Perry and His Religion (or, How To Crucify The Texts Along With Jesus)

Perry Perry SuspiciousPastor Jim Rigby of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas, nails Rick Perry to the wall for his gross exploitation of Christianity.

He points out that the texts that Perry's Right Wing collaborators venerate condemn his prayer event.

Pastor Rigby gets it right.

Perry is not praying to the Christian God for America.  He's praying to a pagan god made in his own image, one that needs Rick Perry to lead America into a bright new day where (coincidentally) God's power will endorse Rick Perry's power. 

Well.

Fuck that noise.

If you pray to God, you need half as many amplifiers, and none of the media.

When you pray to the people to acknowledge and endorse you, well, yeah.  You do like Perry.

Pastor Perry's Political Porno

Come, Republicans,
Let us reason with the Deity together.
Sing praises to our god,
Politic.
With our symbols
And our liars
Make a loud noise.

Bring your children
Your jewels, your gold,
Your riches and your children,
Offer them blindly to
Pastor Perry's raging fire.

Dance, children, dance,
While Pastor Perry takes
His budding rod
And your wealth
And forms a
New and Beautiful
Calf.

Worship blindly.
Fuck your neighbor.
It's ok.
Crazy Moses can't see us;
He's still up there
Talking to burning shrubbery.

I feel embarrassed asking this, but here goes.

Could explain what you mean in your post, please? I think I'm not 'getting' who the people are and what they stand for and what your reaction is to them/their views.

I hope I've asked the right questions.

Thanks.

Never mind my previous post. I think the lightbulb has come on. Sorry for that.

This guy is pretty much everything I don't like in the American Church.
