My brethren, stop being so stupid. Stop forwarding half-cocked emails based on bad logic and spite. The British journalist about choked on his microphone when the seemingly intelligent general manager of an ethanol plant in Missouri started talking about how he could never vote for Obama because he\u2019s scared and in Revelation 13 it says that an olive skinned Muslim will trigger the Armageddon.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t just look like a bunch of kooks. We are a bunch of kooks. I\u2019d be willing to put up with Christians speaking out on the election if they showed the least amount of biblical worldview and a marginal ability to exegete a Biblical text. But they don\u2019t. The eschatology of someone who can find \u201can olive-skinned Muslim\u201d in the Book of Revelation is that of a deluded maniac.<\/p>\n
Not only that, our Biblical rhetoric thinly veils a Republican partisanship that is downright idolatry. Bible-Thumpers across the spectrum reveled in the lurid missteps of Clinton. But when Bush showed the militancy of a Caligula we were the first to bow before his throne and overlook war crimes, trampling of civil rights and the most disgusting waster of America\u2019s bounty on bombs rather than bread. We\u2019re not a city on a hill. We\u2019re temple prostitutes at the altars of conservatism and neo-imperialism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
