I live in a not-particularly-religious, particularly-liberal part of the country, which means that during the Presidential campaign I was surrounded by a large number of not-particularly-religious fervent Obama supporters, which means that I had the following conversation (or some variant of it) on multiple occasions:
“You realize that Obama is a Jesus-lover?”“You don’t know that.”
“He claims it on his website and in his book and in his speeches!”
“That’s true, but he’s ‘much too smart’ to believe in that stuff. I choose to believe that he’s a craven liar who only claims to be religious in order to get elected. That way I can proudly vote for him!”
Apparently his craven lies continue, as I read that he has established the new practice of inviting local religious nuts to deliver vetted-by-the-White-House prayers before his local events:
The day before the president arrived in Elkhart, Culp spent an hour and a half crafting his prayer, roughly a minute and 20 seconds long, before calling an aide from the White House Office of Public Liaison to recite it for vetting, as the administration requested. “She said that it was beautiful and that there shouldn’t be a problem with it but that she would call in the morning if there was,” Culp recalls.
If anyone from the Obama administration is reading, I humbly offer my “prayer” services for the next time he makes an appearance in the Pacific Northwest.
I just have to think up a word that rhymes with false.
A word that rhymes with false, eh? How about this:
“Your religion is false. Now suck on my balse.”
They’re not gonna approve anything that speaks ill of religion in general, or any specific religious belief (aside from blowing up Americans to get a free ticket to Islamic Paradise), so might as well toss in some vulgarity too. That way, when you complain that they tried to censor your religious speech, and they claim it was merely on grounds of vulgarity…an accomplice of yours can submit a carefully-crafted, well-reasoned, poetically-rendered and vulgarity-free diatribe against baseless faith and mindless superstition, and they might be able to be forced to accept it.
