has to say is utterly ridiculous and childish. But tell me this. If the Democratic Convention is “rained out”, will that change Mr. Obama’s view on abortion? Speaking of which, how many of these people honestly know what Mr. Obama’s view on abortion is? Well, folks, here it is.

Read it. Study it. Learn it. There will be a test on it later as another fundamentalist idiot is sure to open their mouth and spew hatred. I’m not about to get into a discussion about abortion because, as a woman, I’m personally sick of these fools trying to tell me what’s good for me and what’s bad for me when it’s my body and I can do whatever the hell I want. So there. Once again, I don’t need a moral babysitter to tell me the difference between right and wrong as I already have a conscience (this is what I mean about me and my tangents).

Now, let’s touch briefly on this silly rumor that Mr. Obama is the anti-christ. You people are dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb. You know you don’t really believe he’s the anti-christ. I mean, the end of times has been coming for the past 30 years as far as I’m aware, because I remember sitting in church one Sunday night when I was the young age of 7 or 8 and watching a movie about the rapture that was filmed in the 70’s. Well, it’s been almost 30 years since the end of the 70’s and we’re still here….no rapture, no anti-christ, no barcode tattooed on our arm or forehead.

Look people. Use your brain. Think for yourself and stop listening to the poison that is being spewed from the pulpits. Join the real world and stop worrying so much about what’s going to happen when you die and are buried 6 feet under. There is no reason to live your life in fear of eternal damnation in the flaming pits of hell. If that actually does happen, well you’ll already be dead so I doubt you’ll feel it much. But if, as your bible says, your acts on earth decide what riches you’ll get in heaven, then don’t you think you should stop being so nasty and intolerant of those that you don’t agree with?
