God Distances Self From Christian Right
THE HEAVENSResponding to inflammatory remarks made by Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock during a debate Tuesday night, Our Lord God the Almighty Father sought today to distance Himself from both Mourdock and the entire right-wing fundamentalist Christian movement, sources confirmed.
I want to make one thing absolutely clear: Mr. Mourdocks comments from last night in no way reflect my position on this or any other issue, said the Divine Creator, speaking at a press conference this afternoon to address Mourdocks remarks that rape-induced pregnancies were Gods intent. And furthermore, I would like to take this opportunity to say definitively that I, God, do not officially sanction or condone the words or actions of anyone involved in the fanatical, conservative Christian faction that Mr. Mourdock represents.
Many people hear my name in connection with the Christian Right and start to assume we are aligned in some capacity, and Im here to say, for the record, that we are not, God continued. So let me just be clear: I dont want women to get rapednot ever. I dont think their resulting pregnancies are my divine will. And if a woman is raped, then she has the right to get an abortion, period. I do not agree with Mourdock. I do not agree with the Christian Right. End of story.
