Plus, you have to believe that there are some contradictions in the idea of evangelizing -- I mean, don't they believe that if you say some wacky credo that you're automatically "chosen?" Never mind that you might be, say, a drunk rich kid who embezzled from the taxpayers and would grow up to be a mass murderer and near tyrant?

Excuse me, but I thought that religion, if not necessarily justified by deeds, would at least say, require some contemplation.

Plus, there's the whole thing in the Bible about praying on streetcorners, and whatnot. Of course, the Religious Right has practically revised all the important stuff out. I read an extra-long-bullshit essay by some Dominionist about how "meek" as in "the meek shall inherit the Earth," didn't mean "humble," "deferrent" or "persecuted," but that it meant people who had a lot of money and pushed other people around -- so long as they "claimed" they did it for whatever version or interpretation of God they felt was most convenient, which in this case, was the GOP Mammon Jesus of White Domination. No shit.

This is the crap that I don't want them teaching my son.
