People should be able to ooga booga to anything they want to – heck, they can make pilgrimages to see stains on garage walls that look like preggers virgins. Who cares?

Just keep that superstitious savagery off my Country, off my body, and out of my laws. Do that weird stuff behind closed doors, please.

This is exactly why the churches need to be taxed. I am sick of paying for infrastructure they don’t pay for. I am sick of priests and ministers getting a complete tax write off on their housing and domestic help. They should pay like the rest of us and stop sucking off the public teat.

The science of Neurotheology will be a hot one to watch. So far they have found out that the brains of meditating monks most resemble the brains of those with dementia, indicating that ignorance, may indeed, be bliss. They have also found out that the same region of the brain that excites at the thought of God is the same spot that excites when people are admiring themselves.

In the movie, The Ruling Class, Peter O’Toole thinks he is God. When his cousin asks him how he knows he is God, he replies, “Simple. I find when I pray to Him, I am talking to myself.”

Um, Zong? I think you’re confusing the author’s point with the point the author was arguing against. Try reading the article again, slower this time.

I think that if you drew a Venn diagram of “The Religious Right” and “the anti-government Tea Party racists and plutocrats,” the overlap between those two major components of the Republican Party would probably be upward of 90%. Most of the plutocrats would probably fall in the small crescent of Tea Partiers outside the Religious Right bubble, but there aren’t so many of them.
