With same sex marriage laws being place on the ballot in Washington State, Maine, Maryland and Minnesota, the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy - which I now view as part of the theocratic Christian Right (the Christofascists if you will) - the National Organization for Marriage and many other "family values organizations will be spending many millions of dollars aimed at the sole purpose of keeping same sex love and relationships inferior under the civil laws of these states. Millions of dollars that ought to be spent fulling the Gospel message, not persecuting other human beings. The image above from Andrew Sullivan's blog hit home with me and made me ask myself WTF is wrong with these self-congratulatory "godly Christians?" Here are details that go with the image above:
A Sudanese mother holds her baby waiting for food at a malnutrition and feeding center at the Yida refugee camp along the border with North Sudan June 29, 2012 in Yida, South Sudan. Yida refugee camp has swollen to nearly 60,000 as the refugees flee from South Kordofan in North Sudan. The rainy season has increased the numbers of sick children suffering from diarrhea and severe malnutrition as the international aid community struggles to provide basic assistance to the growing population, with most arriving with only the clothes they are wearing. Many of the new arrivals walked up to 2 weeks or more to reach the camp. By Paula Bronstein/Getty Images.
I find it stunning that increasingly, conservative Christians seem to be the antithesis of what the Gospel message is about. The same goes for their political prostitutes in the GOP as summarized in the image below.Am I wrong?
