Scene from right after Jesus bleached his hair.....

[kpete]

.........Speaking on satellite television (a technological wonder, whether we still recognize it or not, and no matter what we think of Fox News) in the twenty-first century, this sharp, degree-bearing professional American has just asked, with a straight face, a senator (who happens himself to be a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law) if he is receiving messages from a supernatural being. Yet no one in the audience broke into guffaws or even chuckled. And, of course, no one cried out with irate incredulity at the ludicrousness of the supposition implicit in the question (that an imaginary heavenly ogre could possibly be beaming instructions down to one of his earthling subjects). But since the supernatural being in question goes by the name of “God,” in the clown show that was the Republican debate, everyone – audience, MC, and the clowns themselves – simultaneously took leave of their senses and judged the matter at hand legit.

16. DU does not "hate on religion"

DU hates on the bastardization of religion that is occurring in the world. Whether it is the perversion of Islam to justify terrorism, or the out and out destruction of the teaching of Christ to justify the hate filled narcissism of the GOP. That hypocrisy is what is attacked on DU, as it should be.
